PAGE. JULy 12, 1956 Rinehart Leaving, Joins Harvard Staff Dr. John S. Rinehart, research physlcist In the Research Depart- ment, is leaving the Station after being here for the past six years to accept the position of assistant Dr. John S. RiDebari director of the astra-physical ob- servatory of the Smithsonian Insti- tution at the Harvard College ob- servatory, Cambridge, Mass. Dr. Rinehart received his BS de- gree from the Missouri State Teach- ers College in 1934 and his AB de- gree in 1935; he received his MS degree from the Callfornia Insti- tute of Technology in 1937, and his PhD degree in physics from the University of Iowa in 1940. He holds the Army and Navy certificates for Meritorious Service, and received a superior accomplish- ment award at the Station in 1952. Among published works, Dr. Rine- hart is co-author with John Pear- son, research engineer, of "Behav_ ior 01. Metals Un d e r Impulsive Loads," Golf Medals Given By Life Magazine Ten Station golters, including nine men and one woman, were recently awarded medals by Life Magazine in the annual contest held in competi- tion with the holder of the National Open Title, Ed Furgo!. Tbe contest permits golfers across '&he country to compete against the national title holder. All roundS are played the same day with estab- I!ahed handicaps. Those posting a lower score than the champion are awarded medals by Lite Magazine. China Lake winners .this year, all of whom belong to the satellite Lake 00U Club, were: James Ford, Ker- mit Beaver, Grady Newkirk, John Medearis, Ralph Pinto, James Gal- Hen, Jonathan Rice, Henry Weciaa, AI Satterthwaite, and the lone wo- man contestant, Mrs. Paul SOmeson. Mrs. 8omeson was not competing with Mr. Furgol. She played in oompetitlon with Patty Berg, well- known woman goIfer. ~ "IT .JUST CAN'T BE" is the unspoken opinion of M/ Sgt. A. R. Broderick, left, and Captain J. S. Ball, right, of the First Terrier SAM Battalion, as they Inspect the odd uniform insignia worn by Captain John E. Seisslger. It seems that Captain Seisslger has received orders giving him a permanent officer's rank but In order to acquire it be had to revert to his previous permaneot rank as a Master Sergeant. DetaIls of the stran,e procedure are in the acoompanyinr article. BuOrd, BuAer Outline Areas Of Responsibility A recent strea.mlln1ng of organ- izations for more efficiency has re- sulted in vesting primary cogni- zance of aircraft fire control in the Bureau of Aeronautics, and that of solid propellants in the Bureau of Ordnance, according to a De- partment of the Navy letter dated June 30. "It is to be emphasized that this allgrunent of responsibilites is pri- marily concerned with the special responsibilities of the two bureaus involved and does not necessar1ly reflect any change in the respon- sibilities of any field establishment either of the Bureau of Aeronautics or of the Bureau of Ordnance," the letter says in part. " In carrying out their newly re- arranged responsIbilities, the two bureaus concerned expect to use the maximum potentialities of all the field establlshments which have developed special skills in the tech- nical fields affected. Much greater cross-use of the technical field es- tabllshments can therefore be ex- pected. If any changes in workload are experienced, they will not be incident to transfers of bureau re- sponsibilities but rather w1ll be the results of long-range planning for the most constructive job with ample notice to all concerned. "The two chiefs have but one aim in this realignment-to meet servcie requirements in the most expeditious and efficacious man- ner," it concludes. COMMISSARY INVENTORY SET The Commissary store will be closed from 12 noon TUesday until 10 a.m. Thursday for the purpose of conducting the regular monthly inventory. Marine Captain AMaster Sergeant For One Day Things were not quite what they seemed TUesday at the First Terrier SAM Battalion, as the accompany- ing photograph will bear out, when Captain, or maybe it was M/Sgt. John E. 8eissiger, USMC, appeared in a uniform shirt displaying Master 8ergeant's chevrons on the sleeves and Captain's bars on the collar. It seems that Captain 8eissiger had been promoted from a perma- nent Master 8ergeant's rank to that of a 8econd Lieutenant, on a temp- orary status, while serving in Korea. Recently he received word that he was being given a permanent com- mission as a First Lieutenant, while holding a Captain's rank at the time. In order to assume the permanent officer's rank it was necessary for him to revert, for a period of one day, to his previous permanent rank, that of Master 8ergeant. Thus the strange appearing uniform. Effective Wednesday, however, Captain 8eissiger was given a per- manent rank of First Lieutenant and at present is holding his Cap- tain's rank on a temporary appoint- ment. Navy Adds Demon To Carrier Force Washington (AFPS) - The first F3H-2N Demon, an all-weather car- rier-based fighter, has been deliv- ered to the Navy's air arm. Built by the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., of st. Louis, Mo., the Demon is a single-jet aircraft which com- bines an interceptor's speed and maneuverability with the payload of an attack bomber.

Propellant Safety Group Visits Station To Conduct Study Seven persons, collectively known as the Liquid Propellant Safety Regulation Working Group, were on the Station Tuesday and Wednes- day. Purpose of the group is to reVise safety regulations concerning the handling of llquld propellants In the Navy. The committee represents several m il ita ry establishments across the nation and is headed by Paul Terlizzl, of the Naval Air Rocket Test station at Dover, New Jersey. Others in the group included: Frank Mayes and Lorenzo Fernan- dez, White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico; Steven Krop, of the Army Chemical Center, Edgewood, Md.; Forrest Forbes. fro m the Wright Air Development Denter, Dayton, Ohio; Donald Graham, Red Stone Arsenal, HuntsVille, Ala.; and Ernest Campbell, a physical chemist in the propellants and Explosives Department at China Lake.

Property liability of Residents Outlined By Station Command A number of questions have been received by the Station Command- er with reference to the financial responsibility and liability of ser- vice personnel and civilian em- ployes of the Navy for damage to Government-owned housing occu- pied by such personnel and the carrying of fire insurance on Gov- ernment-owned housing. Accordingly, the following ques- tions with opinions of the Judge Advocate General, as quoted in OMO 12-1948. are presented in the Rock- eteer for information of all hands. The subject will be offered in two parts, of which this is the first. 1. "Is it proper to check a ser- viceman's pay for damage to Gov- ernment quarters w h i c h results from the negligence or carelessness of the serviceman where he is oc- cupying such quarters on a rental basis or in lieu of allowance?" or on a public quarters basis.

After his last viSit, he reported that many Station residents had ap- plied for benefits and also come in to ask questions about individual problems. Among questions and answers in typical cases he cited the following: "When I apply for retirement pay_ ments under the Old-Age and Sur- vivors Insurance program, must I submit a birth certificate to prove my age? I have tried to secure such a certificate but have been informed that no public record ot my birth is on file." The answer is, "In proving your age, it will be necessary to furnish the best evidence available. It there is no public record of birth, other types of evidence of age may be con- sidered. For example, church rec- ords of birth or baptism, old family Bible records, naturalization or im- migration records, or military, school, marriage and labor union and fra- ternal organization records.
