Fechteler Backs Three Division Marines Plan
Admiral William M. Fechteler proposes expanding the Marine Corps to three divisions and three air wings with a total strength near 240 000, placing it midway to a larger congressional proposal. The plan contrasts with a four-division four-wing bill backed in Congress, amid administration opposition. Also noted are promotions and assignments at Long Beach Naval Station and Camp Pendleton, plus a WAVES game with Jefferson Junior High School.
