General Gates Charged With Favoritism At Chanute Base
The Air Force accuses retired Maj. Gen. Byron E. Gates, former Chanute Air Force Base commander, of giving preferential treatment to insurance firms on the base. An investigation is launched to decide if a court martial is warranted, with Maj. Gen. John H. McCormick overseeing the inquiry. Gates, a World War I veteran from Aberdeen South Dakota, commanded Chanute since October 1949 after various prior posts including senior air member of the U.S. mission to Brazil in 1945.
