WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Four
pieces of proposed legislation
affecting Civil Air Patrol are
still before the U. S. Congress,
awaiting action by various
Congressional committees.
The four bills include: The
"CAP Supply Bill; a proposal
affecting compensation paid to
CAP members in case of death
or disability; a recommendation
to exempt CAP from paying the
annual airport tax charged all
civil aircraft; and a joint resolution authorizing the President to
declare Dec. 1 as "National Civil
Air Patrol Day" annually.
The CAP Supply Bill has been
before the Congress in one form
or another for several years. It
passed the House of Representatives in late 1978 but died when
the Senate failed to act on it for
lack of time before the 95th
Congress went out'of existence.
The measure was introduced
into the House of Representatives again in 1979 when the
new 96th Congress convened in
January last year. Reps. Tom
Bevill (Dem., Ala.), William
Nichols (Dem., Ala.) and Lester
L. Wolff (Dem., N.Y.) joined in
sponsoring the bill, identified officially as H.R. 1200.
The bill was assigned to the
House Armed Services Committee which has since then
moved it to its own

Headquarters Building Dedicated
MAXWELL AFB, ALA. -- In
colorful ceremonies Dec. 7 at
this Air University base, the U.
S. Air Force officially named
Building 714 "Wilson Hall" in
honor of Gill Robb Wilson, the
man primarily responsible for
establishing Civil Air Patrol
(CAP) in 1941.
At the noon ceremony, Mrs.
Margaret Denison, Wilson's
daughter, formally unveiled a
plaque in honor of Wilson. Dr.
P a u l E . G a r b e r, h i s t o r i a n
emeritus for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.,
gave the dedicatory address. He
is one of the few remaining individuals who knew Wilson personally.
The building has served as
Civil Air Patrol's national headquarters since 1967 when Headquarters, CAP-USAF, moved
here from Ellington AFB, Texas. During earlier years, it served as Maxwell's base hospital
and base medical personnel still
use part of the basement.
Representing the Air Force at
the dedication were Lt. Gen.

Stanley M. Umstead Jr., commander of Air University, and
Brig. Gen. Paul E. Gardner,
commander of Hq. CAP-USAF
and executive director of Civil
Air Patrol.
Representing Civil Air Patrol
were CAP Brig. Gen. Johnnie
Boyd of Del City, Okla., the
organization's national commander, and members of CAP's
National Executive Committee.
Civil Air Patrol was established on Dec. 1, 1941, and incorporated in 1946 by Act of
Congress as a non-profit,
benevolent, civilian organization
devoted to humanitarian activities. During World War II, it
won fame for its civilian defense
activities.
"i'oday it is also the civilian
auxiliary of the Air Force and is
known for its aerial search and
rescue, and other emergency
service activities, for its
aerospace education program
and for its cadet program of
leadership training and
motivational activities.
Wilson, a pilot in World War I,

was an aviation writer, a proponent of aerospace power and
later editor of "Flying"
Magazine. After Civil Air Patrol
was formed in 1941, he served as
its first executive officer. He
died in 1966.

A similar measure, H.R. 1420,

Colorado Deputy Commander
Killed In Antarctic Crash
DENVER, Colo. -- The recent
crash of a New Zealand sightseeing flight on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica has claimed the life of
Lt. Col. Jeanne Ferrell, deputy
commander of the Colorado
Wing.
Ferrell had been a CAP
member for over 30 years,
starting as a cadet. She came to
Colorado from West Virginia,
where she has a surviving
brother and sister. She never
married.
She worked for Capitol
Airlines in West Virginia and
when the company merged with
United Airlines transferred to
Denver. She had some 12,000
hours flying time and was licensed to fly and instruct transports,
multi-engine, single engine land
and seaplanes. She was a DC-10
instructor and member of the
99s, an organization of women
pilots.

A former cadet activities officer, Ferrell frequently invited
cadets to her home to teach
them CAP communications and
let them talk on the CAP radios.
At the time of her trip to New
Zealand, she was planning to
learn ballooning so she could
take cadets for rides.

