SOLDIER’S CHORUS
U. S. Ships so Old They Are Liability
to Navy Says Naval Authority
"No military challenge facing
the United States is likely to prove
more serious than that presented
by Russia's rapidly growing,
highly mobile naval force", Mrs.
Richard Grist, Sr., told the mem
bers of the Peter Early Chapter,
DAR at their September meeting.
"This, in brief, is the warning
voiced by the American Security
Council in a report entitled "The
Changing Strategic Naval
Balance: USSR vs-USA".
Prepared for the House Armed
Services Committee at the re
quest of Chairman L. Mendel
Rivers (&C.), the study - based
on unclassified sources - ap
praises the growth of Soviet naval
strength and the Kremlin's new
aggressive maritime position.
Today we read in the news
papers from London, "Hundreds
of American warships are now so
old they are becoming a liability
to the U. S> Navy, a world au
thority on naval power, Raymond
V. R. Blackman, warned Monday.
He said Russia is ahead in
new construction and has
built a navy “to be reckoned
with.”

SOLDIER'S CHORUS:
The Soldiers’ Chorus is the
"Voice” of the internationally
famous United States Army Field
Band of Washington, D.C. and it
comprised of 20 highly-trained
and talented vocalists under the
direction of Sergeant Major Gene
Coughlin of Detroit Lakes, Min
nesota.
Formed in 1946, the chorus
presents its own special arrange
ments of well-known compo
sitions, ranging from the world
of opera to the Broadway stage,
and from spirituals to patriotic
medleys.
The Soldiers’ Chorus has per
formed with the band in all 50
states, Canada, Mexico, the
United Kingdom, Europe and the
Far East. It was honored in
massive annual Jane's Fight
ing Ships, which he has edit
ed for 21 years, said: “The
U.S. Navy is the only navy of
any consequence which has
had recent experience of op
erating warships in real war
conditions. S o qualitatively
and quantitatively the U.S.
Navy ought to be first and
foremost among the top na
vies for several years to
come.
“All the same, prodigious
though the recent shipbuild
ing effort has been, especial
ly in the fields of nuclear
powered submarine construc
tion and guided missile devel
opment, the U.S. Navy still
has not overcome its block
obsolescence problem.
“Most of the U.S. aircraft
carriers, cruisers, destroyers,
escorts and minesweepers,
refitted or not, are a quarter
of a century old. War poten
tial though they could still
just be, they are becoming a
liability.”
Blackman noted that the
American taxpayer is “not
very enthusiastic about pay
ing for the building of new
ships,” and referred to statis
tics showing the Soviet Union
1961 when selected to sing at the
Prayed Breakfast for the late
John F. Kennedy, following his
inauguration as President of the
United States.
Notable performances at the
New York and Seattle World’s
Fair, EXPO ’67 in Montreal,
the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt
Lke City, the Alaskan Centennial
in Anchorage, on the Esplanade in
Boston, in Philadelphia's Robin
Hood Dell and the Hollywood
Bowl.
Considered by critics to be
one of the finest male vocal
groups now appearing before the
public, the Soldiers’ Chorus has,
in addition, performed frequently
on network radio, television and
in motion pictures.
The Soldiers’ Chorus will be
in Albany performing with the
United States Field Band, Oct.
19, 1969 at 8;00 p.m. at the
Auditorium of Albany State Col

has outpaced the United
States in new construction.
The Soviet navy was shown
as having 1,575 newish ves
sels in its total of 3,240 ships
against the United States’ 894
newish ships in its total of
3,360.
The Soviet fleet was esti
mated to include 65 nuclear
submarines, 320 diesel sub
marines, two helicopter ships,
25 cruisers, 100 destroyers,
100 escorts, 275 patrol ves
sels, 350 minesweepers, 125
missile boats, 350 torpedo
ships and 230 landing ships.
On the other hand, Black
man continued: “The nine
great postwar (American)
carriers, including the nucle
ar-powered Enterprise, are
the largest and finest instru
ments of sea power ever de
vised. No fewer than 90 nu
clear-powered submarines
have been built in an almost
incredibly short term, includ
ing 41 armed with ballistic
missiles.
“Most of the 35 frigates
built in recent years can do
the jobs formerly done by
much larger but now outmod
ed conventional cruisers. And
the 50 new escort ships, larg
er than most destroyers, will

Luke McKissack
to serve on
Sirhan case
Carrabelle, Fla. - Luke Mc-
Kissack, a boy who grew up in
Carrabelle, is one of a new
team of lawyers trying to save
Sirhan,Sirhan from death in the
California gas chamber for kill
ing Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
His father, Charles McKis
sack, Carrabelle realestate ope
rator and former employee of
the State Industrial Commission
in Tallahassee, hadn’t heard
about it until we read him a
clipping from the Los Angeles
Times, but he wasn’t surprised.
Luke, not quite 32, has been
moving right along as a crimi
nal lawyer in the Los Angeles
area since he was graduated
from the UCLA law school. He
was assistant district attorney
for the City of Los Angeles
before he entered private prac
tice-
The other two lawyers who
will take Sirhan’s appeal to the
Supreme Court are of Arabic
origin. McKissack’s background
is strictly Florida-Georgia.
The McKissacks have been a
roung Carrabelle for a hundred
years, and Lukes maternal
grandfather was Judge Roscoe
Luke of Thomasville- Young
Luke got his high school dip
loma in Orlando, and took his
pre-law degree from the Uni
versity of Florida to Califor
nia with announced intentions of
practicing with famed defense
lawyer Jerry Geisler, which he
did.
Mrs. William J. Mills, of Mea
dowbrook Drive, Blakely, is' a
cousin of McKissack.

Governor Lester Maddox in
his address to the conference
urged educators to stress the
teaching of morality and love of
our country, to ban sex educa
tion, to study films and text
books for unfavorable Influences,
to aid independent schools, and to
keep the schools of Georgia open.
In an attempt to re-identify'
essentials of an adequate pro
gram of education and deter
mine ways for implementation
the delegates to the conference
from all levels of education
discussed curriculum improve
ment, pupil-teacher ratio, public
kindergarten, improved instruc
tion, and adequate school finan

go some way to compensate
for the 200 overage, smaller
and elementary escorts.”
Blackman said the Soviet
fleet in the Mediterranean
contains the cream of the
U.S.S.R.’s fighting ships. “It
is manifestly not the sort of
fleet which could be sunk
within minutes of the out
break of hostilities,” he ob
served.
