MAGIC, MERRIMENT, MAKE-BELIEVE IN RAINBOW VALLEYHy) Pat Kendig

Do you believe in fairy tales? Have you ever wished upon a star? Have you ever dreamed offinding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? If so, you won't let your imagination missa jaunt to Rainbow Valley via "Finian's Rainbow." The reserved seats are selling fast for thismusical comedy production which opens Wednesday,May 29, at the Marina Point Community Audtorim.

This show is a captivating whimsy about anIrishman, Finian McLonergan, and his daughter,Sharon, who have come from far-off Glocca Morrato live in Rainbow Valley, an -idyllic fairy-place in the very southern state of Missitucky.Finian has brought with him a very special pot ofgold "borrowed" from the leprechauns of his na-tive Isle. The action entwines around the peopleof Missitucky and how they keep their land be-cause of this wonderful, warm-hearted Irishmanand his "borrowed" pot of gold. He has broughtit to America to plant it into the ground becauseeverything is bigger and better in America. And,of course, accompanying this action are the loveaffairs, the dances, the music and gaiety thatnormally go along with a musical comedy.

Tim Kelly, as Finian,the old adventurer withthe pot of gold and the vivid imagination, willcause us to believe his slightly many but appeal-ing idea. Tim calls Dorchester, Mass., home. Hehas been in Gitmo two years and is the Principalat Victory Hill School.

Sally Gursky as the heroine, Sharon, will behoping with the audience that the pixified notionof her father will come true, so that they can FINIAN (Tim Kelley) and his daughter, Sharon,return to Ireland. Sally is a Navy wife and has (Sally Guraky) look for the magic land of Rain-been in Gitmo fcr 2'1 years. She hails from Glean, lbow Valley, rehearsing for their roles in theN.Y.

Gary Schlosser will play the part of Og,thespritely leprechaun who comes all the way fromIreland in pursuit of the stolen gold. Og cansing a song or cast a spell or carry on in anynumber of magical ways. Gary is from Pittsburg,Pa.,and majored in radio and TV at Syracuse U. inNew York. He has been active in Little Theaterhere in Guantanamo for two years and the day af-ter closing of this production, he is due toleave for Graduate School in Motion Picture Pro-duction at U.C.L.A.

Rheamond McCurdy will play the part of a ten-ant farmer, Woody, with whom our wistful heroinefalls in love. Rheamond (Mac) was sent to Gitmoin November to assist during the crisis. He is

MCDONALD NAMED NEW CNOPresident Kennedy has sent the name of Adm.

David L. McDonald to the Senate for confirmationas Chief of Naval Operations. Adm. McDonald willsucceed Adm. George W. Anderson, whose term asCNO expires on Aug. 1.

The President also announced that he willname Adm. Anderson U. S. ambassador to Portugalafter he is relieved as CNO.

Adm. McDonald's appointment makes it thesecond time within two years that he has succeed-ed Adm. Anderson. He took over as CommanderSixth Fleet in July 1961 when Adm. Andersonmoved up to the CNO billet.

The White House also nominated Gen. CurtisE. LeMay for an additional one-year term as AirForce Chief of Staff, beginning July 1. Gen.LeMay's reappointment for a one-year tour willavoid future instances wherein the normal two-year terms of two military chiefs would expirewithin a month of each other.

NEW PRO-PAY PLANPOSSIBLE IN FISCAL '64Top Defense officials have agreed on basic

revisions to the proficiency pay system, expect-ed to be phased in during Fiscal Year 1964.

Key changes in the new plan are:Higher rates of pay for designatedahortage

or "hard to keep" specialties ranging from $50-$100, as compared to the present rates of $30and $60.

In the designated specialties all career menwill be eligible for proficiency pay withouttaking a pro-pay specialty examination.

Men in other than shortage specialties willbe eligible to compete for'superior performance"pay of $25 monthly.

