2 Th Newj Rtview, Roseburg, Or. Fri., Nov. 24, 1961 Local Naval Reserve Facilities Inspected By District Commander Top braM of the 13th Naval Dis trict looked over facilities of the Naval Reserve Klectronic Divi sion 13-7 and conferred with com munity leaders and public officials during a visit lo Roseburg Wed nesday. At noon Rfar Adm. OTge C. Towner, commandant, and mem bers of his staff from Seattle, were entertained at a luncheon in the Hose Hotel. The event was at tended by business leaders along with city, county and other offi cials. Towner, heading all Navy ac tivities in the Pacific Northwest, has supervision over 10.000 active duty personnel, 12,000 civilian em ployes and 33.000 Naval Reserv ists in a region embracing Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. His office is over 56 Naval com mands and 27 facilities. The admiral told the luncheon group he feels "some citizens have the notion our reservists are just playing soldier." This impression, he stressed, is not shared by the Navy. He point ed out the Navy is presently man nod at an austere peacetime level and in the event of a national emergency the Navy'i opera tions would soon come to a "grind ing halt" if it had no reserve ele ment. As far as the reserve program is concerned," he said, "The Navy needs men who are trained, have orders in their hip pockets" and are ready to serve when needed. The officers said he doubted there will be additional increase in Navy Reserve recall except to maintain present Navy strength by replacing reserves as their 12 month duty comes to an end. He also commented that reserves will not be called upon to serve beyond the 12 months ordered under the involuntary recall.
