REPLY CONCERNING MILITARY RECORDS RE: 1c C 18054 The reply to the inquiry will be found in the checked items). If you write to us again on this subject, please return your original request, this form, and any other form you complete. Copies of requested military _medical records are attached. We suggest you make an extra copy and guard against loss'or damage. We regret if any photocopies may be of poor quality, but they are the best copies obtainable. The attached separation document may include the following information: authority for separation, reason for separation, Reenlistment Eligibility Code, and Separation (SPN/SPD) Code. If you require a copy of the separation document that does not contain the above information, you may request a deleted copy from this Center. A seal has been affixed to the enclosed copy to attest to its authenticity. Title 32, Part 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations prohibits this Center from providing to third parties copies of separation documents which contain the type and character of discharge, authority and narrative reason for separation, reenlistment eligibility code, and separation program designator/number. If you require a copy of the separation document containing the above information, the veteran must specifically authorize the release to you of an UNDELETED copy of the separation document. The Privacy Act of 1974 does not permit the release of a social security number or other personal information to the public without the authorization of the veteran concerned; therefore, we have deleted personal identifying data relating to other persons Since September 1979 the military service departments have not issued individual separation documents for each enlistment period if the person was discharged for immediate reenlistment. Block 18 of the DD Form 214 issued at final separation reflects the full period of continuous active military service. The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code issued upon release from active duty on is The reason and authority for separation from active duty/discharge on _ _iS The record of service in the indicates being in a POW status from to A discharge certificate is issued only as an original document; thus, there is no file copy from which to make a copy for you. We will obtain an appropriate substitute certificate for a veteran or surviving spouse if you will tell us whether the original was: 1) never received; or (2) lost or destroyed. The document you have requested, DD Form 214, Report of Separation, was not used until Jan. 1, 1950. However, a similar form was used at the time the person named above was separated. A copy of it is attached. A seal has been affixed to the enclosed copy to attest to its authenticity. When the person named above was separated, it was not the practice to issue a document which served as a report of separation. The original report of separation was issued at the time of separation. Another original cannot be issued. The attached copy, however, will serve the same purpose as the original. No report of separation was issued, since the person named above had no active service, or less than 90 days of active duty for training The service record of the person named above does not contain a copy of a report of separation, or its equivalent. Therefore, we are instead providing the attached NA Form 13038, Certification of Military Service. This will serve as verification of military service and may be used for any official purpose That portion of your request seeking medals/awards has been referred to the office checked below, which has jurisdiction over the issuance of medals/awards. Any further correspondence on this subject should be addressed to that office. Both offices are at 9700 Page Ave., St. Louis, MO 63132 ARPERCEN, Attn: DARP-VSE-A • Navy Liaison Office, Room 5409 That portion of your request regarding Air Force or Army Air Corps medals will be answered under separate cover. The medical records requested The documents requested pertaining to discharge have been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Please phone the VA at 1-800-827-1000 for help in obtaining these records, and provide your VA Claim Number, The Department of Defense Privacy Program, 32 CFR 310.30(f), allows for the disclosure of medical records to the individual to whom they pertain. A portion of the requested medical records, however, contains information which can be interpreted and explained properly only by a physician. If you wish us to send copies to a designated physician, please provide us with the name and address of that physician. The request MUST INCLUDE the written consent (signature) of the person whose records are involved, authorizing the release of the records to the designated physician.

ATTACHMENT SUMMARY: This attachment outlines the exceptional circumstances and factors Which dictate this officer's action in requesting voluntary retirement.- It reviews his specialized experience in the development of physical security and allied equipment, which work has occupied most of his time since 1946 and has made him the governmental authority in this field. It further describes, the results of an informal unofficial survey he has just completed which accents the widely accepted need for im- provement in our national industrial security program. In view of the recent abolishment of the Physical Security Equipment Agency of which he was the Director, the most expedient way to fill the need appears to be through the establishment of an independent civil organi- zation working closely with the Office of Defense Mobilization and the Department of Defense. If this request is approved he intends to devote all of his efforts thereafter to this important task. Ref. Para. 2.f. (PART II) Dept. Air Force Message, No. AFPMP-4BC ALMAJCOM 660/54 dtd 11 June 1954

