34 BROOKLYN EAGLE, SUNDAY, MAY 23, 1943 ST. JOHN'S U. WILL BESTOW 305 DIPLOMAS WEDNESDAY Your Wartime Problems By RICHARD HART Elecfrical Field's Future Stressed Pratt Alumni Hears Talk by Faculty Member A promising post-war future for electrical engineers as a result of developments now taking place in high frequency and ultra-high fre-ouency electricity, was predicted yesterday by Elmer A. Hertzler of the Pratt Institute electrical engineering faculty in an address to graduates attending the annual alumni day of the Institute's school of science and technology. "There is no doubt," Mr.

Hertzler said, "that progress in these fields has been accelerated by the war and that ultra-high frequency will play an increasingly important role ir peace-time as well as war activities." Television and airplane direction finding were mentioned as two of the fields in which the most notable developments are taking place. Alumni day began at 10 a.m. with open house in the Institute's engineering buildings, 195 Grand where war training classes are at work. The traditional luncheon and dinner were omitted from the program this year because of war emergencies. Mr.

Hertzler's lecture was followed by a baseball game, motion pictures and bridge. An informal reception was held from 5 to 6 p.m. Arthur L. Cook, director of the school of science and technology, presided. A class of 30S graduates of St.

John's University will receive their degrees at commencement exercises on Wednesday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. According to the president, the Very Rev. William J. Mahoney, nearly one-third of the number are now under arms and the remaining men are enrolled in the Reserve Corps awaiting induction. The graduates represent three of the five colleges within the university.

They are the School of Commerce, St. John's College and University College, The School of Law and the College of Pharmacy will hold their commencement in the Fall. Commencement week will open tonight with baccalaureate services in Perboyre chapel of the Church of St. John the Baptist, adjacent to the college, at Wloughby and Lewis and the sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Joseph P.

Wiest of St. Joseph's College for Women. The exercises for the School of Commerce will take place at 2 p.m. on Wednesday with Joseph H. Pridday, president of Frederick Loeser Company, as the speaker.

In the evening exercises will be conducted for the University College and St. John's College and the address will be given by the Rev. Edward Stanford, president of Villanova College, Villanova, Pa. Father Stanford will receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from St. John's University.

i Diplomacy Only Sane Method Of Securing Privileges in Service The worst possible attitude any soldier or sailor can adopt is tha "I want my rights" one when it comes to making applications for transfers, furloughs, discharges, etc. Too many letters are coming into this department recently from disgruntled folks whose men in the services have made this fatal mistake in their official contacts. It is unwise procedure to tackle any officer in a legalistic frame of mind. FEW 'RIGHTS' This modern army and navy tries to fit square pegs Into square holes. Every camp and naval base has an officer whose sole Job 1 to adjust misfits which are inevitable when you consider the millions of men now in uniform.

No soldier, sailor or even officer has a right to demand an adjustment of his status. Nor has he the right to demand an interview with his personnel expert. He can, however, ask for the privilege, but he had better do so politely and with a smile. It Is no small diplomatic job for a man to ask his C. O.

for a transfer. The worst possible reason he can advance Is that he does not like being in the C. particular outfit. Naturally the C. O.

is proud of his unit and he expects all his men to have the same pride. He does not enjoy learning that he has disgruntled men in his ranks or among his officers, SERVICE CONVENIENCE All such applications should be made on the basis of being "for the good of the service." There is no use of telling a C. O. Out you want to be transferred because you don't like the way the "Top Kick" waxes his moustache, or the way he bawls his men out, or the mess sergeant's food or the work you are doing. Instead the applicant should bring along proof that he is more fitted to do another sort of job.

This same advice holds true in securing furloughs. As we have said here often, a furlough is a PRIVILEGE and not a RIGHT. A good C. O. likes to give his men a chance to visit their families but it is a fatal mistake to demand such a furlough as a RIGHT.

There is no rule in the army or navy which forces a C. O. to grant a furlough to every man before he goes overseas (this a a very common notion among home folks) in fact, a C. O. has the right to clamp down on all furloughs if he thinks it is for the good of the service.

The fellow who learns to apply for privileges with a smile is mors liable to make progress, and get his way, than the chap who sets up an argument with his superiors. jki-c Pasture," now on view at Parke-Bernet Galleries.

Coukt, Pruldent and Sole Ountr BROOKLYN FUNERAL HOMES Foss' Thrilling Story Starts in Todays Eagle Continued from Page 1 lucky shot. He blew up In a great, beautiful burst, and I ducked as the Grumman went through the pieces. I was conscious of explosions, fires and streams of tracers on all sides.

The dogfight was wound up tight in a small area, and the sky was filled with death. I came out of the loop and put my nose down to gain speed. Out of nowhere came a maniac In a Zero, going up at an angle and breaking into a slow roll. He must have thought he got somebody and was due for a celebration. When he was three-quarters around I pulled up and gave him a quick squirt.

