POWELL OF REX MEMBER OF GEMINI RECOVERY SHIP Larry E. Powell, son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Powell of Rex, is one more proud young man—a pride shared by all his shipmates. Ever since last December when his carrier, the USS In trepid, was scheduled as the primary recovery ship for the Gemini GT-2 orbit, which was postponed due to booster mal function, Larry and his ship mates have waited hopefully for the chance to retrieve the Ge mini - Titan 3, piloted by Vir gil (“Gus”) Grissom and John Young. Primed for the excit ing moment the men were not disappointed this time. As the whole nation Is aware Intrepid men were on hand to recover the spacecraft. In a letter to his parents Larry barely scribed the salutation before launching into details of the anticipated recovery by his carrier. “We have been chosen as the main pick-up ship for it. (I guess they think we are pretty good. Ha!) I surely hope nothing happens like the last time. I think It Is pretty good, being able to see something like that in person.” Larry went on to urge his parents to be sure to watch the episode on TV. He said, “With a little luck you might be able to see me.” And this advise his mother took literally. She carted her TV set down to Rex Furniture where she is employed and we doubt the proprietor saw much work accomplished that day. “I hope this doesn’t start a trend,” the boss said with mock jocularity. The senior Powells received a periodic Family Gram from the Intrepid’s commanding of ficer which is self-explanatary as to why his crew and their families take vicarious pride in the ship’s endeavors. Also just released from Fleet News Cen ter came the news that another Clayton County son was aboard the Intrepid: Lewis W. Tallant, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Tal lant of 770 Roberts Drive, Ri verdale. Wonder if these sea men know each other? The Family Gram: ABOARD THE USS INTREPID AT SEA — It’ll be go-go-go for Intrepid In the next few weeks as Intrepid finishes up her operational commitments prior to arriving at the New York Naval Shipyard at Brook lyn New York in early April. Before leaving Norfolk on March 8, we completed our Administrative-Material In spection (ADMAT) conducted by Rear Admiral H. M. Tuttle and his team of inspectors from Quonset Point, R.I. Admiral Tuttle and his aide personally inspected your man, as well as all of the ship’s personnel, and they were very Impressed with the smart appearance of all. The Admiral said Intrepid “is ready” to perform any mission assigned her. Five days of‘round-the-clock antisubmarine warfare and bat tle readiness drills began Mon day, March 8. Their success ful completion on March 12 was the final mark of Intrepid’s yearly competitive exercises. This 24-hour-a-day submarine hunt off the Virginia Capes cli maxed nine months of exer cises which normally take a year and paved the way for the Operational Readiness Inspec tion (ORI) beginning on March 15. The ORI is a series of drills testing the ability and coordina tion of all hands aboard work ing as a team under simul ated battle conditions. This in spection is probably the single most important factor in deter mining If Intrepid keeps the Battle Efficiency “E” won last year. And I say without reser vation, we are determined to keep it. Even while all these exercises are in progress, we also are preparing for Gemini again — this time, the manned three orbital launch, FT-3, scheduled for late this month or early April.

GUY LINES BY GUY BUTLER Monroe Doctrine is Dead In order to save face with Its own people and others, our government is not letting it be , known they are aware of the Soviet build up in Cuba. Having lost the Cuban “war” (several years lago, Washlng- Iton finds itself “tn a cul de sac from which it ^annot escape. Th® Russians have been sending, and will continue to send, missiles of all kinds and no doubt missile submarines into Cuba. They never did stop, according to most available in formation from Cuban exiles and others. President Kennedy allegedly brought Mr. Khrush chev up short and made him back down in the famous “con frontation” but those who know only accept part of that. Mr. K. partially backed down— he backed down publicly—but he never ceased to aid Cuba with men and machinery and missiles. The “Pearl of the Antilles” today is a Communist bastion In the Western Hemisphere and we may as well face it. Never again will be have a free Cuba, a Republic of Cuba, as we used to know it. The U.S. may as well drop the veil of secrecy and admit that we cannot, and do not in tend to stop the Russian build up there; that we are power less to do anything short of a major war. The Monroe Doc trine is a mere scrap of paper today. The present administration is afraid to call Russia’s hand in Cuba, Viet Vam or anywhere else. The land of the free and the home of the brave? You mean it used to be that. * * * Mr. LBJ is a great hand at trying to grab off the bloc votes and he has done very well indeed with it thus far. Now with medicare he seeks the senior citizens’ bloc vote. The life span has grown so much that the older people today a mount to a considerable number and the very shrewd el pre sidente means to latch on to it. The elder citizens bloc and the negro bloc give him a consi derable number of votes before NUMBER 97 In summing up, Intrepid’s sc hedule for the remaining weeks of March will call for skill and endurance —two quali ties which have always been “Fighting I” trademarks and which I am certain, your man will demonstrate proudly. Sincerely, J. G. SMITH CAPTAIN, U.S. NAVY COMMANDING OFFICER he ever goes to the post and nobody can deny that. * ♦ ♦ Federal taxes on gasoline are expected to go up another cent | per gallon. We now pay about । 32 cents minimum for cheap - gasoline and 34 cents or bet ter for premium gasoline. That will carry the average stand ard automobile 12 or 15 miles. Thus, a car owner living 15 miles from his work now has to spend about 65 cents to get to and from, plus the cost of his car, the :ost of his tag, the cost of !..s tax for operat ing his car plus his driver’s license. Wonder why they keep picking on the automobile owner? Be cause it’s easy money for them — the car owners have no spokesman, no defense and what happened to the old fashioned that auto taxes should be spent only on highways and : road improvements.