Page 61

BACKGROUND: The decision to take this voluntary retirement action was taken only after the most thorough deliberation. It has been the most im- portant one made by him in his entire military career, and it is also the most considered one, for he has been preoccupied with it ever since 4 March 1954 when a Department of Defense Directive abolished the Physical Security Equipment Agency (PSEA) of which he was the Director. He had been selected to head that Agency at its inception and served for the three years of its existence. During that time the Agency became the recognized authority within the government in the field of security equipment and it has an excellent record of un- selfish service to the many agencies with which it was associated. He had also been serving as Chairman of the Federal Committee on Security Equipment since its organization in the fall of 1953. Since 1946 this officer has devoted practically all of his efforts (about 20, 000 hours) fighting Communism through technical means by developing security and investigative equipment. He consciously selected this specialized field of work in lieu of a conventional career in aeronautical Research and Development with full appreciation of the lack of opportunity for advancement in the more specialized field. He was firmly convinced that he could best serve the interests of 2

Page 62

national security by such action. He realized that: - Just as a nation's organization for war depends on the technical weapons which are on hand - so does a nation's facilities security program depend on the technical security equipments which are available! It is estimated that less than 10% of the technical equipment considered necessary to implement a realistic facilities security program has been developed to date. We are in an advanced technological age yet our guard systems, both industrial and military, have changed little since biblical days! As Deputy Commanding General (I-2 Intelligence), then Chief, Intelligence Department, Headquarters, Air Materiel Command, for the period December 1946 - August 1949, the undersigned managed a specialized laboratory known as the Science Survey Office (SSO) which developed certain classified types of security and investigative equip- ment. That laboratory was abolished for unknown reasons shortly after subject officer was transferred August 1949 to the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. From there he was assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency, leaving 1 March 1951 to become Director of the newly activated Physical Security Equipment Agency. Copies of pertinent directives are attached as Tabs A, B, and C. The need for such an activity as the SSO had continued to exist after its close-out in 1949. The advent of the Korean War so accentuated this need that the Management Committee, Office of the Secretary of Defense, after detailed deliberations, established 3

Page 63

PSEA to ensure extension of the work of the earlier laboratory (SSO). PSEA was a joint project under the management control of the Depart- ment of the Air Force with the responsibility for providing for the development of physical security and related investigative equipment as a common service for all agencies of the Department of Defense. It is estimated that PSEA had met only about 10% of its chartered responsibilities during its existence. There are several reasons for this state of performance; they include: a. The initial small staff of 25 was never increased, as was planned, in proportion to the work-load that developed. b. R&D funds for programmed activities were frozen as of March 1953 after less than two years of operation, the first funds not being made available until May 1951. c. The Agency never operated under its revised Charter (Tab C) which would have insured full cooperation of the Military Services through the PSEA Policy Board. The Agency's efforts concerning security equipment were just coming to fruition in the shape of a detailed R&D program, as the result of almost three years of background research work, when its untimely end came. Government agencies other than the Department of Defense which had come to depend almost solely on PSEA on physical security matters dealing with improved equipment included the GSA, State Department, AEC, NSA and CIA.

Page 64

The matter of the Agency's continued existence had been under con- sideration by the Deputy Secretary of Defense since March 1953. The three Military Departments and the Office, Domestic Security Programs of OSD, all represented on the PSEA Policy Board, are on record as having supported the continuance of the Agency's activities, thus verifying the need for its services particularly in the security equipment field which constituted about 85% of its effort the last year of operations. The Agency and its functions were abolished 4 March 1954 per Department of Defense Directive No. 5154. 9 (Tab D). Although there was no stated reason, it is surmised that this action was intended in the interests of economy for it is understood that some other activities were stricken from the FY 1955 budget following the informal principle that any R&D activity would be dropped that did not directly support a weapon or weapons system already in or scheduled for production. This con- tradiction between the existing need for the Agency's services and the act of abolishing the Agency and its functions, leads to the conclusion that the Department of Defense does not consider the development of security equipment to be its responsibility. This apparently leaves the matter up to industry. This premise appears to be consistent with administrative policy. THE NEED: Assuming that the present policy of the Department of Defense in 5

