Sec. CliHord Pledges Equal Employment

Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford said July 1 he "shall spare no effort" to strengthen the individual freedom of op­portunity.

In I _r.ndum to the one million civlli.n employeel of Ihe Defen .. Deportment he Mid: "I wi.h to reaffirm th.1 the principle of equ.1 employ­ment opportunity without re­gard to race, creed, color, or n.tion.1 origin, must .nd will continue to com .... nd tot. I IUpport throughout the D. portment of Defen.e."

Mr. Clifford said significant progress has been made to­ward achieving fairer and more effective utilization of the . many skills and talents of minority group civilian emplo­yees.

"We recognize, however, that more remains to be done,"

he added. "The high priority requirement for further prog­ress in equal employment will have my personal and earnest attention. "

The Secret.ry •• id Defen.e progr.m. for equ.lity in .. cruitment, car e • r develop­ment, promotion, .nd in I II other .speds of civilian e~ ployment mu.t be ch ... cter­ized by ~tive, c .... tiv. .tti. tudes and .dions.

"In carrying out our mis­sion," he said, "we must strive also to strengthen the indivi­dual freedom of opportunity which in our society and in this Department is the entitlement of every member. I shall spare no effort in the attainment of this vital goal. I expect every official, supervisor and emplo­yee of this Department to do likewise."

Center Library Gets New Look

The Center Library is getting a "new look" to give patrons added space, improved light­ing, and air conditioning.

At the present time the south half of the library is be­ing remodelled. As soon as this end of the building i. complet­ed, the north part of the libra­ry will be remodelled. As a result it has. been necessary to store part of the book collec· tion and the back iss u e 5 of rna'gazines and newspapers.

The staff very much regrets the inconvenience to library patrons which will result from the remodelling, and feel all will agree the improvements will be well worth the tempo­rary inconvenience.

July Blueiacket Award Goes To CYN·3 Taylor

Plans Future as Data Programmer CYN-3 James W. Taylor, a

communications yeoman in Air Development Squadron F i v e since October 1966, has bee n selected for 'Bluejacket of the Month' for July.

HI. f u t u replan. include completing the college educa­tion which he hod .tarted be­fore joining the N.vy in No­vember 1965, and pur.uing a ca­....r in d.t. progr.mming. A degr.. in music is another goll he h .. b .. n working to­ward since he first sang in a church choir 13 years .go. Mu­sic ha. been his most serious hobby .ince then, Ind one th.t he Ihlre. with hi. wife Nino.

The Taylors spend eve r y free weekend singing together in the choir of the First South­ern Baptist Church in Cypress, Calif., where his father is the minister. The rest of the week­end is spent with her mother in Cypress or visiting his par­ents at their home in near-by Stanton.

Nina was born in C I a y ton, New Mexico, but m 0 v e d to Stanton as a young girl. They were married in his father's church in Cypress on Decem­ber to, 1966, and spent their honeymoon in Calico G h 0 s t Town and the lively town of Las Vegas.

Prelenlly .tationed in the VX-S .dministration office a. a communication. yeoman, Tay­lor i. respon.ible for the func­tions of the communication of­fice and sees that visitors to VX-5 are properly ·identified .nd e.corted.

He has made significant con­tributions to the morale of VX-5 by his competent service on second base and in the center field of the softball diamond

for the past two seasons. Dur­ing the 1967 basketball season he played on the VX-5 basket­ball team. His recently receiv­ed orders to Saigon, Viet Nam, have not only caused conster­nation in his family, but the captains of both teams will have to attempt to replace him.

James was born in Arkadel­phia, Arkansas 22 years ago and now calls Stanton, Calif., his home town. The Taylors have been nuunied for a year and a half and have one daugh­ter, Michelle Ann. who is two months old.

Next FridlY, July 27, the Taylor family will tr.vel to B. ke .. field, where they will be the gue.t. of honor of the

The Differenre

LoveM~

By Chip II in Irvin H. Thompson

In a Korean legend a warrior killed in battle is ushered with gracious courtesy to his heavenly reward. On the way he notices a massive closed door and asks where it leads. His guide, after explaining that it is the entrance to Hell, invites him to tour the area.

Within I m ... ive room h •• "counten herd, of moaning, cursing, Itlrvlng people delperlt.ly Ind vllnly IH.mptlng ta feed them .. lv .. from tlbl.. liden with the fin .. t Ind the most Ippetizing foods. lWJ1y Ire they .tarving," h. Ilk., "when 10 much food il within reich?"

