Mr. Griffin.

And, can you tell us something about the nature of your duties with your employer?

Mr. Newman.

I'm a design engineer and lead man. I am responsible for four or five draftsmen on a given project.

Mr. Griffin.

What do you mean you are a design engineer; what sort of things do you do?

Mr. Newman.

Well, it's mechanical design of high-power transmitters, radar transmitters, mostly, electronic circuits.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you put things on drawing boards?

Mr. Newman.

That's right.

Mr. Griffin.

And do you work from plans that other people draw up or plans that other people conceive, or are you responsible to come up with ideas?

Mr. Newman.

I work from an electrical schematic, and I am responsible for the mechanical design and supervision of the other men, to make sure this work is carried out.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, do you work under a graduate engineer of some sort?

Mr. Newman.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Newman.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

How long was that training program?

Mr. Newman.

Approximately 9 months.

Mr. Griffin.

And how often did you go to school?

Mr. Newman.

It was 2 hours a night, 1 night a week.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you have any compensation in connection with your services on the police reserves?

Mr. Newman.

None whatsoever.

Mr. Griffin.

Why does anyone want to be a member of the police reserve?

Mr. Newman.

Well, civic responsibility, I guess.

Mr. Griffin.

Are there any little side benefits of any sort?

Mr. Newman.

Well, yes. You mean in the way of favors, this type of thing?

Mr. Griffin.

No; I don't know, not necessarily that, but what--

Mr. Newman.

I enjoy it because I do office work, indoors, and this is a way of getting out, little something to break the routine.

Mr. Griffin.

Are there favors and what not that you can get on account of this?

Mr. Newman.

Oh, outside of maybe being overlooked of a traffic violation, I don't know of any.

Mr. Griffin.

I don't want you to paint yourself too good in this way, because we had one guy who came in here and painted himself real good, and found out that he was making a mistake. Maybe I am a great skeptic.
