Faster Than Ever
Airliners Possible
Air travelers in the near future
will be able to eat breakfast in
Paris, New York, Los Angeles and
Honolulu, all in one day.
That is how fast supersonic jet
transports now under development
will travel, a Federal Aviation
Agency official said Friday at
A&M’s sixth annual Transportation
Conference.
Nathaniel Goodrich of Washing
ton, D. C., FFA general counsel,
said speeds from 1,400 to 2,000
miles per hour will zip passengers
from New York to Paris in three
hours, and coast to coast in a little
over two hours.
Development of supersonic jet
transports, a cooperative project
between the U. S. government and
the aircraft industry, will be bene
ficial to the prestige and economy
of the nation, he said.
"It will signal a new growth in
aviation, energize and invigorate
aircraft and engine manufacturing
industries, and create new markets
for American air carriers,” Good
rich pointed out.
The FFA official said cost has
been estimated at about $1 billion,
with industry contributing 10 to
25 per cent. Government plans
to recover its investment through
royalty payments from industry,
he observed.
Goodrich listed these design
specifications by industry:
A range of 4,000 miles; 25,000-
pound payload or more; seating
capacity for at least 163 persons;
operate from present jet airports;
landings and take-offs with no
more noise than current sub-sonic
jets create; aircraft flying char
acteristics comparable to present
jobs.
John E. Stephens of Washington,
D. C., general counsel for the Air
Transport Association of Ameri
ca, presided at the Friday sesion.
He said the FFA will report May 1
to President Johnson and make
recommendations on aircraft and
engine manufacturers to build the
transports.
Another conference speaker, W.
C. Mentzer of San Francisco, Uni
ted Air Lines senior vice president
of engineering and maintenance,
emphasized that the goverment-in-
dustry supersonic jet transport de
velopment program is not an air
line promotion.
Ex Gets Command
Of 4th Army Post
Lt. Gen. Robert W. Colglazier,
a 1925 civil engineering graduate
of A&M, has been named by Presi
dent Johnson to command the
Fourth U. S. Army with head
quarters in San Antonio. He will
succeed Lt. Gen. Carl H. Jark
who retires July 31.
General Colglazier, a former
San Antonio resident, has served
as deputy chief of staff of Army
logistics since 1959. He was com
missioned second lieutenant upon
graduation from Texas A&M and
was called to active duty in May,
1941. During World War II he
filled supply and engineering as
signments and returned to civilian
life after hostilities ceased.
He was recalled to active duty
in 1951 and in 1954 was named
asistant deputy chief of staff for
logistics; ■
The Aggie officer was named
commanding general of the Army’s
Communications Zone with head
quarters at Orleans, France in
1956. In 1959 he assumed his
present Pentagon position.
Corpus Christi
Civil Defense
Programs Set
A&M will conduct two civil de
fense programs in Corpus Christi
during the week of April 6-10,
Dr. W. R. Bodine, head of civil
defense training here, announced.
A one-half day conference, de
signed to brief local officials on
their responsibilities during an
emergency, will be held April 8
at the Corpus Christi State Na
tional Bank from 8:30 until noon.
A 32-hour course to qualify per
sons as radiological monitor in
structors will be held 8 to 5 p.m.
April 6-10 at Fire Station No. 7.
Floyd L. Vaden and Eugene
Kronenberg will be in charge of
the radiological monitoring classes.
Approximately 20 persons have
been approved for the week-long
school.
The civil defense conference, ex
pected to attract more than 100
persons from 15 counties in the
Corpus Christi area, is one of 24
being held in Texas through a
contract with the U. S. Office of
Civil Defense.
Earl C. Dunn, Corpus Christi
CD director, and L. W. Harrell,
deputy director, are in charge of
local arrangements for the con
ference.
Bodine will present the “why”
of civil defense and later outline
the scope of the national program.
The effects of nuclear weapons
and a shielding demonstration will
be presented by Vaden.
Loren E. Love Receives Rank

LOREN E. EOVE
Wearing new chevrons
Officer Training Corps cadets at
A&M is wearing new chevrons on
his sleeves.
He already was a master serg
eant and senior non-commissioned
officer of the detachment.
Now he has the rank of senior
master sergeant.
Love has nearly 24 years of Air
Force - service, mostly in admi
nistrative posts, and is in his
fourth year of service on the A&M
campus. He is the non-commis
sioned officer in charge of Air
Force cadet records.
His family, which includes
three daughters, resides at 2930
Tennessee in Bryan.
