The nation sets aside one day eachyear-Memorial Day-in which the citi­zens may honor those who have fallenwhile in the military service of theircountry. In days past, it also was knownas Dec-oration Day; it was the homelycustom in those times for family mem­bers, patriotic organizations and just or­dinary citizens to journey to cemeteriesand decorate the military graves withflowers, as a sign that those who laybeneath the plain stone markers had notbeen forgotten.

Memorial Day was first -observed fol­lowing the Civil War, specifically as aremembrance for Union soldiers. Neitherthen nor now, however, has observancebeen general throughout the nation, noris the day everywhere known as Me­morial Day. In Alabama, Georgia, Missis­sippi, North Carolina, South Carolinaand Texas, to the civilian community itis just another day of the week, althoughcivilian employees of the Federal gov­ernment in those states get the day offas a paid holiday.

In Virginia May 30 is known as Con­federate Memorial Day. In Florida itis known as Memorial Day for all vet­erans.

Observance of the day has one fairlycommon form. Those who have flags flythem from their homes.

Now they're calling Verne Mesick,staff assistant to Herb Meyer, Directorof Reliability Assurance, "Colonel," inrecognition of his recent promotion toLieut-Col in the Air Force Reserve. He'sa member of a missile support group atNorton Air Force Base, San Bernardino.

Patrolman Burgis was rushed to thenearest hospital for emergency treatment,then to the city's Central Receiving Hos­pital, where the staff is expert in dealingwith knife and bullet wounds.

("They get lots of practice working on thevictims of muggings and gangfights," Dougsays. "Policemen are always tal7en there, ifthere's time, to get tlte benefit of the doctors'experience.")

(continued on next page)

The second chase ended in front of ahouse a block away, and so quickly thatBurgis couldn't have brought his gun intoplay either to shoot, or as a club. Theyfell upon each other and it was savage,hand to hand battle, with both menfinally near exhaustion from the pursuitand the fierceness of the struggle.

Burgis was stabbed seven times in hisface, neck, chest and right arm beforebringing his quarry down.

["Y ou don't feel tlte knife going in," Dougreports. "It's only afterwards tltat it Iturts­about tlte time you start wondering if you'regoing to bleed to death."]

With hands slippery from his bloodand the cold sweat of the chase andstruggle, Burgis held his captive in anarmlock. He staggered up to the front

(The week of May 10-16, by presidentialproclamati07i, is National Police If/ eek. Thefollowing paragraphs provide reason, wethinl" why there is such a week.)

Early in the morning hours of April20, Patrolm:m Douglas Burgis of the LosAngeles Police Department, rE!\::eivedhis

baptism of fire as alaw enforcement offi­cer. It is unlikelythat he will ever for­get it.

(Remember Doug?He worked here las a

messenger for severalyears. His Dad's SeniorStaff Engineer ClareBurgis of SED Engi­

I neering.)

Patrolman Burgishad finished his regular tour of duty.Now, in civilian clothes and driving alonein his own car, he was putting in anextra, unpaid tour. With other officershe had volunteered to take part in aneffort to track down a "cat" burglar whohad looted hundreds of West Valleyhomes.

(Los A ngeles is 458.4 square miles of flat­land, mountains, canyons and arroyos-thelargest city in the world. There are less than5,000 o/ficers to protect the 3,000,000 citizens.The "thin blue line" is thin indeed, in theearly morning flOurs.)

The mobile net of thief catchers, sup­plementing those on regular duty, wasspread wide. Patrolman Burgis was farfrom other officers when he suddenlyspotted the figure of a man emergingfrom between two houses.

("1 Itad the feeling tltis could be the manwe were looking for," Doug said later. "At3 o'clock in the morning he certainly wasn'ta resident out for a walk.")

Patrolman Burgis swung his car so theheadlights blazed directly on the man,who darted back between the two houses.Jamming on his brakes, the officer tookup pursuit on foot. He caught up withhis quarry after a block-long chase overbackyard fences and walls.

