Defense authorities for the officer at 2915. first time are imposing uniform (TIS) prerequi- sites for hikes to die lower grades. The minimum TIS standards currently used are generally lower than the new requirements except in the Marine Corps. A policy directive will put the new rules into effect on July 1, 1972, Defense officials said, but the services may decide to phase-i- n the policy by starting earlier to increase TIS requirements. UNDER TERMS of the new promotion controls, the total service normally required for hikes to grade E-- 2 will be at least four months, to grade E-- 3 at least 12 months, to grade E-- 4 at least 21 months and to grade E-at least 33 months. There will continue to be provisions for partial waiver of the minimum requirements to accommodate some of the service's special programs. Some programs give men faster hikes, for instance, for outstanding performance in certain types of training. Waiver provisions are limited to a percentage of those in a given grade and will vary from 10 to 35 percent, officials reported. CONTROLS ON promotions to the higher grades have been in effect for years, both as minimum service times required as an average in each grade and as of total ceiling percentages strength permitted in each grade. The Defense decision to set minimum prerequisites for the lower ranks apparently was prompted by several factors: congressional criticism of 5 too-rap- id promotions, the increasing share Elder Paul Dunn To Speak at Grantsville Stake Conference Soldier of the Month Specialist 4 Anthony T.

Fqday,;Ftebruary 4, 1972 y All DTC E4s, to discontinue regular testing of Vietnam personnel going on leave or R&R as the program concurrently got underway to carry out unannounced testing. THE ASSISTANT Defense Secretary for Health and Environment, Dr. Richard S. Wilbur, at a recent press conference, attributed much of the success of die services anti --dnig program in Vietnam to the deterrent effect of knowing that there will be a random- - screen mandatory urinalysis test - and tonight may be the night." Officials said the objective of the program is to provide early identification of people who need treatment and rehabilitation, and to help them recover liefore there is serious physical or psychological deterioration. The Tooele County Chapter of the American Red Cross is holding a blood drawing Thursday, February 10 at the NCO Open Mess. The hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Donors will be given four hours administrative leave. They must have been back from a tour in Southeast Asia at least one year and have not been a Malaria . if. Leadership course Random tests to begin The Defense Department this week announced that servicemen throughout the world will be subject to drug abuse testing on a random liasis. The worldwide random testing program will be in full operation by July 1, 1972. ROUTINE testing by urinalysis has been carried out by the various services on a pre announced basis - for example, all individuals leaving the command-bu- t random testing has been done previously only in Vietnam. Under provisions of the new testing program, the Pentagon said, military personnel on extended active duty throughout the world will be subject to urinalysis testing at unannounced times and for an unspecified number of times. Officials said the tests can detect opiates, amphetamines and and barbiturates. Marijuana hasish cannot Ire detected by Urinalysis. No check is made for other possible medical conditions, such as anemia or diabetes, according to officials. SA1CON recently reported that authorities there were considering exempting officers and senior NCO's from the test program, based on almost complete absence of dnig abuse in those grades. However, the Pentagon apparently wants to gain more experience with random testing anybody is exempted. As part of the continuing review and analysis of the Vietnam test program the Army increases or eliminates certain tests rased on results achieved over a period of time. An example of such an adjustment was the recent decision iilf Elder Paul H. Dunn, a member of the First Council of Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, will speak at the Grantsville Stake Conference Saturday and Sunday, February 5 and 6, in Grantsville. Elder Dunn, former president of the New England Mission, was a teacher and coordinator in the Churchs Seminary and Institutes programs. He also is the author of books on teaching techniques. He was a professional baseball player prior to receiving a doctorate in educational administration from the University of Southern California. The Conference session will be held Sunday at 10 a.m. in the Stake Center, 115 East taieriy Street. Visitors are welcome. Following is a . schedule of meetings and those to attend: Saturday, February 5 - 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Elder Paul Dunn, Stake Presidency, Stake Clerk, Stake Executive Secretary. 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.: Elder Dunn, Stake Presidency,' High Council, Bishoprics, Stake and Ward Clerks, Stake and Ward Executive Secretaries. 6:00 p.m. - Lunch for General Authority served by Clark Ward. 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. - Leadership meeting. Theme: Making Priesthood Leadership More Effective'. Those to attend are: Stake Presidency, High Council, Executive Secretary and Executive Clerks, Bishoprics, Secretaries and Ward Clerks, Melchizedck Priesthood Quorum Presidencies, Unit Leaders, Croup leaden, and secretaries; Ward Aaronic Priesthood General Sec- - of military budgets, devoted to costs, and die uppersonnel coming transition to a situation where the services .might be tempted to bid for recruits with offen of fast grade boosts.- The fact that TIS requirements have been rather low doesn't mean all men have been promoted that rapidly, on the average, officials said. Indeed, many have taken much longer. But Congress recently has been ft .... highly critical of the Pentagons tendency to promote men as a means of boosting their pay. AS A RESULT of recent general pay raises, the significance of the lower grade promotions as a means of boosting pay has become much less. For men with fewer than two years serto E-- 4 vice, hikes from Eincrease pay only $58.80 monthly. More than half the increase, $32.70 is gained by the hike to -l E-- 2. In addition to the pay aspect, the increasingly top heavy structure of die military forces has been hit by congressional critics. Slowing hikes to the lower grades will tend to offset the high average strengths in the higher grades. Gen. Miley to visit DTC Feb. 9 General Henry A. Miley, Jr., commanding general, U.S. Army Materiel Command, will visit DTC Dugway Proving Ground, Wednesday, February 9. Gen. Miley will be die featured speaker at the Deseret Test Center Dining In to be held that evening at the Dugway Officers Open Mess. The Utah Governor Calvin L. Rampton will attend the Dining In ceremonies. The Dining In is a traditional formal gathering within die command and has a proud heritage dating far back to die early days of the Cavalry regiments. Its purpose is to promote unit pride, recognize the unity of the services, insure recognition of individual and unit achievements and to foster the and fellowship, comradship esprit which exists between senior and junior officers of the military services. The Army is the host service for this winter Dining In ceremony, and Colonel Arthur J. Kingdom, DPC commander will dividuals in the basic techniques of carrying out their duties and responsibilities as they supervise and direct subordinates. of SATISFACTION this fundamental , requirement includes improving motivation of these junior leaden and supervi-so- n to serve their men and to carry out their responsibilities without hesitation or lbritism. Specialist 5 Larry L. Lindsey of the military personnel office at Dugway attended the basic leadership course at Ft Canon during the week of Jan. The classes stressed basic leadership problems and techniques, according to Sp5 Lindsey. He said the classes also emphasized procedures for effective presentation of Army instruction culminating in individual instruction periods on a military subject of the students' choice. SOME OF the classes included in the training schedule are fundamentals of physical training, drug abuse, traits and principles 17-2- 1. five-minu- te of leadership, inspections, conduct of an NCO, speech practice and race relations. Sp5 Lindsey called die training generally good; the leader-dii- p part would help in civilian life, even if one didnt want to stay in the Army. The specialist felt, however, that some of die training did not really apply to a support type of unit such as at Dugway. Basic leadership training is generally offered in NCO academies, service school courses and in local. troop schools. However, the Army in a TACO (Adjutant General) letters tocommand-er- s throughout the world said accomplishment of this formal training cannot be delayed until all junior leaders and specialists can be accommodated through these methods. 's AND 'i attending the course should have sufficient time remaining on current term of service (normally four months) to be able to use die instruction. The Department of die Army goal is completion of all training within one year.
