Request approved to have Wherry homes declared excess

The Subcommittee on Military In· stallatlons and Facilities of the House Armed Services Committee, chaired by Representative Richard H. Ichord of Missouri, recently approved the Navy's action to excess 600 WIlts of Wherry Housing located on 123.6 acres of land at the Naval Weapons Center.

This Congressional action clears the way for the Navy to pass the action to the General Services Administration for actual disposal.

The committee hearing was an open session held just prior to the adjoununent of the Congress for a swmner recess.

This affirmative action by the S~ committee was commWllcaled directly to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, who then forwarded it to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Washington, D.C., in a letter from Melvin Price, chairman of the House Anned Services Committee.

The approval Is now in transit to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command's Western Division offices located in San Bruno, Calif. That office will then transmit the package describing the property to be excessed to the General Services Ad­ministration for the actual administration of the sale of NWC's Wherry housing to the public.

Wormal estimates indicated that it will take about one month for the GSA to ac­tually receive written notification of the formal Congressional approval.

Charting movement of air pollutants by balloon flight proves to be successful

A very good flight that accomplished most of its objectives was the S\DI1lD8t1on given recently by Jimmie Craig, an NWC employee who has had extensive ezperience in piloting balloons, regarding the latest Da Vinci IT manned, scientific balloon fligIftf"

Craig, program manager of the Weapons Department's Swimmer Vehicle Program, was the pilot for what was tbe second in the Projed Da Vinci series of flights that are being undertaken in order to probe and chart the movement of air pollutants emanating from a major American city.

ThIs Is a joint project of the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), the National Oceanic and At· mospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The balloon, which Is 70 ft. high and 70 ft. in diameter, carried aloft four crew members who rode in a 10 ft. square gon­dola that was suspended 70 ft. below the balloon itself. In addition to Craig, the crew members were Dr. Rudolf J . Engelmann of NOAA, who conceived the total scientific program for the flights; Vera Simons, the co-pilot, who originated the idea for Projed Da Vinci and is an ezperlenced balloonist, artist and inventor, and otis Imboden, a National Geographic Society photographer.

In a best two out of tbree-«ame playoff series, tile Reds captured tile CbIna LaIre Uttle League's Farm Division cham­pionship on Wemesday nigbt by winning game No.2 by a \andslIde score of 17-8. The ctivision champs outblt their opponents I",.

The playoff was necessary since tbe Reds had tbe best won-loss record for tbe first half of tbe season, and tbe Cubs were tile second half champs.

In tbe first playofi game on Monday night, tbe Reds staged a f>.run rally in tbe last of the sixth and final inning to edge tbe Cubs by a finalllCOre of 8-7.

Matt Read, third baseman, drove in the gam~wInning run with one of five hits that were racked up in the final frame by-tbe Reds.

Under the Farm Qivlsion playoff rules, no pitcher can be on the mOWld for more than six innings in tbe entire playoff series. For this reason, the Reds used three pitchers -Zan Mendonca, James Evans and Scott Van Doran - for two innings each in Monday night's game.

For the Cubs, Jamie Johnaen pitched three innings, allowing just one hit and one run during his stint on tbe mound.

Results at tbe end of tile second half of regu\ar season play were as follows:

CHAMPUS switches -to new base figures for computing costs

The Civilian Health and Mectical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) baa switched to new base figID'es for computing tbe government's share of bealth costs, and it may mean more money for eligible beneficiaries.

Effective July I, dvlllan bealth care costs for 1975 will be used to determine tile "reasonable cbarge" for services. "Reasonable charge" is obtained by taking tbe lowest of tbe following charges: actual amount billed, tile usual amount a doctor or boapItal charges for tile .-rice or tbe prevailing charge (usual charge of all providers in a geographic area).

Since usual and prevailing charges are based m actual bills recorded during tile previous year, switching to 1975 figID'es sbould refiect cost increases and, in mOtlt cases, will increase tbe amount tile government pays.

In a related change, CHAMPUS officials announced that "reasonable charges" jor maternity care claims now will be based on the 1975 fig1D'e8 or on tbe amount allowed Dec. 31, 1975, whichever is ~ter. The move is expected to ease tile financial burden for beneficiaries.

When President Woodrow Wilson dedicated a monument to Barry over a hundred years later he praised Barry as a man "whose heart crossed the Atlantic with him" for Barry had been an immigrant from County Wexford in Ireland as a young man.

lajor contribution made br la'r to eHorts to lain ener,r independence

On the eve of this natloo's 200th birthday ceIebratloo, the Navy made a major c0n­

tribution to national efforts to achieve energy independence with the start-up of production at the Naval Petrolewn Reserve No.1, Elk Hills, Calif.

In brief ceremonies at shallow well No. 53-46, the Honorable Jack L. Bowers, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Installatloo and Logistics, assisted by officials of the oil companies who have purchased the crude oil and gas products and J. R. Grey, president of the Standard Oil Co. of California, the Navy's partner in the Elk Hills operation, started the engines and threw the clutch which put the well in operatloo.

