Experts Confer at Swarthmore,
Discuss Disarmament Dilemma
by Janice Copen
More than three hundred stu-
dents from about fifty-seven colleges '
all over the United States met last
weekend with-some-of the-greatest
experts -in disarmament’ and arms
control at a conference at Swarth-
more College. The major speakers
included Senator Joseph A. Clark
of-Pennsylvania, Thomas C. Schel-
ling of the Harvard Center for In-
ternational Affairs and Harold
Taylor, former president of Sarah
Lawrence College.
_No definite conclusions and_no
new proposals came out of the
conference. In -fact,—most—of—the
student participants left with the
discouraging realization thatthe
problem is much more complex
than they had thought. The import-
ance of the weekend lay rather in
in the fact that the-idea-for such~a-
conference could catch fire.
The conference was conceived
_by three Swarthmore seniors, Dav-
id_- Wegman, David Edwards and
~ Cynthia Heynen. They spread the
idea ami er students and got
the administration sor the
conference. They found peop
stencil the four hundred pages. of
working ‘papers which. went out to
each “delegate before the weekend:
Swarthmore citizens provided hos-
pitality while much of the finan-
cial support for the conference
--eame- from foundation grants.
Perhaps the greatest. achievement
of the conference was the fact
that such:men-as Professors Louis
Sohn, Emile Benoit, Bernard Feld,
Charles’ Price, Kenneth Boulding
and Seymour Melman were persu-
aded, that conducting student sem-
inars on disarmament was worth
their time.
Senator Clark
Senator Clark, in his keynote ad-
dress,:set the tone for the confer-
premises.
obsolete and that more arms do
not provide security, but that un-
ilateral_ disarmament is unaccept-
able and, therefore, the arms race
will continue- until an..East-West
agreement is reached. The two big.
_ powers now have the same ulti-
mate objective—“‘general and com-
plete. disarmament,” but- the inter-
mediary points are by no means
“settled. Senator Clark noted the
“alarming political lag...in the
country as well as in Congress.”
He. believes the wariness ,of these
people to ‘be unfounded because
there can be -sound advance. plan-
ning to cushion the economic ef-
fects of disarmament and because
we can eventually reach. the true
goal of “total and permanent dis-
armament under enforceable world
law.” oe
Mr. Schelling disagreed with
Senator Clark’s: premises. He be-
lieves that tot‘al disarmament
doesn’t make war impossible be-
ecausepeoplecan_still’ fight even
if_disarmed_and hecause a country|”
can be rearmed rather quickly. He
foresees massive -indiyidual- or~ party
conflicts even if national-wars are
abolished. Disarmament is to him
only .another--form. of deterrence
that of arms control.

cialists in the fields of inspection,

unifying atmosphere at times.-On
the whole, however, Noah both as
a holy man and as a husband was
well portrayed. In addition, the
spirit of a morality play was sim-

