Retired Coast Guard officers face congressional review
Two senior Coast Guard officers chose retirement rather than court martial over the Kudirka defection attempt near Martha's Vineyard. The case involves Rear Adm. William B. Ellis and Capt. Fletcher W. Brown Jr. and draws scrutiny from Rep. Wayne L. Hays and a House subcommittee as well as findings by Adm. C. R. Bender. The State Department and Transportation Department officials discuss procedures to prevent a repeat incident, with Eustis receiving an administrative reprimand and reassignment seekers.