011 Slarts Flowing

The well, painted red, white and blue for the occasion, immediately responded with the first crude taken from the Elk Hills Naval Petrolewn Reserves culminating an intense start-up operatloo which required that the field be placed in service within 90 days of the signing 01. the Naval Petroletun Reserve Production Act of 1976 on April 5, by President Gerald Ford.

Prior to the offictal ceremonies, Bowers hosted a reception and luncheon for government, industry and Navy officials who were either involved in the legis\atlve process for opening Elk Hills or have a continuing responsibility for its operatloo. Among those in attendance were Congressman William M. Ketchum, Assemblyman Bill Thomas, LeRoy Jackson, chairman of the Kern County Board of Supervisors, Kern County Sheriff Al Lousta1ot, and Rear Admiral R. G. Freeman m, NWC Commander.

In addltloo to Grey, Standard 011 of

Date changed for visit of Social Security rep.

Regular montb1y visits to China Lake by the Socia\ Security representative for this area have been rescheduled to the fourth Thursday of the month, instead of the first Wednesday of the month as was customary in the past.

According to Mrs. Ann Renfro, resident representative in Ridgecrest, the reason for the change is that there is now a Social Security office at 337 W. Ridgecrest Blvd. which is open Monday through Wednesday of each week, from 9 a.m. to3:30p.m.

Mrs. Renfrp's nen visit to the China Lake Community Center is slated 00 Thursday, July 22. Persons wishing to apply for a Social Security nwnber or obtain In­formation about SociaI Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income claims can do so between 9 and 11:30 a.m.

California was represented by R. F. Schlecht, assistant to the chairman of the board and D. T. Magee, vice-president and general manager, and several other of­ficials of the company.

John Hathaway, president of Williams Brothers Engineering Co., the contractor to the Navy at Elk Hills for day-to-day operations, and nwnerous dignitaries of the oil companies that have purchased the crude oil and gas products to be pwnped from Elk Hills were also present.

Represenlatives of .... vy Representing the Navy were Capt.

George Dowd, JAGC, Director of the Navy Petroletun and Oil Shale Reserves Office; Capt. C. M. Howe, CEC, Commanding Officer of the Western Division of the Naval Facilities EngIneering Colllllllllid, and Cdr. Roger MartIn, Officer-ilH:harge of the Naval Petrolewn Reserve.

The ceremonial activation of NPR Well No. 53-46 triggered productloo from about 165 wells at the combined rate of ahout 34,000 barrels of oil per day.

This rate will increase to more than 100,000 barrels a day when the Elk Hills operation has been open for one year, and will eventually exceed 300,000 by the end of the '70s when reserve development has been completed and off-reserve pipelines have been installed to handle peak production.

The well that Bowers plllced in production was completed in Aprll 1945, exactly 31 years before President Ford signed the law placing Elk Hills in service. The well commenced pumping moments after Bowers cut a ribbon and threw a switch starting the pump motor.

Deliveries Bogan Promptly Within a few days, deliveries of crude and

naturaI gas liquid products began to pur­chasers of the Government's share of productloo .(about 80 per cent) with the remainder delivered to Standard Oil of California as owner of private holdings within the Elk Hills Reserve which existed when the reserve ",88 estab\isbed by Presidential executive order in 1912.

The full development program for Elk Hills is proceeding at a pace of $8 to $9 million dollars per month. Nine rigs are currently drilling, with several more slated to move in within the near future.

A nearby exploratory rig drilling Well No. 954-46, which was inspected following the ceremony, is drilling to basement rock, a total depth of about 20,000 ft. This is some 8,000 ft. deeper than the previous maximwn depth achieved at Elk Hills. New discoveries at these deeper levels would add to the presently known 1.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil reserves.

are doing in regard to resolving position management problems, and their recom­mendations on what further steps need to be taken.

The foregoing is in compliance with a memorandwn from President Gerald Ford that was sent this past May 'n to the heads of Federal departments and agencies.

In this memo it was noted that over the past two decades there has been a gradual, but substantial, rise in the average grade of GS employees. While it was acknowledged that much of this rise is due to the fact that technological changes and other factors have brought about significant shifts in the makeup of the Federal workforce, the memo also stated, in part:

System Review Necessary

"We cannot assume, however I that this is the whole explanation. Recent review by the Ci.vil Service Commission, the General Accounting Office and the Office of Management and Budget indicate that classification and position management systems are not functioning as effectively as they should in a nwnber of Federal agencies."

The memo from President Ford con­cluded by caIling upon the heads of all Federal departments and agencies "to re­examine your internal position man· agement and classification systems to ensure they are operating effectively and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. "

Agency heads were instructed to conduct this review in a manner prescribed by the Civil Service Commission and to report to the Commission both the actions they have taken and the results of those actions.