Details of the new pro-pay plan, includingshortage specialties, rates of pay and specificeligibility criteria are now being developedwithin the military department.

The new system provides two kinds of pro-pay.One is for men in skills "designated to receivespecialty pay." Men in these skills will drawextra pay of $50, $75 or $100 monthly. Thesepayments will be made to qualified career menworking in designated skills.

The other kind of pro-pay will be for mendesignated as superior performers. They willget $25 per month for a 12 month period. Underthe new plan, each service may have its own sys-tem of awarding the $25 monthly superior per-formance award.

If the program revisions are on schedule,the first phase of the new pro-pay plan couldbecome effective July 1 according to WilliamGorham, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense(Manpower) for special studies and requirements.

Mr. Gorham further stated that about 265,000men (Navy-68,000 approximately) are currentlyof these men will be eligible under the revisedcriteria.

Under the new system, ranking of skillswhich will determine eligibility and the rate ofspecialty pay will be based on length and costof training, the reenlistment rate in the skilland other personnel and cost factors.

DOD officials believe that the new systemwillbe considerably more effective as an induce-ment for men to reenlist in the high-cost hardto keep skills.

LIBERTY AND COMMUNISMTHE RIGHT TO INFORMATION

(Armed Forces Press Service)In all modern democracies, the right of

citizens to receive full information regardingall actionsof their government is incontestable.This right to information includes publicationof the test of all laws, regulations and trea-ties. It prohibits secret treaties.

It includes access to the public to sessionsof legislative debates. It also includes theobligation of the government to inform the citi-zens regarding mistakes in administration of anymalfeasance of officers.

Democratic constitutions contain procedurescompelling the governments to give fullinforma-tion regarding official operations. Of coursethe existence of an opposition party or parties,with full rights of criticism, is the fundamen-tal means of enforcing publicity.

Even so, modern democracies also providespecial means for all parties to compel any re-luctant administration to divulge information.

The methods used to elicit information fromthe Executive include: (1) the demand by eitherhouse of Congress that the President or a Cabinetofficer furnish information on a certain subjectin writing; and (2) questioning of Cabinet mem-bers by committees of either house of Congressin congressional hearings.

Again, the President and the Cabinet membershold periodic press conferences in which theyanswer questions by newsmen.

In contrast to the citizens of modern demo-cracies, the citizens of Communist regimes haveno constitutional guarantees for obtainingin-formation regarding governmental operations andno procedures to compel the dictatorshipto dis-close such information.

There are no opposition parties to condemnthe government for its secretiveness. The pressand radio are useless for this purpose Theyare controlled by the Communist governments.

Delegates in the puppet legislatures have nopower to force the dictatorship to reveal whatthe dictators wish to hide. The delegates arehandpicked by the Communist Party, and subser-vient to it.

The Communists in the U.S.S.R. even jamforeign broadcasts to cut citizens off from in-formation coming from abroad that may be criti-cal of the Soviet Government.

In other words, the Communist Party, as the"vanguard of the masses," considers itself theguardian of the minds of the proletariat, andwill give only such information as it considersproper for the masses.

Of course, such a system lends itself tocovering up all governmental mistakes andblunders, which in a parliamentary governmentwould lead to the fall of the Cabinet.

41,000 AMERICANS DIED--NEEDLESSLYLast year 41,000 Americans died in traffic

accidents, the most in our history.This is the same as if a catastrophe were

suddenly to wipe out the life of every man, wo-man, and child in a city with a population of41,000.

It is the same total--41,000 dead--but it isnot as dramatic. Yet is the loss any less be-cause it took 365 days to kill them instead ofdoing it all at once?

The answer, of course, is no.But there are no demands for investigations

to pinpoint where the blame rests, because wealready know the answer.

The blame rests squarely with each of us.It rests especially heavy because traffic

deaths have totaled more than 35,000 a year forthe past 10 years. In those years, however,the number of deaths usually was offset by a re-duction in the rate of deaths per miles oftravel. But last year the mileage rate increas-ed as well.

