Fourth Marines' Anniversary Wed. Corps to Adopt 2 New Weapons In '61 Says CMC

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Ma- rines will bid farewell to their trusted friendS the M-1 rifle and the M1919A4 machine gun in the not too distant future, Headquarters Marine Corps announced last week. Replacing these battle-tested .30 caliber weapoOs will be the M-14 rifle and the M-60 general purpose machine gun.

General Randolph McC. Pate, Commandant of the Marine Corps, in his announcement that the Corps will adopt the new weapons, indicated that they will go into production during fiscal year 1960 a...d will be ready for distribution during fiscal year 1961.

The new weapons have under- gone extensive tests at various Marine Corps installations. Mas- ter Shooters with the Corps' Marksmanship Training Unit at Camp Matthews, Calif., who have fired the M-14, generally like the weapon according to Capt C. G. Trvon, officer in charge of the testing group there. He indicated that although the

rifle has been fired over the present "A" course only a few times so far, most qualification scores have been slightly higher than average.

Most Marines testing the M-14 at Camp Matthews have experienced no difficulty in firing from the established prone, sitting, kneeling and offhand positions. Some of the riflemen find they have not been shooting quite as good scores offhand with the new rifle as they normally do with the M-1.

Both the new rifle and the new machine -gun fir. the 7.0 mm. North Atlantic Treaty Organh:s- lion (NATO) cartridge which will be common to our allies. The M-14 rifle weighs 8.7 pounds as opposed to the 51-Fr 9.5 pounds. The new system offers many ad-

vantages according to the Army which adopted the new weapons last May. It gives the modern fighting man a better and lighter rifle and a lighter machine-gun to give for- Ward infantry units greater fire Power

When the new rifle is equipped with a heavier barrel and tripod it is called the M-15, weighs 13 pounds an-i is designed to replace the pres-

20-pound Browning Automatic'

FAST BRASS-Showing the rapid rate of fire in the newly adopted M-14 rifle, Marine master rifleman SSgt. Albert W. Hauser Jr., Marks- manship Training Unit, Camp Matthews, Calif., puts the weapon through its paces during tests to determine whether the Marine Corps' present "A" rifle qualification course is suitable for marksmanship training with the new weapon. The inset offers a comparison of cartridges and magazines. On the left is the smaller, lighter 7.62mm cartridges and 20 round magazine. To the right is the standard M-I dip and cartridges.

Many Activities Planned To Celebrate Historic Day

Forty-four years of colorful history and tradition will be re- called Wednesday during celebrations commemorating the birth of the 4th Marine Regiment. Major observances planned incliide a regimental parade, special dinner, cake cutting, athletic events and mess night. A special edition of the WINDWARD MARINE,, devoted to the 4th Marines, will be distributed Tuesday afternoon to members of the "4th."

The day's celebration will start with a regimental ceremonial parade and review at 9 am. Wednesday on Platt Field. The parade will be re- viewed by Brig. Gen. A. R. Kier, 1st Marine Brigade commanding general.

In calling attention to the anniversary, Col. 0. A. Roll. 4th Marines commanding officer, said "The 4th Marine Regiment was officially activated on 16 April 1914. Since that day it has served faithful :y and well in many corners of the globe and to help us observe this day all hands are encouraged to invite their dependents and friends to view this ceremony in honor of our regiment." An invitation to the parade has also been extended to the Oahu general

Chaplain's Corner Ithe

By CHAPLIAN CARL A. AUEL lc-BAY Ki BiTzER There are many ways of describ-

ing the present struggle between Democracy and Communism. It may be thought of in terms of "cold war." It may be described as an economic struggle or a political one. Some men have chosen to refer to the "balance of power," when speaking of the contest. All these and more are attempts to describe what is in, fact occuring.

Recently, much has been written and spoken, which directs attention to the spiritual aspect involved. And a is perhaps here that we begin to really understand the scope of the problem. In the fulfil analysis, when the contest will hate been corn- aleted, economics or politics will be neither winner nor loser. These things are inanimate. MEN will win. MEN will lose. The human being is always the basic factor. For it is from within the mind, the soul, of the human person that

It appears that there is still too much waste in the Jae- 11.111.

