During the long airplane ride home, the s p e c i men s he brought back rode in a styro­foam picnic cooler beside his seat. It is Tiemann's hope to raise the progeny of his cap­tured worms in a controlled en­vironment in a room of his home.

Prior to Tiemann's scientific expedition into Brazil, only 13 live specimens of the Phrixo­thrix were known to have been brought to the United States for scientific observation. By the end of his search, Tiemann eventually collected 280 rail­road worms. Most were found, unlit, by pat i e n t searching, night after night, of the grass and earth.

Tiemann gave specimens to Dr. John Buck and Dr. Thomas Hopkins, of the National lnsti­tue of Health, Bethesda, Mary­land, and to Dr. Howard Sel­iger, of the Johns Hopkins Uni­versity, in Baltimore.

Alaskan Shipmates Enioy Tour Of NWC

Approximately 40 boys re­presenting three Alaskan Navy League Councils-Kodiak, An­chorage and Fairbanks-arriv­ed on the Center yesterday as part of a grand tour which will include other Navy and Marine lnstallations in the Southern California area. The young nor­therners are participating in the fifth annual Alaskan Ship­mate Air Cruise.

The Shipmate program, ori­ginally known as the "Buddy" program, is administered by the Chairman of the Shipmate program for the Navy League. The object is to acquaint young men with the opportunities that are provided them by the Navy and Marine Corps.

The program is dependent upon the ingenuity of local Councils of the Navy League and nourished by the coopera­tion of the United States Navy. It is desigued to provide young men between the ages of 14 and 18 a chance' to actually see the men of the Navy and Ma­rine Corps at work.

While on the Center, the boys will be quartered at the BOQ and will be seen at various locations about NWC until to­morrow when they depart.

This morning, they ate break­fast at the Enlisted Mens' Mess and were taken on a tour of Michelson Laboratory where they were welcomed by Capt. H. D. Parode, USN, NWC As­sistant Technical Officer.

They were also taken to witness some actual weapons testing by the pilots of VX-5.

This afternoon they will tour the Maturango Museum and the NWC Weapons Exhibit Cen­ter.

This evening th.y will be t .. ated to a picnic and a _im at the NAF pool by the Indion Wells Volley Council of

the Navy Leagu., and th.y will b. the honored gu.sts at the Youth Cent.r dance which will be h.ld this .v.ning at the Community C.nt.r.

The boys will depart from the Naval Air Facility tomor­row to continue on their Air Cruise.

Time Running Out FOf WWII GI Loan Benefits

Time is runnin'g out for about' 2,140,000 World War II veterans who have not used their G.I. loan guaranty bene­fits. The final cut-off date for World War II loans is July 25, 1970.

Loan guaranty benefits are governed by individual expira­tion dates, based on dates of military service and length of service. However, there is an over·all July 25 loan guaranty deadline. The July 25 dead­line does not affect eligibility for loans established by mili­tary service since 1955.

Veterans who do not know their expiration dates should get in touch with the nearest VA office. They should have with them discharge or separa­tion papers.

Veterans who know their loan guaranty terminal dates, but whose loan applications cannot be submitted to {he VA befor~ the deadline, should have their lenders write or tele­phone their V A offices to ex­plain the problem.

Under the loan program, the V A guarantees up· to 60 per cent (not to exceed $12,500) of the outstanding balance on home loans for veterans .

In tbe play Aristophane's uses the birds by tbe appear· ance of two men seeking to es· cape the stress of Athenian so· ciety.

The play was chosen because of its relevance to tbe present, and because of its great humor.

One Game Separates Four Softball Teams

Meet Steve Whitrok and Pete Klassen, two pitchers who al· most singlehandedly have car· ried their teams to the top of the China Lake Softball League standings and who rank high themselves in considpratjo., for June's Athlete of the Month award.

Whitrok pitched the NAF Hawks into a tie for first with a 13-3 win Monday over VX-5 after stopping Union 76, 3-1, on a four·hitter .Tune 17.

Staked to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first on leadoff hitter Danny Fuller's single and Jim Sebastian's home run, Whitrok held the 76ers score· less un til the seventh when Dave Taylor's single, a ground out, and Bob Hooper's single produced Union's only run.

VX-5 jumped to a 3-2 lead after t h r e e innings Monday night, but Whitrok held the Vampires to three singles while the Hawk hit t e r s pounded three VX-5 pitchers for 11 runs to end the game at the end of five innings.

If possible, Klassen was even more outstanding. He pitched 21 innings and won two games, including a 10-0 shutout over Ace TV and a 4-3 win over Union 76 in 12 innings.

Triangle started the week by defeating VX-5 in a slugfest, 10-8. Triangle took a 1-0 lead in the first but fell behind, 3·1, in the top of the third on sin· gles by VX-5's Dick Simpson, Tiny Brinson, and Bill Fernow and a run·scoring error.

Triangle had a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the third, before VX-5 went back in front, 54, in the fourth. Singles by Fer· now and Bob D i x 0 n and a homer by Rusty Draper made it 84 after the fifth.

