A transfer here from the Mc- Donnell-Douglas Corp. in Loog Beach, where he was assigned to the Navy Plant Representative Tips Given on Re.ducing fuel Usage I In the past several weeks, the supplies of fuels, including natural gas, fuel oil and propane have become critical throughout the nation. In addition, the demand for electrical power has continued to increase at a faster rate than the generating capacity of available power sources. In view of this, the Office of Emergency Preparedness recently issued several bulletins on fuels. One requested all government agencies to reduce the con- sumption of fuel oil and other forms of energy during the current winter months, and the other was an inquiry to determine the minimlDD amounts of natural gas that would be needed for con- sumption at NWC by reducing temperatures in homes and office spaces, and by producing steam with an alternate type of fuel. Some means of reducing the consumption of fuel in homes are to keep doors and windows closed when there is a demand for heat, and to maintain the proper humidity in the home. If the relative humidity is 10 per cent, the temperature must be 77 degrees for comfort. On the other hand, if the relative humidity is increased to 60 per cent, then the temperature can be reduced to 71 degrees and still be comfortable. Humidifiers are generally available for purchase at stores which offer air conditioners. The accompanying table was prepared by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command as a design criteria for temperatures in shops, offices and other working spaces. NWC employees are urged to maintain temperatures at the levels shown on the table in order to help conserve fuel supplies during this crisis. For those having trouble with thermostats or other temperature controls, a telephone call to the trouble desk (ext. 2268 for offices or ext. 3371 for housing) will bring a Public Works Department repairman promptly to the scene.

(PGI Work Started On Servicing Air Conditioners A spokesman for the NWC Housing Office announced this week that Public Works craftsmen have started servicing air con- ditioning units in preparation for the cOming warm weather season. In order to put the air con- ditioning units into operation, it will be necessary for the craftsmen to enter some dwellings. These houses are old Normacs LeTourneaus, Hawthornes and Wherrys. Residents of those units who do not wish the workmen to enter the premises during the absence of the tenant are requested to contact the Public Works trouble desk by calling ext. 3771. Permission to enter will be assumed if no notification other- wise is received. I'LACI STAMP ....

These procedures are contained in Federal Personnel Manual and Civilian Manpower Management , • In Handling EEO Complaints Outlined Instruction Chapters 713. Spelled out in this information was a revised timetable for han- dling such complaints. An individual who believes that he has been discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin must first con- sult with an EEO counselor within 30 days of the date of thw alleged discriminatory act. If the alleged discriminatory act pertains to a personnel action, an EEO counselor must be contacted within 30 days of the effective date of such action. Once contacted, the EEO counselor will inquire into the matter and, insofar as practicable, conduct his final interview with the complainant not later than 21 days after the date on which the matter was called to his attention by the complainant. During the final interview, the EEO counselor will advise the employee who believes he has been discriminated against of his right to me a formal complaint within 15 days, and the appropriate official (or officials) with whom to file such a complaint. Officials designated in the Navy Department to receive complaints are the Secretary of the Navy, the Director of Equal Employment Opportunity, the Federal Women;s Program Coordinator, or the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer (head of the individual activity).

A Naval Weapons Center em- ployee, Dr. Arnold Adicoff, has med for election to the Kern High School District board of trustees in halloting that will take place on April 17. Dr. Adicoff, who is head of the Polymer Science Branch in the NWC Research Department's Chemistry Division, is one of the 13 candidates for the three vacancies on th.e high school board. He hopes to replace W. E. Davis of China Lake, who has served on the high school board since Decemher 1968, when he replaced Alhert Gould, Sr., a longtime school board member from this area. Davis, who is now the NWC Director of Security, chose not to seek re-election. The list of 13 candidates for the high school board includes two incumhents-Dr. George Albin and Rayburn S. Dezember-who are both seeking second terms. The other candidates, in addition to Dr. Adicoff, are Don M. Cross, J .