“THE COLLEGE NEWS: .
™, *
; A petition for a campus-wide referendum on Bryw Mawr's
membership in the National Student Association was present-
_ed to the Legislature meeting yesterday. During ‘the next
week or so a panel of four debaters (two pro,:two con) will
make the rounds of the dorms arguing the merits (or lack
of them) of N.S.A.
The basic question, to my mind, is whether or not Bryn
Mawr can afford (philosophically. and financially) to support
~The NEWS Opposes _
-
any organization which professes to speak in the name of the
students of America? When N.S.A. sends out a resolution:
it does not indicate which colleges it represents nor how close
~ the vote was. These resolutions are thus taken to be the
opinion of the college students of America, _
~~In the past year, N.S.A-has taken stands on many poli-
tical issues: in favor of abolishing the HU.AC,, against the
U. S. intervention in Cuba, against the resumption of nuclear
testing unless the security of the nation is jeopardized, and
many others. These resolutions were passed during a sum-
mer conference which the heads of Undergrad. and Self-Gov.
and the N.S.A. rep. attended. These girls voted in the name
_ of Bryn Mawr on political issues such as the above with only
their own judgment of the desires of Bryn Mawrters to help
them decide how to vote. as
We do not (nor should we) elect our Presidents: of Un-
dergrad. and Self-Gov. on the basis of their ‘political view-
points. Nor could any N.S.A. rep., even is she were to be
elected by the entire campus, ever convey the mandate of the
undergraduates at Bryn Mawr on politica] issues which may
not even have been raised here. No one person can possibly
represent the views of 700 students, and no organization can
represent the heterogeneous opinions of the students of
America. :
{sn’t it better, stronger; more valid to have student opin=|
ion expressed through those organizations which, though
i i cam-
~wabionel~resmesent.individue or group opinion on each
pus, organzations suc as SPU, tite owng Cossee-asives..OF st
the Civil Rights Group? The Washington Peace March an
the conferences at Princeton and Swarthmore last weekend,
indeed, prove that these organizations can have a powerful
voice-clearly mandated by interested students.
The individualistic students of Bryn Mawr can not only
not support N.S.A. philosophically, they cannot afford it
financially. It costs the student body $400 to send. these
three students to the summer conference.. While-the partici-
‘pants all feel very strongly that the experience and informa-
tion gotten there have been the cause-of the great changes
in this year’s administrations, I fail to see the constructive
contributions of this conference. Whatever individual spirit-
ual values may have been gained this summer, the students at
Bryn Mawr have seen little action. which. would justify the
expense. $400 could be put to better use in scholarship or
Jectiire’ funds.
If it were possible for N.S.A. to serve as a clearing house ||
for information or an apolitical center for exchange of exper-
iences common to college campuses, I would perhaps favor
Bryn Mawr’s membership in it. As the organization is pres-
ently constituted, however, we must not only withdraw, our
support but actively oppose its existence.
And the Driving Rule
The New Driving Rule passed by Legislature yesterday
is an improvement over the Old, Anything’ is an improve-
-ment--which--recognizes- that Self-Gov.—has_no—jurisdiction
over what you do in your own home with your own car. The
new rule has eliminated the most Obvious inconsistencies,
but it is not enough. 7 sh
Although we sincerely sympathize with the Administra-
tion’s concern for accidents and the fear that only the wealth-
ier _students.would. )
tion of the driving rule, except for certain parking regula-
tions. »Then, College organizations could drive to debates,
games and other functions; attending classes at Swarthmore
would be feasible. ai
The nearby train and bus systems are unquestionably
convenient. Yet often public transportation takes the round-
about route; certain places are inacessible by train. We do
not have a great compulsion to drive,but we want to be able
to drive when we have to. An analogy can be made with the
sign-out rule. «The curfew means that if we have to be out
until\two- a.m. we can be—not that we all will be out until
two every night. These are both questions of principle.
Kacthor disturbing aspect of the driving rule involves
the telationship between Self-Gov. and the Board of Trus-
tees.) It appears that Self-Gov. is moving cautiously on this
issue because it feared a Board veto of a more liberal rule.
What is the harm of outlining the rule the students really
want and then ascertaining the opinion of the Board? It has
been jimplied that the Board would reject a more liberal driv-
ing rule and might thereby vitiate the power of Self-Gov.;
that if we°try to push a liveral driving’ rule, our next lib-
eral request will be met withSantagonism. We contend that
the Board of ‘Trustees is more sophisticated and au courant
than:Self-Gov. might imagine.
There is also the fear that the Board of Trustees might
take ithe driving rule out of student hands and place it in the
laps ;
J.C.
f the Administration. We feel that the passage of a
rule conducive to circumvention is contrary to an honor code
_that'is valid only insofar as. it.can reasonably be followed.

This function «is -made possible
by the National Student Congress,

res:
As An Expression of National Opinion
nip CON 53
Dear Editor, —_.
It seems that the NSA debate, as
expressed in the last issue of the
College News, has circled the ques-
tion, scored several debating points
‘for each side, and left puzzled stu-
dents puzzled. Si
Question #1 must be: Do we. need

