CLOUDBUSTER Ex-Crew Member Visits Aboard^ Now Has Wings “What is my ambition in the Navy? — well, when the day comes. I’d like nothing better than just to walk down what ever main street is left in Tokyo right behind Admiral Halsey, who will be riding the Emper or’s white horse,” explained Ens. J. H. Waite on a recent visit back to Chapel Hill. Ens. Waite re ported aboard this station as a seaman, sec ond class, in 1942. He was one of three members of the crew here to apply for train ing under the V-5 program. Advancing to yeoman, third class, and later transferring to storekeeper, he found that previ ous training as an architect came in handy in assisting with plans for remodeling the disbursing of fice which became necessary when that department was ex panded. Wanted to Fly When asked why he had ap plied for V-5 training at that time, Ens. Waite stated, “I al ways wanted to fly and figured that was my best opportunity. I wish I could have had part of my aviation training at Chapel Hill, but that didn’t become pos sible.” For his Pre-Flight training, Ens. Waite was sent to Athens, Georgia. He had previously at tended Flight Preparatory and WTS schools in Texas. His pri mary training was received at Naval Air Station, Ottumwa, la. Choosing to specialize in twin- engine aircraft, he was sent to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he spent some time flying SNB2C’s and is now classified as a utility pilot. He has so far logged 600 flying hours. He was awarded his wings on May 9th this year, and is to re port to NAGS, Jacksonville, Florida, for further training. m JAPOLOGY^ "Why didn't you tell me in the FIRST place that you wanted a $100 War Bond on there?"

Lieut. R. A. Raese Sports Program di rector and his assistant, Lt. Frank McGuire, watched the ac cumulating clouds Friday and decided that the bi-weekly games, scheduled for that eve ning, might suffer postponement for the first time in two years. Quick action brought competi tions into the afternoon when weather conditions were still such that the activities could go on. A keen struggle showed on the wrestling mats as the 67th and 70th tied with 38 points each. Falls and pins were identical and a variation of four seconds in time advantage was consid ered insignificant by Coaches Learned and Peters. A close final in boxing found the 66th, coached by Lieut. Joseph G. O’Brien, taking a 5-4 decision over the 69th. Lieut. G. A. Bankston’s 66th won a 50-26 victory on the muddy acreage of Fetzer Field as track athletes splashed over moist cinders and a slippery field. I Both the “A” and “B” teams of 66th soccer, directed by Lieut Page Three New Office Will Ensure Navy of Latest Weapons A new Office of Research and Inventions to guide Navy re search activities and ensure the superiority of American naval weapons has been established by the Navy Department. The new office, which is under the direct supervision of the Secretary of the Navy, was created by merg ing the Naval Research Labora tory, the Special Devices Divi sion of Bureau of Aeronautics, the Office of Research and De velopment, and the Office of Patents and Inventions. The office, headed by Rear Ad miral Harold G. Bowen who was director of the Office of Patents and Inventions, will assist in the adaptation to naval needs of jet propulsion, rockets, gas turbines, and numerous weapons and techniques still in a secret cate gory. Secretary Forrestal, pointing out the importance of naval re search after, as well as during, the war said: “Wars are fought primarily with weapons which are developed before the fighting began. Experience demonstrates that a nation at war usually does not have time to push through a new line of fundamental re search and then apply that re search before the outcome of the war is decided. Research re quires time. Application of its result requires additional time. Wars, long as they are, move much more swiftly than the re search processes. “During a war a nation usu ally has time only to improve and adapt weapons, the funda mentals of which were evolved during the preceding years of peace. It follows, therefore, that if a nation is to be scientifically prepared, its preparedness must be worked out in peace-time.” —War Bond Sale— (Continued from Page 1) take cognizance of this and de vise means to render proper service to this group of nearly 3,000,000 individuals so that they will not heedlessly cancel these established savings habits. “The Secretary’s Office is most desirous of having as many save as much as possible through these Navy channels for their own and their country’s future welfare. The facilities for the purchase of bonds of Series ‘E,’ ‘F’ and ‘G’ for cash through through regular issuing agencies and through the Personal Remit tance Plan will continue as here tofore, so that during future War Loan Drives and day-in-and- day-out the ‘Navy family’ will have ample facilities to continue to purchase these extra best in vestments in the world—U. S. War Savings Bonds.” She was indeed a sight to be held.
