Naval skipper defends Arnheiter case in court inquiry
Alexander, the skipper who aided Arnheiter off Vietnam, tells UPI he supports bringing the incident to a court of inquiry to determine whether naval authorities punished a commander based on unsubstantiated subordinates’ allegations. He argues commanding officers deserve superiors' backing when dissident elements complain. Navy officials deny Alexander was forced to resign. Ignatius says Moorer objected to public action before internal appeal.