this I would answer “Yes.” ( Those
who agree and those who don’t, please
read on—we have not reached the
core. of the problem yet.)
Question #2 is then: Why? Some
general and basic answers may in-
clude—incitement to political activ-
ty, pooling of mutual problems and
helping initiate campus organiza-
tions. z
All of these reasons are valid.
What invalidates all of them is the
fact that NSA gittempts to go be-
yond these vital concerns. It, in fact,
tries to, represent national student
opinion... It has attempted to influ-
ence the government by stating what
‘t considers to be student opinion
on~-various issues. Here NSA fails
the American student. body reflect
the pluralistic society in which it ex-
ists, There can be no valid repre-
sentation of such a diverse body.
The NSA convention, well-publicized,
well attended, purports to reach con-
‘clusive**standgen.That Bryn Mawr;
every point of view, should have but
one spokesman for such a myriad of
ideas, is ludicrous.
NSA is not beyond hope and could
some day "be an organization to
which we would give our $400 will-
ingly. Before it can be, it must
abandon its pretentions to represent-
impossible task. It is sad--indeed
that NSA.‘is presumptuous enough
to think it can. The evidence sup-
ports the reverse.
Our problem is easily formulated.
Given the unrepresentative nature
of NSA we must either stay in and
attempt to reform it, or leave.

versity—the foundation of ‘our. so-

President of the
na “Undergraduate Association
This year the “Gadengraduate
Kgtociation-has been operatingun-
der a different self-image: The
change in philosophy, which has
been underlying its activities,
should be made explicit. With the
impending campus electon, the stu-
dent body-will have a chance to de-
cide-clearly what kind of student
government it wants. The individ-
ual candidate: which it chooses will
then be responsible for defining the
role of Undergrad.
Traditionally student ~ govern-
ment at Bryn Mawr has been a
conservative force, acting as a me-
diator between the different sec-
tors of the campus, smoothing the
relationship between administra-
tion, faculty and students. This
year the Undergraduate Assicia-
tion has seen its role quite differ-
ently. It has ‘chosen to enter the
fray as an active student organi-
ience and tradition in this role, it
has..attempted..to be .self-evalua-

TENNESSSEE WILLIAMS

Tennessee Williams has __pro-|'

Night of the Iguana.
The story centers on the life of
the Reverend T. Lawrence Shan-

and heresy. He is presently em-
ployed running tours for the
Blake Travel Agency and has
brought. his tour to the ramshackle

Faulk, a fortyish and rapacious
widow. There are two other sig-
nificant guests at the Costa Verde,
Miss Hannah Jelkes,- an itinerant
spinster-artist, and her. grandfa-
ther Nonno, “a minor poet with*a
major league spirit.”
The iguana is a_ typical lizard,
symbolic of the play’s theme. It

written about the separation of
the physical and the spiritual in
his plays. His heroines often reach
a high spiritual level, such as in
The Glass Menagerie; his men are
capable. of spiritual heights but
hampered by their physical crav-
ings. The development of ear-

and they can only be hampered by

Maud Russell, in an enthusitstic
lecture on “Communist China Today”
given last Thursday, presented her
personal observations of the ‘new
China’. Miss Russell lived in China
from 1917 unti] 1943, working with
the YMCA. She returned in 1959:
for a three month -tour~and:-was
amazed at the material progress
achieved in the period ‘since libera-
tion’ (liberation meaning 1949).
Miss Russell first declared that
she considered - the fundamental
change since 1949 to be the re-
placement of a-sémi-feudal, semi-
colonial system by a modern in-
dustrial. society. ‘China’s goal is to
be the third industrial power in the
world by 1975. This demanding
task has necessitated the harness=
ing of all resources available to
her. This’ economic. goal requires
the ‘full participation of everyone
— worker and peasant alike. Miss
Russell showed slides to demon-
strate the great industrial gains
of China primarily in the produc-
tion of steel and electric power.
Typical: of the spirit of this new
activity is the slogan, “We must
stand—on-two feet”—meaning that
we must use all of the talent and
resources that we have—both old
and new.
E Land Reform
The first step in the changeover
to the ‘new China’ was an exten-
sive land reform program. In 1949,
according to Miss Russell, the
peasants took the land from the
oppressive owners and gave it to
themselves. The early system of
collectives has now been replaced
by the communes, which dominate the
countryside. The peasants own the
land collectively and are paid 60
to 70% of their earnings in cash.
The other 30. to 40% goes toward

tion, free marriage, birth and
death” ServieEEy Teee” Pood “in “the
communal dining room and some

plete socio-economic units; they
have their own farmers and tech-

men, doctors and teachers. As to

can own private plots of land if it
is not. needed by the commune and
can work on’ them in their free
time, “Sting their produce in a