Group Holds Earthquake Exercise
HUNTINGTON BEACH,
Calif. -- On a recent weekend,
the California State Office of
Emergency Services (OES)
authorized a simulated major
disaster exercise, in which the
Civil Air Patrol supported

Orange County OES.
The scenario involved a
massive earthquake exceeding
7.5 on the Richter scale, with the
epicenter located slightly
offshore near Seal Beach in
Orange County. Widespread

damage throughout the Los
Angeles Basin was indicated,
with heaviest property damage
and loss of life along the coast
between Long Beach and San
Clemente.
Mission base was Orange

CHECKING STATISTICS -- Lt. Carol Reynolds, standing left, mission information officer,

local offices of emergency services.

County OES in Santa Ana, with
initial CAP flightline set up at
Long Beach Airport. CAP Mission Coordinator was Lt. Col. Ernie Johnson, commander of
Group 7. His counterpart at OES
mission base was Roy Manning,
Radiological Defense officer for
Orange County. On hand to
evaluate the exercise were Lt.
Col. Larry Pring, USAF, CAPUSAF Liaison Officer, and Maj.
C. C. Julesgard from the California Wing.
The first task was to establish
communications with OES headquarters, which was accomplished by 8 a.m. The initial concern
at the county level was to determine degree and extent of
damage Problems reported
ranged from trapped individuals, damaged emergency
equipment, and contaminated
water, to fires resulting from
ruptured gas lines and civil disturbances.
Adverse weather conditions,
with extensive fog in the area,
hampered flying activities.
Special VFR conditions were in
effect, using one runway for
departures and another for
arrivals. Due to the "special"
conditions (including fiveminute intervals between
takeoffs), by 1 p.m. air traffic
departures were on a one-hour
waiting list.
Despite these setbacks, the
operation went smoothly and 35

assigned tasks were satisfactorily completed.
One of the first tasks completed was aerial radiological
monitoring of the San Onofre
Reactor. Surveillance, with
polaroid pictures for compiling
'damage assessment, covered all
the main highways, intersections, overpasses, dams and
reservoirs, local airports,
colleges, railroad tracks, shopping centers, high-rise buildings,
Leisure World, the Canyon areas
-- Trabuco, Silverado, and Modjeska--Dana Point Harbor, and
Balboa Island.
The air crew assigned to one
task can always remember this
as the day they became "big
game hunters" when they checked out Lion Country Safari for escaped animals.
According to an Air Force ofricer, formerly with AFRCC at
Scott AFB, who was observing in
an unofficial capacity, the 55
CAP personnel involved accomplished the mission in a highly
professional manner. Sixteen
aircraft flew a total of 49 hours,
and three sorties by ground
teams were also completed.
California Wing evaluated the
exercise as very well done.
Considering the recent "rock
'n rolling" earth movements in
this area, we may well be called
to put this training to practical
use sooner than we expect!

The fee for the school will be
$80, which includes room (based
on double occupancy, a small additional fee will be charged for
single rooms), meals (including
the Dining Out), and registration
fee.
College credit will be available
for the course material.

Prerequisite for attendance is
completion of Level 1 Senior

denly in an unpredicted blizzard.
Being called out at any hour in
any type of weather is not at all
unusual for Williams, who is an
electronics specialist with the
Colorado Department of Communications. The only thing unusual about this 7 a.m. call to
repair the microwave at Toonerville was the fact that, after his
ear slipped off the road, the
snowdrifts built up to four feet
within an hour.
Williams learned from his survival training never to leave a
vehicle. Although only two miles
from the microwave station he
had set out to repair, he realized
that as long as he remained in
the truck, he was directly
protected from the elements.
Having snowcatted in remote

areas of the mountains in La
Veta and Wolf Creek, Williams
was appropriately dressed.
After unsuccessfully trying to
shovel himself out, he dried his
wet clothes by the heater and
thereafter ran the motor only at
minimum intervals to conserve
gasoline. He had only one gallon
of gasoline left at the end of the
25 hours he spent in the stalled
truck. He had removed a hubcap
and decided that, if necessary,
he could start a small fire in it
and burn the wooden equipment
boxes if he opened a window to
let out the smoke.
During the ordeal, Williams
did have one-way radio communication due to the proximity
of the microwave tower. He
could talk to Lamar; then the