"The frustration of Hell," explains his guide, "is that each person is required to grasp his food with chopsticks five feet long. It is impossible to get the food into one's mouth."

When h. enten HMven the warrior is surprised to 1M • room id.nticil ta thlt in Hell. Tlblel Ire Iiden with food, .v.ryon. UI.. chopltlckl five feet in length, y.t everyon. II hippy, hellthy Ind well·fed. The difference il thlt elch p.rson In Heaven u_ hil chopltlckl to feed .omeone el ...

What makes the difference in this legend? LOVE. In one environment it is present, in the other it is missing.

A life with meaning requires love. Life is inadequate if lived without love. We deceive ourselves if we try to live with· out it.

A loving person recognizes the dignity Ind _rth of .Ich Individuli. Love II the hillmork of mlturity. Lov. il the lubrl· cant thlt helps to eliminlte the friction in Interpersonll rell. ti-"ips. Love reflects the beauty Ind hoIin_ of God. Lov. makes the dlfhnsn .. betwean Hllv.n Ind Hell.

Be Good to Your Feet

By "POP" LOFINCK

In the yesteryears every army in Europe had foot prob· lems. Seven percent of German Army conscripts were unfit be· cause of foot defects due to bad shoes.

In the French Army, one third of all cases of exemption from active service was from foot trouble.

NapoleOli said his soldiers won more battles with their feet than with their hands - referring to long strategic marches.

And yet - with all those infantry foot problems - the United Stites Wer Department wal the first in hiltory, II far II II known, the only on. to approoch the problem scientl· flcally.

About 1912 the War Department appointed an Army Shoe Board to study the subject. Later, about 1914, Army Surgeon Lt. Co. Edward Lyman Munson, MC, then Professor of Hygiene in the Army Medical School in Washington and an outstanding foot specialist was awarded the assignment of designing a mil· itary shoe or boot (anything over five inches high is called a boot).

Dr. Mun.on'l Ipproach to the ltudy wei scientific. Babi .. Ire bom with normal shlped feet (of coursa there Ire .x ..... tlonl like club feet, but they Ire rore). They IUPposedly stlY normal until wlrped out of Ihlpe by foolilly d .. igned shoes.

Priinitive people, and those who have gone barefooted much of the time in youth, stand and stride with feet parallel -not pointed out "V" shaped like a duck. And the big toe points atraight forward for greater propulsion in walking and to con· serve energy.

Over a four yelr criticil eXlminltion of the feet of 2,000 .oldi.rs - fiHing mlny thousandl of Ihoes - Dr. Munson .volved the ideal lhoo shipe for most feet. He d.termined thlt the Ihoe should be Inug Iround the inltep - loose Iround the"'".

This information is from Dr. Munson's book from the Army Library in the Pentagon. Title of the book - "The Soldier'S Foot and the Military Shoe."

How and why did oddly shaped shoes become the fashion? More about this in next week's column.

Andy Gilpin hit a homer with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Ace a come·from·behind, 8-7 victo· ry over E1 Ranchito. Most of the scoring came early in this one as E1 Ranchito took a 3-0 lead in the top of the fmt on Roger Short's three·run homer. Ace scored six in the bottom of the fmt, on a walk, five straight singles and a run· scoring sacrifice. Bob Brown's three·run homer in the second capped a four·run rally as the Bandidos took a 7-6 lead. Aft· er Duke Martin's single had driven home the tieing run in the fourth, Gilpin hit his fourth home run of the year to end it. Bert Andreasen went all the way to win for Ace while Bill Brown wu the loser.

Andreasen won hll 15th game of the yeor, beating MI9-ic Cilln.rs' Bobby Kochmln in I tight pitchers' du.l, l-1.

The Engineers won a pair, downing VX-5, 6-0 and out· lasting NAF 11-10 in eight in· nings to maintain their hold on second place. Bert Galloway fired a two hitter and struck out 10 in the Engineers victo· ry 0 v e r VX-5. The winners broke the game open in the third, scoring four tim e s on three hits and an outfield er· ror to take a 5-0 lead. Jim Bev· an and Denny Crager led the 14-hit Engineer attack, collect· ing three hits each while Bob Crawford and Joe Siebold chipped in with two apiece.

Too Much of A Good Thing

By ED RANCK

It is reasonable to assume that the older a person becomes the more mature his thinking will be. For instance by the time a cbild reaches the age of two, he has already acquired the knowledge that sticking your hand in the fire is an ouchy. Sooner or later he learns that the world is not his private play· pen and that greed is not an admirahle quality, at least not when everyone is aware of it.