Another important element in
the building of the new society is
|the extensive reeducation pro-
gram of the government. ‘Red
and Expert’ classes are open to
all, as supplementary education to
help all to “understand the nature
of the sociéty they are building”’.
It is a sort of “gigantic adult edu-
cation class in Civics”. Another
characteristic of. the ‘new China’
is the popular organizations. There
is_an organization for everyone
and most people belong to several.
These gyoups organize discussions
on subjects ranging from foreign
policy to local pest control and
each person is encouraged to parti-
cipate.
Miss Russell was also impressed
by the more evident changes
throughout the country. She noted
that women are now. wearing
multi-colédred dresses .instead of
the indigo denims seen in previous
byears. A national héalth program
has removed thé sick and crippled
from the streets. Sewage and san-
itary conditions have ‘improved.
And finally’ Miss Russell felt that
food was more Abundant — “all
sorts of restaurants abound
from snack bars.to Juxurious_inns.”
But perhaps’ the most striking
change is the increased activity of
the people. ‘‘All work is honorable”
is another motto of a iene filed
régime. .
_Miss Russell eoncluded by soditath
ting that China still has two: press-
ing problems to solve. First there
are the “reactionaries and doubt-,
ers”, thé’ segment of the popula-
tion that clings to tlie principles and
goals of the old China and have

‘Should Cold War Warrant Un-Muzzling
The Military?
Pros And Cons in The General Walker Controversy
No Censorship
° ‘by Sheila Bunker —
As thick, comforting, and dulling
as are the Liberal blankets of eu-
phemism, the United States is now
at war with Communism\— or
should be. For those who -claim
that Communism is intellectually
acceptable, Lenin himself has sta-
ted: “It is inconceivable that Com-
munis: e
side by side in this world: Inevit-
ably one must perish.” Commun-
ism is a aggressive enemy of the
United’ States; every action of
every American should be directed
towards the destruction of Com-
munism, And yet, in the last year,
the very Americans responsible for
offensive, as well as defensive ac-
tion — the military officers. who
take an oath of loyalty to defend
this: nation from enemies domes-
tic.and foreign—have been limited
in {their attempts to check Com-
munism through ‘positive means.

Division, who, in April, 1961, was
relieved of his command before in-
vestigation of charges that he had
used John Birch Society propagan-
da in training his troops. What
had Walker actually done? General
Walker, by authority of the 1958
National Security Council ‘Cold
War” directive — which permitted
officers to instruct troops and civ-
ilians in anti-Communism—had es-
tablished a “Pro-Blue” Program.
This” program of the 24th Division
was designed to educate military

‘tives, and techniques. of Commun-
ism. When the Overseas. Weekly,
which Congressman Dale Alford
of Arkansas has described “as a
“salacious overseas pink sheet,”
accused. Walker of. John Birch: So-
ciety propaganda, Walker was, on
June 12, officially reprimanded--by
the Army and denied, a pending
assignment in Texas. Six weeks
later his “Pro-Blue” Program was
disbanded. On July 13 the Chicago
Sun-Times ran an article by Thomas
Ross entitled, “Curb Military Anti-
Red Crusaders,” which announced
‘that Secretary of Defense Robert
McNamara had ordered the Joint
Chiefs of Staff to change the 1958
directive. Ross also stated in. this
article that Arthur Sylvester, the
military censor, “.. . had succeeded
in stopping the showing of two
militantly Conservative films, ‘Op-
eration Abolition,’ which lauded
the House Un-American Activities
Committee, and- ‘Communism on
the Map,’ which disparged the ef-
forts of the Eisenhower and Ken-
nedy Administrations to ‘contain
Communism.”
Anti-anti-Communism
What happened when the Ken-
-nedy Administration embarked on
a course of Anti-anti-Communism
and Sylvester gained extensive
powers of military censorship?
The following phrases are some of
those now constantly removed by
censors from speeches of the Mil-
itary: “Communist conspiracy dir-
ected towards absolute domination
of the world,” “the steady advance
of Communism,” “the Communist
challenge,” “insidious ideology~ of
World Communism,” “Communism
encompassing~ Marxism, Fabian
~- Sosislism,-and--Secialism,””\“today-
cntan wee me noses aman Npseey
in’ the face of worldwide threat of
International Communism.”’ Censors
have also forbidden military per-
sonnel to attend a number of anti-
Communist seminars at: Fredricks-
burg, Va., Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind, Glenview Naval Air Station,
- Ti, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and
the Panama Canal Zone.