By this I mean that any edible waste is too much. In the, day

of "Doll-ar Stretch" every dollar's worth of waste is certainly a

dollar's worth of food that can't be purchased for a future meal.

Every nian is entitled to three meals a day and lie can eat as

much as he wants. But, as Capt. Harvey, the Food Services Di-

rector, points out: the food &emit belong to a man- until-it's in his stomach. Up to that time it's government property and is

:lot exclusively an individual's. You wouldn't throw your M-1

..way because the consequences of getting rid of that piece of

1(A-eminent property are well known. Next time you take four pieces of bread when you only in-

tend to eat one, give a little thought to the real meaning of

throwing the other three slices away. Take one slice. If you

want another slice, go get it. It's so simple and so sensible!

I was one of the 11-1200 persons who climbed out of the sack

before dawn Sunday to attend the Easter Sunrise Services here at

K-Bay. It was worth the effort. The very setting at Pyramid Rock lends drama and impact to the message: Christ is Risen.

As the sermon is delivered on the significance of this most joyous of Christian observances, the first rays of the morning

the brightening light seems to bring these crosses closer, so that their significance can not be lost for a moment.

If you're going to be here next year, make it a point to at- 'end. You won't he sorry.

A couple of things not included in the actual Sunrise Service Is° impressed me. The bus transportation from the parking

!rea alongside the runway to the Pyramid Rock area, and return. was excellent. In fact, I would say it was outstanding.

The security personnel were very well briefed, courteous, and knew what they were doing. The sergeant who boarded the buses to caution passengers about smoking was pleasant and effective.

I really anticipated a class "A" jam-up when the service was over but it never materialized.

All of these things, when combined, add up to a most favorable impression of the Station and mean that persons attending found nothing to detract from the spirit of Easter. At least, I don't see how they could have had any complaints.

Have you noticed that the let Marine Brigade Band has re- vived the custom of serenading the disbursing office on payday? kctually, the Drum and Bugle Corps does the honors.

Sometime payday morning the D&B Corps marches smartly up the street in front of Bldg. 220, halts. faces the Disbursing Office, and renders a number.

I don't know where the custom originated but I've seen it practiced before. It seems natural enough. however. I always feel like serenading the pay officer on that important day twice a month when the long green is issued.

Better get those cowboy boots out again. It looks as though 'here's a rodeo in the making. Thinking at the moment is along the line of a Navy Relief Rodeo about the last day of May, first lay of June. If the plan reaches fruition, more fun and frolick

I think its good business.

The present efforts to reduce the traffic toll across the nation are resulting in stiffer penalties. such as license revoka- ion. No so obvious is another penalty the accident prone driver

.ncounters. As the number of accidents by an individual rises; so does the cost of insurance.

If a driver has several costly accidents, lie usually will find that no insurance company wants to take the risk. Poor risks which no company wants to underwrite usually are referred fo "assigned risk pc3ls" whic:i most states maintain. And some motorists become such poor risks that even the pools won't take them.

Some literature I received this week noted that in Illinois a driver assigned to the risk pool who has had one accident or one moving vehicle violation in the last three years pays 25 per cent more in premiums. If lie has had more than one accident or moving violation. the rate is 35 per cent higher. And he doesn't yet as much protection for his money.

My own feeling is that if a man is a poor risk for an in- rance company. he's also a highway hazard and should he re- rained from driving. I suspect this attitude will be shared in some states.

Regardless of this, however, it's obvious that the poor driver or the careless driver is going to pay in more ways than he sometimes considers.

SUNRISE at Pyramid Rock Sunday morning found nearly 1,200 worshippers from K-Bay and the Wind- ward community assembled for an Easter service as impressive and meaningfulas it was traditional. Only part of the assembled throng is visible in this photograph which shows the massed 70 voice military- civilian choirs, the 1st Marine Brigade Band, the three civilian pastors and military chaplains. Rising steep- ly behind the platform, the hill is surmounted by three crosses. The entire program was well planned and efficiently conducted, even to the details of transportation and traffic control.

SQUAD COMPETITION SET FOR QUANTICO SEPT. 9-11

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Top Marine rifle squads from around the world will compete in the second annual Unit Combat Marks- manship Competition to be held Sept. 9.11 at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Va.