Page 65

regards to its industrial security program is limited to the statement of policies and principles, it is apparent that the most practical and sensible way to fill the void between policy and an adequate working security system in the defense industries is to follow the precedent of the Civil Defense and disaster control organizations and have the Government en- courage the formation of an independent civil project in accordance with established principles of our competitive free-enterprise economy. Such a project would eventually be a large one and should preferably be a non- profit organization of the highest standards in the tradition of Air Force Project RAND, the Battelle Memorial Institute and others. It is believed that the importance of protecting our defense industry facilities (as well as our military installations) against sabotage does not require documentation here as it has been a subject of comment by the President of the United States, members of Congress, and other Government officials for some time. The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has stated to a Congressional Committee to the effect that the technical problems of his agency have increased ten-fold in the past one and one-half decades. In connection with Mr. Hoover's statement, there is substantial evidence that the USSR has spent an estimated 50 times more effort in the past 20 years than has been ex- pended in this country on equipment matters associated with those of PSEA. It is noted that existing burglary protection systems of the 6

Page 66

central station type are less than fifty percent effective in preventing penetration of the protected areas by unskilled burglars. On the other hand, protection against thoroughly trained saboteurs must be near perfect because the saboteur can be considered to have accomplished his mission once the penetration has been effected. It is estimated that overall physical security in our key defense industries can be improved in the order of four to five hundred per- cent over a period of several years by the use of proper security equipment and systems. The sums now being spent by the Depart- ment of Defense for industrial and military security are described by the Industrial Security Division (OSD) as "staggering" and are ex- clusive of the security clearance program. The amount is classified so it is not included here. A gain of several hundred percent in the overall physical security of our Strategic Air Command bases should be possible and would be of inestimable value. When it is considered that it costs an average of $20,000. 00 per year to man one guard post in industry using civilian guards, and that military guards cost about $40, 000.00 per year per post, it appears possible to replace much of this fallible human factor with advanced technological equipment with a resulting gain in security, plus substantial savings in both money and manpower.- 1/ Article dated 15 March 1954.

*. .. THE REMEDY: During periods of leave since 4 March 1954, while acting unofficially and solely as an individual, this officer has consulted informally with representative industrialists and with casualty insurance and plant pro- tection officials concerning industrial security problems and what an individual such as himself might be able to accomplish were he retired from active service. He has also talked with pertinent personnel within the Department of Defense and Government and from this research has established that there is a nation-wide need within our Defense industries for the formation of an Industrial Security Engineering Service (ISES), or the like, to serve the same purpose regarding protection against sabotage as the various commercial Fire Protection services accom- plish in regard to protection against fire. It has also been established that no such service as an ISES now exists. The reaction to his pro- posed solution to the problem has been most encouraging and has been accepted informally as being soundly conceived in principle, operationally practicable and economically justifiable. If properly implemented, it has promise to fill a serious void in our industrial security program which otherwise cannot be expected to be supplied for many years now that the PSEA organization and functions have been abolished. Subject officer is tentatively scheduled to be assigned in the near 8

Page 68

future to Headquarters, Air Materiel Command, where presumably he will engage in procurement work. His primary AFSC is Research and Development Director (8416) with secondary AFSC - Staff Intelligence Officer (2016). Including postgraduate schooling, he has served in these categories for the past twenty years. Because of his experience, subject officer considers himself to be the logical individual to under- take such a civil project as outlined above and is willing to sacrifice the almost certain security that continued military service would afford in order to make the attempt. He has the deepest and most sincere convictions that the best in- terests of national security will be served if he is permitted to retire from active military service to dedicate himself to serve a cause for which he is most uniquely qualified.