However, in the bottom of the fifth Triangle's Carson and Martin hit back·to·back homers to cut the Vampire's lead. Tri· angle scored four more as Car· son's homer with Andy Gilpin aboard won the game.

KI a ss e n was on the next night and stopped Ace on three singles and a walk. Triangle hitters did the rest. Jimmy Ayers went 3·for4, Roger Short 2-for-3 and a homer, and Fran· ich 1-for-3 with a home run.

T ria n g I e ran its winning streak to three as Klassen best· ed Bert Andreason in a fierce pitching duel in Monday's early game. The teams were tied 1-1 at the end of seven innings, but Triangle took a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth on Short's run·scoring double.

Union started a rally of its own in the bottom of the in· ning. Crowe led off with a single and Bob Kochman fol· lowed with a double to left, but Carson's throw from the fence nailed Crowe at the plate to save a run. Andreason then stroked a triple to center to tie the game. He was thrown out at the plate one play later when he tried to score on Ayer's grounder to third.

Triangle finally scored the deciding run on Ayer's single, Drex Moulder's sacrifice, and Dennis Crager's single. Klas· sen then shut Union down in the bottom of the 12th to earn the victory.

In the week's 0 n I yother game, EI Ranchito pounded hapless VX-5, 21-8, in six in· nings. Clodt homered, doubled and walked to lead EI Ranch· ito, while Tom Haus paced the Va m pi res with a three·run homer.

Annuity Increase Available For July 31 Retirees

Information fro m the U.S. Civil Service Commission indio cates that a costo(}f·living ad· justment of Civil Service an· nuities amounting to 5.6% will take effect August 1, 1970 for employees retiring on or be· fore July 31.

The Civil Service Retirement Law provides for an automatic increase of Civil Service annu· ities whenever the cost of liv· ing, nationwide, goes up by at least three percent over the Comsumer Price Index (Cpn for the month used as the base for three consecutive months.

ROCKETEER

The present base month is August 1969. March 1970 was the first month since August 1969 that the percentage in· crease in the Consumer Price Index equaled at least three percent over August 1969. The percentage increase was 3.5% in March, 4.1% in April, and 4.6% in May.

According to law, annuities are increased by tbe highest percentage increase in the Con· sumer Price Index during the three·month period plus an ad· ditional one percent authorized by law.

EEO WORKSHOP-Gertrvde Bre_r .nd J. R. Arrendondo of the Corona Annex dis­cuss equal opportunity problems with Anne Hoy (standing), who conducted are c e n t three-day workshop on the subject. Mrs.

Hay is a rep ..... nt.tlve of the San Francisco office of the Civil Service Commission. The workshop is pert of the Center's supervis· ory development program.

Employees desiring to retire on or before July 31, 1970 in order to take advantage of the increase in annuities should contact their department's Per· sonnel Management Advisor to arrange for retirement counsel· ing.

lub Chaparral To Close Sundays

According to a memorandum from Hank Walker, manager of the Club Chaparral, the club will close on Sunday, effective June 28, until further notice.

In addition, Walker stated that the Club Chaparral will close on July 4 to allow the employees of the Club to cele· brate the holidays with their families.

New County Ordinance Restricts Fireworks Use

A new Kern County ordinance relative to personal fire­works will be enforced by the Naval Weapons Center, ac­cording to a NA VWPNSCEN Notice. Las' September, the County passed an ordinance which adopted the California Uniform Fire Code. This Code, as adopted, prohibits the storage, use, or explosion of any fireworks by individuals. Public displays properly authorized by Kern County are permitted.

No fireworks (this includes sparklers) except paper capi are permitted. The Kern County Fire Marshal reports that most fir __ s attributable to fireworks are started by spark­lers. This notice is published at this time to prevent wasted expenditures on what is now an unlawful commodity. Viola· tions of County Ordinances are punishable under law. Res· idents are asked to please comply and avoid embarrassment.

Degreasing Agent Wins Beneficial Suggestion Award

A suggestion for insuring clean, positive electrical con· tacts on the multi·pin, plug·in connectors used in Navy mis· siles, earned a check for $100 for Robert S. Scott, electronics technician at the Naval Wea· pons Center Corona Annex.

Use of Freon TF, a de·greas· ing agent was the suggestion. Packed in an aerosol can, it is sprayed with sufficient pres· sure to penetrate the minute sockets and fine pins, flushing out dust, oil, and other corro· sion deposits that can cause failures in the multiple con· nectors.

These connectors sometimes have as many as 100 pins and sockets, some of which carry very small signals. It is impera· tive that the connections be clean and sure. The inert Freon solvent is ideal for the job. It is non-conductive, evaporates quickly, can be stored easily, and is readily available.

The idea for adapting the fluid to this use came to Scott when he was in Guantanamo Bay last August on a missile testing mission.

The blowing dust and high oxidation, complicated by leak· ing hydraulic oil, caused him to think there must be a bet· ter method of cleaning these electrical connectors.

The check and a certificate were presented to him by W. F. Vizard, of Fuze Development Division I. Scott's Branch Head, K. J. Calderwood, Pro j e c t Branch II, approved.
