Reforms in the Navy Take Effect Today
Washington dispatch reports Secretary Meyer launching a broad reform plan for the navy. He seeks abolition of the bureau of equipment this year and asks Congress to name four aides for fleet operations material personnel and inspection. Meyer aims to appoint younger commandants in navy yards with three year tenures and shift power from naval constructors back to yard commandants. The operations aide would likely become the most important post, absorbing duties once held by the strategy board and later by the assistant secretary.
