ROCKETEER PROGRAM ON COMPUTER MUSIC PRESENTED - Wayne Teeter, son of Mr. and Mrs. BUll Teeter, a sophomore at the University of California at Irvine, presented a musical program during Monday's luncheon meeting of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The program covered computers, music and basic work involved in having a computer compose music and print it out. Young Teeter played a few of the computer tunes on his Hammond electronic organ, only to demonstrate that the computer could compose the music, but it lacked the human feeling. The artistic hand was needed to complete the works of music. The college student first became interested in this field of study when he was employed in the Code 602 Work Experience Program last summer. He hopes to continue this line of study and possibly work as an electronic organ designer.

Freeman To Take Helm Upon Retirement of RAdm. Pugh Aformal change of cormnand ceremony that will bring to a close the Naval career of Rear Admiral Paul E. Pugh, Cormnander of the Naval Weapons Center for the past year, will take place next Thursday, June 'l:I, starting at 10:30a.m. on the Administration Circle. The ceremony will conclude 33 years ofservice to his country by RAdm. Pugh, who will be relieved by Rear Admiral Rowland G. Freeman, ill. RAdm. Freeman is being transferred bere from a post he held for the past year in Washington, D.C., as the Study Director of the Navy Enlisted Occupational Classifi- cation System. Like RAdm. Pugh, the new NWC Com- mander can look back to the early days of World War IT as the start of more than three decades of Naval service for he, too, went through rigorous pre-flight training before being appointed an aviation cadet and later earning his naval aviator "wings of gold." This, tbe final milestone in RAdIn. Pugh's 33 years in the Navy, was preceded by a year as Senior Navy Member in the Military Studies and Liaison Division, Weapons Systems Evaluation Group in the Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in Washington, D.C. Final Mi lestone The present NWC Cormnander underwent initial flight training early in 1941 that prepared him for service in World War II during which he earned the Distinguisbed Flying Cross and the Air Medal with four Gold Stars. Additional combat service during hoth the Korean and Vietnam Wars highlighted the career of RAdm. Pugh, who also gained administrative experience-first as com- manding officer of a fighter squadron and later on with the staff of an aircraft division cormnander. Subsequent to that, RAdm. Pugh was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, D.C., and for a year, starting in July 1963, served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Operations on the Staff of the Cormnander of the Sixth Fleet. Awarded Legion of Merit For meritorious service during combat operations in Southeast Asia, while assigned as Commander of Attack Carrier Striking Group 77.5, RAdm. Pugh was awarded the Legion of Merit. A Gold Star in lieu of a second Legion of Merit was later awarded to the present NWC Cormnander during a tour of duty which began in August 1967 as Deputy for Current Operations on the Operations Division Staff of the Commander-~hief, U.S. Pacific. For this outslanding performance of dul), he was cited for his role in the development of strategic and tactical concepts that were devised for the use of combat forces throughout the Pacific Cormnand. In addition, from 6p.m. until 6a.m. during the week and at all hours on weekends and holidays, the guard post at the Lauritsen Rd. gate will be manned, and all those entering the area will be required to have special permission passes or valid NWC Activity Passes to gain access. All military and civilian employees of the Naval Weapons Center on official business will be pennitted access beyond the guard postprovided tbeir activity pass has an "A" or "Rn designator. Dr. Thomas Stephenson Heliport Dedication Program Set Saturday Prior to the assigrunent in Washington, D.C., that preceded his transfer to the Naval Weapons Center, RAdm. Pugh was Com- mander of U.S. Naval Forces in the Marianas, with additional duty as Com- mander in Chief of the Pacific Represen- tative for the Guam / Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. To avoid mass pass changes, personnel eligible for, but without an " R" on their pass, will be permitted access until a date, to be announced, when, during normal pass renewals, an "R" will be affixed on the passes of all persons eligible for it. During the interim period, personnel without an "R" on their pass will be logged by tbe Merger Takes Place; Result Is Naval Sea Systems Command The Naval Ship Systems Command and the Naval Ordnance Systems Cormnand, hoth beadquartered in Washington, D.C., will be merged July 1, 1974. The new com- mand will be known as the Naval Sea Systems Command. The two commands are being merged to more closely integrate ship and weapon systems and to remain effective while un· dergoing manpower reductions, reports tbe Naval Material Command. The commands employ about 2,500 military and civilian personnel. They are components of NAVMAT and are respon- sible for acquisition and support of Naval ships and weapons systems. There will be no manpower cuts at either conunand as a result of the merger. However, hoth commands previously bad been directed to meet fiscal year 1975 funding and ceiling limitations, and these reductions will still be required. A ceremony marking the formal dedication of the Dr. Thomas D. Stephenson Heliport in Ridgecrest will take place Saturday at the Ridgecrest Community Hospital, starting at 9 a.m. The heliport, which is located on Navy land opposite the entrance to the local hospital, is a project that was initiated three years ago by tbe Rotary Club of China Lake and carried out with the cooperation of Naval Weapons Center officials and civic leaders in Ridgecrest, in addition to private contributions of material and labor. • Capt.

This, tbe final milestone in RAdIn. Pugh's 33 years in the Navy, was preceded by a year as Senior Navy Member in the Military Studies and Liaison Division, Weapons Systems Evaluation Group in the Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in Washington, D.C.

Additional combat service during hoth the Korean and Vietnam Wars highlighted the career of RAdm.

Pugh was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, D.C., and for a year, starting in July 1963, served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Operations on the Staff of the Cormnander of the Sixth Fleet.

The new com- mand will be known as the Naval Sea Systems Command. The two commands are being merged to more closely integrate ship and weapon systems and to remain effective while un· dergoing manpower reductions, reports tbe Naval Material Command. The commands employ about 2,500 military and civilian personnel. They are components of NAVMAT and are respon- sible for acquisition and support of Naval ships and weapons systems. There will be no manpower cuts at either conunand as a result of the merger. However, hoth commands previously bad been directed to meet fiscal year 1975 funding and ceiling limitations, and these reductions will still be required. A ceremony marking the formal dedication of the Dr. Thomas D. Stephenson Heliport in Ridgecrest will take place Saturday at the Ridgecrest Community Hospital, starting at 9 a.m. The heliport, which is located on Navy land opposite the entrance to the local hospital, is a project that was initiated three years ago by tbe Rotary Club of China Lake and carried out with the cooperation of Naval Weapons Center officials and civic leaders in Ridgecrest, in addition to private contributions of material and labor. • Capt.