Walker Leaves Army: The Facts Behind the Fuss
Major General Edwin A. Walker, the center -of the Present controversy
over “muzzling the military”, was born in Center Point, Texas, fifty-two
years ago. He has been a career Army‘officer ever since he graduated from
West Point (ranking number 229 in a class of 296) in 1910. He went into
the artillery, but in the Second World War he became Colonel of an Amer-
ican-Canadian Commando unit-in Europe. Later-he-saw service in Korea
where he apparently became disillusioned with the “Americanism” of his
troops, ‘Phe conduct.of the war too left him dissatisfied: “I saw stalemate
pecomé the substitute for victory,” he wrote to the svaate Armed Forces
Subcommittee.
After Korea he continued in the peacetime Army, ‘iaiavittak in 1957
the Federal troops sent~to Little Rock to enforce integration. In‘ the sum-
mer of 1959 he was named commander of the Twenty-fourth Infantry
Division in Germany. That same year he joined the John Birch Society.
In Germany he began vigorously indoctrinating his troops against
Communism—including on his list of recommended reading The Life of John
Birch by Robert/ Welch. In April, 1961, this and other information about
the nature of his troop education program was: disclosed by The Overseas
Weekly, an independent ‘magazine. Walker was there quoted as calling
Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dean Acheson; and others “definitely pink”.
Twice Walker was cautioned by the Army for his behavior, and finally
was reliéved of his command pending an official investigation. This inquiry
determined that he had violated Army regulations prohibiting officers from
publicly attacking government officials. and from attempting to influence
the’ voting of their troops. He was also found guilty of breaking a statute
paralleling the Hatch Act which forbids.a government official from engag-
ing in partisan politics.

The case of General Walker in-
volves . considerations of\ supreme
importance for American demo-
cratic “government. An _, examina-
tion of the situation certainly rg-
veals his dismissal to be in\ the
best interests of the United States.
“Any consideration of this case
must take into account. the 1958,
Counci] under which Walker osten-
sibly, was acting. This directive or-
dered that military personnel and
facilities be used to arouse the
public to the menace of the cold
war. In other words, the military
was to assume the function of in-
forming the public.
Two questions..are .raised.
Firstly, should Walker and other
officers have substituted their own
views for those of the administra-
tion as they carried out the dir-
ective of informing the public about
the dangers of, Communism? Sec-|
ondly, should the military be in-
volved at all in the education of
the public, whether it follows. offi-
cial positions’ or not? In other
words, is: the. National Security
Council directive itself at fault?
The answer to the first question
is clearly negative. It.-has been, a
basic tenet of American govern-
me ince its beginnings that the
mihi is subordinate to . ¢ivilian
auntie ‘and must’adhere to admin-
istration policies. Qur country has
never been plagued with the prob-
lem of a military’ which. engages
in politics, We must not allow such
men as Walker to upset civilian
authority over the_military.
The Nationaf™Security Council
directive itself is at fault. Educa-|-
tion of the public is not the domain,
of the armed forces. The military
has no business informing the pub-
lic of the communist. danger. If we
wish to prevent the activities of a
man such as Walker, we should
not merely instruct him to adhere
to official positions.. We must ‘eli-
minate any opportunities for him
to express political vews to the
public,
But the problem is not limited to
officers’ having substituted their
oun. views-for-the--oficial position=|4
Also involved are the connections
between military officers and_poli-
tical groups. These men were
using litérature supplied by poli-
tical groups and_were lending their
official prestige and status to the
activities.of private groups. If the
military is ta be respected, its offi-

ator Fulbright and President Ken-
nedy have said, “nothing would do
more grave damage to the pres-
tige and integrity of the Armed
Forces than their embroilment in
transitory partisan “controversies.”
General Walker was involved |*
not only in the indoctrination of
the public but of his troops as well.
This action is also clearly wrong.
In the cold war, the military is a
permanent , institution. Almost
every young man.spends some. time
in the service. Are we to subject
every soldier, soon to return to
civilian life, to ideological indoc-
trination? It.is well worth a few
defectors to ‘the Communists to
maintain freedom of thought.
Some’ of those who defend the
activities of General Walker argue
that the military fully understands
the danger of Communism and has
a duty to inform the public of
these dangers. No view could be
more mistaken. It is true thatthe

