POWER OF THE WHEEL
Turn of Fortune Almost FIoored
Queen Carolyn Harris Literally
BY AMELIA YOUNG
Star stan Writer

Fortune smiled on Arkansas
princess in the 1859 Cherry
Blossom Festival last night
after practically knocking her
down.
Miss Carolyn Marie Harris,
daughter of Representative AND
Mrs. Owen Harris of Arkansas,
was chosen Queen of the festi-
val at a grand ball in the
Sheraton Park Hotel last night
The selection is traditionally
made by a spin of a large and
gaily colored Wheel of For
tune, and the moment is al
ways tense one for the SO
princesSes in line for the crown
This year the suspense was
heightened considerably by one
faulty start, a near-disaster
which almost swept the Queen
to-be off her feet:
Attorney General William P
Rogers, whose job it was to spin
the wheel, attacked the assign
ment with such vigor that the
top-heavy wheel came tumbling
over. When it knocked against
Mr.. Rogers. he fell back, bump
ing into Miss Harris, who stood
to his right, and she in turn
fell back against Miss Alaska"
Carla Carter. A roar went up
from the audience.
1t looked for a minute as
If there would be a chain re-
action right down the line OF
princesses on the stage, but the
principals caught their balance
in time.
Handyman Needed
When the wheel was righted,
festival officials discovered that

Carolina and Vermont, mad

repairs in about Is minutes.
during which John Logan. the
master of ceremonies, told the
crowd: IN take two-thirds of
the blame. and give the other
third to Herb Blunck general
chairman of the EVENT.. for tbs
catastrophe. We've been tell
ing Mr.. Rogers all evening to
give the wheel a really good
spin"
Anyway" he quipped, isn't
it nice tb know we've got such
strongman for Attorney Gen
eral."
On the second try, two men
held the wheel from the back
while Mr.. Rogers set it in mo-
ton. When it stopped OH Ar

clapped her hands on her
cheeks and stood speeches.
with delight. AS soon as she
recovered her voice, she laugh

why not?" his companion
asked.
They work too hard" the
first seaman replied.
The next day the captain as
sembled his officers and said,
I'VE have it made. There is no
doubt in my mind that you
have gained the respect of your
men. They want to work |
hard to make you look good. |
From now on you are going to
find your job and life aboard
ship becoming increasingly
easier. The job will get done
without the necessity of giving
orders"
Moral Approach Made
The incident illustrates the
moral emphasis approach to
the job-one of the strong pill
lars of sea-power-noW being
followed by the Navy.
In May. 1858, Secretary of
the Navy Gates sent a letter to
commanding officers declaring
"the most successful programs
are those stemming directly
from the interest and direction
of line officers"
The message then pointed
out that nothing is more i'm
portant than personal example
set by the officers.
There is no possible excuse
for an officer who misbehaves
publicly or who is going
through the motions" the Sec
rotary asserted.
Setting an example is only
one part of an officers moral
responsibility, a Navy captain
explained. Another is to take
care of his men.
Men Make the Ships
THE greatest responsibility
of a commanding officer is the
human being on his ship" he
said. If the officers care for
the men, they will be good
men. We must remember the
Russians do not fear the ships
or guns we have so much as
the men on the ship. If you
get across this moral attitude
toward the job to the men, they
will make the ship and guns
twice as effective"
The commanding officer of
another ship used an magma
tive approach in getting across
to his men the historical ira
ditions of our country. Since
his ship was berthed for over
haul at Norfolk, Va, he decided
to take the men and officers,
one-third of the crew at a |
time, to Williamsburg for a j
day.
While there the men were
taken on a guided tour of the |
restored 18th century town, so
rich in the English back
grounds of our Nation. A picnic
dinner added to the esprit de
corps of the outing, and the
trip ended with a viewing of
the motion picture The Com
mon Glory"
Parents Invited
An inspired added feature
was an invitation extended by
the commanding officer to the
parents of the men to join
the outing. Many came, some
from long distances.
I'VE are trying to show peo-
pie they can have a good time
without beer and while having
a good time learn something
about their country and its
history" he explained.
An equally painstaking effort
to keep parents informed of
the progress their sons are
making is followed by one
ships commanding officer.
Every time new man re-
ports to the ship a letter is
sent to his parents or next of
