WHITE FALCON
Strikes
n
Spares
by Clint Neal
The American League re-
mained nearly the same
as NSGA #1 zoomed past
Rockville and managed
to salvage three points
for the night’s effort to
maintain the top spot. The
National League remains almost
the same as the top three teams
all won three points and Public
Works leads this league by one
point.
In the International League a
little different story unvieled it-
self. AFI #3 continued their win-
ing ways taking four points and
the top spot as NISO slipped to
second by losing two and a half
points. AFI #3 has the lead by
one half point.
American League
As I said last week, this name
would reappear: Haims of the
medical team. He slammed a big
231 single game scratch. John
Emmert of OMD-1 returned to
normal with a fine 603 scratch
series. J. Johnson of AFI #1 took
all handicap honors with a 236
single and 628 series.
National League
I said the name Roberts of the
Commissary teams would appear
again, too. Of course, I could say
this of anyone in the League and
bat a thousand, for with all the
good bowlers I see, most of them
make the score board. For in-
stance, Robbie Roberts hit a 243
single and a 615 series scratch
and held on for handicap honors,
too, with a 246/624.
International League
Baldy Dudley of NISO strikes
again., .well, maybe more than
once as he recorded a fine 228
single scratch and 236 single game
handicap. Hess of NavCOMSta
#3 took the series honors with a
fine 570 scratch and 618 handi-
cap. Speaking of NCS #3, look
out this is the third week in a
row they have taken four points.

DOD Sets
Allowance
Enlisted personnel will re-
cieve a 16.7 percent boost in
monthly clothing mainten-
ances beginning July 1 in
line with higher prices in
clothing sales stores.
Department of Defense has also
hiked the initial clothing allow-
ance about 26.7 percent and upped
the extra allowance for certain
personnel.
It is estimated these increases
will cost about $60 million more
than what is required under the
current allowance system.
Previously, it was announced
that clothing sales store prices
would rise in FY67. Reason given
was that manufacturer’s costs had
risen.
The new, higher rates are based
on latest prices approved by De-
fense Supply Agency for the ini-
tial issue and minor changes in
the required items.
Parachutes
Bloom on 4th
While you were probably grabbing a hot dog at the Fourth
of July picnic, six members of the Parachute Club of
America were diving from 3600 feet out of a U6 Beaver
aircraft about six miles north of Reykjavik at Sandskeid.
The club, now composed of 15®"
members started in September
1965. Heading the club is Jean
Cole, Area Safety Officer for the
parachutists. Buddy Eans, has
completed 220 jumps.
One of the members of the
parachuting club, Bob Pope re-
lated that the members already
have made four series of jumps
since May of this year. He started
jumping back at Arkansas State
College in Jonesboro, Ark. when
a roommate of his aroused his in-
terest in parachuting as a sport.
Since that time he has made
forty successful leaps.
Pilot for the sky divers and
jumpers is Lt. Col. Tandy Wright,
IDF, J3.
Before these man are allowed
to make a jump, they must hove
at least two weeks training. The
jumpers are taught how to land
safely, proper exits from the air-
craft, and how to handle emer-
gencies. According to Pope a para-
chutist when sky diving may fall
for as much as 10 seconds (about
1100 feet) before pulling the rip-
cord to open his parachute. He
also said that the lowest altitude
one can fall to safely open a para-
chute is about 2500 feet.
The parachute team here has
also aided and helped train the
Icelandic Rescue Squadron. If nec-
essary, Pope added, the club mem-
bers could be used to drop into
isolated areas to help injured per-
sons unapproachable by other
means.
It’s an interesting and exciting
way to spend a Fourth of July
afternoon, and those persons in-
terested in joining the club can
contact Bob Pope at extension
2130.

Paif Hike
Cxpected
The 3.2 percent pay increase
for uniform services personnel ap-
proved unanimously by the House
Armed Services Committee has
received support of DOD man-
power officials.
The proposed increase would be
effective July 1.
Rep. L. Mendel Rivers, (D.-
S.C.), said the Executive branch
will not oppose the pay hike and
agrees such an “increase in pay
.... would be comparable to that
recently recommended for civilian
employees.”
The legislation authorizing the
increase is incorporated in a pro-
curement authorization bill now
under consideration by the com-
mittee. (AFNB)