COPY CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena Daniel Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory December 14, 1940 Subject: Course of Instruction in Aeronautical Engineering at the California Institute of Technoligy. To: The Adjutant General (Through Channels). 1. The undersigned desires to explain in detail the course of instruction he is undertaking at the California Institute of Technology. It is requested that this letter be attached to his personnel file. 2. No. -3-, • D. Washington, 4 June, 1940, the undersigned started the summer course in aeronautical engineering July 15, 1940. He had previously in 1935 received the Master of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering at this school. Upon entrance this past July he applied for and was admitted to Candidacy for Doctor of Philosophy Degree. Because the regular summer course was too limited for credits toward this latter degree; additional credits to total sixty-five (65) were taken and received for the summer term. Upon detail here from the Materiel Division, Wright Field, Ohio, he had been directed by Bridadier General (Then Lieut. Col.) 0. P. Echols to further perfect his knowledge of aircraft propellers, on which subject he has specialized the past six years. As there is no regular course in propellers, and as he has taken the majority of the aeronautical subjects during the year 1934-35 in addition to those subjects studied at the Air Corps Engineering School in 1935-36, it was decided with members of the faculty that the following schedule of subjects be undertaken. This schedule meets the requirements for credits for Candidacy for Ph. Degree and permit specialized study on propeller matters. It is noted that although admitted to Candidacy that requirements for Ph. Degree can only partially be met this school year. Hence no degree will be received. The schedule follows:- 1. 2. 3. 4. Aeronautical Engineering Seminar. "1 Remarch. ) (Scheduled course totaling Aeronautical Mathematics Reading. ) 45 units.) Technical German. (Regular attendance at this class. It is required that a test be passed for Ph. Degree but no credits are allowed Craduate Students for class attendance.)

Page 135

The research problem item No. 2 is "The Control and Syn- chronization of Aircraft Propellers". The Math Reading item No. 3 consists of regular attendance at four classes, auditing each for whatever pertinent information concerning propellers in particular and associated airplane problems Advanced Problems in Airplane Design. Elasticity Applied to Aeronautics. Theoretical Aerodynamics. Engineering Mathematical Physics (Vibrations), In addition there is assigned and selective reading on vibrations, acoustics and advanced mathematics. The above course entails a minimum of sixty-five hours of study weekly. forty-five units of credits, however, are all that appear on the records forwarded to the Adjutant General. It was the desire to explain this that prompted this letter. It is requested that if the above schedule, which was undertaken this first of three school terms, does not meet the approval of the office Chief of the Air Corps, or The Adjutant General, that the undersigned be notified prior to January 6, 1941, to enable him to undertake some different schedule during the last two terms. s/.

IV. COMMENTS OF REPORTING OFFICER (Add any comments which will increase the objectivity of the rating. Include strengths or weaknesses not covered elsewhere in this report. Be factual and specific. Include herein suggested assignments or type of duty for which the officer is especially Whenever the officer is rated unsatisfactory or outstanding in Section V below, one or more actual incidents illustrating typical per- formances which justify the rating must be included. Specific comment will be made on promotion fitness when it is believed the officer reported on is particularly well qualified for promotion and should be promoted in advance of his contemporaries.) During the period of this report, the Physical Security Equipment Agency,of which Colonel McCoy was the Director, was in process of being abolished pursuant to directive of The Secretary of Defense. According-y, the Agency did not function in accordance with its Charter, and no actions were engaged in by the Agency or its Director which would provide the basis for any comments concerning Colonel McCoy's technical competence. The entire period of this report was devoted to the administrative work involved in making an orderly termination of the affairs of the Agency. This was handled jointly by personnel of the Headquarters Command, USAF; the Directorate, OSI; Colonel McCoy; and the few remaining Agency employees. While Colonel McCoy cooperated in this undertaking, the routine nature of the function performed by Colonel McCoy and Agency personnel, does not permit my rating him for the period involved as to his administrative competence. I have no knowledge as to the manner in which this officer, during the period of this report, carried out his civic responsibilities and represented the Air Force in his dealings with the public. V. OVERALL EVALUATION Compare this officer with other officers of the same grade. Remember that extremes of ability are rare. Be objective and impersonal. Think of the officer's performance over the entire rating period. Place an (X) in the appropriate box. UNSATISFACTORY AN ACCEPTABLE OFFICER A DEPENDABLE AND TYPICALLY EF- FECTIVE OFFICER.

