WASHINGTON--Senator J. Caleb Boggs, of Delaware, was one of the nearly 200
members of congress who were honored guests at the recent 20th Anniversary Congressional Banquet held in the nation's capital. Like his fellow congressmen, Senator Boggs sat

Capt. Mary Elizabeth McCall,
the featured cadet speaker, made
her stirring address on "What

Senator Boggs was so impressed
with the evening, that he made his
opinions a matter of public record
by having them entered in the Congressional Record for May 10.
The following is a complete extract of Senator Boggs' entry in
the record:

Approximately 500 additional searchers from the Miss. Highway

They were each given emergency
rations and a supply of water that
had to last through the five days.
Whatever food was consumed had
to be found by the trainees.
They were taught to set various
types of snares, and were lectured
morning and afternoon on the
tricks of survival, providing emergency shelters, finding dry firewood, lighting a fire with flint and
steel and how to keep warm and
dry even in the stormiest weather.
The four high school boys were
commended by Lt. Leonard L. Aucoin, USA, acting OIC of the Navy
Arctic Survival School. "These
boys took the training voluntarily
and did a fine job. It made quite
an impression on the Navy men
for whom this training is a must,"
he said.
Participation in survival training is a regular part of the annual
scheduled training for many of the
Maine Wing units.

Pennsylvania Unit Joins
In Reserve Recovery Test

\.\

Otis Air Force Base was simulating a return from a nuclear attack. When the aircraft landed,
the Civil Air Patrol security team
and the reserve air policy immediately secured the area, while the
crew remained inside the aircraft.
Civil Air Patrol personnel trained
in radiation monitoring determined
the amount of radiation and the
CAP decontamination crew proceeded to decontaminate the
plane, so when declared "clean" it "
would be ready to return to active
duty.
CHECKING the crew for radiation and injuries was performed by
the radiation monitors and the
CAP medical unit respectively. The
crew, other than the injured, were
first taken to the decontamination
tent and then to intelligence where
they presented their flight papers.
In the meantime, the USAF Reserve maintenance crew were
checking the aircraft and making
necessary repairs. When this was
completed all personnel in contact
with the aircraft reported to the
deQontamination tent.

As I looked over the expanse of the Presidential and

ENCAMPMENTS... With summer encampment sites all selected,
encampment commanders should be reviewing CAPM 50.10. Staffs
should have been selected and commanders should have paid at least
one visit to encampment sites accompanied by wing liaison officers.
Good encampments are not an accident--they are the result of good
planning and frequent pre-encampment meetings of the staff appointed.

REPORTS . . . The national chaplain has requested CAP chaplains participating in encampments this summer to submit a report
with the encampment commander's final report. Format is indicated
in the May issue of the Cadet Training Newsletter.

SAFETY . . . CAP unit commanders were reminded this
month that the positions of unit safety officers should be manned
and the name of the officer appointed forwarded to National
Headquarters.
TESTING . . . Commanders and Communications officers are reminded that CAPR 100-2 establishes a proficiency test for radio
operators. The reg states that CAP radio stations may he operated
only by members who hold a valid CAP Radio Operator Proficiency
card.
FIREARMS . . . National is still occasionally receiving requests
from the field for procurement of firearms, especially rifles The feeling at National is that CAP is a civilian organization with a noncombat mission. For this reason, rifles have been excluded from the
authorized list of items for donation to CAP.
UNIFORMS . . . Drill teams participating in' this year's Na.
tlonal Drill Competition at the Air Force Academy will be closely
graded on uniforms. Improper wear of non.official items could
reduce the chances of a participating team, so wing and region
commanders are urged to be critical to insure acceptable uniform.

PHOTO CAPTIONS . . . CAP Form 89, Still Photo Caption, is
intended as an aid to information officers who submit photos to
National to provide full indentification. Frequently many excellent
photos from the field cross the CAP TIMES editor's desk, but cannot
be used due to lack of such data as complete names, etc. Proper use
of the photo caption form will increase the chances of photos being
used.