The confrontation was as dramatic asa scene in a movie. Both men were breath­ing heavily as a result of the chase. Thefugitive stood, in defiant stance, caughtin the glare of Patrolman Burgis flash­light. He shouted, in response to Burgis'command to hold up his hands: "Shootme! Shoot me! I'm never going back."

["H e was holding a knife alongside oneleg," Doug said later. "I told him to drop it.He shouted again for me to shoot him, backedaway a little, then whirled and jumped an­other fence. I holstered my (fun and tookafter him."]

The Employment and Training sectionsof Group Employee Relations, headed byGlen W. Seltzer and Wayne P. Strong,are now part of SED Personnel, headedby Ray R. McDonald.

The Librascope Group contracts admin­istration office has been dissolved and itsfunctions taken over by SED contractsadministration, of which D. J. Beushaus­en is Manager.

Administration of the company-widecost reduction program has been assignedto the group Budget Dept, headed byR. H. Smith and all Property Accountingresponsibility is consolidated under GroupGontroller A. L. Powers.

Burgis was lucky. He lost a lot of blood,, but only one of the seven wounds, despite

(/ the six inch length of the knife he wasstabbed with, was over an inch deep; theexception was a four inch gash along therib cage. He was back on duty within aweek, a little stiff and sore, but soundand in one piece.

[Doug had the good health, as well asthe strength of youth, going for him thatnight. [-J e celebrated his birthda·y~· just sixdays after the encounter. He had attainedthe advanced (lge of 22']

Burgis was asked later by a civilianwhy he hadn't shot the man, either whenhe invited the bullet, or during the pur­suit. (The civilian had perhaps seen ,toomany TV shows.) ,

"There were several reasons," Burgisreplied. "First, he was only a suspect; hemight have just been a nut. Second, bul­lets don't always hit the target-but theycan hit somebody else. Third-what wouldyou do if somebody pleaded with you toshoot him ?"

There was no answer to that question.

It is fitting that Patrolman Burgis didnot risk his life in vain. According to thedetectives handling the follow-up work,Burgis' captive was indeed the "cat" bur­glar and his arrest promises to clear upseveral hundred burglaries. He had es­caped Feb 12 from Chino State Prison,

, where he was serving a term for armedrobbery ..

(GLENDALE) Charles A. Parker, afamiliar figure around SED manufactur­ing for the past 13 years, flipI1ed the"off" switch on his gear cutter for thelast time one day last month. With his75th birthday coming up, "Charley" haddecided it was time to retire.

Charley's retirement under the Libra­scope Hourly Employees Retirement In­come Plan brought to a close better thanhalf a century of work, for Charley leftHigh School for a job 58 years ago in hisnative Troy, Kans. Over the years he hasworked at everything from farmhand, tojanitor, building engineer, auto mechanicand with Librascope, cutter of the finegears, for which the company is famous.

The whole machine shop staff, plusProduction Supt L. C. Somerfield, turnedout for a farewell party in Charley'shonor during an afternoon coffee breakApril 27. A huge cake bearing the legend"Farewell to Charley Parker, 74 yearsyoung," was the piece de resistance. Healso was presented with a farewell purseof $75 from his fellow employees.

For Charley and his wife, who maketheir home in Burbank, retirement is go­ing to widen their travel range duringthe summer, he says. For the rest of thetime he plans to resume his longtimehobbies of gem-stone grinding and silver­working.

Lee, Seniar Vice-Pres R. M. Brunsan and MauryCenter, Vice-Pres and Gen-Mgr af SED. Here Lee and Center explain aperatiansaf equipment Librascape is building far the Air Farce's 473L Cammand and CantralSystem, tOo be installed at the general's Pentagan aperatians center.

473L Unitsbut Get AF Tests

(GLENDALE) The Air Force doesn'tbuy "a pig in a poke."

That's one way of describing the whyand the wherefore of the exhaustiveperformance and reliability tests ofLibrascope's AN/FYQ-11 Data ProcessorSet, which started here April 30.. ~

The AN/FYQ-11 sets are subsystemsof the Air Force 473L Command andControl System, to be installed this sum­mer in the Air Force Command at thePentagon.