Each infantry regiment in the Marine Corps will be represented by one squad. Last year a squad from the 4th Marine Regiment won ten phase, second in live firing and

first in the tactical field exercise. The squad, first squad, second

platoon of Golf Co., made up of 13 men plus an alternate fire team won the chance to show their stuff at Quantico by following to the letter the expert commands of Sgt. C, J. Smith, squad leader. While back in the States, Smith reenlisted for six years and chose para-recon schooling as his next duty assign- ment.

Making up the rest of the squad were Pfc. J. Wilson, Cpl. K. Rusnak, Pfc. J. Christensen, Pfc. R. Porter, Pfc. E. Marsalis, Pfc. J. Pettet, Pfc. R. Truax, Cpl. M. Hembree, Pfc. W. West, Pfc. J. Stoepfel and Pfc. R. Jaworcnvski.

Returning to Hawaii after their fine third place finish in the competition, the squad was met and praised officially by Brig. Gen. A. R. Kier, Brigade CG; Col. George A. Roll. 4th Marines CO, and Lt. Col. M. A. Hull, CO, 3rd Bn. 4th Marines.

Their battalion commander Lt. Col. Hull, had one last word to pass before dismissing their formation, "Each of you has a 48 hour pass beginning right now! Move out!"

third place in the Marine Corps- wide event.

In addition to various marksmanship awards, it is expected that meritorious promotions will again be extended members of the winning squad.

The awards include a plaque to the winning squad; individual badges to members of squads plac- ing first (gold), second (silver) and third (bronze); marksmanship proficiency certificates to the winning squad members; and letters of com- mendation from the Commandant of the Marine Corps to the winning squad members. Duplicates of the letters will be included in the Ma- rines' service record books.

The championship plaque and the marksmanship proficiency certificates are donated by the Marine Corps Association.

The competition was originated last year to stimulate training of the squad in offensive k....,mbat and to determine the Marine rifle squad most proficient in combat marksmanship.

Scoring is based on actions, or- ders, unit tactics, and hits on field targets.

Last year's competition, also held at Quantico, was won by a squad from "A" Co., 1st Bn., 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division. A squad from the 6th Marines placed second.

The top squad in the 4th Marine Regiment last year, from the 3rd Bn., finished third in the three phases of competition.

'SCHOOL DALE

WINS FRIENDS

FOR MARINES Marines of HMR-161, MAG-13,

while engaged in last month's series of amphibious assaults at Kauai, managed to squeeze a community relations program nicknamed "Opera- tion School Daze" into an already crammed operations schedule.

"Operation School Daze" brought Marines and helicopters to some 8,000 school children at 18 schools located throughout the Garden Isle. Only one Kauai school was missed due to the lack of a suitable land- ing area adjacent to the school grounds.

Many letters from school officials and students thanking the pilots and men of the squadron for pro- viding a first-hand lool: at the "whirly-birds" have been received by Lt. Col. S. V. Titterud, commanding officer, HMR-161.

One Koloa school third grader wrote, "Many of us had never been so close to a helicopter before. We even touched it. Looked at the big engine, looked inside and under the helicopter. We watched it do some stunts. It bowed to us to say good- bye before it flew away. We all waved good-bye."

Choppers of HMR-161 also have appeared at several Oahu schools and are a major attraction to groups visiting the 1st Marine Brigade.

The requirements for Prep School are: the man must be of officer caliber, he must have enlisted in the Marine Corps on or before July 1

Little Known Law Trips K-Bay Drivers

One of the lesser known portions of the H ....um Traffic Code has been brought to the attention of K- Bay drivers through the medium of traffic citations, it was learned this week.

In substance, the law requires a full stop when a driver uses a crossover medial strip. The pertinent paragraph 10, Section IX, of the Offical Traffic Code for the City and County of Honolulu is quoted as a less painful means of becoming acquainted with the law: "When- ever any highway has been divided into two or more separate roadways by medial strips, every vehicle shall be driven only upon the right-hand roadway and no vehicle shall be driven over, across, or within any such medial strips except through an opening in such strips or at a crossover or intersection; provided, however, that a driver who enters such opening, crossover or inter-

' section shall bring his vehicle to a full stop before emerging upon the adjacent roadway of such divided highway."

