EXECUTIVE OEEICER MARTIN KATZ Lt. Commander, USN Lieutenant Commander Martin KATZ enlisted in the Naval Reserve in August 1945, and then, after a brief period of active duty, returned to civilian life in June, 1946, maintaining his membership in the Re- serve. He passed the next three years as a student of Industrial Management at City College of New York and graduated in June 1949, as a Bachelor of Business Administration. In August 1950 he was com- missioned in the USNR; he remained, however, on inactive duty and pursued a civilian career in textile sales in New York City. In 1953 he was called to active duty as communications Officer aboard the USS BENHAM (DD-796), where he served until his return to the textile busi- ness in 1955. In December 1956, Mr. KATZ augmented as Lieutenant, U. S. Navy, and reported aboard the USS R. K. HUNTINGTON (DD- 781) as Operations Officer. In January 1958, he hifted to the West Coast to enter the General Line School, Monterey, California, for one year ' s postgraduate work. In late 1958, he returned to sea duty aboard USS MAURY (AGS-16) as Operations Officer. His next change of station occurred in March 1960 when he became Engineering Officer on the USS EVERGLADES (AD-24) for two years, at the conclusion of which he moved to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Logistics War Plans Branch, as Assistant for Logistic Support Plans (OP 05 DI). He reported to the BEATTY in July 1964 - just in time to join pre- parations for deployment. LCDR KATZ thus brings to his post a wealth of experience in varied types of ships. He is married to the former Frances Kaplan of New York City. Together, Mr. and Mrs. KATZ command a family of three children.

STAFF A special page devoted to those members of the wardroom whose duties, being somewhat loosely defined, deserve special treatment. MARTY REVISITED from Piraeus Pirate 26 November 1964 In all honesty, it must be said that the Doctor and the Chap- lain have less to do aboard BEATTY than anyone else. The only difference is that the Doc has two assistants to help him. Naturally, this leads to much leisure time, and the Doc and the Chaps have become fast friends in order to conquer their com- mon enemy, boredom. The setting for the following scenario is the wardroom. Time about 1000, after the Doc and the Chaps have had theii ' late breakfast. (It was falsely reported that one day Doc made Officer ' s Call). Doc: Well, Chaps, what are we gonna do today? Chaps: I dunno, Doc. What do you wanna do? Doc: (After pregnant pause). Jeez, I dunno. (Long Silence) Chaps: Well, we could stroll about the main deck. Doc: I dunno, the sun ' s pi ' etty hot today. Chaps: Yeah, that ' s right. (Long pause) Doc: I guess I could read some medical journals. Chaps: That ' s too much like work. You trying to make me feel bad or something? Doc: Naw, I ' m not going to read them. I was just thinking about it. Chaps: What do you wanna do today, Doc? Doc: Jeez, I dunno. What do you wanna do? Chaps: I ' ve got no ideas. How about you? Doc: How about shuffleboard? Then we could go for a swim in the fresh water pool. Afterwards, we could have a couple of gin and tonics and then lunch. Chaps: Sure, Doc. Sounds great. (Long pause) Doc: Well, Chaps, what do you really want to do? Chaps: I dunno. The rays are pretty good today. We could always retii-e to the 01 Level. Doc: Yeah, but we did that yesterday. Don ' t you have any new ideas? Chaps: I dunno. Doc. Doc: (Angrily) I dunno, I dunno! Can ' t you say anything besides that? Chaps: What do you wanna do today. Doc? Doc: Jeez, I dunno. (Long silence) Let ' s go to our office and catch some rays. Chaps: We did that yesterday, Doc. Doc: We did it the day before and the day before that. So what ' s new? Chaps: I dunno. Doc. DESDIV 202 CHAPLAIN LT JOHN Chaps ' ALLEN Newport. R. I. University of Texas. B. A. Episcopal Seminary, Southwest, B. D. DESDIV 202 DOCTOR LT ALAN Mattapan, Mass.