V. COMMENTS OF REPORTING OFFICER (Add any comments which will increase the objectivity of the rating Include strengths or weaknesses not covered elsewhere in this report. Be factual and specific. Include herein suggested assignments or type of duty for which the officer is especially qualified. Whenever the officer is rated unsatisfactory or outstanding in Section V below, one or more actual incidents illustrating typical per- formances which justify the rating must be included. Specific comment will be made on promotion fitness when it is believed the officer reported on is particularly well qualified for promotion and shoutd be promoted in advance of his contemporaries.) The Physical Security Equipment Agency, of which Colonel McCoy is the Director, is a joint agency created by Department of Defense Directive and for which the Air Force during this particular period was designated Executive Agency. During the entire period of this report, the Agency has been in an exceedingly uncertain status, since the question as to its continued existence was pending before The Secretary of Defense with concrete indications that it might be abolished from one day to the next. (A Secretary of Defense Directive abolishing the Agency was finally issued on 4 March 1954• In view of the fact that the abolition or some other change in the status of the Agency was anticipated at all times, the Agency during the period of this report has not actually functioned to the extent provided for in its charter. The Agency operation therefore, was limited and Colonel McCoy as its Director was severely handicapped by lack of a clear-cut mission and delineation of responsibility, by lack of the full policy and procedural guidance which would have been provided him by the joint Policy Board had the status of the Agency been more clearly established, and by consequent inability to plan or program Agency efforts toward the attainment of clear-cut objectives. During this period I have had occasional personal and telephone contact with this officer as have members of my staff on a more frequent basis. However, in view of the "stand-by" status of the Agency and in fairness to the officer concerned, I do not feel that the nature and extent of my knowledge concerning this officer during the specific rating period involved is sufficiently concrete to warrant my advancing in an effectiveness rating my opinions or conclusions as to his job performance.

During the period covered by this report, when he has been primarily concerned with building his organization and giving it an operating capability, these traits have enabled him to accomplish a great deal technically with a very limited staff and under difficult conditions. The same intensity of interest and effort has made it difficult for him to work out some of the administrative and procedural headaches which have been occasioned by the unusual working relationships of this new organization.

A definite statement will be made as to the degree to which this officer exercises judgment in economical management of personnel and resources under his supervision, commensu rate with his responsibilities.) My evaluation of Colonel McCoy is based on infrequent contacts and routine observance of the results of his work. One outstanding feature is his enthusiasm, interest and drive in accomplishing his present assignment. I believe him to be highly competent in his presently assigned area and the results of his work indicate accomplishment of his assignment in an outstanding fashion. He undoubtedly possesses imagination, initiative and ingenuity. Minor administrative incidents which have occurred during his assignment indicate that he may be somewhat reluctant to accept regulations and routine administrative controls when these appear to interfere with the effective accomplishment of his mission. In this respect, his judgment may be subject to question, however, as of this date, with the information available to me, I would rate him as a superior officer of extreme value to the service. This officer is not an empire builder and exercises sound judgment in the economical management of personnel and resources under his supervision. VI.

Col McCOY, Howard M A018054 AF USAF SECTION II B. (Cont 'a) Isinclined to either forget or overlook the dollar costs in his effort to obtain maximum end results and for this reason, the administration and control of his organization have to be kept under constant close scrutiny by higher levels of management. I have discussed this officer's performance of duty with him, pointed out any deficiencies of which I was aware, and have suggested possible improvements and means of further development.

