Supersonic Flights Will Cause 800ms
Capt. Charles Blenman has announced that a series of tests wilJ ,soon be conducted which involve aircraft flying at supersonic airspeeds over NOTS test ranges. Associated with supersonic flight is the "sonic boom," occurring when a shock wave of intense pressure, created by the aircraft traveling at the speed of sound, strikes a dense surface such as the ground. Sonic booms, though rough on the nerves, are no r eal th reat t o the basic structure of your home.
Local appearance Tuesday night.
'A Session With Laughton'
The tests, an essential part of the NOTS mission, will be conducted over the ranges so that the actual shock waves will strike the surface in uninhabited areas; however, it is anticipated that the sonic booms will be audible to local residents. Operations will be carried out so that an absolute minimum of in~
convenience should occur.

Capt. Blenman Says
NOTS Adds Gr.ea.ly To Kern Coun'y' 5 Economy,
The economic impact on Kern County of NOTS and the community of China Lake was described by Captain Charles Blenman, Jr., Station Commander, at the Kern County Business Outlook Conference held in Bakersfield Wednesday.
Capt. Blenman related that NOTS is not only one of K ern County's largest employers, but is also the largest source of military fun d s spent in the County, At the same time, the community of China Lake with its 12,000 persons is a unique community dependent on outside sources for most of its services and goods.
Many significant facts were provided as part of a description of NOTS growth from an almost barren stretch of desert land in the northeast corner of K ern in 1943 t o what is now the Navy's largest weapon research and development facility. Since its establishment, the investment in facilities, equipmen t, and instrumentation has added up to over $300,000,000. Of this, the investment in housing bas been $45,258,322, including the contract cost of $8,183,794 for 500 units ~ow under construction.
Ridgecrest Benefits The Kern County community to
feel most of the impact of NOTS on its economy was Ridgecrest. In 1939, when the first store was erected in Ridgecrest, there were only 15 homes. Today, there are some 300 business establishments and more than 3000 homes and apartment units.
Capt. Blenman stated that the Station expenditures in Kern County for material, equipment, and services average more than $430,ODO monthly. Added to the effect of direct Navy .purchases, is the impact of purchases made by NOTS employees. The off-Station spend-
able income of persons working at NOTS, China L ake, is about $2,. 300,000 monthly.
It was pointed out that the Sta .. tion's budget has increased in re" cent year s. It was, for example, $68.9 million in fiscal year 1959 and $82 million in 1962. I n a typical year, 17 per cent of the budget goes to private industry in the form of negotiated contracts.
Contracts Awarded Capt. Blenman noted an increased
interest by Kern County business in providing services and goods to the Station, as typified by a recent contract to a Bakersfield firm for $784,585 for expansion of the Station's water supply system. Also within the past few weeks, Bakersfield business firms were awarded nearly $200,000 in blanket purchase orders f rom NOTS. In recent years, fifteen blanket purchase 0 r d e r S
have been awarded to Bakersfield firms.
A number of steps being taken by NOTS to improve community life in northeast Kern were outlined by Capt. Blenman. He announced that planning has been started on an Indian W elts Valley Museum which will probably be housed on the Station during the formative period, but may very well be moved offStation should County facilities be made available at a later date.
Important Role The Station h as also played an
important part in arrangements which it is hoped will bring about the transfer of 106 acres adjacent to Ridgecrest to the County for civic, cultural, and r ec reation pur .. poses.
On stage since 1926, Laughton has demonstrated the greatest versatility of any English-speaking actor. H e has played Shakespeare, drama, drawing room comedy, Shaw, murder mystery, and fantasy.
H is film career began in 1929 i n England and extends to the present spectacular "Spart.:'l.cus." During these years he has played fortyeight major roles. In 1936 he received a great distinction when he was asked to appear with the Comedie Francaise; receiving critical kudos for his beautiful French as well as his acting.
promise of Mary Costa we look forward to the accomplishment, intelligence, and fame of Charles Laughton to demonstrate to concert patrons the range of the human voice and variety of artistic talent."
AOD Sends 'Looney Bird' As part of the same desire to
improve community life and services in Indian Wells Valley, the Station is currently seeking $25,000 for use in fiscal year 1963 to construct a new and more convenient entranceway from Ridgecrest at thp southern end of the Station.

