HOFFMAN AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP; There's a glimmer of hope for sailors who long to go back to the Navy's traditional bellbot. torn trousers, jumper and white hat. Adm. James L. Holloway HI, chief of naval operations, has told the Navy's personnel bu.

reau to take a new look at the uniform question, simmering since the old style was jetti. soned a few years ago. During Holloway's recent swing through the fleet in the Pacific, he heard repeated complaints from sailors about the new uniform of coats. shirts, black ties and peaked caps. he goes, Adm.

Holloway gets asked about the possibility of getting back to the old uniform," a Navy source said. Officials stress the personnel bureau's look is just prelimi. nary to give Holloway informa. tion on probable costs of re. turning to the old uniform or some variation of it, and to de.

termine accurately the extent of interest throughout the fleet in making such a change.

He has everything except the high school diploma he covets. Dr.

George Reid, assistant superintendent of the Dallas In. dependent School District, re. ceived a letter this week from Garrett's public relations man asking if Garrett could meet with school officials this month to discuss ways to obtain that diploma. Thomas Leslie Garrett, who now produces records for Cher, dropped out Dallas' South Oak Cliff High School in the 10th grade, despite Principal Ben Matthews' attempts to dissuade Garrett. "I was making 'F's in every thing but ROTC," recalled Gar.

"Ben Matthews was right in trying to talk me into staying In school," said Garrett, who has produced records for John, ny Burnette, Bobby Vee, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Liza Minnelli and Jim Nabors. "I damn near starved to death." Garrett had been working nights at KLIF in Dallas for several years before he quit school. "They called me the 11. brarian and I was making about $5 a week." He finally was able to land a deejay job in Lubbock, and moved to Wichita Falls, where he became famous for his bizarre promotion stunts. He once spent a week in an auto atop a flagpole, equipped with two turntables, a St.

J7I-MJI the Navy source said. A basic objection to the new style uniform, its critics say, is that it is a bother to keep it in presentable condition, particu. larly aboard smaller ships that lack cleaning and pressing fa. cilities. Sailors claim they dont have space to hang the new forms.

The old outfits could be rolled up and stored in sea bags. Some sailors, along with nos. talgic ex-Navy men, say the bell.bottoms and the white hat made a smarter looking uni. form. And there are chief petty offl.

cers who complain that the dis. tinction they once enjoyed when wearing coats and peaked caps disppeared when all enlisted men began dressing the same way. The uniform change Was dered by Adm. Elmo Zumwatt when he Was the Navy's top officer. Announcing his de.

cision in June 1911, Zumwalt said he hoped to "enhance mo. rale and present the concept of one Navy" with a standard uni. form for all. A period of about four years was allowed for a gradual changeover so that sailors would get used to the idea. Apparently, many of them never did.

spite a late summer toll sales slump, more citizens band radios will be sold this year than in the 18 years since the general public lias been per. mitted to use them, an industry trade group predicts. AohnSodolskl, an Electronics Industries Association vice president, said 197G sales will total nearly 10 million sets, more than double the number of CB radios sold last year. Retail sales of radios, an. tennae and other accessories should top f2 billion this year, he Sodolski said there are nearly 20 million CB sets now in use.

The Federal Communications Commission said it has issued 7.5 million licenses, with the rate of applications continuing at about 300,000 a month. Many CB enthusiasts Install units in both their homes and their cars to enable home.to. mobile conversations. The industry expects CB sales to continue to climb next year.Sodolskl said, duo largely to publicity since the growth of CBs began in 1973, new tea. tures and the expansion of the current 23.channel CB band to 40 channels next month.

Sales in 1973 exceeded one million, then more than doubled each year since then. But the FCC expansion deci. sion and its initial confusion, combined with the usual late summer sales slump and sup.

ply finally meeting demand, brought about a halt in the rls. ing rate of sales in September. Nevertheless, Sodolski said, record sales in the first half of 1976 and the expected resump. tlon of sales in November and December Is expected to result in the lO.mlllloiMinU sales this year.