Lamar dispatcher would send a
message to the Springfield
station, which relayed the
message to Williams.
After 25 hour of seeing nothing
but surrounding drifts of snow
and one airplane passing over,
Williams was finally rescued by
a snowcat brought from
Alamosa. The snowcat had to
drive 38 miles before reaching
Williams, who then proceeded in
the snowcat to repair the
microwave station.
Williams was commended by
the executive director of the
Colorado Department of Administration for being wellprepared and having patience to
wait until help came.

cadet program develops and motivates young
people in leadership and responsible citizenship.
Moreover, many cadets have gone forward to
become members of the Air Force team.
Former cadets have a 33 percent higher basic
military training completion rate than non-CAP
recruits. In addition, former CAP cadets comprise six percent of each class that enters the
USAF Academy.

DELAND, Fla. -- A flight
crew from the Deland Comp. Sq.
(Florida Wing) recently located
a downed aircraft in a field near
Patrick AFB, according to Capt.
Charles A. Burkey, unit commander.
The squadron sent an aircraft
and crew to participate in a mission in the Melbourne, Fla., area.
Pilot was Lt. Col. Clayton, A.
Miller and observers, 1st Lt.
James W. Smith and 2nd Lt.
James R. Truscott.
Burkey reports that his
squadron participates in six to
eight search and rescue missions
each year, in addition to two
practice exercises. The unit has
five qualified mission pilots and
five trained observers and uses a
1978 Cessna 172 with full instrumentation for search
operations.

while in the Netherlands which
seemed much different to him
than American Air Force installations.
"It looked more like an army
base," he said, describing it as
more camouflaged than its
American counterparts and having fewer buildings.
Wade also attended the Air
Force Academy Survival Course
at the U. S. Air Force Academy
in Colorado in late June of this
year. The program covered
shelter building, catching and
preparing wild game, and a sixmile hike with a full pack.
Wade outlined the basic activities of CAP cadets as helpfd
in developing young people int~
future leaders. The work of the
13 to 21-year-old cadets includes
the study of aerospace, flying,
visits to Air Force bases, and an,
nual wing encampments. While
at the encampments, the cadets
live the lives of military personnel for one week, including
,marching and eating the same
kind of food, Wade commented.
Wade said he has advised
several of his friends to join
CAP. And they have after hearin g his explanations of the purposes of the organization. CAP's
most convincing appeal in
Wade's words is, "It's a good
organization to help people."

P-O-I-M Spells Success For These Cadets
By 1st Lt. RICHARD J. DERItY
B U R L I N G TO N , V t . - - T h e
cadets of the Burlington Comp.
S q . ( Ve r m o n t W i n g ) w e r e
overwhelmed recently when
they learned they had been
selected as one of the 1979 cadet
squadrons of merit.
As part of the notification they
were asked to inform other
cadets and senior members of
the Civil Air Patrol how they had
achieved such an honor. After a
long discussion the cadets asked
me to write this article and
describe the single point that

was upper-most in melr minds
as the main contributor to their
Success.

The Burlington cadets apply a
simple management formula to
whatever they do, be it a weekly
cadet meeting or a major
endeavor. They call it P-O-I-M,
which stands for Plan, Organize,
Integrate and Measure.
Here's how it works, l
"P" for plan. They carefully
plan every event and write the
plan down and the goal they wish
to achieve. Contingency plans
are also made just in case
something gets "fouled up".
B e c a u s e l i k e t h e w e a t h e r,

facilities, transportation or
some other thing always seems
to go wrong.
"O" for organize. Once the
plan is established, cadets are
selected and given responsibility
for all parts of the plan. The
responsible cadets are briefed on
what is expected of them in that
particular duty and who to go to
if they have problems in discharging that responsibility.
'T' for integrate. This involves implementing the plan
and is the most difficult part of
the formula because it requires
hard work on everyone's part,

such as carefully scheduling all
the details of the plan and the
order and time they must occur.
The Burlington cadets write this
schedule down and make sure all
the cadets involved have a copy
and understand the part they will
play in making the event happen.
The cadets make certain all
their bases are covered and obtain help from a senior member
or a parent as required. They
remember that the responsible
people must communicate with
each other and work as a team,
not as individuals.
To help anticipate problems
that could develop as the plan is
implemented, the cadets use the
"what if" test. What if it rains,
what will we do? What if our
transportation gets diverted.
The "what if" test cross checks
their contingency plans and
helps them to quickly solve
problems that may occur as the
plan is carried out.

