House panel ready to rebuke Navy over scuttling claim
The House Armed Services Committee signals opposition to the Navy’s warning that it risks being scuttled. It plans to criticize Defense Secretary Louis Johnson and Navy Secretary Francis P. Matthews for actions, support unification policies, and likely condemn Adm. Louis E. Denfeld’s ouster. The panel also plans to fault Johnson for governing with little regard to Congress while reviewing prior charges by admirals about reliance on the Air Force and atomic bomb over the Navy. The first draft of the report is being prepared from member input.
