Sailor Fit for Duty Overrules Navy Board in Paranoia Case
Navy Secretary Willam B. Franke overruled medical examiners and ordered Lt. John M. Thompson back to full active duty. A San Francisco board had found him unfit for his rank for insisting on strict adherence to regulations as finance officer at the San Francisco Dispensary. The inquiry cited mild paranoia and a refusal to certify a time card for an employee cleared by an officer to referee a football game. testimony from Thompson's wife described him as exacting and thorough. Franke praised the hearing but questioned impartiality due to medical ties and related actions at Oakland Naval Hospital. He noted minor irregularities found in a thorough probe had been corrected and assigned Thompson to another naval hospital, with possible reassignment for Mrs. Thompson.