The recent announcements that major league baseball is about to expand again tend to give you the impression that most major league owners, mentally, haven't outgrown their strollers. On the surface, expansion seems like the thing to do but it is hard to believe that baseball isn't playing with fire.

When you con.id.r the .tory of beselMlI'. hl.tory of ex· pan.ion until now you have got to concede that many of the move. have been .mut on". Th. own.n, after .11, ar. rich • nd ."",rt. Th. proof of this i. th.t none ev.r tried to make It a •• sports columnist.

Because of expansion baseball has become a truly national game. After having survived for over 70 years east of the Mis­sissippi, the game was relocated in areas that were more re­flective of today's population arrangement. Not only did ex­pansion put the game on a national basis, it also helped many of the older clubs go into the black for the first time in dec· ades. At one time baseball ownership was a rich man's hobby, but since the expansion era began many of the proprietors have grown rich from the game.

BASEBALL EXPANSION BEGINS

The expansion era did not start with the invention of the New York Mets and company. The era was born in the late SO's and was sired by Walter O'Malley, commanding general of the Dodgers. Much of the foresight that led to baseball's prosperity in the last few years has to be credited to O'Mal· ley. He introduced major league baseball on the West Coast. He was the first to build a super·stadium and after drawing over two million customers per year during the early 60's he convinced the other owners that baseball fans really didn't mind if they weren't mugged by a neighborhood gang when they left the park.

Through O'MaIl.Y' leadenhlp, besebell ownen began to realize that the geme needed ImproYl"",nt and change. The new way of thinking n.turally led to expan.ion. Expansion -'-ed the Meh, Astros, Angel. and Sen.ton on the ba_ ball world. All four club. are solvent, oparate in n_ .tedlum. and at the present time .how no .ign. of driving the ownen to the poor house.

Mter several years of prosperity by the new clubs it would seem that baseball is ready for expansion once again. However, despite the fact that all the new clubs have done well at the box office, none have been an artistic success on the field . When you consider that the four clubs have played a compos· ite total of 26 seasons since 1961, it has to be noted that they have finished over .500 less than 10 per cent of the time. Only the Angels who have accomplished the feat twice, have ever finished in the first division, and in only one year, 1967, were they rated as genuine contenders.

CLUBS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL

The four expansion clubs have probably been successful for four different reasons. The Angels have enjoyed mod· erate success In an area that loves a winner and the Astros have had the Dome. The Mets have had such comedians as Marvelous Marv Throneberry, while people in D.C. go to the games probably because the Melon Art Gallery is closed at night. Collectively the four teams are still expansion clubs In the building process, and only the Mets show signs of building a future powerhouse.

The point is that after eight years the novelty of expansion teams has probably worn thin. Because of the nature of the game it is a fact of life that an infant club will probably spend eight to ten years building a contending team. The new team in San Diego for instance, can expect a ball club that is the caliber of the Coast League Padres.

F.ced with the prospect of CIbsat-vIng their Triple A tHmo pl.ylng In the dl..,lse of a big league team, and getting cJob.

. bared in the p_, the ~blllty does exi.t that expan.1on city tH_ will be playing in .tadlum. packed with ro_ of emp­~ ... h.

The theory, of course. could be wrong. Hardened by the shock of the Meta and Astros a few years ago haaehall fans might be willing to accept almost anything. '

Warriors Win In Slow Pitch Action

The DOB's defeated Millers Maulers by a score of 13 to 3 to remain in undisputed sec· ond place. Lonie (the lip) Wincn's finest hour was to strike out the league's batting champ, Dubious Dragovich in the first inning, but Dubious came back in the third with a home run, and to add insult to injury hit a grand slam in the fifth.

This action accounted for six of the OOB'. 13 run •. In the .ixth the Maul.n went to the bullpen for their ace relief pitcher "Fireball W.lden" who responded in good form by bl.nking the opposition for the fin.1 two innings.

The Watusi Warriors eeked out a 25 to 2 victory over the Lardos. Iron Arm Davis held the Lardos to only two hit s while striking out six. The big stick for the Warriors was "Dapper" Doperpuhl who went 3 for 3 scoring twice. Wit h only a 23·run lead the War· riors had to relieve "Old Iron Arm" with "Garbage Goff' in the sixth to protect their nar· row lead.