The Turn Toward Peace Wash-
ington Project became a reality on
Friday morning, Feb. 16. Hundreds
of students also visited embassies,
congressmen'and government ag-
encies. I stood by a table which
was covered by lists of the con-
gressmen and senators, and the
students were assigned in groups
of three. As noon approached more
than 3850 congressional appoint-
ments had been made, and policy
statements of the Washington Pro-|
ject were delivered to the remain-
ing representatives,
The majority of students were
politely received and discussed the
government policy on nuclear test-
ing, civil defense and disarmament.
Because Congressmen and govern-
ment officials: are specialists: in
only one or two fields (and not ne-
cessarily in disarmament and civil
defense), they rely -on public opi-
nion and pressure groups to help
them decide how to vote.

uable as.a catalyst; specifically, to
stimulate the development of a
peace lobby, afid to develop an ac-
tive and educated group of citizens.
It attempted to stimulate inter-

start campus discussion groups.
The Project also gave students a
chance to learn a method of exer-
cising power—the power of in-
fluencing congressional votes.

of government is to” preserve ¢
hin society, not to order society:
Tower argued. further that
ciety should ' be based upon the
liberty of individuals rather than.
equality of individuals. The. two
are not entirely compatible. : He
felt two egalitarian ‘concepts
shouldbe stressed—equality in_the
eyes of the law and equal suffrage.
If equality of individuals is forced
beyond these two concepts, society
will suffer. It is the very presence
of the inequality which acts as a
stimulus. to individual incentive
and it is this incentive which sti-|
mulated progress.
Not Birchers
In the-discussfon period follow-
ing his speech Senator-Tower was
asked the inevitable. question—“Are
you a member of the John Birch
Society?” His answer was, I be-
lieve, representative of most Con-
servative thought on this question.
He termed the leadership of “the
John Birch Society “unfortunate”
and denied any connection ‘with
the organization. I want to empha-
size that although a majority of
majority of Conastyatives are not
Birchers.
M. Stanton Evans, a 1955 gra-
duate of Yale, now editor of the
Indianapolis News, and William H.
Peterson, Associate Professor \of
Economics at N. Y..U., conducted
seminars. These seminars revealed
that while Conservatives hold basie
beliefs in common,’ they are not
so totally-in agreement on matters
of policy. While Tower showed
reservations about the advisability
of United States’ adoption of a
free trade policy, Peterson active-
ly supported such measures.

Continued from ‘Page . Col.. i
“On July 21, 1961, the New York
+
Times contained an article announ-}
cing that “The Defense Depart-|
ment has issued a directive plac-
ing restraints on the freedom of
_ military officers to advocate Right-
wing politica] theories in official
publie-appearances.” This directive,
the article stated, was caused by a
memorandum from Senator J. W.
Fulbright. When Senator Strom
Thurmond attempted to obtain a
copy. of the memorandum, ° Ful-
bright refused to give “him one.
When Thurmond made a_§three-
hour speech in the Senate on July
26 concerned with the muzzling of
. the military, the Washington press
did not print one word of it. On
August 2, Thurmond finally ob-
tained a copy of the. Fulbright
memorandum-and-inserted it in the
Congressional Record. The memo-
randum, expressing the contain-
ment policy of the Kennedy Ad-
ministration, states, in one vital
passage: “In the long run, it is
quite possible that the grincipal
problem of leadership will be, if it
is not already, to restrain the de-
__ sire of the people to hit the Com-
“munists with everything we've got,
particularly if there qre more
Cubas__and_ Laoses. ‘Pride_in. vic-
tory, and frustratién in restraint,
during the Korean War, led to
MacArthur’s revolt. and eau
ism.”
There are some seiiithens who
remember that MacArthur once
stated: “In war there is no sub-
stitute for victory.” There are
many, we hope, who still agree
with him.
Communism is an aggressive
enemy. “Are the very soldiers who
_are sworn by oath to preserve their
countfy from internal and external
enemies to be blinded, by ‘executive
censorship,.-to..the potent dangers
® of Communism? Are we, by ar-
bitrary mandates of senators, cab-
inet heads, and presidents to be
kept from. knowing who our ene-

defeated ?
One can sympathize with a
group of naval officers who wrote