Hayward To Command Firs. U. S. Nuclear Force
A request for help by Arthur Fszol and J e rry Young of the Naval Parachute Facility brought a prompt response from the Station. A local call by AOD to Jesse Bell of Supply's Traffic Division s tarted the wheels rolling, and within 45 hours the Looney Bird was at EI Centro.
The Navy has named VAdm. J. T. (Chick) Hayward, former NOTS Experimental Officer 0944-47>, to command a new task force expected to develop eventually into the world 's first nuclear· powered flotilla, according to a United Press-
VAdm. J. T. Hayward
International news rclease fro m Washington, D. C., last Friday.
Flagship of the unit will be the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, commanded by another former NOTS officer, Capt. Vincent P. dePoix. He was assigned to the Station as a project pilot trom 1947 to 1949.
The 85,OOO·ton Enterprise, boasting a flight deck of 4 ¥.: acres is now nearing fleet readiness.
The release stated that Hayward will undergo a reduction in rank from vice admiral to rear admiral Lo take over the new seagoing unit. It a lso said the 53·year ·old officer may be on a path that in time could take him to the top of the Navy.
According to the release the Navy disclosed that VAdm. William F . Rayborn Jr., who developed the Polaris missile, will succeed Hayward as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Development.
,Admiral Raborn supervised the vast program which brought Polaris missiles and the missile-launching nuclear-powered submarines into the fleet in a brief three years.

When NPL mounts its cameras on the Looney Bird, its role will be to track the free fall time, opening and descent of parachute ordnance items dropped from high speed aircraft.
The Looney Bird, not to be confused with the earlier M-45 Gooney Bird camera mounts, is a more recent AOD-developed mount which is operated hydraulically as OpP03-ed to the electro· mechanical drive of the Gooney mount.
Morley Developed Carl Morley, under the direction
of Rod McClung, was project engineer for construction of the new mount. A Burroughs graduate, IClass of '49, Morley joined AOD .two years ago, following three years as a summer employee at NOTS while attending Arizona State College at Tempe.
Morley used a. surplus B·29 main wheel and nose cone assembly in his construction which provides excellent support for the heavy camera lens systems. The hydraulic drive was obtained without cost
from surplus P2V aircraft. A new departure in construction was Morley's utilization of magnesium materi als.
The Looney Bird's tracking rates v.ary smoothly from 6 minutes to 45 degrees of arc per second. Electronics instruments for time·data recordings are carried inside of the

Capt. Blenman expressed confidence that all of these Station actions plus the increasing interest and cooperation of Co u n t y and community leaders add up to an encouraging outlook for community and business progress in northeast Kern County. ,

'Operation Big Heart' By Chaplain Uobert; C. F enning
If generosity h as a nything to do with the level of a community's cha racter, what happened in our midst t his past Christmas should g ive us r eason t o be encou raged. W e do not wish to invite feelin gs of self-righteousness, but this story deserves to be told.
It is a dramatic account of sel fless cooperation. It did not begin this year; wha t took place was the culmination of custom over a pe riod of years . But to one wh o is new in the a rea, its was an extraordinary d isplay of charity, and the m ost startling aspect ot aU is that it came about without an appeal or solicitation of any kind.
About two week s before ' Christmas, groceries and ca$h gifts began to r each the Chaplain's office to b e d istributed to needy families. By the even ing of the 23rd, the E ast Wing of the Chapel took on the appearance of a superma rket. To someone who may not have known wha t was going on, it might h ave appearcd tha t we were about to open up a business venture In competition with the Commissary Store a cross the way.
Items came In trom Scout troops, Yieweg and Burroughs Schools, the R ug Club, the Rockhounds, Navy W ives Club, vx",S, NAF, CPO Wives Club, Girl . Scouts, Brownies, Cub Scouts and others. Cash gifts ca me from a nonymous donors, Sta tion R estaura nts, the Pro a t t heGolf Club, Weapons D evelopment Dept, the "Inhibiting Group," the R N Club, Cub Scout Pack 412 (who sold pine cones they had ga thered and decorated), Code 35, a Navy Nurse, and others.
It is estima t ed that over $800 worth of grocer ies were dis tri but€'d, and cash presents of about $400.00 were made to 44 a dults an d 75 child ren, who would otherwise not have had a very bright Christmas.
The Chapla in's Office staff was very busy, but he re again the p roblem of determining ways and m eans of distribution was solved t hrough the volunta ry cooperation of many individ uals and groups. M rs. Ma ryland R ogers ot the Na vy Wives Club, Mrs. Tina Donaldson of F amily E mergen cy R elief, }':lrs. Allan of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, t he Vete rans orga nizations, and others were invaluable in providing informa tion a nd assistance .
T h is same spirit of good will extended to t he decoration of t he C hapel grounds. Joe F ox of R idgecrest donated the towering t ree that was erected on the Chapel grounds by Public Works and was decor a ted w ith lights furn ish ed by the Community Center. "P op" Lofinck and a .few Ma rines deliver ed the tree.
One h ears a grea t dea l about communi'Y problems, and often there is rio tendency t o assess these aga in st a. backdrop of gloom and doom. This story dese rves to be remembered and chalked up to the credit side.
