Icelandic Engineers
Visit Naval Station
Petty Officers Get
Petty officers in overcrowded
ratings can now apply for a
change of rating in a needed area.
A new Navy personnel instruc-
tion (BUPERS 1440.5D) estab-
lishes a program for the adjust-
ment of strength between ratings
which have too many petty offi-
cers and those critically short.
Vice Admiral W. R. Smedberg
III, chief of Naval personnel, said
that he desires personnel of the
Navy to serve in the rating for
which they have the greatest apti-
tude and interest.
Requests for permission to com-
pete for a change in rating will
be approved if:
• The requested change is to a
less crowded rating.
• There is an allowance within
the applicant’s present duty sta-
tion for the requested rating.
• Qualifications for the re-
New Rate System
quested rating and eligibility re-
quirements are met.
Application for a change will
normally be approved providing
the changes do not cause an un-
desirable effect on the overall dis-
tribution of personnel.
Pistons as big as man’s body, anti-submarine patrol
aircraft, and TV cameras were the highlights of a base
tour conducted this past week for Icelandic stationary
engineers.
Twelve electrical engineers from throughout Iceland, at-
tending a two-week seminar in'
Reykjavik sponsored by the State
Electrical Power Works visited
the Naval Station, Wednesday,
many of them for the first time.
The stationary engineers oper-
ate electric power stations outside
Reykjavik. First stop for the
group was the converter and pow-
er plants. One of the huge diesel
engines being dismantled for per-
iodic maintenance was the focus
of attention. The converter plant,
one of the few of its kind in the
world, also attracted considerable
attention.
The engineers also visited
Hangar S-831 where they observed
maintenance on SP2H anti-sub-
marine patrol aircraft and visited
the NavSta aircraft maintenance
shops.
Last stop for the group was at
the AFRS-TV studios. Like all
previous visitors, the engineers
were much interested in the elec-
tronic equipment and enjoyed
viewing themselves telecast on
monitoring sets.
The tour was sponsored by the
United States Information Service
(USIS) in Reykjavik.

tion last Wednesday pose in front of a huge diesel engine at the

one of the diesels being repaired. The engineers, from throughout Ice-
land, attended a two-week seminar in Reykjavik.

Two new series are slated to
receive their first airing on Chan-
nel 8 this week. Merv Griffin
steps into the 6:15 slot Monday
evening, and Steve Canyon blasts
off in a series of extraordinary
Air Force adventures, retiring
Crisis from its 10 p.m. Tuesday
spot.
Merv Griffin offers a stimulat-
ing variety of quick and witty
conversation, fine musical enter-
tainment, and a measure of the
unusual and unexpected which
will delight as well as inform the
most particular television viewer.
This week Merv will host such
notables as comedian Shelley
Berman, opera star Roberta Pet-
ers, contemporary novelist Arela
Roger St John, and pianist-con-
ductor Peter Nero.
Steve Canyon kicks off his
series with orders to Kenton Air
Force Base to evaluate a new Air
Defense System, that of towing
three fighters behind a tanker
which would take them far be-
hind the present defense line, en-
abling them to meet any aggres-
sion much faster. Problem — the
new innovation is also very dan-
gerous.
This week also marks the final
program in The Witness series,
which will be supplemented by
Wagon Train, starring Ward
Bond. The final Witness segment
deals with the exposure of John
Dillinger, played by Warren Stev-
ens, an outlaw and a desperado.
Other noteworthy presentations
include a fast moving comedy,
“Marriage Marks the Spot”, on
Tuesday evening at 8:30. A U. S.
Steel Hour production, it concerns
a team of high pressure salesman
who solicit the help of a secretary
in putting over an important busi-
ness deal. Pippa Scott, Darren
McGavin and Julius La Rosa play
the leads.
Theater lovers are in for a treat
Thursday at 7 p.m. as Bell Tele-
phone presents Robert Goulet and
Barbara Cook singing Broadway
show tunes. Ballet stars Carla
Fracci and Erick Bruhn are also
on the bill.
Ed Sullivan starts off another
good TV-week with — you guessed
it — Robert Goulet, this time
teaming up with Phyllis McGuire
for a repertoire of pop music.
What more could you ask for?