PIFLASH REPORTS... Information officers are reminded that
PIFLASH reports are designed to get information on missions to national as quickly as possible in a format that lends itself to a rewrite

Banquet committee last month. Capt. Sternfeld was the Israeli
escort officer for CAP cadets visiting Israel in last year's International Air Cadet Exchange, and Col. Friedmann was the
USAP escort officer for the group. Col. Friedmann, who was National Headquarters project officer for the banquet, admires
the minature key tie-clasp which is a replica of the presentation

Israeli escort officer for CAP cadets.

Capt. Sternfeld dropped in at the
Statler Hilton Hotel in Washington
last month to visit the Congressional Banquet press room and renew acquaintances with Lt. Col.
Joseph H. Friedmann, USAF, chief
of information for CAP. Col. Friedmann was USAF escort for CAP
cadets visiting Israel last summer.
In an interview, Capt. Sternfold praised Civil Air Patrol and
spoke highly of the CAP cadets
who were guests of his country
in 1961.
"The CAP cadets were an exc e l l e n t g r o u p , " h e s a i d . " We a r e
looking forward to hosting another

exciting three weeks planned for
them."
The Israeli officer said enthusiasm for the IACE was running
high in his country and that Israeli cadets were looking forward
to their visit to the U.S. on the
exchange next month. The Israeli
cadets will visit Nebraska, where
they will be hosted by the Neb r a s k a W i n g o f C A P.
Capt. Sternfeld explained that
Israeli cadets belong to GadnaAv i r, a c i v i l i a n o r g a n i z a t i o n v e r y

Invitations to President
Must Follow Channels

ELLINGTON AFB--A recent communique from The White
House, directed to CAP's National Commander by Brig. Gen. Godfrey T. McHugb, Air Force Aide to the President, has disclosed an
embarrassing situation developing from some over-enthusiastic CAP
members. Following the visit to The White House by 52 honor
cadets May 7, a flood of mail is being received at the Executive
Mansion from well-intending CAP members.
Mail directed to President Kennedy by our members consists
largely of invitations to visit CAP summer encampments, squadron meetings, and various CAP activities. Actions of this type impair CAP's excellent relations with The White House, and may
jeopardize future considerations by the President.
National CAP policy, adopted by the National Board, authorizes
only two persons--the National Commander and the Chairman of
the National Board or their specially designated representatives-direct contact with The White House on behalf of CAP. Carefully
considered and justified CAP requests to The White House should
be directed to National Headquarters through normal CAP channels.

MaJ. D. P. Moskin, Commanding
Officer and sponsor of this project
for Squadron #30, San Francisco,
hopes that this training will result
in the saving of lives and property
in the many situations that spell
disaster.
Aware that statistics have shown
one major calamity occurring in
the United States every month, and
a minor or lesser disaster almost
every week, the group wants to be
prepared to render assistance
wherever it might be needed. As
natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires, violent storms, etc. seldom give any
warning; these seniors are learning to act without notice and with
only heads and hands for tools if
necessary.
T H E F O U R - PA R T p r o g r a m
progresses from (I) the individual
and his personal attitude and adjustment to emergency; through
the Family (II), the Squadron
(III) to the community disaster
plans which will be taught by
guest instructors from the Civil
Defense, Disaster Council and the
Red Cross.
Ta k i n g a c l e a r l o o k a t e m e r gency actions in these four separate situations will give the individual the security of the self confidence to take the lead in such
situations. As an individual, the
member must know first of all how
to evaluate his personality assets
and liabilities, to weigh his training and experiences against the
requirements of disaster. 'He must
take into account any physical
limitations he might have, and
know what additional training he
may need. He can then and only
then be able to decide whether to
"rush to the rescue" or be more
of a help by staying out of the
way, according to hiJ capabilities
and usefulness.