"M" for measure. The final
part of the formula is called selfmeasurement, or the evaluation
of how well they all performed
their responsibilities. Did they
effectively accomplish what
they set out to do? Did they rheet
the schedule: Where did they go
wrong?
Measurement begins as soon
as the plan is formulated and is
constantly used as the plan is implemented. When measurement
identifies a problem, they apply
POIM to solve or minimize the
problem. The Burlington cadets
learn more from their mistakes
then they do from their
successes, that's how they gain
experience. They try not to
make the same mistake twice.
Well, that's the message from
the Burlington cadets, P-O-I-M
has worked for them and it can
work for you, too.
They invite you to try it, you
may like it.

The unit commander, Lt. Col.
Fred Hess, checked over the
parking lot of the courthouse
where they marched and then
asked the sheriff's department if
there were any lights which
could be turnbd on in the
driveway to light the area. But
there weren't.

Students from Overton High
School volunteered to be
simulated victims in the disaster
exercise set up by the Metro
Nashville Disaster Planning
Council.
According to the scenario, the
crash occurred at 10 a.m,.
Rescue squads, fire engines and
ambulances began to appear on
the scene four minutes later.
Symptom tags were placed on
the victims. Injuries were
created with theatrical blood
and plastic snap-on simulated
wounds. Farrar had "severe abdominal pains and shock," according to his tag.

The victims were rescued
from the aircraft by firemen and
helped out onto the runway,
away from the aircraft. A triage
tgam then marked the priorities
of the victims (dead, critical or
minor injuries).
Farrar said, "I was one of the
critical victims. We were taken
by stretcher to the ambulances,
which transported us to the
building where our simulated injuries were placed on us. The
'dead' were placed in rows."
The disaster called for a 707
but actually an Air National
Guard C-130 was used.
Organizations taking part in the
mock disaster, which is required
to be held annually by federal
law, were the Metropolitan Airport Authority, the FAA, the
Metropolitan Fire Department,
the Metropolitan Civil Defense,
and Civil Engineering Flight
which is Air Force personnel
stationed at the airport as
firefighters.

had already started and started
to tell his troops that the drill
sessions would have to be

Eastwood called from the
sheriff's office to say he had
radioed the Inverness Fire
Department who was on the way
with portable floodlights to illuminate the parking lot.
Five minutes later, Fire Chief
Gordon Tyner arrived with the
lighting equipment and said they
would be available each meeting
night, barring emergencies
requiring the lights elsewhere.
And under the instruction of
Army recruiter Sgt. Bill Cutting
the drill went on as scheduled.
Hess expressed his appreciation to the fire department for
their assistance and said that his
cadets are doing so well in drill
that they are forming an exhibition drill team.

M AT H E R A F B , C a l i f . - Hundreds of friends in the six
states of the Pacific Region have
made donations to establish a
scholarship fund in the name of,
and honoring, L. D. "Pat" Cody.
This fund will be maintained at
the Pacific Region Headquarters, CAP, and will be administered by a five-member

EL T Missions And The AFRCC
By Maj. FRED M. AYOUB, USAF
HQ. CAP-USAF/DOSS
There have been numerous
questions regarding the time
delay between ELT notification
and mission opening by the Air
Force Rescue Coordination
Center (AFRCC). Well, here's a
brief explanation.
The AFRCC "normally" uses
i a two-hour period from the time
of notification to locate the ELT
before opening a mission with a
SAR agency (CAP, USAF, etc.).
During this two-hour period,
reports are requested by the