Air Operation Ranges Play Vital Role in Weapon Test, Evaluation By Jack Lindsey On Nov. 8, 1943, Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, signed the order that established the Naval Ordnance Test Station (forerunner of the present Naval Weapons Center). This order described the primary fllllction of the Station to be "the research, development, and testing of weapons ..." The formal functional statement reflected the deep concern of Rear Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, then Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, about the Navy's need to have a large, permanent research and development center in ordnance in operation at the end of World War II. NOTS, as with its predecessors, was established with the objective that the land acquired would be sofficient to meet the Navy's ord- nance testneeds far into the future. Although the original area of 630 sq. mi. was considered to be un- precedentedly large, the burgeon- ing scope of wartime needs soon required augmentation by the ad- (Conlinued on Page 31 Wide Area Phone Service To End April I Due to the pending reduction in the Center's telepbone operator staff, and as a first step in the mechanization of the NWC telephone system, Wide Area Telepbone Service (WATS) Unes will be discontinued, effective ApriI 1. All official calla to areas wblch were previously served by the WATS lines must be placed commercially, utilizing special blIlIng nlDDbers, after that date.

Blandy felt it was vital to the future of the Navy and the nation that the anticipated disbanding of the large-scale civilian scientific effort at the end of Ute war should be offset by a buildup of scientific expertise wiUtin the Navy. The result was the formal R&D functional ststement. But the informal ststement of mission, as conveyed to Capt. S. E. Burroughs, Jr., the first Com- manding Officer of NOTS, was in two parts - to buIJd a laboratary test-range complex where the Navy could carry on a large scientific program in weaponry after Ute end of hostilities, and (consistent with the name of the new Station) to support the im- mediate wartime rocket development program being con- ducted by the California Institute of Technology (CaITech), at Pasadena, for the Office of Scientific Research and Development.

A Naval Weapons Center em- ployee, Dr. Arnold Adicoff, has med for election to the Kern High School District board of trustees in halloting that will take place on April 17. Dr. Adicoff, who is head of the Polymer Science Branch in the NWC Research Department's Chemistry Division, is one of the 13 candidates for the three vacancies on th.e high school board. He hopes to replace W. E. Davis of China Lake, who has served on the high school board since Decemher 1968, when he replaced Alhert Gould, Sr., a longtime school board member from this area. Davis, who is now the NWC Director of Security, chose not to seek re-election. The list of 13 candidates for the high school board includes two incumhents-Dr. George Albin and Rayburn S. Dezember-who are both seeking second terms. The other candidates, in addition to Dr. Adicoff, are Don M. Cross, J . Craig Jenkins, Christina Mc- Clanahan, Anne Monroe, Robert Paaren, Philip Rudnick, Jim TiI1ettand Joe R. Torres, Jr., all of Bakersfield; Odis L. Turk, of Lamont, and David L. Eckert, of the Kern River VlIlley. The three candidates who receive the highest number of wtes on April 17 will be seated on the high school board July 1. In the case of the Olina Lake Elementary School District, three incumbents (Bill Porter, Annaliese Odencrantz and Dick Rusciolelll) were the only candidates to file and will automatically be declared (Conlinued on Page 7l plane used primarily for close air support of ground forces.

Air Operation Ranges Play Vital Role in Weapon Test, Evaluation By Jack Lindsey On Nov. 8, 1943, Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, signed the order that established the Naval Ordnance Test Station (forerunner of the present Naval Weapons Center). This order described the primary fllllction of the Station to be "the research, development, and testing of weapons ..." The formal functional statement reflected the deep concern of Rear Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, then Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, about the Navy's need to have a large, permanent research and development center in ordnance in operation at the end of World War II. NOTS, as with its predecessors, was established with the objective that the land acquired would be sofficient to meet the Navy's ord- nance testneeds far into the future. Although the original area of 630 sq. mi. was considered to be un- precedentedly large, the burgeon- ing scope of wartime needs soon required augmentation by the ad- (Conlinued on Page 31 Wide Area Phone Service To End April I Due to the pending reduction in the Center's telepbone operator staff, and as a first step in the mechanization of the NWC telephone system, Wide Area Telepbone Service (WATS) Unes will be discontinued, effective ApriI 1.

Blandy felt it was vital to the future of the Navy and the nation that the anticipated disbanding of the large-scale civilian scientific effort at the end of Ute war should be offset by a buildup of scientific expertise wiUtin the Navy. The result was the formal R&D functional ststement. But the informal ststement of mission, as conveyed to Capt. S. E. Burroughs, Jr., the first Com- manding Officer of NOTS, was in two parts - to buIJd a laboratary test-range complex where the Navy could carry on a large scientific program in weaponry after Ute end of hostilities, and (consistent with the name of the new Station) to support the im- mediate wartime rocket development program being con- ducted by the California Institute of Technology (CaITech), at Pasadena, for the Office of Scientific Research and Development.
