Advice by McGowan at Naval Academy eyes paymasters
Rear Admiral Samus Mc Gowan urged 195 Paymasters' School members at the Naval Academy to live by the motto no and to resist lower standards for beef. He stressed navy growth from 230 officers prewar to 3,400 and personnel from 54,000 to about 560,000, and called graduates to uphold oath and duty as floating bases prepare for front duty. He praised Admiral Eberle as ideal leader and cited commander O'Mara's no change refrain as a guiding rule.
