NOTS Scientists Discover Fossils,
A crater located in the Panamint Valley range area at China Lake holds one of the finest collections of prehistoriC animal fossils ever found in the area, according to NOT S scientists who this week continued evaluation tests in cooperation with university scientists.
Dr. Pierre St. Amand, head of the Earth and Planetary Sciences division here, said no spe· cific date has yet been applied to the remains. However, definitely identified in the find are camels, horses, turtles and birds which inhabited the earth an estimated 8-10 thousand years ago.

Despite its appearance the absence of meteoritic matter in the area has caused researchers to doubt that the crater was caused by cosntic action, according to Dr. Shelden D .Elliott, Jr., excavation supervisor. He said that I a r gel i m est 0 n e deposits throughout the adjacent countryside indicate that the hole could have bee n c a use d by underground water solution.

.. .' . - . Our location in the world and its geography have dic·
tated that ,sea power is the sine qua non of our economic and political survival. But a Navy is not an end in itself, I)or is sea power. Our real objective is the advancement of the national interest, which, like geography, is unchang· ing. We must, therefore, bend the complexities of scientific advancement to the service of sea power, and sea power to the service of the nation.
Let me cite a striking example. Technological advances in -propellants and weapons permitted tlie design and can· struction of the POLARIS missile. Nearly simultaneously, advances in nuclear propulsion, communications, navigation, and hull construction permitted the concept of the POLARIS weapons system. Technology has been bent to the service of sea power and sea power to the service of the nation. We have used the oceans to our national advantage, and let me assure you that we intend to continue to do so!
We have made similar advances with SIDEWINDER, SPARROW, BULLPUP, ASROC, SUBROC. Much still remains to be done. We urgently need improvements in the detec· tion and classification of submarines. We need to make best use of the communication and navigation advantages of satellites, and of space vehicles. There is, .in fact, no area of technology which may be left unexplored in our advance· ment of sea power. Our accomplishments of the past merely point the way to our goals of the future - a future in which the value of the sea may be multiplied many fold. We must continue to bend technology to the service of sea power and sea power to the service of the nation.

The Navy has aimed high and accomplished much in the past few years. In ships, missiles, and planes we have made advances which by their very regularity seem now to be routine. But that is the trick of the thing - making diffi· cult achievements look routine is a tremendous compliment to the men of government and industry whose cooperation and ingenuity have added so much to the structure of sea power.

The Au· gustine ideal is that they were heads of their little- society as the Bishop is head of the faith· ful under his jurisdiction. In the 'home the father has the · same functions that the Church has ; the obligation to teach, rule and Sanctify. • . The father's role as head of his wife and his family in rio way lessens his spouse's dignity as wife, mother and companion. If h e is king, she is queen. If he rules by authority and is owed obedience, she rules by love and is owed devotion. Rather than conflict, there is harmony be· tween the two roles, for they complement each other.
Conflict arises when one or the other of spouses neglects or abuses his or her role or else at· tempts to assume the role of the other.

esc Reports No Raise For Health Plan Rates
Premium rates of the Govern· ment·wide Service Benefit Plan and the Government-wide In· demnity Benefit Plan-which to· gether cover about 80 percent of the nearly 2,000,000 employees enrolled in the Federal Em· ployees Health Benefits program -wiII not .be increased for the next contract year which begins November I , 1962, the Civil Ser~ ':"!e Commission has announc-
The CSC also said that the n( xt "open season" of the pro· gram is. planned for late 1963, probably in October.
A few of the other 35 plans pdrticipating in the program may require premium rate increases. While some plans may make minor perfecting changes in benefits, rate increases wiII be negotiated only on the basis that they are needed to main· tain the proper balance between
the cost of present benefits and premium rates. However, any increases in rates by other plans for the next contract year will probably be small, the Commis· sion said.
Although there will be no general "open season" in October of 1962, eligible employees who have previously elected not to enroll wiII have auother op· portunity to enroll in a participating plan in October of this year. Also, any employee now able to change to a self·and·family enrollment in the same plan and option at that time. During a general "open season"eligible employees have an unrestricted opportunity .to change from one plan or option to another or, if not enrolled, to enroll in a plan.
The decision to hold no "open season" in 1962 was made after consultation with the Federal Employees Health Benefits Advisory Committee.