And the blame rests especially heavy becausea tried and proven--but, tragically, not fullyutilized--program to reduce traffic deaths hasexisted for 17 years. This is the Action Pro-gram of the President's Committee for TrafficSafety.

Where this program has been put into use,however limited, it has saved lives, accordingto the National Safety Council. From 1946-1962,the program cut the traffic death rate almost inhalf. Had the rate continued at its 1946 figure,last year's death toll would have exceeded

75,000.It would have been well below 41,000, how-

ever, had the program been in wider use."This nation is at a critical turning point

in traffic safety," said Howard Pyle, presidentof the National Safety Council, in calling for

intensifiedsupport of the program in every stateand city.

"This national plan encompasses every es-sential factor for the control of traffic acci-dents," he said.

"This includes sound, uniform laws and ordi-

nances; improved accident-record keeping; driver

education in the schools; motor vehicle admin-istration--including licensing practices and ve-hicle inspection; police traffic supervision;firm courts; broader dissemination of public in-formation, and militant, organized citizen sup-

port."That's the program. It will save lives. It

is up to all of us to let our public officialsknow we want the program enacted and that we

will stand behind it.There is no alternative.

CHAPLAIN'S CORNERYOU HAVE HELP

By Chaplain C. E. LeMater

The story is told of a traveler who arrivedat a railway terminal and was approached by asmall boy who said, "Carry your bag, Mister?"The man looked at the boy and replied, "I'mafraid you can't do it, son, it would be tooheavy for you." "I know," answered the littleboy, "But my brother and I together can."

Some of us at times carry heavy loads. Wemay feel we can not carry the load alone. Ifthis time has come recently and you feel thatyour discouragement or disappointment is too biga load to be carried, it is time to be remindedthen of the prayer that has become a standardfor many. "0 Lord, help me to understand thatyou will let nothing come my way that you and Itogether can not handle."

Just Wonderin'. . .

LET THE BOYS PLAYby D. Koze, JOC

"Batter up.Play ball."1 Thousands ofyoung boys throughout the nation and severalhundred here at Gitmo will be hearing these fam-iliar words soon. Yes, PeeWee and Little Leaguebaseball will be in full swing judt as soon asthe 'book-learnin' is taken care of.

Baseball for many years has been the nation'spastime; however, it has been just within thelast 20 years that the pre-teen boys have beenable to play baseball in an organized atmosphere.Actually, you could say it is organized, not in

the sense as we know the Major Leagues, butplenty of organization must go into an effectiveLittle League ball club.you can bet on that.

I can't help but mention two men here atGuantanamo whom I observed during the past fewweeks. On their own time they have organizedthe neighborhood boys into a well-disciplinedgroup of eager baseball players. I understandthat it started accidentally, when only 4 or 5boys would come out to catch some flies and

grounders. Soon the group expanded beyond the

neighborhood until boys from across Sherman Ave.

would be hurrying to the practice field to getsome instructions. It is certainly a commendabledeed for Dan C. Barry, UT1, NSD, and K. B. Fair-child, ACC, NAS, to take the time and trouble toteach the boys the elementary points of thegame. By the time the season gets started theseboys, who will play on various teams, will havehad some fine lessons.

Speaking of Little League baseball, I read

an article some time ago on the subject whichquestioned whether or not the game was benefi-cial to the young boy. It commented about the

actions of the parents. It stated.if the

parents kept off the field and left the game to

the boys and manager, Little League baseballcould be beneficial to the young mind. However,sportsmanship which is trying to be induced bythe manager is soon forgotten by the boy whenMother or Dad charges an umpire after a suppos-edly unfair call. Having a son in the Little

