In accidents where loss OF life

made to the Coast Guard within
forty-eight hours. All other acci-

days.
Every report is required to be in
writing and must be submitted TO

A new form, number &C 1865,

making of these reports. These
forms are obtainable at all Coast

The form uses check boxes on

The other side Of the infor-

the shot was a stunt, however

should not be undertaken.
"At a time when the Ameri-

this fact: There are seven lead

Project officers on the solid

sure that Minuteman will ever

Congress, the usual thorn in

ties in the field. is less of a

There are probably two rea-
sons for this.
First, the missile business is

Occasional summonses to

harraSSment.
Information Policies Hit
There are strong complaints,
however, about information
policies. often the fire centers
on Assistant Defense Secretary

Murray seems to regard

A swing through the indus
trial and military complex we
have labeled Missileland pro-
vides convincing evidence that
the scientists. production men
and military officers in the field
are doing a superlative job. But
at the end Of such a trip, there
is still q nagging question:
Why are we where we are
missilery-in second place to
the Russians?
The first. obvious answer is
that we got started later. We
waited for the feasibility Of a
hydrogen bomb to be proved
and the Russians didn't, and
consequently we are several
years behind.
This explains the whole thing
away nicely, although 1t begs
the question of the wisdom Of
our course. But 1t does not
explain the fact that while re-
search, development. produc.
ton and operating efficiency
are high in Missileland. morale
is sagging and perplexity is
king.
Nor does it explain the wide
spread feeling out there that
Washington is a sort Of Big
Brother-always watching. but
not wanting to be bothered
with a lot of troublesome
questions.
Of Again, On Again
It leaves unanswered, too,
questions about off-again, on
again production schedules: in
accurate public statements by
officials that cannot be refuted
by officials in the field because
of security wraps; contradictory
stateme nts of detectives;
tangled lines Of authority; in
formation policies that swing
overnight from arrant press
agentry to alright security"
Too often, the observer feels,
distraught missilemen look to
Washington for guidance and
find the paths of responsible
officials criSs-croSsing like con-
trails in the sky.
Examples:
The Army is told to acquire
some more for land for its White
Sands range in the New Mexico
desert so the antimissile mis-
sile, Nike-Zeus, can be tested
there. But now there is doubt

Teacher Morale
Is Hurt Seriously

teachers must take up the addi-
tional load. often this means
classes Of larger size.
1.-THE current system is waste
full in terms of educational
services" DR.. Hansen says. The
proposed plan would put all the
affected coaches and other
teachers back on a full-time
classroom schedule.
The superintendent empha-
sized that the basic principle Of
the new program has already
been established with the COM
pensatory time off arrange
ments. 1t would simply be a
question of substituting money
for the current reduced class
schedule.
If approved, the new pro-
gram would cost the school Sys-
tenn an additional $4,000 a
year, according to DR.. Hansen.
It would mean additional pay
for ISL coaches and 276 other
high school teachers in such
activities as yearbooks, news
papers. forensics, music, dra-
MATES and cadet activities.
According to Mr.. Jankowski,
congressional failure to pass the
legislation may result in his
group deciding to stop coaching
all interscholastic sports.

quarters of the more than 1000
