FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1945 Navy's Twenty-year Man Now Teaches Meteorology Statistics show that twenty years service in he Navy is a notable record in itself. But to have been present at the famous meeting of the late President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill when they for mulated the so-called Atlantic Charter, is an expLrience of which few 2 , 0-year men can boast. Commander Frank B. Stephens, whose official release from the Navy is slated for 'September 27, taught his first class in meteorol ogy Tuesday. fielder of a 13.3. from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, IMd., and aneM.S. from the California Insti tute,' of Technology in Pasadena, Calsf.,. the. .Commander can also boast of a letter of commendation prom Admiral B. J. ;King, corn-. rnander-in-chief of the United States fleet in the Atlantic. In August, 1941, the Commander was in charge of a Naval Air Sta tion at Argentia, Newfoundland, When he received word that a large detachment of American ships were coming into the har bor. His orders were strict; there were to be no communications of any kind and no one was to leave the station. Thus the President and the Prime Minister conferred, and the Atlantic Charter was born. Served, On China Patrol Serving on the gunboat Sacra mento for two years, Commander Stephens was on China patrol, and is qualified to suggest the opinion that- China now is in much the same situation that the 'United States was during the pre-Consti tution period. The country has no strong central tie, he explained. "I believe China is enough of a nation to be treated as a nation,' deClared the new faculty member, "but there is still a great amount of nationalization to be done. China is not a nation in the sense that the United States is. in this country we are interested in what goes on in New York or San Fran cisco or Houston; with the average. Chinese, there is no interest as ti 'Blithe Spier— (Continued from . page one) her.

The former wg:ther forecaster went on to cite an instance when his ship iwas docked in a Chinese port and ‘1.3 Filipino mess boys were exchanged for .13 Chinese mess boys. He emphasized that the Chinese servants came from all different sections of the country and their dialects were so different that they were unable to under stand each other. They soon found that it was easier to pick up a little English than learn the other fel. low's dialect. Cities Speak Different Dialects "Not only does each Chinese city speak a different dialect," . Com mander Stephens declared, "but the monetary systems differ from one section of the country to an other. Loyalty among the Chinese is primarily to the family. Ties be tween families might 'be compared with that of ties between (Indian tribes of !North America during the time of Columbus and the early explorers." When asked his opinion about permanent peace with Japan, Commander Stephens said, "The only !permanent peace can Ibe ob tamed by a polidy of stern enforce • ment of surrender terms as well as a widespread educational bal. icy." The 'former meteorology student has also conducted air operations in forecasting 'weather for 'planes lbased in Alaska and the Aleutians and has served on the U. S. S. Saratoga. Instructs At Annapolis After his return to the States from 'Ne?foundland in July, 1942 Commander Stephens was ordered to the United States Naval Air Station in Annapolis, Md., .where he not only forecasted weather but also helped train weather person • nel for the Navy. When an eye in jury impaired his vision in No vember? 1943, he was put on th-2 retired list. The Commander plans to work for his doctorate, at the 'College.