There was a blinding explosion, and the pilot popped out, nearly hitting my Grumman. I barely managed to pull over him as he plummeted down toward the island and the sea, both looking so incredibly peaceful below. But the inside of a dogfight is no spot for a nature-lover. Leveling out of a dive, two Zeros were coming for me one head-on, the other from an angle. I made for the first one.

While I was wondering if he intended to ram me, he pulled up to his right I got in a short burst back of his motor, and flames were lapping at him as I went by. He blew up right off my left wing. While this was happening, another Zero must have climbed onto my tail, because tracers were going by. Something had gone wrong with my motor, too. This lad who had come in with the head-on attack must have hit me.

I remembered he had been doing a lot of shooting, and at that range it would be hard to miss. My motor began to smoke. I pushed over to pick up speed, and thanked the Lord for plenty of altitude. With increasing momentum I was smoking like a skywriter. The Jap behind me dove after me, overran, then pulled up and made a spiral turn.

I got in a short burst with no apparent effect and then ran out of ammunition. Yearns to Be Elsewhere Another Zero wheeled by and sprinkled me plenty before turning off on the heels of the other. I suddenly yearned to be somewhere else. It is no fun playing with these boys when you do not even have a bean in your guns. By radio I called for reinforcements.

Two of our men, having the situation exceedingly well in hand by then, came over. I am happy to say they polished off both Zeros, although I did not see the fight. At that time I was busy worrying about getting home to Henderson Field. It was a long glide from a high altitude and I had plenty of time to think. Here it was the 23d of October, and we had been on that island about two weeks.

My lucky streak that day had brought my bag of enemy planes to 11 a respectable number, but nothing extraordinary. Maj. John L. Smith, the big marine gun from Lexington, had by that time got his final total of 19. Was a Little Ashamed I thought affectionately of the good Grummans they never blazed up.

(I only knew of one that ever did and that was a fluke.) This had been a good day. In the morning we had escorted some high ranking officers down the channel. They were in a PBY and had been on the island for a tour of inspection. The escort job was an unwelcome chore, because we were afraid we would not be included in any hops that might develop later in the day. We did lie around all the rest of the forenoon, but at noon there came those welcome orders.

I reached the field all right. My oil line and wing tips had been hit. I was a little ashamed of myself. "This," I thought, "is the fourth Grumman- I've brought down in bad shape. Just one more and I'll be a Japanese ace!" The day's score for our boys was 20 Zeros and one bomber.

We weren't always so lucky, but it did happen that day that all of our boys returned.

GALLERIES Wares Showing who paints a watercolor portrait with the precision of an Albrecht Durcr. Friends of Greece, Inc. Although S'ark Young, eminent man of letters, turned to painting only two years ago.

there is nothing in any of his expressive works to indicate that they have not been produced by a seasoned artist. He applies the paint to his canvas in much the manner of a linguist who learns another language with per-; lect ease, overriding with equa-, nnnity whatever technical difficul-; tics the new idiom may present. And why should this not be so? In every medium of expression, does not a great deal depend upon the thought habits in which art finds the novice? A brief excerpt from John Anderson's tribute to the artist emphasizes the spiritual realities of the man who is Stark Young by name and stark young bv nature. He reflects a quality which "reveals an extraordinary range and delicacy of apprehension, and a unique background, at once scholarly and experienced." Notwithstanding that- he Is treading on new soil, this poet in paint "binds together by passion and knowledge" his pigmented versions of what he feels about what he sees. He is not a nature copist.

He looks, and feels, and enjoys interpreting the memory of the emotion. Particularly outstanding is the "Arrangement of Three Va.es" which is a veritable anthology of the flower world. "West Texas Range" is canopied with cloud formations which reveal the dramatic sight of an oncoming storm.

Reynard, II I SI AMI UK IMIMIMiS Design Technique Course at Cooper New Method Taught By Professor Brumfield Engineers from war plants in the New York area are enrolled in ft 15-week course at Cooper Union to learn a new design technique perfected in the school's civil engineering laboratories.

The technique, taught by Ray C. Brumfield, associate professor of civil engineering and originator of the unique method, eliminates the use of models in determining how modern complicated structural parts will react to the stresses placed upon them in the many new uses called forth by war. Production of airplanes, tanks, and other armament ill be speeded by the application of the Brumfield method, which saves valuable time and effort previously expended in the trial-and-error approach of building models of bakelite, plastics, plaster of Paris, or glass, and subjecting them to stress tests. Professor Brumfield has worked out, over a period of 15 years, a "paper method," by which the com- putation of stresses and their effects on a structure is done through mechanics and mathematical analy- ses alone. The method is 100 per- cent accurate, it is said.

The course, which is not taught at any other institution in this! country, is sponsored by the United States Office of Education. Brooklyn College To Give Gym Show Tomorrow afternoon the athletic field of Brooklyn College will be the scene of a physical fitness demonstration by 2.500 students of the college.
