The p roblcm of combustion in­stability, which has been a plague to rocket designers for twcnty ycars, results from a tendency for rocket propellants to burn. with pulsating flames in the' rocket motor.

'1'h is behavior may result in vio­lent pressure oscilla tions in the rocket motor, with resulting erratic propulsion performance.

The Role of the Government Lab By Fra:nk Fulton., Prolmlsioll Del"elopment Dept. Bead

I would like to talk about the role of e government laboratory-not necessarily the role of NOTS-past; presen~ and future. I think the im· funds for the artistic work he did. portance of bringing up the past is The key point,. I think, is that one of trying to- put things to a where there was a surplus of funds degree in a context as they have to support creativo effort, as prior evolved behind us, And from thi.'i to and during the Renaissance, I think one can do a bit of extra- these funds were devoted either to

pola tion as to where they might {;volve in the future.

Now the govel·nmcnt laboratory as we conceive it today (and as we probably shall for at Jeast a brief period of time) is primarily focused on the utilization of physi· cal sciences. There has been a strong common bond betwcen tho application of phys ical science and military operations down through the ages. Indeed, the closeness of the two is most amazing when you s top and go back into history.

Undoubtedly the first applied scientists - primitive individuals - first devoted their creative ef­forts to items which were in fair part articles of war. At least the archeologists have found weapons - spea rs, knives, clubs, bows and Il M'OWS buried with Ute bodies of primitive man.

So primitive man to survivc and defend himself against his enemies a pplied science to the art of war­fare which has continued down through. the ages.

'Station Scientists Eligible for INavy's New Science Award

Station scientists who are re40 sponsible for pioneering scientifio achievements of an extraordinary. a nd significant nature which ·eon .. t ain a potential of far reaching con­sequence, will be eligible for a new .. Iy·established award by the Navy' Department.

''The new "Distinguished Achieve_ ment in Science Award" will con­sist of an appropriately designed medal, a lapel emblem, & certifi .. cate, and a cash award of not less than $5,000.

There is no limit on the number of awards which may be granted, but the exacting criteria which must be met is expected to llmit tho number of awards made.

Basic characteristics of achieve­ments qualifying for the award arc:

• A pioneering Bcientific achieve .. ment of such magnitltude as ·to bo r ecognized within a scientific com­munity as opening ' 'the way 't o ex:' ploratlon of previously unexplored ') fields. '" )

• Sclentiiic ~ a..el).ievcment. _'Of a '~ nature which . e&tablishes an im- , portant scientific principle, - form. ­ula or doctorine. - . '

• A scientific achievement of ex .. traordinary importance and value to t he nation and to the world . which: is recognized as s ignificantly bey.ond normal expectations.

Commanding Officers of field liC'- . Uvitics have been requested to for. ward proposed nominations f.or the , new award to their management 1

BuWeps Inspects Project Facilities In Orientation

Twenty-four top military and civilian personnel of BuWeps toured the Station Wednesday for a first-hand . look at its operetions and projects. The visitors arrived et 10 p.m., Tuesday, end begen their tour of the Ste­tion's facilities Wednesday morning.

Prior to the tour the group met t;i.t Mich Lab for a formal welcome by Station Commander Capt. W. W, Hollister who outlined the com­munity aspects of NOTS. F ollowing the welcome the visitors viewed the NOTS film "E xpanding Frontiers of Ordnance" and received 'brief­ings by the Station's Assoc. Tech­nical 'Director H . G. -Wilson and Executive Officer Jolin A. Quensc.

Purpose of the visit was to acquaint key BuWeps ~ personnel, who have cognizance ·of project:;! assigned to the ·Station, -with ~our facilities and our method".20f· qper'8-tion, and projects cl!~rentJy un.'der­way. '

Because of the classi· fied nature of his subject matter it cnn be only be r eported tha t he did indicate that much work was being done in improving existing weapons- as he termed It ... to put out brush fires .. . because ef­fective weapons for limited war­fare arc assuming more importance.