RED CROSS DRIVE ENDS TUESDAY I

DONATIONS PUT TO VARIOUS USES American Red Cross unit chairmen and keymen are encourag-

ing contributions from K-Bay personnel as the '58 drive is scheduled to end on the April 15 payday, it was reported this week.

Over 1,300 personnel were counseled at MCAS during 1957. Nu- merous families were given direct financial assistance, and many Marines based here had money available for transportation costs Despite the high cost of disaster and subsistence while on emergency aid, Gen. Gruenther said, Red Cross leave to the mainland. Over $33,000 was loaned to Marine personnel last year, according to the local chap ter's report.

Of the more than 1,800 Navy and Marine servicemen granted emergency leave in 1957, on the basis of reports from doctors, hospitals, lawyers and other authoritative sources forwarded to the Pearl Har- bor Red Cross office by local chap- ters, 800 were K-Bay Marines who were granted emergency leave, the report also stated.

Civilian and military leaders of the U. S. defense establishments have joined to urge their fellow- Americans to support the Red Cross in its annual fund drive, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, Red Cross president announced at the beginning of the campaign.

Gen. Gruenther, who spoke at the Station Theater here last year. ex- plained, this is a critical year for the Red Cross, because of the two- and-one-half year series of disas- ters, unprecendented in its 77- year history, which cost the Red Cross $56 million and wiped out its disaster reserves,

Officer Promotion Humps, Senate Group Pay Problem WASHINGTON-The House-approved military pay bill should

not be unduly delayed in the Senate in spite of problems posed by promotion humps in the higher ranks, Defense officials say.

Members of the Armed Services subcommittee. headed by Sen. John C. Stennis (D-Miss.), recently questioned William H. Francis Jr., Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Personnel and Reserve), on plans to resolve promotion difficulties in field and general officer grades.

Mr. Francis replied that the De- fense Department already had a Regular Officer Career Management package drafted for Congress and agreed to submit it for subcommittee examination.

Sen. Stennis previously went on record as preferring not to take action on the pay bill until he had an opportunity to study this regular officers' legislation. The career management package,

delivered to the subcommittee on March 31, provides that continuation boards review the records of all regular officers in permanent grade O- 5 and 0-6 when they reach 20 years service and select at least 90 per cent to continue in service.

the Navy normally has nb one -star rank and rear admirals preterit.. are automatically moved to the top bracket. In the other services, a brigadier general not selected fc: a second star must retire after 30 years service, while major generals can serve 35 years.

An additional special measure has been incorporated in the legislation for the Navy and Marine Corps. Due to the fact that the bulk of

their officers have regular commis- sions, these services would not be required to adhere to the mandatory 10 and 20 per cent in selecting grade 0-5 and 0-6 officers for retirement until 1965.

SUPPLY SAFETY PROGRAM STARS MOCK SATELLITE

Marine Navy, and civilian personnel of this Windward Marine Corps Air Station "placed" their bid earlier this week in the world's space race with the unveiling of what is be- lieved to be the first "Safety Satel- lite."

Under "test" since its creation last mid-December, operation "Safe Sky and Earth" became a reality when AV-2-NIK "soared" silently airborne during informal launching ceremonies in the station supply department offices.

Twin sets of red. amber. and green lights, housed at opposite ends of the spherical shape of the s a t ell it e. flash a special code message warning all hands cons- tantly to "Stop. Look, and Go Safe- ly."

Designed and constructed in his spare time by supply stock supervisor William H. Atwell of 304 Me- ncna st., Kailua. the three pound "orbit-maker" is 15 inches in di- ameter. Named Aviation Stock Con- trol Section Two, it has four pro- truding eletronic antennae. each carrying a two-inch solar power nickup sphere.

Supply department personnel sta-

ted that AV-2-NIK, propelled by gentle trade winds, circles a designated area in the department once every 10 minutes or 144 times a day while suspended overhead on a four foot string. Navy Lt. (jg) Robert B. Hassel, aviation supply officer, reports, "the safety satellite will remain in 'orbit' indefinitely."

Civil Service News --fn DETAIL PROCEDURE CHANGED

A recent change to NCPI 40 on Details has some. major revisions in the detail procedure.

