Open discussion on national security urged by Crommelin
Navy Captain John G. Crommelin urged free open discussion of all national security issues in a Montgomery civic club address.

He defended his past actions as in the country’s best interests and argued the general staff concept won’t suit Navy needs. A separate item notes a two-kitchen rooftop story home as a new housing idea and the rooftop kitchen feature.