his own family is safe or cared for.
As a person feels his first loyalty
and responsibility to his nearest
and dearest, he must evaluate the
family position in case of emerg e n c y. I n d i v i d u a l p l a n s m u s t b e
made by each member according to
his own family needs. Planning
rendezvous, sheltered places, emergency equipment, etc., is the most
sensible approach to family safety.
Experts are agreed that the
greatest family safety is with a
larger group. The CAP Squadron can, as a group, provide a
"community of security" for the
families of their members in
any area. A functioning unit
with pre-planned and trained
specialties in such matters as
sanitation, food, shelter, first aid,
communications, child care, etc.
Is the ideal situation. The pos.
slbility for such a group is inherent in almost every CAP
squadron. As a unlt, it can then
turn to help the community of
which it is s part.
The local disaster council or CD
authority can safely assign a specific duty or project to this type
of highly effective group in full
confidence.
This type of disaster plan will
b e s u c c e s s f u l l y e ff e c t i v e i f m o r e
emphasis is placed on clear thinking and careful planning. The
members feel if this project can
be termed a real success, it will
be the beginning of many individual specialized courses in first
aid, fire fighting, survival, woodscraftsmanship, communications,
etc. Each person will train for
his special job, and be ~ble and
ready to be listed as an asset to
both his squadron and his community.
Squadron 30 is aiming, not only
to keep in step, but to be one jump
ahead -- if disaster should strike.

Flying Activities to End
At Historic Boiling AFB
BOLLING AFB -- This Air
Force base, which for 13 years
was the permanent home of Civil
Air Patrol, will soon cease nearly
all flying activities.
For more than forty years Belling Air Force Base, District of
Columbia, has been involved in almost every history-making event
in the growth of air power in this
nation. Other than helicopter operations, flying will be transferred
to Headquarters Command's And r e w A F B a f e w m i l e s a w a y.
Civil Air Patrol, under the command of Col. Earle L. Johnson, established its headquarters at Boiling in February 1946. During August of 1959, national moved to

M a j . G e n . Wa l t e r R . A g e e ( 1 9 5 6 1959) and Brig. Gen. Stephen D.
McElroy.
The deactivation of flying at this
historic base is not taps, rather
it is a salute to a new use for the
site made necessary by Department
of Defense requirements.
New permanent barracks and
related facilities for unmarried
military person n, el who work at

Defense Headquarters will be
constructed at Boiling. Plans
call for a new Defense office
building for 10,000 employees on
this site.
During its long history Belling
probably has been host to more
American presidents than any other Air Force base. Presidents arriving at Boiling for presentations,
inspections and to deliver speeches
were Woodrow Wilson, Warren G.
Harding, Calvin Cooligde, Herbert
H o o v e r, F r a n k l i n D . R o o s e v e l t ,
Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhewer and John F. Kennedy.
A program including a symbolie
last flight from Boiling will be
held on July I. There will be
wreath-laying ceremonies in nearb y A r l i n g t o n N a t i o n a l C e m e t e r y,
a parade and review.
The field, which was named in
honor of Col. Raynal C. Belling-the first senior American officer
to lose his life during WW I
was officially dedicated by the Secr e t a r y o f Wa r o n J u l y 1 , 1 9 1 8 .
Belling AFB has had 28 commanders. The first was Col. Rutherford S. Hartz who assumed command in July 1918. It is presently

Hoser Memorial Competition Tests Skill of Navigators
By Lt. Geraldine Ostling, CAP ....... .....

..::... ,:.:

NORRISTOWN, Pa.
When on a recent Sunday
a Cessna landed on a small ....
field in Pennsylvania, the
pilot and his navigator were
touched by the shouting, gesturing
spectators that lined both sides of
the strip. They smiled and waved
back but before the crew could get
out of the cockpit they found
themselves up to their ailerons in
speeding motorcycles. They had
mistaken a motorcycle dragstrip
for an airport.
This slightly shook team was
among the also-rans in the C. R.
Hoser Memorial Proficiency Flight,
and while they didn't come into
any of the $1600 in prizes they did
learn something about a "moment
of truth" when it comes to navigation-which is partly the reason
for the Hoser flight in the first
place.
Sponsored by the North Pennsylvania CAP Squadron 904, the
flight is described by the commanding officer, Kenneth Hoser, as
"a flying efficiency contest."
He's quick to add, however, that
It is NOT a race, but a measure of
the airman's ability to complete a
200-mile triangular course with an
optimum use of time, wind, cruising conditions and precise navigation.
"The idea for the contest,"
explains Hoser, "grew out of a
course in navigation offered by
a Navy navigator to our squadron in 1953. After three months
of classroom work we decided to
fly a practice mission to see
what we'd learned. Our instruc.
tar was enthusiastic. TII tag