Details may not exceed 3 months if the employee is not qualified for the position or rating to which detailed. If the employee is qualified, he may be detailed for a period not to exceed six months unless an ex- tension is approved by the Civil Service Commission. An employee may be detailed only once to the same position or rating within any period of 12 consecutive months.

Employees may not be detailed for more than six months to duties which have not been classified; and in such cases as it becomes known that a detail is to last for more than six months, action must be initiated

any event, except where additional time in grade is required before a position change can be effected and except in case of reorganization where the duties have not been crystalized, details must be predi- cated on bona fide intent to return the employee to the position from which he is detailed.

Copy of the detail action will be furnished the employee. 'QUALITY' IS THE WATCH WORD

Do you have an "idea" of some- thing which would improve the Station's operation, streamline its procedures, save the Government money, or improve the mora:e of personnel? If so, it's quite likely that you will submit this "idea" as

a Beneficial Suggestion. But before you do, here's a little "food for thought" on how to increase the chances of having your idea adopted and your pocketbook expanded with a cash award:

I. Have you stated the problem clearly? Don't worry about fancy wards, but paint a word picture so that the investigator can readily recognize the problem.

2. Do you have all the facts? Do you fully understand why the present procedure or system is in effect?

3. Have you considered several possible solutions before deciding on one as the best? Perhaps it would be a good idea first to discuss the problem and possible solutions with your supervisor, technical experts, or management officials directly concerned. Through such discus- sions you may hit upon a better idea than your original one. Or you may learn that corrective action has already been taken. Or you may gain other information which indi- cates the proposed idea is not necessary or practical. Or you may get leads on other related problems which need your constructive thinking for possible solutions.

It does cost money to administer the Beneficial Suggestion Program. But as long as the quality of suggestions received consistently re- flects constructive thinking; that is, recognition of problems and care- fully worked-out solutions, these costs are immaterial to the great benefits gained.

This Station can well be proud of its place on the Navy Department's -Beneficial Suggestion Honor Roll" for the past two years in recognition of a high adoption rate. This means a high quality of ideas submitted. Let's keep it up!

APWO PROMOTED Congratulations to LCdr. E. R.

Marines quintet throughout the season_ 2nd Bn.. 4th Marines- tenacity finally paid off in the final week of the Brigade-Station hoop season when they came from behind to cop the league championship with a 12 and 2 record.

Tied with the 11.:: Be. team until last Friday night when the two teams clashed in Hangar 103 for the final time, 2nd Bn. went ahead for the first time in the campaign via a two point 50-48 win over the former league leaders.

The wrap-up came Tuesday with a 58-48 victory by 2nd Bn. over the MAG-13 Champions.

In the opening game the previous Wednesday night, 2nd Bn., 4th Marines met the Cannoneers of 3rd Bn., 12th Marines and had to come from behind in the second half to eke out a hair-raising 46-45 victory. The win kept them in the race for team honors and was a real team effort over the sharpshooting Can- noneer crew.

Cpl. Ron Jackson, 2nd Bn. for- ward, was high in the game with 15 counters, followed by 1st Lt. Roger Haire of 3rd Bn., 12th Marines who accounted for 14 points.

Pfc. C. R. Taylor of MCAS was high in the game with 30 markers and missed only one of 13 free throws attempted. Pfc. Bill Neace was right behind him with 22 points, making 10 of 14 from the gift stripe.

High for the Champs was Pfc. Ben Cochran with 23 points.

On Thursday night, 3rd Bn., 4th Marines scored a wild upset when they hit from all angles in handing Service Bn. a 69 to 39 setback.

MCAS scored their second upset win in two nights in the second game, beating the MAG-13 All Stars 66-62.

Taylor was again high for the Station quintet with 22 markers. His deadly accuracy on charity tosses continued as he made eight for eight.

INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL BEGINS

WITH 2nd BN, OVER 1st BN. 7-2 Play in the Brigade-Station Sof t-

lball league got underway last Tues- day afternoon here at K-Bay as 2nd Bn., 4th Marines clashed with 1st Bn., 4th Marines in the season opener on Field 4 across from the Enlisted Pool.