AFRCC from the Air Route
Traffic Control Center (AFTCC)
and the Flight Service Station
(FSS) in the area of the initial
report.
This request is to confirm that
the ELT is still transmitting and
to reduce the size of the possible
search area. Lower altitude
reports are often necessary
because the initial high altitude
report covers too large of an
area for a single search unit.
As an example, an aircraft at
flight level 300 is able to receive"
ELT's within a 300 mile radius.
That equates to over a quarter of

a million square miles...Lower
altitude reports will permit the
AFRCC to bring the reception
area down to a manageable size
or possibly to a specific
area/airport, The various agencies the AFRCC deals with during this phase could include the
following: ARTCCs, FSSs and
fixed base operators'(FBOs).
There are factors which can
influence the two-hour period

prior to mission opening:
A mission will be opened immediately if an alert notice
(ALNOT) has been issued for an
overdue aircraft and an ELT is
being heard along the route of
flight.
The presence of severe
weather and an ELT may lead to
a quicker opening.
On the other hand, the
AFRCC may not open a mission~
for a longer period if they have
received only one high altitude
report late at night. Normally,
there are very few aircraft flying late at night and early in the
morning which prevents confirmation that the ELT is still transmitting or reduce the reception
circle to a reasonable size.
A mission may also be
delayed if the AFRCC is able to
narrow the ELT to a specific airport. If local agencies (FSS,
FBO) are not able to locate it,

the AFRCC will probably alert
the Civil Air Patrol f~r a handheld directional finding unit.
REMEMBER, the AFRCC
receives around 5,000 ELT
reports a year. Of the one-third
that are located, the Civil Air
Patrol finds about 85 percent. It
is interesting to note that the
total number of distressed aircraft found by ELTs is going up
each year...and with an operable

SIKESTON, Mo. -- Recently
when former CAP cadet Lee
Trowbridge was dying of cancer
in a Houston, Texas, hospital
members of the Thunderbird
Comp. Sq. there adopted him.
They donated blood for his
treatment and visited him to encourage and entertain him, trying to sustain him during his
fight against cancer, according
to SM William Stockman of the
Sikeston squadron.
In commending all members
of the unit for their help to their
son, Lee's parents singled out
two members, Pam Ralston and
Chaplain Sanders for their

special efforts to see and counsel
Lee during his struggle.
Although Lee was not a
current member, 1st Lt. Steven
Allen, commander of the Sikeston
unit, wrote to the Texas wing expressing gratitude and appreciation for the Houston personnel.
He said, "They not only eased
Lee's burden, but they have
helped ease our burden of grief
by providing a bright spot of
warmth of unselfish help. We
can only give our thanks and
hope you will continue to give of
yourselves to ease other's suffering, the true Civil Air Patrol
mission."

WENATCHEE, Wash. -- A
Minnesota man and his 17-yearold son were killed in a crash

The aircraft overshot the
Ephrata, Wash., airport and
crashed into Beezly Hill six

The last transmission from the

Weather conditions caused

to be aborted and prevented
takeoff from Moses Lake also.
Meanwhile ELT signals were
being picked up in the Ephrata
area and three separate ground
teams were formed. They worked through the cold wet night,
Atkinson said, converging on the

crash site at 2:30 a.m. when the
teams, working with the Grants

Harts Lake training area at Ft.
Custer.
Units from Group 5 in
Kalamazoo, Battle Creek,
Jackson and Coloma received
training in compass reading,
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation,
radio use and strategic planning.,
The compass course included
instruction in reading maps and
navigating through unfamiliar
terrain. The Kalamazoo County
Red Cross provided CPR equipment for a course taught by CAP
member Larry Taylor, a certified Red Cross instructor. The
radio course emphasized accurate transmission of messages
to units in the field, particularly
to ground teams on search and
rescue missions. The strategic
planning instruction was put to
use on a night exercise in which

