In TALK AT PHOENIX MEET
Vice Chief Naval Operations Speaker At Banquet
OF Arizona Newsmen Attended By Late
President RoOsevelts Daughter

PHOENIX, Jan. 1.-THE U. S.
Navy's senior air officer, Adml.
Dewitt Clinton Ramsey, Sunday
recOunted naval aviatiOn's cOntri-
button to the victory of World War
III and then warned that merger
of the armed forces would fatally
compromise" the interests of
naval aviation and rob the navy
of perhaps its most effective
striking ARM
Speaking at a luncheon banquet
which climaxed the two-day meeting
of the Arizona Newspapers Associa-
ton in the Hotel Adams, the four
starred naval officer, who was born
in Whipple Barracks, Prescott,
pleaded for a postwar military or
ganization in which all elements
are "meShed." Let us not melt
them together in a shapeless mass, p"
he said.
The flying officer, who became
vice chief of naval operations Tues
day. traced the navy's string of sue
cesses from the Battle of Midway
in June, 1912, which he said was
the turning point of the Pacific
War, through the campaigns in the
South and Western Pacific which
eventually ended in Allied victory.
Pointing out that the record OF
the navy was achieved under the
present system of armed forces Or
ganization and the most desperate
enemy resistance" recorded in the
history of warfare, Admiral Ramsey
said:
Nov before the echoes of gunfire
and the detonations of bombs have
died away in the Western Pacific,
we are told we must change our
organization and become part of one
which at best I can only conceive as
possessing theoretical virtues
Through sheer weight of naval
air power" he said, 1--WE launched
the attack against Japanese island
possessions in the Gilberts, Mar
Shalls, MarianaS and-ultimately-
the Philippines, the Bonins and
Okinawa. These victories gave us
the air bases from which the armys
B-29's could launch their attacks
against the enemy homeland.
He said that the concentrations of
carrier-type planes at Tarawa,
Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Saipan and
Guam permitted the wiping out ~or
naturalization of enemy aircraft re-
sistance, provided security for ships
engaged in shore bombardments and
thus paved the way for successful
amphibious landings.
Carrier planes continued their
services up to and through the
landing phases of the operations
under the direction of the amphib-
ious force commander" the admiral
said, declaring that the aircraft car
rier proved itself to be an "indis-
pensable asset" in the ampbibious
phase of the war.

LOCAL RODEOS
AS Seen And Heard By
RED MYRICK

This past Sunday was a bad one
for rodeo fans and contestants as
well. A few of us local boys gath
cred around at the Rancho Grande,
sitting by the fire telling of the fast
ones we had tied and the tough ones
we had rode with an occasional
complaint about the weather.
At 2:30 someone suggested we
have a little show in the snow. The
results of the first go round calf
roping was won by Ricardo Mar
tinez; team tying by Tony Altami-
rano and Ricardo Martinez. Second
SO round, calf roping, won by Jim
Reed.
The exhibition bulldogging by Jim
Reed was enjoyed by all.
A special event that the guests
got kick out of was the father and
son steer riding contest by Danny
Miller and his 8-year-old son, Louis
Miller. The winner of this event
was Louis on a little Brahma calf.
We had to move Danny out of the
way to shut the chute gate.
Most of the local calf ropers will
be at Kinsley ranch next Sunday.
They are having jackpot calf rop-
ing and some matched horse races.
The boys will get lot of good prac-
tice on Brahma calves. These are
those fast little calves that you get
the big kick out of roping.
I will be seeing you at Kinsley's-

This Emblem Stands For Honorable
Service To Our Country

To many Americans the insignia above may
not be instantly recognizable as the Honorable
Service Emblem awarded to veterans OF the pres
ent war. But to every service man who sees it,
this emblem will bring back the trials and sacrl-
fices that millions of his fellows have gone
through to earn the right to wear it.
Many of these men may have sacrificed an
arm or a leg-or even been more dreadfuly
wounded, in mind or body, for the privilege OF
placing this emblem in the lapel of their coats.
If you not veteran you, too must learn
to recognize it, to have respect and consideration
for the wearer and to- give him the cooperation
and friendship he so richly deserves
Furthermore you can help others to recog-
nize it as readily as they would recognize the
uniforms these men once wore-and to join with
you in rendering respect and thanks for job

NO1. SOO4 81
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Colonel:
Well, see by the papers that you
walked right in the corporation
commissioners job, turned around,
and walked right out again. just as
well, because now you can come
down here where we like to see you,
and if it's recuperating that you
wish. where can you find a better
country to recuperate? Finest peo-
ple and finest climate in the world
(outside of the days that freeze the
tomatoes).
I think the weather man has been
listening to the radio and reading
those "ads'' about frozen foods, and
became too literal. And my Spring
er Spaniel pup chose those nights
that we're around 10 to Is degrees
above to decide about 3 o'clock IN
the morning that she wanted to go
out for a walk. Must have some
Alaska Malamute in its ancestry.
But about the freeze in the to-
matoes: One guy sez, Fine busi-
ness. First the OPA freezes the
price, then my assets got frozen ur-
til 1 got cold feet, then to top it Of
the weather man freezes my toma-
toes and that burns me up!'
But this weather wasn't cold. I
remember my Uncle Malachi telling
about one time in Ireland. He sez,
why it was so cold there one time
that 1 put a bucket of steaming
hot water outside the door, and
would you believe it, that water
froze into ice so quick that by the
time it froze the ice was still hot"
See you soon.
Best regards,
