Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 24, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky Admiral Rickover i was looking through sheets of Bills passed by Congress and approved by president and came across Public Law 85-826 which is Quot to authorize chairman of joint committee on atomic Energy to Confer a medal on rear Admiral Hyman George Rickover United states Well this is very Nice indeed sum of $2,500 is appropriated for purpose of having a Gold a medal struck and presented to Admiral Hyman George Rickover United states Navy. Also duplicates in Bonze of such a medal Are to be coined and sold to cover Cost thereof. I do not know where such a medal can be purchased if you care to have a duplicate in Bronze. But question still arises whether Admiral Rickover father of a Tom in powered submarine. Is to be promoted so that lie can remain in Navy and continue to use mind and abilities in interest of United states this country is not so Rich in Talent that it can afford to Lese any. As for Admiral Rick Over. There is no doubt whatsoever that he can get a Good Job with private Industry just As general Douglas Macarthur general Lucius Clay and other men whose talents arc of value to country Are Selling electric razors tin cans and other commodities that might just As Well be mad and sold by lesser minds. If general Macarthur. For instance had not been push i aside our situation in East might not be so perilous today. Too to or Admiral Rickover is a Symbol of this carelessness about talented men. We have moved into a new kind of warfare into a world o. New idea it new methods new strategy and new tactics just not one picture John Foster Dulles is in Rome attending Popes funeral he holds a conference there with French and West German foreign ministers. He then takes plane to London dinner with British foreign minister he thereupon returns to plan. Flies Over North pole to Formosa to enter into conferences with Chiang Kai Shek he left Rome sunday after lunch he left London sunday shortly Atter to p. In he arrived on Formosa i be slav at 10 08 a. M. That is Speed of diplomacy these Days. It gives a slight picture by Speed of War. Perhaps by line that such a peril May be upon us. If we have notice of 18 minutes pc shall be fortunate. In world War ii we took 18 months to warm up in such an sphere Talent is required to meet every exigency. Talent is difficult to find. It is not everywhere in everybody. Of course Many human beings believe themselves to be neglected and deserted talents ignored by those in authority but fact remains that when one done such a Job a Admiral Hyman Rickover done for United states he Lias demonstrated exceptional value 9 a it matters Little that some naval men believe that dignity of Navy requires that Only line officers should hold top brass titles. What United states to worry about is not dignity of admirals but ability of United states to defend itself. It might also be said that Admiral Rickover is not an indispensable Man and that ii he had not fathered someone else would have which is undoubtedly True. However he did do that Job just As Edison did Job on tin electric Light and Marconi on radio and there Are historians and scientists w ii o will contest that they were great first just As there Are those who say Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare Bat that someone else did. Too fact remains that Rickover did this feat Aga Las great opposition among naval men who regard ideas As ridiculous. The truth is that our atom driven submarines have already achieved wonders and we shall have a Fleet of them and it May so happen that Many of line officers will Halo doff their and Wear overalls. We Are living in a different age to repeat Talent is a rare Quality that routine minds Are a a dime a dozen that when Man of Talent Are found they should treasured and their particular talents should be put to work for Benefit of United state.