The tests are being conducted by ateam of data systems specialists fromthe Air Force 473L/492L Systems Proj­ect Office; Rome Air Development Cen­ter; Headquarters, United States AirForce; Los Angeles Contract Manage­ment District; 2044th CommunicationsSquadron; the Air Training Command;Rome Air Materiel Area; the MITRECorp and IBM.

Called Category I (CAT-I) tests, theyare the major portion of the total test­ing to which the Librascope equipmentwill be subjected. The CAT-I phase isexpected to be completed on or beforeMay 14; other tests will be made afterinstallation.

ca The Air Force came well equipped toh conduct the tests. There are 24 officers,w enlisted men and civilians in the team,

including the FACI group which evalu­ates the documentation. They got rightdown to work after a short introductorysession in Bldg 16 at which PresidentR. W. Lee welcomed them to Librascope.

The equipment being tested consistsof the Data Processor, the Buffer Proc­essor, the Core Memory, the Disc Mem­ory, Magnetic Tape Unit and the Con­trol Console.

Each piece of equipment is scheduledto be tested individually and as a partof the subsystem, for functional accuracy,reliability, maintainability and otherfacets of operation.

The testing is virtually continuous,which calls for r,ound-the-clock opera­tion by the test team and Librascopepersonnel. Black coffee keeps them going.

The equipment is operated by Libra­scope engineers and technicians, at thedirection of the AF team members.Capt Thomas M. Walker, of the 473L/492L sPa, heads the Air Force testteam. His Librascope -opposite number isWes Stupar, Manager of the 473L engi­neering section of SED engineering.

The Air Force test team memberslive in nearby motels and apartments.So far they haven't seen any more ofSouthern California than is visible fromautomobile windows to and from thetest site in Bldg 11. Twelve hours is atypical work day for all connected withthe test, despite a formal three-shift op­eration plan.

(GLENDALE) Hannes Boehm, Wageand Salary Administrator for the Libra­scope Group, fulfilled an ambition toenter the financial side of managementearly this month when he transferred tothe staff of Contracts Manager D. J.Beushausen.

Boehm equipped himself for considera­tion for the job by returning to school onem after hours basis. He is to receive hisMaster's degree in Business Administra­tion-Finance this summer, after twoyears' study at USC.

A six year employee, Boehm joinedLibrascope as a job analyst, folLowingtwo years with other electronics firmsand a tour of duty as an instructor withthe mountain and ski troops of the U.S.Army. He graduated with a degree inlabor economics from the University ofCalifornia at Davis in 1954.

Save$$$NowFor Next Apr 15

(GLENDALE) Uncle Sam giveth, buthe alsa taketh away. We're getting morein our paychecks now, but we'll be en­joying it less come next April 15.

That about ,sums up auI' individual sit­uations regarding the extra dollars we'regetting in our paychecks since UncleSam lowered the income tax withholdingrate from 18% tOo14% of base earnings.

Says Art Peders-on, Group Supvr ofEmployee Benefits and Services:

"The sad truth is that many af usauI' gaing tOo be owing, instead af gettingmaney back when we file auI' 1964 in­came tax returns in 1965.

"Cangress cut dawn the amaunt afmaney held back fram aur paychecks,but it anly partly cut the incame taxrate. The full cut wan't be effective until1965 and we wan't enjay its benefitsuntil 1966."

Pederson cited the case of a typicalmarried emplayee with two children,earning $150 a week, as a demonstrationof the new withholding rate's effect:

"In 1964 he prabably had $36 returnedtOo him. In 1965, even after weekly de­ductians, he is likely tOo awe as much as$136 an his 1964 incame!"

To be in shape to survive April 15,1965, Pederson suggests that we do thisduring 1964:

Either save those extra dollars, or fillout a new Federal Farm W4, claimingfewer exemptions, at the Personnel Of­fice. Lowering the exemptions will putour paychecks back tOo samewhere neartheir previous size.

In the meantime, we can dream abaut1965, when the money will really be ours!