Yankees Score Win The unbelievable Yankees

hall club won their first cham· pionship last week by d 0 in g everything wrong except one -they scored the most points.

In Wedne~.y night'. g.me, they edged 'tlie po_rful Gi­.nt. 4 to 2 f'o t.ke the fint g.m. in the .eri" of th .... Frid.y night'. game w •• some­thing else. The Gi.nh, .coring almost at will Ind in every conceivable manner, 1'Olled up • tremendous 13 to 2 .dv.nt· age by the fifth inning, .nd .ix innings i •• 11 they pl.y.

Going into the top half of the sixth, and trailing by 11 points, the Yankee managers, coaches and parents were rea· dy to take the defeat and try for victory on the third go­round.

Somebody forgot to tell the Yankee pi aye r s they were beaten. Yankee manager Bill Lalor's three eligible pitchers had already been knocked out of the box by the Giant's big guns, so he had to go with an untested l(}.year-()ld left hand· er, Steve Hartwig, who plead· ed for a chance to pitch.

Hartwig replaced the Yank· ee's third pitcher of the game, David Knight, with two ou t s and two men on base. He walk· ed Zammeron to load the ba,· es, but forced Richard Erfurt to hit a line drive to fir s t baseman Mickey Knight, who

made a fine one-handed stab catch to retire the side.

Going into the top of the sixth, with the Yankees at bat, the Yankees slowly but sure· ly whittled the Giant's 1 e a d down to 13 to 10. With the bases loaded, Yankee s h 0 r t· stop Billie Lalor hit a grand slam homer to put the Yankees ahead 14 to 13.

But in .pit. of the on. run lead, the.. w.. little loy In Y.nk .. ville, for the Giant's big .Iuggen were up. Tiny Steve H.rtwig, di.pl.ylng excellent con t r 0 I with hi. tantalizing .1_ ball, struck out the first Giant, and w.lked the second. Giant Kevin Smith doubled, and H.rtwig walked the third man to load the be .... Power· hitt.r Dwight Scott made the second out on the infield fly rule, bringing Rick Lovern to bat.

Lovern, who got the only hit off Yankee pitcher Billie Lalor in the first game, took a call· ed strike, swung and missed for the second strike. The n with a full count of three balls and two strikes, he took a mighty cut at a lobbed ball­and missed! With the bas e s loa d ed, Steve Hartwig had made his third out to retire the side and bring victory to the jubilant Yankees. As stat· ed before, the . Yankees we r e dead, but they didn't get the word.

EDITORIAL

Participation Pays Are you one of the gripers? Do you gripe about the

way the club is being run, the movies they show at the base theater, the goods offered - or not offered - for sale at the exchange and commissary? Do you gripe about the school system in your community, the opera­tion or lack of recreational facilities in your town, the rising taxes or the poor roads?

If you do gripe about things such as this - or a hun­dred and one other possibilities - that's all right. Af­ter all, everyone has a right to his individual opinion -that's one of the reasons we're in the military, to pre­serve this right of every American.

But griping alone isn't enough. If you're not offer­ing any constructive criticism or making an effort to

help improve things, you're shirking part of your re­sponsibility as a citizen.

If you don 't like the way the club is being run, try attending one of t.he board of governors' meetings and state your opinion.

If you don't approve of the school system in your community, attend one of the meetings of the school board and air your feelings and recommendations.

Community problems can be discussed at public hear­ings and through the editorial pages of your local news­papers. There are countless methods by which you can make your feelings. opinions and recommendations known when you disagree - or agree - with the way something is being done.

The important thing is that you do something other than just gripe. Don't be the guy who " doesn't want to get involved" or is content to "let somebody else do it."

Members of the military can bring a wide range of knowledge and experience to their respective communi­ties when they actively participate in community and civic affairs.

Make use of your right to present your opinions and recommendations in an orderly, logical and intelligent manner to work toward the improvement of your mili­tary and civilian community.

Participate actively and everyone will benefit. (AFPS)

Comnlunisl Counlries-n.e U.S.S.R. Editor'. Note - The follow·

ing .xc.rph .... from the De­fen.. Posture St.t.ment r. cently given before the Sen.te Armed Services Committ ...

During the (past) year . . . the fissures within the Commu· nist world have shown no signs of healing. These divisions, of course, have existed for some time, and it may be that no in· fluence short of a change of regime either in China or in the U.S.S.R. can bring abo u t the restoration of even a fa· cade of unity across the Com· munist world.

