I Will .. . NEVER Surr_ender

"I will never surrender of my own free will." That brief sentence states a basic obligation of every

American serviceman, an obligation never to let up on his primary job - defending his country.

The words are easy to say, tough to live up to. For nearly two centuries, American fighting men lived

up lo the thought behind those words, even though it was !l.10t set down in wrjting.

Today, it is in writing. The words are part of the Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forces.

Production Begins For Navy's Zuni, All-Clime Rocket

WASHINGTON (AFPS)-Pilot production of aluminum rocket motcr tubes for the Navy's nt•w air- to -ground Zuni rocket has started following the awa1ding of a $2 million contract to the Hunter­Douglas division of the Bridge-port B11ass Co .. Riverside, Calif.

The Zuni, named after a west­ern America Indian tribe, is ap­proximately nine feet long and was designed primarily as an nir­to-ground weapon.

However, with its high velocity and short time to target, it can :.ilfo be used in bringing down heavy bombers when suitable fuses are attached to its warhead, the Navy said.

The Zuni is effccUve in nny weather and is so compact it can quadruple the payload of p:ievious five-inch rockets. Up to 43 Zunis

The second section of the six-part code obligates each serviceman never to surrender voluntarily, and each com­mander never to order his men to surrender while they have means to fight back.

American fighting men met that obligation all through our country's history - from Valley Forge to the Battle of the Bulge and Hungnam Harbor. Today, with the principles of those men in black and white, no one need doubt that the American serviceman is prepared to fight until his job is clone. -(AFPS)

Prime purpose of the fair was to bring New Mexico's industrial minds together so that New Mexico manufacturers could see what is Leing produced across the state and tu give them a chance to explore ,first hand the needs of the govern­ment.

Of the $100,000,000 in WSPG disbursements during 1956 for sal­aries, construction and equipment, ,1t least half of that amount was spent in this area.

Project chairman for WSPG's participation in the fair was 0 . M. J. Roessel, small business specialist cf the Purchasing and Contracting

BACK TO NAIROBI: Still ri­cochetting from a case of TV eyes and water-lugged heads, an aggre­gation of whole Jots of people spent a sprawling weekend back in Ju­nior Nairobi at the ''Holay Flam­ingo-Highway House." After kill­ing the champagne for breakfast, the band muved out to the pool for a day of circus and carnival. And what happened: The guest.-; slop­ped eating, the waiters stopped serving, and the management stop­ped managing.

Ft. Bliss Remodels Nike System Display

FORT BLISS-The "Shaw Spot" of the Nike Ajax system, the only place in the world where the entire system can be seen in operation from one vantage point, is to be re­modeled and opened fou tours and classes sometime in September.

The demonstration rooms, locat­ed in Building 769, are expected to !become an outstanding Center fa­cility.

An air conditioning system is be­ing installed in the Building along with new light fixtures, a 50 man classroom, an insulated roof to help acoustics and temperature control, and a paint job fo11 all in­terior surfaces.

Black lights will be used to il­luminate the equipment dials, and spot lights installed to add drama and reality to the Nike Ajax pre­sentation. Curtains and drapes will be utilized behind the equipment to give a professional appearance for the demonstration. New wooden stands with fifty chairs will re­place the original wooden bleach­ers.

He is Maj. Harold J . Iseke of Oahu, Hawaii, who came to the Army Missile Testing Center from globe-circling assignments. He suc­ceeds Maj. Edwin J. Miltenberger, recently separated from the S€IV­

wide experience in Army ,transpor­tation techniques, takes over a com­plex assignment. Four branches

was promoted to first lieutenant. Back to Hawaii in 1947, he re­

ceived a captain's promotion while an instructor with the Organized Reserve Corps.

A jump to Japan followed as his orders took him to the Air Branch 9 of G-4, general headquarters of . Gen. Douglas MacA1ihur in Tokyo, I until Korean hostilities started. He then was transferred to the · Transportation Division, Far East Command.

Iseke was stateside-bound in 1952 to fill a Department of the Army Air Traffic Coordinating officer's job at Brookley Air Force Base in " Mobile, Ala. He was rewarded with ;i:·.

a major's promotion there. ~ A European assignment followed

in June 1954, as he was whisked off to Heidelberg, Germany, to be Chief of Personnel Branch, 8th Transportation Traffic Regulating Group. From there, he went to Frankfurt.

The 40-year-old Army officer makes his home at 416 LaCrosse St., where he lives with his wife, Marjorie, and four d1ildren, Har­old, Laura, Clayton and Patricia.

CAUGHT IN A DRAFT - "You'll never catch me dead in one of those short-sleeved. short-legged, so-called summer uni­forms!" Those were the words of First Sgt. Russell J. Gearou of Det. 2. U. S. Army Garrion. But Gearou's men heard him malte that s:!:atemenl once too often. They decided to "draft" him. They chipped in and purchased one of the uniforms in Gearou's size and affixed the proper insignia. They sneaked it into the first sergeant's closet and then enlisted the aid of their commanding officer, Capt. William P. Hall. Complying with Capt. Hall's order, the first soldier reported for Saturday training formation in his new summer shorties. "And he isn't dead yet," crowed fhe men responsible. "It just goes to show, you can never believe your first sergeant."

