The General Electric Company,

Schenectady, N.Y. has appointed

Whitman Ridgway as deputy di- vision general manager, Gas Tur- bine Operations. Mr. Ridgway was general manager of the gas turbine department from 1966 un- til his present appointment.

The announcement, which was made by Dr. Thomas O. Paine,

GE's vice president and group executive, power generation, indi- cates the growth of the gas turbine market, which quadrupled in the 1965-70 period.

Gas Turbine Operations, head- quartered in Schenectady, recently received the largest single order on record for gas turbines—12 heavy duty units for the Tennessee Val- ley Authority (TVA).

Mr. Ridgway has been with GE since 1940, with the exception of military duty during World War

II. He holds B.S. and M.S. de- grees in electrical engineering from

Maritime College Will

Hold One-Day Seminar

On Maritime Law

The State University of New

York Maritime College will again offer a one-day off-campus seminar on maritime law, Rear Adm. Ed- ward J. O'Donnell, USN (ret.), president of the college, has an- nounced. The seminar has been scheduled for Wednesday, Febru- ary 10, in the Seamen's Church

Institute, 15 State Street, New

York, N.Y.

This one-day seminar—8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.—will be held under the sponsorship of the Maritime Col- lege's Office for Continuing Edu- cation, and it provides a non-credit general orientation in maritime law, Admiral O'Donnell explained.

Among the topics to be included are courts, jurisdiction, procedures, territorial and national waters, ves- sels on the high seas, charters, liens, collision, and personal in- jury, he stated.

The lecturers for the seminar, both of whom are eminently quali- fied on the subject, are Capt. John

C. Hart, who lectures on admiralty law at the Maritime College, and his brother, Robert P. Hart, a member of the New York law firm of Kirlin, Campbell and Keating.

The one-day law seminar was introduced a year ago and was well received throughout the maritime industry, warranting repetition.

The seminar has particular value to employees at the training level, it was emphasized. "Maritime Law" is presented in a 10-week, non-credit evening lec- ture series which the Maritime Col- lege will conduct commencing Feb- ruary 22, and will also be held at the Seamen's Church Institute.

However, these lectures are held but once a week and the time e'e- ment involved sometimes presents a problem for the student. The seminar, on the other hand, covers the same material in capsulized form on an intensive basis.

Registration forms can be ob- tained at the Seamen's Church In- stitute or by request to the Office for Continuing Education, State

Ferguson skill will insure good-as- new quality in a reconditoned wheel at a fraction of the replacement cost.