Also, that constant research is in progress for improvement of bomb director and fire control systems, as well as for free·fall ordnance items.

He indicated that a continUing research program in the underwater ordnance field was being carried out. Improvement was being sought for existing torpedos . . . Also, studies of porpoises and fish loco­motion were being made.

Quense Outlines Project l\fanagement

"We arc happy to be able to take advantage of your visit to our in­stallation - for we are colleagues in the same endeavor - because our mutual mission is to serve the Fleet, the Navy, and the nation's defense goals," Quense told the BuWeps visitors .

"We welcome this opportunity to become better acquainted with you and your problems .and you with us and our problems." he said. "P ersonal contact with individuals most always leads to mutual under­'3tanding," he continued.

"NOTS is probably the only la·

bora tory within , the Navy Shore Establishment which nas such a "" ide variety of capa.bilities an<t faci lities with which to carry out an integrated role on such a "Wide variety of weapons ana weapons systems," he stated.

"But the thing that 1s 'really im­portant is the people-power in our organization - the depth and scope -oC education and experience, tbe·at_'"' tltudes and management skills that aceount for our productive suc­ccs.s." Quense e~phasiaed.

On conclusion of the tour the visi­tors were driven to NAF where t hey boarded t heir R5D to fly to Ft. Mugu, where they will tour the Pacific Missile Range and Vanden­berg Air Force Base.

'Everyman' Nears Stage of Readiness

Dress rehearsals are underway for the colorful, religious play "The Summoning of Everyman" to be presented by the China Lake Players at 8:15 p.m. Sunday, March 19, in the All-Faith Chapel.

"Everyman," an English morality play which was performed in the cathedrals of England in medieval times, was first written in the early 16th century. It tells the story of a rich young man who is visited by Death and told that this is the day he must die. The action of the play concerns Everyman's search for someone who will accompany him on his journey.

The actors will be dressed in glowing, colorful medieval costumes and speak verse lines which are beautiful and flowing in them­~elves, but perfectly understand­able to modern audiences.

"The play is so old that it is quite modern in spirit," says the director, Mary C. Wickenden, "fo~ the actors represent some quality or human characteristic, such as ('rOod Deeds, Evil, Discretion, or Strength. This reflects the trend in our most modern plays where the characters no longer represent a real person, but some twist, com­pulsion, or facet of society."

to 9 p.m. The last Science Fair of the year

will take place in Fresno, April 10-14, and will be open to the pub­lic on Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13.

White Toy Poodle And a TV Show Equals Happiness

"Happy but hectic" is how Dick Flanders of P8054 describes his household these days. "It's all to a white toy french poodle a television show," he says.

due and

It all goes back several months to the time the family pet was hit by a car. Ricky 9, Cynthia 6, a nd Janice 5 were soon begging for another pet. When told they could only have a small house dog such as a toy poodle, they began to have their allowance toward the day when they could buy one.

But powers were at work be­hind the scene. A neighbor had written of the children's plight to the television program "It Could Be You," which called to ask if the children could be brought to the show.

The big day was February 20 and you've never seen three more surprised children than they, r e­ports Dick, when caUed up on the stage to receive their new pet.

T eams participating in the League this year were NOTS Pasa­dena, P asadena Fire A Team, Lin­caps, Lile and Company, Trinity Assembly, Holly-General, Imman­uei Baptist, and Stuart Company.

League plaY-Offs, with the four highest teams competing, brought: NOTS a 62-53 win over Lile a nd Company. After Lincaps had beaten Stuart, NOTS took them on for a 49-38 win to take the Cham· pionship.

Special honors go to Pasadena's Bob Matthews who kept up a high­scoring average throughout league play.

Others on the NOTS team include Don Brooks, Ray Brooks, John Grove, Lee Haynes, Art Kuhn, John Martin, T om McKinney, Don Ro­binson, Rod Rotter, and Harold Vickroy.