2nd Bn. won 7-2 on a tight three hitter by Pfc. Bill Kisling and a powerful stick attack at the plate. Service Bn., 1st MarBrig. won the night game on the lighted field by a 6-1 count over the MAG-13 Champions. In a game Wednesday afternoon, 3rd Bn.. 12th Marines made the most of MCAS miscues and came out on the long end of a 13-5 count.

With Kisling of the 2nd Bn. limit- ing 1st Bn, batsmen to three safe- ties and his mates belaboring the 1st Bn. serves, the opening game issue was never in doubt. In the big fourth frame 2nd Bn. pushed across four tallies on three hits, including a three run homer by Pfc. Bruce Jackson, 2nd Bn. 3rd sacker, and zoomed to a commanding 6-1 advantage.

The 2nd Bn. catcher, Cpl. Eugene Lejeune also had a homer, smacking it for the distance in the first frame with a man on to provide an early 2-0 lead.

Kisling struck out six enemy bat- ters enroute to his first victory of the campaign.

Service Bn. hurter, Sgt. Jim Brown. used his fast motion and faster pitches to handcuff the MAG-13 Champions' artillery in sparking his team to a 6-1 victory.

The winners scored six runs on five hits and no errors while the Champs scored one run on six hits and five errors.

HM-3 Landel Offenberger Serve ice Bn.'s flashy keystone tender had two hits, a single and double, in three trips, to pace the offensive.

It was all Brown In the final in- ' ning, however, as he bore down

hard to strike out the side, sand- wiching a base on balls between the first and second outs. He struck out 13 enroute to the win.

In Wednesday afternoon's game at Field 4, the Cannoneers of 3rd Bn., 12th Marines turned a close 7-5 contest into a rout of MCAS with 6 runs on three hits, three-walks and an error in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The final tally read 13-5 in favor of the Cannoneers though they only got five hits in the game.

Pfc. Ben Barker led the winners' offense with a double and a single in four trys.

Three more games were scheduled in first week play in the first round of the double round robin circuit.

Next Saturday the Hawaii Ma- rines will compete in the Maui In- vitational Meet on the Valley Isle.

Softball Squad Trips Pointers For First Win

The Hawaii Marine varsity softball squad won their' first game of the season Wednesday in an exhibition tilt with Barber's Point at the Navy team's field.

Exploding for three runs in the first inning and four M the second, the Leathernecks were never in troub:e with Pfc. Tex Hinojosa hurling three scoreless frames. Hinojosa had three no-hitters for the varsity team last year in league play.

The final score was 10-2 in Vvor of the 'Necks.

2nd Lt. John Lennon led the Ma- rine attack with a home run and a triple. Cpl. Bob Hammond had a double and triple, Pfc. Tex Hino- josa two doubles and Pfc. Dean Whitebreast two singles in the power drive.

Coach 1st Lt. Dave Kline substi- tuted freely after the first few fin- ings and most of the squad saw action.

Next game for the team is tonight against Barber's Point on the lighted Softball field behind 3rd Bn., 12th Marines barracks, starting time 8

p.m.

soring a Junior rifle shoot in which .22 Cal. small bore rifles will be utilized. The date for the first shoot is tentatively planned for April 12, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

We are chiefly interested in the small fry dependents of military personnel aboard the Station. Any- one else who is interested, however, may come out to the range and fire.

All safety regulations will be strictly enforced. It is desirable that the younger dependents beac- companied by a parent or adult.

It has been reported by Lt. Hughs, who is handling the Junior Shoot, that there are four 22 Cal. rifles available for use. Targets and ammunition have also been made available. So remember, April 12 is the day, come on out and join in the fun!

There was very little activity out on the range last Saturday afternoon except for a couple of pistol shooters.

Club members, Saturday afternoon is a good time to do a little snapping in and shooting to round into the sharpest shape possible.

The outcome of the game was settled in the end by relief pitcher Jerry Cody of the Giants who came in to relieve starter Lyn Farley in the 5th and put out the fire by striking out the side. He gave up a game-tying homer in the 6th to Biff Prince of the Skyraiders which sent the game into extra innings.

Cody came to bat in the last of the 8th and iced the win with a two run homer which sent his team ahead 11-9 to cop the hard-fought victory.
