President rules in favor of Army on merger plan dispute
The President settles three points in favor of the Army view on unification and leans on the fourth. He sends a letter to House and Senate leaders outlining a merger plan, with a White House note stating a broad agreement and further study. He sides with Navy on joint air force questions only, preserving three coordinate branches and a non cabinet Secretary for air. The Marine Corps question keeps Navy control over land bases and limited sea actions, with carrier and water bases kept within the Naval service.