THIS SPACE FOR CONTINUATION OF REMARKS IF NEEDED TRIPLICATE COPY EXTRACTED IN AAF AFG.AS--5 1ST. IND Hq AAF, Washington 25, D. C., 20 August 1947 To: The Adjutant General, Washington 25, D. C. The Commanding General concurs in the above report. 1 Incl n/ c Caro EDWARD. E. Colonel, Air Corps Ass't, Air Adjutant Genera3. INSTRUCTIONS (SEE AR 600-185) 1. Efficiency ratings comprise an evaluation of an officer in comparision with others of the same grade. In a large group of officers, such as are normally assigned to an infantry division, the law of averages will establish that about twenty percent of the officers of each grade may be superior, about twenty percent may be in the two lower classifications of very satisfactory and satisfactory (Unsatisfactory officers should be identified promptly and reclassified), the remaining sixty per cent who constitute the mass of thoroughly capable officers would fall into the excellent category. Commanders of regiments and large units must analyze the reports prepared within their organization and whenever the distribution varies markedly from the above the reasons must be sought. It is highly important that officers who are genuinely superior be identified by their ratings so that their talents may be fully utilized. It is also important to identify those officers whose qualifications and standards of performance of duty are above the minimum required, but who are clearly below the standard established by the mass of officers of their grade. A series of reports of an individual officer should present a highly accurate evaluation of his worth. 2. Prior to filling in Section G of this report consider carefully the following definitions and the numerical values assigned to each. Keep them in mind when rating, taking into considera- tion the length of service of officer you are rating and the opportunities afforded him, which might have a bearing upon his performance of duty, personal characteristics, or professional qualifica- tions. Unsatisfactory: Performance of the particular duty reported upon or personal characteristics or professional qualifications below minimum standards-inefficient. Satisfactory: Performance of the particular duty reported upon or personal characteristics or professional qualifications up to minimum standard-passably efficient. Very Satisfactory: Performance of the particular duty reported upon in an efficient manner. Personal characteristics, professional qualifications, or efficiency above that acceptable as sat- factory. Excellent: Performance of the particular duty reported upon in a very efficient manner. Personal characteristics, professional qualifications, or efficiency above very satisfactory but below superior. Superior: Outstanding and exceptional performance of the particular duty reported upon. Personal characteristics, professional quelifications, or efficiency above that considered excellent. Unknown: To be used in all cases in which the re officer has had insufficient opportunity during the period cov ahis report to observe the officer reported upon to permit a rating as to the performance of the particular duty, nal characteristics, or professional qualifications. 1-10 • S.

FOR THE COMMANDING GENERAL: EDWARD E. TORO INSTRUCTIONS Colonel, Air Corps Air Adjutant 1. Efficiency ratings comprise en evaluation of an officer In comparision with others of the same grade. In a large group of officers, such as are normally assished to an infantry division, the law of averages will establish that about twenty percent of the officers of each grade may be superior, about twenty percent may be in the two lower classifications of very satisfactory and satisfactory (Unsatisfactory officers should be identified promptly and reclassified), the remaining sixty per cent who constitute the mass of thoroughly capable officers would fall into the excellent Commanders of regiments and large units must analyze the reports prepared within their organization and whenever the distribution varies markedly from the above the reasons must be sought. It is highly important that officers who are genuinely superior be identified by their ratings so that their talents may be fully utilized. It is also important to identify those officers whose qualifications and standards of performance of duty are above the minimum required, but who are clearly below the standard established by the mass of officers of their grade. A series of reports of an individual officer should present a highly accurate evaluation of his worth. 2. Prior to filling in Section G of this report consider carefully the following definitions and the numerical values assigned to each. Keep them in mind when rating, taking into considera- tion the length of service of officer you are rating and the opportunities afforded him, which might have a bearing upon his performance of duty, personal characteristics, or professional qualifica- tions. Unsatisfactory: Performance of the particular duty reported upon or personal characteristics or professional qualifications below minimum standards-inefficient.