League age-bracket myself, I'mall for having the

parents stay in the bleachers and let the boy

play ball as directed from the managers view-

point. You'd be surprised how much more you can

enjoy the ball game by letting the manager get

the ulcer. Try it this year and seetRemember back just before election, the

country road superintendent got all his men out

and started fixing all the pot-holes in the

roads? He even did a little scraping if the

hard cider was still around for the boys to

sample. I was reminded of this when I saw Sher-

man Ave. getting a face-lifting around Marine

Site #2. I'm sure there's no one up for re-

election here at Gitmo, it's just another step

to improve and beautify our community. It may

seem a little inconvenient now to be driving

over a short stretch of bumpy road, but I'm sure

you'll soon have some nice smooth pavement be-

fore long. PATIENCE.

May 26, 1963 THE GITMO REVIEW Page Three

0Page Four THE GITMO REVIEW

by George Thomson, BTCSAfter nearly five months of Naval Base sports

competition in 1963, the Naval Air Station Fly-ers have more team victories to their creditthan any other Base Command.

On the Jan. 26 boxing card, NAS had chreewinners out of five entries. The Flyer cinder-men won the April 27 Track and Field meet with atotal of 58 points. The Air Station volleyballteam was just recently crowned Base champions.In baseball, the Flyers as of this writing weretied with MCB-7 for the league leadership, eachteam having won ten games and lost two. Wednes-day evening's playoff game, however, decided theBase champions.

Naval Air swimmers and divers finished sec-ond in the first of three Basewide swim meets tobe held during 1963. Flyer basketballers wekePost-Season Tournament champions. Air Stationmarksmen competed in the COMTEN Rifle and Pistolcompetition,and sent two bowlers to the COMTENBowling Tournament held at San Juan,Puerto Rico.

It would be foolhardy to say that any oneindividual was responsible for the success ofNaval Air Station teams.

There is one person, however, who stands outas having done more to encourage athletics onthe Air Station and spent more of his own timecoaching, training and helping Air Station com-petitors, than any other. This gent is ChiefBoatswain Jim Anderson, OinC of the NAS BoatShed, and Athletic Officer for NAS.

Jim was directly associated with the Flyerboxing team and the track and field team. Healso served as manager of the Flyer baseballteam. During the past baseball season, Jim wasalways seen in the third base coaching box when-ever his Flyers were at bat.

NAS teams are some of the best-dressed andwell-equipped in the Naval Base leagues. Thiscan also be attributed to the Bos'n's efforts.

Bos'n Anderson has 18 years Naval servicebehind him, 15 of them as an enlisted man. Jimis very happily married and is the father of afour-year-old boy, Craigan Bryant.

In service sports competition, the Bos'nplayed first base for the USS Guadalupe (AO 32),which ran up a string of 23 victories against 3losses over a two year period. Aboard the USSDes Moines (CA 134), Jim again performed at theget-away sack, and was instrumental in helpinghis team to a second place finish in the BatCru-Lant League in 1950.

Jim calls St. Stephens, Ala., home. A finegent, Bos'n Anderson--Naval Air Station's lead-ing sports booster.

This past week, Naval Base sports fans weretreated to sports entertainment par excellence.Monday evening in the final game of a seven-gameseries to determine the Naval Base Ladies Soft-

ball Championship, the Hi-School Gals downed theBase Enlisted Wives, 22-13, and were crownedchamps.

Also on Monday evening, MCB-7 moved into a

tie with NAS for the baseball league leadershipwith an 11-1 win over the Flyers.

Sam Wheeler (basketball's biggest clown) andJimma Dew (second tallest man in basketball, 7-foot) perfonn just one of the many dazzlingplays in the Harlm Magician's bag of tricks.The Mapicians entertained capacity crwd lastTuesday and Wednesday evening at freshly paint-ed basketball court #2.

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings on No. 2 bas-ketball court,sports enthusiasts were entertain-ed by the world-renowned dribbler Marques Haynesand his Harlem Magicians, who provided two hoursof laughter each evening with their basketballantics.
