that the develop ment of the navy would result in need for a vast expansion in the navy's diesel engineering program the demand for qualified officers and enlisted personnel to operate the diesel installations being ac quired under this accelerated pro gram was found to be beyond the present capacity of the navy and it became necessary to utilize the ser vices of the naval reserve person nel however even among members of the naval reserve corps it was impossible to find a sufficient num ber of men adequately trained in diesel work and it became appar ent that a training program would have to be embarked upon lehigh and perm state were selected as the sites for this program in charge of the lehigh group is lynn c bartlett arts 43 was elected delegate and walter s titlow jr e e 43 was