some advice.'
" We p l o t t e d a 2 0 0 - m i l e c o u r s e
which included Pennsylvania and
New Jersey with two refueling
stops, one in each state.
"The flight was to be under VFR
eonditions and it was agreed all
aircraft should be back at the
home field by 6 in the evening-and all were, except one. A phone
call about an hour later disclosed
that our instructor (who shall remain nameless) had gotten lost
somewhere in the vicinity of Sky
Manor, New Jersey."
The flight is held out of Hi-Line
Airfield in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania and since its beginning in
1954 the number of entrants has
quadrupled; the last two competitions has had well over a hundred

every state on the Eastern Seaboard and west as far as Indiana.
There have been husband and wife
teams, brother and sister combinations, and once, a brother and sister competing against each other.
This isn't strictly a family affair,
however, nor is it restricted to the
Civil Air Patrol. Any pilot holding
an Airman's Certificate of Private
grade or higher, properly endorsed
for the type of aircraft to be flown,
and a medical certificate, currently
effective, can take part. His navigator must he at least 16 years old.

in the speed-fuel decision, and who
achieves faultless navigation.
To allow for entering and leaving the traffic patterns of three
airports, all planes are allowed
15 minutes of flight time when
computing Actual Speed. Thus
Actual Speed Is equal to the
route miles divided by the Total
Flight Time less 15 minutes.
All planes must return to HiLine Airfield within a reasonable
length of time or if not possible
the pilot must phone in. Planes
which are unreported will be
presumed to be down and a search
will be started. The plane registration for the flight is, in effect, a
VFR Flight Plan.

Drive UrgedI
To Eliminate
Fire Hazards
E L L I N G T O N A F B , Te x a s
Home fire hazards can be
reduced by a properly planned
cleanup, according to Chief J.
L . G r e e r, a s s i s t a n t b a s e fi r e
chief at Ellington AFB.
In some parts of the nation,
cleanup campaigns have been held
by communities. Said Chief Greer,
"If one hasn't been started in your
town or community, this would be
a good project for the local CAP
squadron, thereby rendering a vital
service."
According to Greer, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters state
records show that 11,700 persons
lost their lives in fires during
1961. This figure is an increase of
about one life each day over the
previous year. Tens of thousands
ef other persons were injured in
fires.
Fires in the United States last
year destroyed $1,209,042,000 in
property, the largest dollar figure
in history, and almost a ten per.
cent increase over the 1960 figure.
"Fire losses for the past five
years have totaled nearly $5,5OO,00O,00O," Greer pointed out.
"With this amount, we could

THE FIRE chief pointed out
that a cleanup affords everyone
an excellent opportunity to concentrate on the job of eliminating fire
hazards in the home and place of
business. Ideally,, this vital job
should be conducted as an organized community-wide project.

To Yuma Unit
YUMA, Ariz. -- Fifteen members of Yuma CAP Squadron 508C
recently made a visit to the Marine
Corps Auxiliary Air Station at
Yuma as part of the unit's practical course in military aviation.
Led by Marine LCpl. C. W. Cahilly, their guide, the group made
a tour of airfield operations,
aerology and the Air Force's
864th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, a stolon tenant
unit.
Heading the CAP cadet group
were Lt. Col. Henry Stringham,
w i n g s t a ff o f fi c e r, a n d C a p t .
Charles Ludwig, Yuma unit commander.
During the tour the cadets were
given briefings on the theory of
flight, and the Navy's TV-2 jet
trainer. They also watched flight
line operations as three A4D Skyhawk jet aircraft prepared for
take-off.
At the 864th AC&W the' cadets
were met by Capt. William Rutherford, USAF, unit operations officer, who conducted the tour of the
operations center. The cadets were
able to practice plotting using the
squadron's radar scopes and
height-finding equipment.
Capt. Rutherford explained the
unit's mission in the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), the various components of
the NORAD system, DEWline, and
weapons such as long-range intercepters, ballistic missiles, radar
networks and ground-to-air missiles.
