Navy Shocked And Angry Over Truman's Statement
Washington April 12 The Navy Department stayed aloof amid strong speculation that top resignations could follow President Truman’s harsh criticism of opponents of the armed forces merger. Focused on whether Forrestal might quit and if Admiral Chester W Nimitz would seek retirement, both have opposed the merger. Truman urged support for unification while allowing officers to vote their opinions, catching the Navy by surprise as high offices show strains similar to past political spats.