Placement exams slated at Cerro Coso College

Placement examinatioo dates for fall registration at Cerro Coso Ccmmunity College have been set. The tests will be held Saturday, July 24, and Saturday, Aug. 7, from 8 a.m. to noon in the Cerro Coso lec­ture center.

The placement examination is a requirement for potential students prior to being admitted to the college. The test is waived for students who have aIready earned degrees, have completed significant college coursework or who know they will be taking zero-credit adult education classes.

Reservatloos and information may be obtained by calling the Cerro Coso coun­seling center, 375-6001, en. 34.

Capt. Daniel Dodd, Air Force officer, new arrival at NWC

The Naval Weapons Center's complement of Air Force officers (including those assigned to VX-5) was increased to nine by the recent arrival of Capt. Daniel A. Dodd, who is serving as the USAF liaison officer in the Sparrow Program Office.

Capt. Dodd reported to China Lake following a three year tour of duty with the Electronics Test Division of the 3246th Test Wing at the Air Force Systems Command's Armament Development and Test Center, Eglin AFB, Florida.

Capt. Dodd's military career began when he enlisted in the Army in 1961. After a year, he received a Congressional appointment to the U. S. Military Academy and, following his graduatloo from West Point in 1966, was one of a few of the cadets to be com· missioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Force.

He later attended the Air Intelligence Officers' School at Lowry AFB in Denver, Colo., and Squadroo Officer School at Maxwell AFB in Alabama prior to being sent to Tan Son Nhut Air Base outside Saigon, where he served as an air In­telligence officer from December 1966 to June 1966.

Returning to the U. S., Capt. Dodd nen spent three years at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M., being involved in the high energy laser program.

His assignment at Eglin AFB then preceded his present duty here.

Capt. Dodd was accompanied to NWC by his wife, Mary Jane, and their daughter, Dana, who is 4 years old.

Details announced of new Affirmative Action Plan for Navy

A new Navy AffIrmative Action Plan (NAAP), the result of a alief of Naval Operatlons-dlrected study of Navy Equal Opportunity / Race Relations (EO / RR) problems, policies, practices and programs, has been announced. Highlights include:

Standardizing EO / RR education programs in the Navy.

Establishing new, aggressive initiatives in minority recruiting and retention.

Reviewing promotloo and advancement policies and procedures to eliminate any minority bias and ensuring appropriate minority representatioo on all seIectioo and review boards.

Increasing the effectiveness of career counseling programs to reduce the nwnber of personnel leaving the Navy for reasons of sex or race discrimination, under-utIliza· tloo or job dissatisfaction.

Developing programs to encourage minorities to enter occupational fields or technical specialties in which they presently are under-{'epresented.

Aggressively investigating all complaints of sex or race discrimination particularly in the area of military justice.

Seeking new ways to optimize the utilization of women throughout the Navy.

The NAAP is directed toward the major Fleet and shore-establishment com­manders, and they, in turn, are responsible for revising their existing AffIrmative ActIon Plans to support the new NAAP.

The plan ca\ls for an annual review of Navy AffIrmative ActIoo Programs at all levels of the chain of command. The CNO, in endorsing the plan, explained that the success of the pIan depends on ''the en­thusiastic, diligent and conscientious support of all our Navy men and women."

GEBA assessment now due following death

Assessments are now due from members of the Government Employees Benefit Associatioo and the China Lake Mutual Aid Society following the death this past week of Henry Goode.

The deceased, a former Code 7021 em· ployee, was 72 years old at the time of his death on July 8 in Glendale, Calif.

GEBA and CLMAS members are asked by Larry Mason, secretary, to contact the collectors in their work area to pay this iatest assessment, which is No. 371.

perfonned five years of clinical work in a mental health center in Owatonna., Minn., where he was the assistant program director.

An alumnus of the Peace Corps, Mechtenberg worked in Turkey from 1985-f1 in the field of community development after receiving his B.A. degree in sociology from the University of South Dakota in Venni\lion. Moreover, while living in Northfield, Minn., he and his wife, Katy, were the resident directors of the ABC (A Better Chance) Program, a nationwide effort designed to improve secondary educational opportunities for un­derprivileged minority students.

Mechtenherg takes the reins of the Desert Counseling Clinic in time to guide the agency through its move from the Naval Weapons Center to Ridgecrest. The position of administrator replaces that of executive director, a job which was vacated by Dr. Ellis Cline when he resigned several months ago.

According to Paul Riley, immediate past president of the clinic's board of directors, Mechtenherg's arrival marks the cul­mination of a months·long search for an administrator. "I am particularly happy to have been part of the selection committee and feel that an excellent choice was made. I know that David will playa dynamic role in the future development of the Desert Counseling Clinic," he said.

The new D.C.C. administrator especially enjoys family activities with his wife, and sons, Matthew, 4, and Ted, 2. His other leisure-tlme pursuits include tennis, jogging and reading.