I.cadcrs 0£ small units will have in<'reasing responsibility in atomlc­Clge tactics.

Brigadier Gen. Charles W. Pence, (rct.) made this point at recent graduation exercises before

A second recommendation by the general WR.$ loyalty, which works two ways, to subordinates and to superiors. General Pence also urged new officers to "do your best with the resources available." "'l'hings get done by timely con­structive action. So do something," he said.

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jeneva Rickman and M/ Sgt. Duck­w01th. Due to circumstances be­yond our control, we couldn't serve a 1birthday dinner, but we want you both to know that you have our very best wishes.

Speaking on the duties and res­ponsibilities of an officer Gen. Pence ~aid the ability to ca;ry out the Army's miosion resides to an

it. . ever-increasing degree in junior r leaders.

The general urged the class to be proud to be infantrymen. "His lot demands greater courage, he en­dures greater hardship and greater danger. "To lead troops an officer must

be outstanding in character, know­ledge, ability and courage. O.f thc1;c, strength of character and in­telligence are outstanding because their foundations lie in personal in­tegrity," he told the new officers.

No other group within our so­ciety h:is a greater obligation to the nation than the officer corps, he said, adding that high on the list oi responsibilities is the duty of looking out for the welfare of the men.

"To survive he must have the best leadership and training which you have received and will con­tinue to receive."

The retina of each eye-the "screen" on which is reflected the images we see--has about 130,000 cells or dots. To print this number of dots would require a piece of paper 10 feet long and 9 feet wide.

"The degree of your success in f.. doing this will measure to a large

extent your success as an officer,"

F~,~~~~! ~~:~~~! ... th.I WSPG Junior League team defeat- 1 ed the Fort 'Bliss Junior League all-slars Salw·day 16-9. The win was the first any post Junior or Pony League team has won enemy g11ounds.

The Sands squad jumped ahead with five runs in the first inning and three in the second to lead their hosts 8-0 afte.ri one and one half innings of play.

Fort Bliss had their big inning in the bottom of the second; scor­ing eight runs to deadlock the game at eight all. White Sands came right back with three more in the third and added five runs of insW'ance in the fifth.

Caught with a ·shortage of 16-17 year olds again, the Junior league team was flavored with younger membens of the post Pony league squad. Pony leaguer Jim Harrison played a superb game at second; Frank Walden held third ;and Rick Frank Walden held third; and Rick Negrete was in center.

Lee Jensen was the winning pit­cher and also helped the White Sands cause with a four bagger and a triple.

Fred Angelias, Eddie Steward, Jim Walker, T. C. Burkett, Joe Gilliand, Bob McGarr and Tex Stewar1t made up the remainder of the Junior League squad.

Exercise All-American Scheduled in November

Exercise All-American, first of a series of field training exercises scheduled to be held by the Army during Fiscal 1958, will take place at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, du:iing 15 days in November, the D€partment of the Army announc­ed.

Approximately 19,000 troops will take part in the exercise, one of several tests to be conducted by the Army to achieve the degree of armed readiness necessary to meet its national defense demands.

Participating troops will include the 82d Airborne Division, an Op­erations Company of the 313th U. S. Army Security Agency Bat­talion, both at Fo11t Bragg, a Heli­copter Company, and other units I designated by the Maneuver Dil'ec­tor.

Primary purpose of Exercise All­Amer ican will be to train elements of the 82d Airborne Division in of­fensive and defensive operations under assumed tactical conditions. The exercise will assume extensive tactical atomic weapons capalbility for both offensive and defensive unit s.

Two troops tests will be includ­ed. One will test helicopter trans­port patrols from infantrv regi­ments to their objective. The sec­ond will determine the feasibility of utilizing air-dropned observers in enemy territory to acquire in­formation.

While making arrangements for the emergency tlup, Lt. Col. James P. Hamill, present chief of Ord­nance Mission, who was Maj . Ha-

l mill at that time and Commanding Officer of the German scientists, initiated and expedited arrange­ments to bring Mrs. Seiler to the States instead of Seiler going to Germany.

In a short time she arrived in EI Paso as a bedfast patient. After two weeks of El Paso's d1ry, sunny climate,, the pleurisy patient was up doing her own housework.

Because of hki many interesting experiences as a pilot that he wanted to write about, he enrolled in the journalism school at Columbia University, and wo11k ed as cub night police reporter for the old New York World. Later, he returned to his hometown to be­come editor of the Marshall Morn-ing News. .

After he hit African shores with the 88lh Infantry Division, his Army caree11 was further sparked by participating in three Italian campaigns.

A shor t tour from stateside Army post 1o post took him to Fort Dix, N. J ., where he r esigned his commission.

More tours through A:rrny bases here followed until he was trans­ferr1cd to Korea where he partici­pated in Arm~ activities at the Hungnam area.
