Bulte Navy ManBuite Man Turns Over Ship to ChineseAssigned io•j* • * • *jt. * •■v» y »v.yDuty in DenmarkLt. Cmdr. L. J. Hubble USN, a resident of Butte three and a half years, during most of which heserved as inspector-instructor of the Butte organized division of the Naval Reserve at the training center in Clark Park, has gone to Washington to receive orders which will assign him to special duty in Copenhagen, Denmark.Mrs. Hubble and two daughters accompanied him to Washington. The family will establish residence in the Danish capital in April.Cmdr. Hubble, who was succeeded last October by Lt. Boyd L. Hall as the regular Navy’s officer representative in charge of theNaval Reserve installation at Clark Park, recently returned from the Charleston. S. C., Naval Base following five months as commanding officer of the destroyer USSHilary P. Jones.The Butte man figured in a footnote to modern naval history last month when he relinquished the command of his ship to Capt. Chang Jan Yao of the Chinese Nationalist government’s navy. The Jones, which the Chinese promptly re-named the CRS Han-Yang, and the USS Benson, which became the Lo-Yang, went to the Formosa-based Free China government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek under the loan arrangement with the United States. Transfer and loan papers were signed by high-ranking diplomatic and naval officers of the two nations and the vessels formally changed commands during impressive ceremonies in Charleston.Speeches were made, including one by Walter S. Robertson, chief of the U.S. Department of State’s Far Eastern Affairs desk, and another by K. V. Wellington Koo, Chinese ambassador and minister extraordinary, who accepted the fighting ships for Chiang. While bands played, two lines of bluejackets moved in opposite directions as Chinese crews replaced the American sailors. Members of Congress and Navy, Army, Marine Corps and Air Force officers attended the program.Cmdr. Hubble gave up his ship to Capt. Chang in a brief side-ceremony on the bridge of the USS Jones.* Cmdr. Hubble, who formerlyRRIRAt a meeting of West and East recently at the Charleston (S. C.)
