SECNAV ANNOUN CES
 CNC CHOICE

Secretary of the Navy, John B. CONN., ALLY has sent the following AINAV to the naval estab1ish shaent:
 T am deeply pleased and gratified by the nomination today of VADM George ANDERSON to be the next CNO. The dec- ision required of ne to place name up for consideration by Secretary NC NAMARA and the President was the most difficult I have yet had to make as Secretary of the Navy for two reasons:
 1. The number of outstanding, indiv- idual1y distinguished Adnirals who are qualified for the job.
 2. The extremely big pair of shoes to be filled when Admiral BURKE retires.
 My proposal of VADM ANDERSON to fill those shoes was made following studies started 5 months ago when I assumed my office. I did not impose on myself any restri on that the officer chosen be from any particular field of sub specialization. Surface ship officers subnariners and aviators were all cons- idered. The range of seniority was very broad and attention to career pat- terms was decidedly subordinate to the judgement of the potential of the off, icers under consideration. To all of them, I express my appreciation for

their patience and understanding and my confidence that they will form up s olid- 1y behind Admiral Anderson as they have for so many years given their loyalty to Admiral Burke.
 The process just completed has given me considerable insight into the offic- CTS of our Navy. I have been deeply impressed by the competence and spirit of the office as we'll as their train- ing, loyalty and dedication. This in itself is even more gratifying when one realizes that the Flag Officers can bs no better than the officers and men of the United States Navy whom they comHn :. To these officers & men of the us Navy of all ranks & rates, afloat & ashore and especially those away from hone carrying out our ever-increasing res- ponsibil ilities throughout the world, I. express not only my personal confidence in your motivation, education, & train ing, but also the appreciation of the Navy 2 the nation for the sacrifices yo are making while serving your country"

Emergency air drops of food
and livestock feed are possible on
the Navajo Reservation. These
drops are being necessitatedb by the
unusually heavy snowfall, in some
places over 40 inches, that hit Ma
vajoland last week. The heavy, wet
snow did much to hold down travel
over the portion of the Reservation
that lies in north eastern Arizona
and north western New Mexico.
The heavy snow, drifted at spots
in the Chuskas and the Lukachukai
mountains to depth of 6feet, vir-
tually cut off residents of the areas
affected. A check on last Friday

The hiring for these projects will

At the Tribal warehouse, food is

airplane to land in the snow. The
depth of the snow makes for light
impact. and the package is not
destroyed. The foods include, flour
sugar, lard and powered milk.
The main roads of the Reserva-
tion have been cleared of snow by
Tribal Construction, Navajo Tribal
Utility Authority, and BIA Heavy
equipment. In some spots, roads on
the Reservation were cleared be-
fore the highways of the states were
open.
According to the elders of the
NavajoS, this was going to be a bad

Indiuns
to be Employed
By Dium ond Firm

Secretary of the Interior Stew
art l.. Udall reported today that an
agreement has bee reached be-
tween the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and Harry Winston, Inc, of New
York City, for the establishment
early next year of diamond pro-
cessing plant at Chandler, Arizona,
which will provide new job oppor-
tunities for the States Indian pop
ulation.
The Winston corporation, one of
the worlds leading diamond min
ing and processing firms and donor
of the internationally famous Hope
Diamond to the Smithsonian lnsti-
tuition, will operate the plant in
building to be constructed by the
Chandler Development Corpora
tion. The Bureau of Indian Affairs
will provide funds for on-the-job
training of Indian workers.
Plans call for a work force of at
least 200. Indians are expected to
comprise the major part of the pro-
duction force. Those from the
nearby ella River and Salt River
Reservations should especially
benefit.
At first the operation at Chand-
ler will be confined to intermediate
processing and polishing of prec-
ious stones. AS the workers gain
proficiency, however. it is expec-
ted that the Chandler plant will take
on the more difficult operations of
final processing of precious stones
and the processing of commercial
diamonds. The plan n is to be gin
training a small group of workers
and add a similar group each week
until the work force is built up.
The plant is expected to begin
operations about April 1, 1862. A
public hearing on zoning of the tract
where the plant will be loCatedwas
scheduled to be held in Chandler on
December II.
establishment of the pla Mt at
Chandler, Secretary Udal said, is
the result of negotiations carried
on by the industrial development
staff of the Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs with the Winston firm over
an extended period. These negotia-
tions were conducted under the Bu-
reau's program to encourage the
establi lishment of industries on or
near reservations as a means of
widening job opportunities for In

Labels. that Is. work both

When the label indicates q

frightful frequency closes
our eyes to the work at

Visiting any museum or

ing voyage Of discovery or
rediscovery. The only re-

Other Problems Apply
Although this difiiculty
does not beset the Opera So
ciety. many others do, and
1t may be of interest, to the
Washington opera lover to
know what they are. In the
first place. an opera COM
pany which gives sporadic
performances. however many,
but does not have a continu-
Gus season, has difficulty in
establishing and maintain
ing a personality, in being
thought : of as an entity.
Thus it is hard for 1t to
appeal to those who think of
opera as O social function. q
civic attribute, like the Ma
tional Symphony.
II the Opera Society is to
have q genuine season
and. as I have pointed out.
there are artistic drawbacks
to such q season-it must
have q home other than
Lisner Auditorium, and 1t
must rely on an orchestra
other than the National
Symphony. Lisner is pri-
marily a part of the scholas-
tic equipment Of George
Washington University. Its
rental is high (more than
twice that Of Constitution
Hall. on a per seat basis) +.
its availability limited, and
It's facilities are not ideal
for opera.
Likewise the National SYM
