The School of Public Admin­istration of the University of Southern California will inaug­urate a graduate program here this fall.

Balletom~nes To Boost Retarded Youth Funds

TWO HEADS ARE BETTER - This scene was played re­peated ly as youngsters wrestled with the major problem "what would daddy like for Father' s Day?" Seems as though Bobby and J immy, six-year old twins of the Ray. Ha r rison famil y, have finally come to a meeting of the mi nds - and pocketbook!

'WITH PLEASURE' - Ken Miller, trea.urer of the Matur­ango Museum, accepts membership donations from Capt. Charle. Blenman Jr_ and Dr_ William B_ McLean_ Dedicated to perpetuation of this desert's historic climate, interested citizens are campaigning this month for both manual and financial membership participation.

Scheduled for the fall semes­ter are P.A. 480, Politics and Administration, and P.A. 500, Fundamentals of Public Admin­istration. Both courses will be conducted by Dr. William B. Storm, Assoc. Professor of Pub­lic Administration at USC.

Applications for admission are available in the Education Of­fice, Room 1004 in Michelson Lab., and should be completed no later than July 15.

NOTS Scientists Discover Fossils,

A crater located in the Pana­mint Valley range area at China Lake holds one of the finest collections of prehistoriC animal fossils ever found in the area, according to NOT S scientists who this week continued evalu­ation tests in cooperation with university scientists.

Dr. Pierre St. Amand, head of the Earth and Planetary Sci­ences division here, said no spe· cific date has yet been applied to the remains. However, defi­nitely identified in the find are camels, horses, turtles and birds which inhabited the earth an estimated 8-10 thousand years ago.

Despite its appearance the ab­sence of meteoritic matter in the area has caused researchers to doubt that the crater was caused by cosntic action, according to Dr. Shelden D .Elliott, Jr., ex­cavation supervisor. He said that I a r gel i m est 0 n e deposits throughout the adjacent coun­tryside indicate that the hole could have bee n c a use d by underground water solution.

Here's Wh,ere NOTS ~~--:-:---, -Loreta Granted-Ph.D.: Figures In Big Picture Iii Electriccil Engineering:

.. .' . - . Our location in the world and its geography have dic·

tated that ,sea power is the sine qua non of our economic and political survival. But a Navy is not an end in itself, I)or is sea power. Our real objective is the advancement of the national interest, which, like geography, is unchang· ing. We must, therefore, bend the complexities of scientific advancement to the service of sea power, and sea power to the service of the nation.

Let me cite a striking example. Technological advances in -propellants and weapons permitted tlie design and can· struction of the POLARIS missile. Nearly simultaneously, advances in nuclear propulsion, communications, navigation, and hull construction permitted the concept of the POLARIS weapons system. Technology has been bent to the service of sea power and sea power to the service of the nation. We have used the oceans to our national advantage, and let me assure you that we intend to continue to do so!

We have made similar advances with SIDEWINDER, SPARROW, BULLPUP, ASROC, SUBROC. Much still remains to be done. We urgently need improvements in the detec· tion and classification of submarines. We need to make best use of the communication and navigation advantages of satellites, and of space vehicles. There is, .in fact, no area of technology which may be left unexplored in our advance· ment of sea power. Our accomplishments of the past merely point the way to our goals of the future - a future in which the value of the sea may be multiplied many fold. We must continue to bend technology to the service of sea power and sea power to the service of the nation.

According to Bob Livengood, there are no more than 5000 clinical psychologists in this country - and he plans to in· crease the number by one. Bob is leaving the Station on June 29 to return to school full time until he obtains his doctorate­a requirement for his ultimate goal.

A mail, file and records clerk in the Pasadena Mail Room, Bob has been on the NOTS team since October 1959. His many friends will miss the special at· tention and personal service he so cheerfully dispenses.

The Navy has aimed high and accomplished much in the past few years. In ships, missiles, and planes we have made advances which by their very regularity seem now to be routine. But that is the trick of the thing - making diffi· cult achievements look routine is a tremendous compliment to the men of government and industry whose cooperation and ingenuity have added so much to the structure of sea power.

The father's role as head of his wife and his family in rio way lessens his spouse's dignity as wife, mother and companion. If h e is king, she is queen. If he rules by authority and is owed obedience, she rules by love and is owed devotion. Rather than conflict, there is harmony be· tween the two roles, for they complement each other.

The center witI coordinate and conduct studies related to the strategies by which free societies can utilize their total strength to preserve and further develop the values ' underlying Western civilization. The Center wiII open Sept. 1. . .

Part of the Center's function will be to collate more special­ized research efforts in uni ver~ sity and research centers, as well as to synthesize the study papers and testimony before Congress related to the many aspects of the cold war.

. This wiII point up r.e~earcb aud informatiou gaps,. aj; well as enable a .better view of overall strategy ,problems. The products of these efforts will be available to: the' publIc and' .are, expected to be at special in.terest to p,ol, icy .makjilg officials iii govern· ment as well a_s to industrial and university groups. . Areas of research wiJ! include; military resource studies, do· mestic economic strength; inter, national ~cohomics of national security, ,uses of national power, communist strategy' and aims of Western strategy.

To the interested layman, it would appear that there wiII un· doubtedly be some interaction between this new center and the NOTS scientists working with re­search data which emanates from Project Michelson studies.

esc Reports No Raise For Health Plan Rates

Premium rates of the Govern· ment·wide Service Benefit Plan and the Government-wide In· demnity Benefit Plan-which to· gether cover about 80 percent of the nearly 2,000,000 employees enrolled in the Federal Em· ployees Health Benefits program -wiII not .be increased for the next contract year which begins November I , 1962, the Civil Ser­~ ':"!e Commission has announc-

The CSC also said that the n( xt "open season" of the pro· gram is. planned for late 1963, probably in October.

A few of the other 35 plans pdrticipating in the program may require premium rate in­creases. While some plans may make minor perfecting changes in benefits, rate increases wiII be negotiated only on the basis that they are needed to main· tain the proper balance between

the cost of present benefits and premium rates. However, any in­creases in rates by other plans for the next contract year will probably be small, the Commis· sion said.

Although there will be no general "open season" in Octob­er of 1962, eligible employees who have previously elected not to enroll wiII have auother op· portunity to enroll in a partici­pating plan in October of this year. Also, any employee now able to change to a self·and·fam­ily enrollment in the same plan and option at that time. During a general "open season"eligible employees have an unrestricted opportunity .to change from one plan or option to another or, if not enrolled, to enroll in a plan.

The decision to hold no "open season" in 1962 was made after consultation with the Federal Employees Health Benefits Ad­visory Committee.

AND MORE TO COME - Capt. R. A. ' Davidson, Public Works Officer, awards a 30-year~ service ~ pin to Edward F. Galovic, leading man rigger with the Transportation Division . Ten years of this time were spent in the service, but he re-