Peking'. drive in opposition to Mo. cow h.. resulted in greoter Chin ••• millt.ncy, .nd at tim.. in gr. ... , militancy in Soviet polici.. •• w.lI. On the whol., how.v.r, the .trid· ent beh.vlor of the P. kin g regime h.. coused the Sovl.t I ..... nhlp - both Khru.hchev .nd hi. .uccesson - to con· front the f.ct th.t they, too, h.ve .n interest in .t.bllity th.t h.. to be bel.need 0 If _inst continued .dh.r.nc. to • revolution.ry 1~logy.

Both strands are present in Soviet policy. The task of cre· ative statesmanship for the West will be to move Moscow further in directions that we can call constructive, while at the same time working to break down the Chinese wall which insulates Peking from all out· side influence.

Our own interests have not fared badly as a result of the divisions in the Communist world. Both the Soviet Union and Red China have suffered s e rio u s setbacks in Latin America, in South Asia, in In· donesia, and in the developing world in general, and each is devoting a large share of its energies to its dispute with the other.

P.rtly ••• r •• u I t of Mo. cow'. increasing concentration on dom •• tic .H.irs .nd p.rtly due to P.king'. d.fi.nce, the Communl.t gov.rnment. of E •• t.rn Europe h.v. be.n obi. to a .. ert increasing independ. .nce in many spheres, and we m.y hop. for the •• t.bli.h· ment of -bett.r r.l.tion. with the W .. t.

Over the long run the s e bonds may ease the defense problem for the entire NATO area; for the near future, how· ever, although Europe is com· paratively free from 0 v e r t threats or pressures, current NATO force levels will s till be required to keep it t h a ! way.

Ideologic. I luu.. Em.,g. Aside from the purely na·

tionalistic component of the Sino-Soviet dispute, a 1 a r g e

number of ideological issues have emerged, some of which are matters of indifference to the United States. Of greater concern for us is the Sino-So­viet dispute on how the "world revolution" is to be achieved.

'lbe S 0 v let leadership has demonstrated some restraint In their support for North V let Nam and in support of insur· gencies in some other areas of the world. In Latin America, for example, they apparently oppose Fidel Castro's policy of externally supported arm e d insurrection, choosing instead to compete for influence over the in dig e n 0 u s Communist parties and seeking to expand Soviet presence and relations with Latin American govern· ments. The Red Chinese lead· ers, by contrast, enthusiastical· ly endorse Castro's efforts to apply their highly touted doc· trine of upeoples' wars."

U.S.-U.S.S.R. R.I.tion. There are, of course, many

problems lying between us and the Soviets, some of them old, some of them new. Independ· ently of their disagreement with the Chinese, or perhaps because of it, the Soviet lead· ers seem to feel impelled to support Hanoi in its attempt to expand its area of control, and therefore are less willing to co­operate with the United States in other areas of policy, such as the mutual reduction of forces in Europe or in arms

control measures. It is likely that relations with the U.S.S.R. could improve if Hanoi's ago gression in Southeast Asia were terminated.

In the meantime we m U I t .imultlneously do our best to pr •• erve the constructive I'­pects of our r.l.tion.hip with Moscow, Ind to guard Ig.inlt counting on improvement. be­for. th.y occur.

Conflict Ind Coop.rltion The past year has seen in·

creased Soviet assistance to North Viet Nam, but if it has bought Moscow any significant political leverage, it has not been used to move Hanoi tow· ard a negotiated settlement of the Viet Nam conflict. Instead, its support has done much to sustain Hanoi's aggression.

Similarly, extensive Soviet military assistance to the Arab states was not only unaccom· panied by any effort to steer them away from their reckless confrontation with Is rae 1 in May 1967, but in addition there is evidence that in the early stages Soviet reports on alleg· ed Israeli intentions he 1 p e d trigger the crisis. Thus the So­viet Government must carry a major share of the responsibll· ity for triggering the short but explosive war which followed, and subsequently for making more difficult the achievement of a Middle Eastern settle· ment.

At the same time, Moscow's record over the last half-doz· en years includes:

Its initiative to bring abot/t peace between Indian and Pak· istan in 1965;

Its generally constructive be· havior during the Laotian cris· is;

Its stance on the Sino-Indian border dispute.

The Soviet leaders have also been willing to incur the sus· tained invective of the Chinese in their negotiations with us for an agreement to halt the pro­liferation of nuclear weapons.

'lbese are only a few sam· pIes, but they serve to point up the mixture of conflict and cooperation in the U.S.S.R.'s relations with the non . Com· munist world.
