WHITE FALCON
Saturday, April 28, 1962
Basketball Lacks Number;
Compensates by Competition
Keflavik basketball made up in close competition what
it lacked in numbers when two forfeitures and two cancel-
lations offered fans the only two games played last week.
The first of these pitted Navy®'
Admin against NavCommSta dur-
ing the 6 p.m. clash, giving the
Personnelmen a win of four points
over their opponents, 34-30. Corps-
men Jim Gibson and Carrol
Moody were the twin-guns for the
winners with 13 and 12. Jim Goss-
ard, for NavCommSta, contributed
13.
The 7 p.m. encounter proved a
thriller as the Marines squeezed
by a tenacious USNSGA quintet,
38-37. Marine Bob Longyear
brought home the bacon, netting
20 for his team. USNSGA had
no high men, the scoring being
evenly divided.
Other basketball news received
from the Station Field House in
regard to more tilt action.
Officials are encouraging all
interested teams to contact Ext.
5191 if they desire to enter their
teams in the Summer Basketball
League. Teams must be formed
not later than May 23.
Briefly noted, the Volleyball
league will hold play-offs start-
ing April 30 at 6 p.m. to deter-
mine the station championship
between the top four teams. To
date, these teams are: AFI, Navy
Supply, 57th FIS and ComBar-
Lant.

Next week, five shows register
for our viewers’ pleasure. “Andy
Griffith” needs hardly any intro-
duction, nor does “Decoy,” an
adult adventure series.
“All Star Golf” leaves no ques-
tion in anyone’s mind, but the re-
maining two shows might be a bit
of mystery.
“Accent” will be on a heavy
note, bringing history, social
changes, politics, ideals, and cur-
rent events to the attention of the
world.
1, 2, 3, Go! is the title of a new
childrens show, and adventure
series, which stars a young boy.
Currently the rage of kiddie-TV'
in the U.S., we are pleased to
present it in Iceland.
LETTER OF COMMENDATION is presented Warren D. Hockman,
YN1, April 4, by NavCommSta Commanding Officer, Cdr James J.
McMullan. The commendation cited Hockman for, “evincing an out-
standing professional capabilty, qualities of leadership beyond rate
and age, and a social presence which directly affected relationships
with the Icelandic Government and other service commands in the area.”

NAVCOMMSTA RADIOMEN in the Message Center at the Navy
Hangar operating teletype machines are, from left: Gregory E. Weiss,.

Standng is Carroll B. Cole, RMCA.
Since the Navy assumed responsibility of the Com-
munications Station here last summer, many favorable
changes have taken place and communication coverage on.
and off the island has doubled.
NavCommSta provides communi-
cations for all military operations
at Keflavik and controls air to
ground communications with
MATS and nearly all other mili-
tary aircraft.
High security measures are con-
stantly observed by the three
hundred enlisted men and 13 of-
ficers assigned to the station.
About 50 per cent of these men
are radiomen who handle opera-
tion of the equipment. The other
half include electronics technic-
ians in charge of maintenance and
repair, supply personnel and yeo-
men.
NavCommSta operates transmit-
ter and receiver sites as well as
other outlying sites on the island.
It also controls the message cen-
ters in the Navy Hangar and
building 752. The command head-
-------------------------------
quarters is located in building
839. Commander James J. Mc-
Mullan, USN, is commanding of-
ficer.
NavCommSta was established by
the Secretary of the Navy on
April 15, 1961 for development,
purposes and became an active
unit under military direction of
the Commander, U.S. Naval
Forces, Iceland on July 1, 1961.
Speedy, reliable and accurate
communications has long been one
of the most important factors in
successful naval operations in
peace and war.
Radio is the Navy’s major means
of communication. In addition to
being very rapid, radio is the only
effective way of coordinating the
many activities of Naval forces
operating, as they do, on a world-
wide basis.
EXTRA CURRICULAR studies by two local Marine sergeants earned