Love graduated from Kirksville,
Mo., Senior High School in 1940
and entered the Air Force. His
parents, Mr. and Mrs Jack Love,
reside at 150 South Baird St.,
Kirksville.
Getting Ready For Summer
JoAnn Monford, 17, member of the Ball High School Tor-
nettes, precision drill team, gets an early start on a summer
tan on Galveston Beach. Gulf temperatures in the low QjO’s
make the water a bit chilly for swimming but weekends
find many on the beach enjoying the sun and sand.
Oceanography Prof Advises
A&M’s Spring Fever Victims
Persons smitten with spring fev
er and dreams of far away places
might consider the advice of an
A&M faculty member whose spe
cialty is the study of climates.
“I have very fixed ideas on this
matter of ideal climate, a personal
feeling entirely,” Assistant Profes
sor John F. Griffiths said.
Behind his feeling are earlier
years in England and a decade of
government service in East Afri
ca before he joined the Texas A&M
Department of Oceanography and
Meteorology two years ago.
The climate to be found in tropi
cal highlands such as those of
Central America, East Africa and
Ethiopia is recommended highly
by Griffiths.
“I think that the tropical high
land climate is about the best
because you get a nice equable
climate. If you choose your al
titude, you have days when the
temperature seldom rises above
85-degrees and nights with tem
perature rarely below 40- degrees,”
Griffiths said.
And some of the highlands are
situated so that it is easy to drive
to “a beautiful tropical coastline”
or up higher into forested moun
tains with fishing streams, he
pointed out.
Totals Of Visitors
Released By Pinky
A total of 44,994 visitors were
on the campus of A&M University
in months of June through Decem
ber, 1963, and January, February,
and March, 1964, P. L. Downs, Jr.,
official greeter of the university,
announced.
The university had 900,147 vis
itors on the campus for scheduled
meetings and other activities for
the 14-year period.

A&M, Columbia Scientists
To Research Ocean Depths
Scientists of Columbia and A&M
Universities are investigating
strange geological formations deep
beneath the Gulf of Mexico.
The Research Vessel Alaminos,
A&M’s new vessel, is on an 18-day
cruise devoted to investigating the
formations, possibly salt domes.
The formations may be 155,000,000
years old.
The 21 domes are the subject of
considerable interest among ocean
ographers as the formations are
the first of their kind found in an
area where an ocean always has
existed.
The domes have a striking re
semblance to the salt domes as
sociated with the rich oil reserves
of the Texas and Louisiana coasts.
Area Civil Defense
Consultant Resigns
AUSTIN — The resignation of
Mrs Grace M. Martin of College
Station as State Consultant for
Women’s Activities in Civil De
fense and Disaster Relief was an
nounced recently by Colonel Homer
Garrison Jr., director of the Tex
as Department of Public Safety.
Garrison, who is also State Co
ordinator of Defense and Disaster
Relief, said, “Mrs. Martin has
been a faithful servant of the State
Defense and Disaster Relief pro
gram for the past 13 years. Her
work in this field is full of out
standing achievements, and she is
to be highly commended for her
authoritative contributions to the
role of women in civil defense plan
ning and action.”
Mrs. Martin, whose resignation
was effective April 1, plans to
continue residence in College Sta
tion and devote her time to other
women’s organizations. She will
serve as consultant on civil defense
for the Texas Federation of Wom
en’s Clubs and the Texas Home
Demonstration Association.
She expects to consumate her
activities June 9-10 at the 13th An
nual Conference of the Women’s
Advisory Council for Civil Defense
which will be conducted at College
Station.
Mrs. Martin was first connected
with civil defense in 1943 while
serving ts district home demonstra
tion agent for 24 West Texas
counties.
Four of the formations which
rise above the bed of the Gulf
were discovered in 1953 by Dr.
Maurice Ewing, director of Colum
bia’s Lament Geological Observa
tory. Columbia researchers later
found 17 similar formations, but
these were buried by silt.
Ewing heads the Lament sci
entists aboard the Alaminos and
John Antoine directs the A&M
party. Antoine is a research sci
entist with the Department of
Oceanography and Meteorogy.
A&M and Lament Observatory
scientists worked together earlier
and several years ago perfected
a technique to allow continuous
seismic tracing of the ocean bot
tom and underlying rocks.
Ewing described the Gulf of
Mexico as having “a most in
teresting body of sediment . . .
which many of your people are
thinking about and working about.”