the cadets had to locate a
specified target without being
spotted by a member of the opposing team.
The highlight of the weekend
was the arrival of an Army
National Guard helicopter from
Grand Ledge. The cadets had an
opportunity to climb inside the
chopper and investigate it
firsthand.
The Battle Creek Air National
Guard assisted the CAP
members by supplying tents,
generators, vehicles and other
equipment. The Calhoun County
Red Cross prepared meals for
the 50 teenage and adult
members.
Maj. Edward J. Sackley M of

tion 8141(a) of title 5, United
States Code, relating to compensation for .Civil Air Patrol
volunteers is amended by inserting after 'cadet' the
following: 'under 18 years of.
age.' (Applies to cadets 18 years
of age or older as this section in
original law specifically excludes cadets. )
"(b) Section 8141(b)(1) of
title 5, United States Code is
amended by striking out '$300'
and inserting in lieu thereof 'the
monthly salary of a GS 2, Step 1'.
"See. 2. The amendments
made by the first section of this
Act shall take effect on the date
of the enactment of this Act and
shall apply only with respect to
injuries or deaths occurring on
or after such date of enactment."
R_R. 4239 relates to the annual excise tax charged all civil
aircraft in the United States.
The measure exempts CAP aircraft from paying the tax if such
aircraft are used in search and
rescue missions by the Civil Air
Patrol.
The bill was assigned to the
House Committee on Ways and
Means. According to Lt. Colonel
John Swain, CAP, a member of
the CAP Legislative Liaison
Committee, the contents of this
bill may be added to another
measure backed by General

should come early in 1980. The
big push for the CAP Supply Bill
will be to get it-passed by the
Senate. If this is done, the House
will probably go along, since the
bill has previously passed in
that chamber.
The other three proposed laws
were introduced into the 1979
session of Congress by Rep.
Leslter L. Wolff (Dem., N.Y.).
Wolff, an original member of the
Civil Air Patrol, flew CAP antisubmarine patrols during World
War II. He is commander of the
Congressional Squadron which
includes members of Congress
and members of their staffs.
In details, his bills are as
follows:

H.R. 4~ reiatest0 the c~:

pensation paid CAP members
who suffer death or disability
while on official Air Forceauthorized missions. The bill
would authorize CAP cadets
over age 16 to i'eceive the same
compensation as senior
members, and would entitle both
to benefits computed on a deemed monthly salary of a GS-2, Step
1.
The bill was assigned to the
House Committee on Education
and Labor. Prospects for its
passage are believed to be good.
The text of the bill is as follows:
"Be it enacted...That (a) sec-

Aviation. This would, he said,
help to insure its passage.
The text of the measure is as
follows:
"Be it enaeted...That section
4493 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954 (special rules
relating to tax on the use of civil
aircraft) is amended by adding
at the end thereof the following
new sub-section:
"(c) Exemption of Civil Air
Patrol Corporation Aircraft. -No tax shall be imposed by Section 4491 on any aircraft owned
and operated by Civil Air Patrol
if such aircraft are used in
search and rescue missions by
the Civil Air Patrol'.
"See. 2. This amendment
made by this Act shall take
effect upon approval of this
Act."
H.J. Res. 346 is a proposed
Joint Resolution. As indicated
,previously, it would authorize
the President to proclaim Dec. 1
each year as "National Civil Air
Patrol Day." The key part of the
text of this measure is as
follows:
Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in

If passed, the wording in the
resolution would be changed to
read "beginning December 1,
1980." The proposal, upon its introduction, was assigned to the
Committee On Post Office and
Civil Service.
Swain indicated that, to get the
measure passed, it would be
necessary to secure 218 additional sponsors in the House of
Representatives. This, he said,
should not be.too difficult.
CAP Col. George Liebner,
chairman
of
CAP's
Congressional Liaison .... Committee,-urges that Civil Air
Patrol members write their own
Senators and Representatives as
constituents, asking them to cosponsor S. 1629 and H.R. 1200
(the CAP Supply Bill).
CAP membes should also urge
their Senators and Representatives to help .get the various
other measures passed. In
writing, members should refer
to the proposed legislation b.y the
official numbers of the various
bills.
The new CAP national commander, Brig. Gen. Johnnie
Boyd asks that every CAP
member pitch in and help get the
legislative support.
