It does t make sense to keep taking a beating when you have some thing that is going to continue to lose we Aren t a Large enough Community to support everything for everybody Szymanski said. What we tried to do was offer every service in each facility. Under the consolidated club system we Are Able to specialize within the different annexes of the club rather than compete with each other. The Frontier club formerly the no club is More of the nightclub atmosphere and the Racquet club will feature Fine dining. This Way we Are Able to consolidate the activities and do each of them Well in one facility he said. Overhead caused by excessive labor costs added to the losses in food service at the Racquet club said capt. James Gabriel the area club manager. The volume of food sales was sufficient to make Money Gabriel said. A lot of the labor in the club had been there for a Ber of years and was making so much Money that labor costs were actually More than total Gross Pir Masens Public affairs officer Warren Field said Between october 1984 and june 1985, just before the officers club closing that the clubs paid $79,380 to meet administrative regulatory requirements which had nothing to do with the Cost of food salaries lawmaker from Page 1 Money to cover family members moving costs in a permanent change of station move and funded a temporary lodging entitlement for service members going to a new duty station. Schroeder said it was difficult to speculate on How the Belt tightening atmosphere in Congress will affect military personnel programs. She said a great Deal will depend on budgetary decisions that will be made later this year including the decision to raise the National debt ceiling. We re in real trouble if we Don t do something about revenues she said. And it s always been the Case that military personnel costs Are some of the easiest to Cut. But nobody really knows what s going to she said it s important to maintain the hardware and technological sides of the de sense department. But it s a mistake to do so at the expense of personnel programs she said. Those programs affect morale she said. And people Here can t do their jobs if they re worried about family Schroeder said that although she had heard the dropping Dollar was hurting americans overseas it meant More to see it for herself. These people Are really feeling the crunch she said. The Heidelberg Mili tary papers were filled with stories about people who were just struggling Schroeder made her comments after addressing an association of the . Army awards ceremony at Nellinger Barracks near Stuttgart during which she thanked association members for what they do in Europe. We want to make sure your families Are taken care of and that your children re member what America is All about she told the members. Sometimes we in con Gress get caught up. We be got the hard Ware junkies and the technology junkies. But we know you re working 20 hours a Day and we know you have to do it Over Here All by my from Page 1 missile which has been dubbed the midget Man. I m going to make another run on the my said Hicks. I think they re terribly important and an incredibly cheap investment for what they do for us in terms of deterrence and helping us with arms As for the midget Man which is now in the Early stages of development Hicks said there Are still too Many unresolved Money and technical questions for the Pentagon to embrace a congressional schedule that Calls for deployment by 1992. A proper study May Well delay deploy ment by up to two years he said. But i think it would be Worth the two years if it meant that we saved $8 billion and had a bett6r system Hicks said. In discussing the decision by Congress last year to limit deployment of the giant 10-War head my to 50 missiles instead of 100, Hicks suggested legislators and the Public had lost sight of Why the missile was needed. The United states is unlikely to make much Progress toward convincing the soviet Union to reduce its Arsenal of More than 300 Long Range ss-18 missiles without a missile accurate enough to threaten specially protected russian facilities Hicks asserted. Arms control officials Are convinced the . Arsenal must have at least 1,000 accurate warheads to complicate soviet military plan Ning and prod them toward meaningful negotiations Hicks continued. While the midget Man missile because of its mobility will be More survivable than the my it will also Cost roughly $50 billion to buy 500 of those single warhead missiles he said. We could have even today with what s gone on another 50 mrs and put them in minuteman holes for about $2 billion Hicks said. I think it s terribly important to recognize that we can have a major capability for $2 billion that we should t pass Hicks said he understood that congressional opposition to the my stemmed in Large part from a decision to place the missile in existing minuteman silos that could not withstand a major preemptive strike by the soviets. But he added that the United states could build specially protected silos for the second group of 50 my missiles at a Cost of about $8 billion. Moreover it May be possible to save Bil Lions on the development of the midget Man Hicks said during a breakfast meeting with reporters. Congress has so far insisted on a single warhead missile to ensure mobility. But additional engineering studies May prove that a two warhead missile can be built and still be Mobile enough to be car ried on truck launchers slashing in half the number of needed launchers and saving $8 billion to $10 billion Hicks said. Bombing from Page 1 would be flown to new York for study. The blast blew a Large Hole in the Side of the plane in front of the right Wing. Twa president Richard d. Pearson said in new York the explosion occurred on the Cabin floor at Row 10 or 11 of the passenger seats. Officials at Rome s Leonardo a Vinci Airport said the terrorist was an Arab who sat in seat 10f on the Cairo to Athens flight. An Anonymous caller to Western news agencies in Beirut claimed responsibility for the Twa attack on behalf of Abu Nidal s Arab revolutionary cells. The caller said it was in response to last week s clash Between . And libyan forces in the disputed Gulf of Sidra. Nidal whose real name is Sabry Al Banna said in a statement issued in dam ascus Syria last week that his group would strike at . Targets in retaliation for the .-libyan confrontation. Libyan Leader col. Moa mar khad Afy however distanced himself from the Twa attack saying this is an act of terrorism against a civilian target and i am totally against this lbs news reported. Reagan administration analysts believe Libya is not responsible for the explosion a senior administration official in washing ton said thursday. Among the four americans who died when they were sucked through the Hole in the fuselage were a Mother daughter and baby granddaughter. Reports from greek officials Twa friends and relatives identified the victims As Alberto Ospina a colombian born american from Stratford Conn. Demetra Stylian 52 her daughter Maria Klug 25, and 8-month-old granddaughter Demetra Klug All from Annapolis my. Seven other people including four americans were injured aboard the plane which landed safely in Athens 10 minutes after the explosion. Three of the injured were hospitalized overnight and released thurs Day morning said the chief nurse at Voula Hospital near the Athens Airport. Or entertainment. Szymanski said some waiters and Dis Wash ers in the former officers club were earning up to $6 per hour salary and the club s head Cook earned More than $8 per hour. The problem is fairly common in that the profit margin in food service is not terribly great and you have relatively High labor costs and other required administrative costs in a military club Fiat you Don t have in a Normal civilian operation Mahony said. Under the contract operation we re Start ing now All those costs Are being borne by the concessionaire she said. We re providing the facility and existing utilities. Everything else is coming from the Gabriel said the new operation will Fea Ture an expanded menu with both Ameri can and chinese specialities lunch and Din Ner seven Days a week an expanded catering service and charge privileges using several major credit cards. Members formerly were allowed to charge meals and drinks on their club cards he said. By eliminating our own in House charging system we have been Able to Cut our administrative costs even further and now we Are Cut Ting our dues he said. The savings amount to about $74 per year for enlisted members and $110 per year for officers and civilians above gs-7." temperatures april 2 l h46 63 43 6519 33 57 8349 71 49 7543 51 46 8434 54 48 7235 54 44 5660 80 53 7031 57 44 6536 51 64 7841. 67 41 6235 58 -7 3039 55 44 6772 86 62 8036 62 52 8847 56 50 6859 70 Alban Albuquerque Anchorage Atlanta Atlantic Cit Baltimore Billing Birmingham Boise Bosto Buffalo Burlingto Charleston .
