And all the way through, his record is studded with that kind of performance. I think it is a sorry reward, at the end of at least 50 years of serviceto this country, to say that he is not a loyal, fine American, and that he served only In order to advance his own personal ambitions.

Naval Chief Urges More Naval Power Adm. Carney Speaks At VFW Convention PHILADELPHIA (INS) — U.S. chief of naval operations Adm. Robert B. Carney appealed today for a greater free world naval strength to meet the increasing Soviet sea threat Carney said that maritime power is “one of the essential elements of military strength and the ratio is becoming progressively lew* favorable to the free nations.” ,; The naval leader said that while the free world currently holds sea superiority over the Red nations, this superiority “cannot be kept by standing still." He added: “If the Soviet bloc continues to build and increase at the present rate we will Ipse ground in terms of relative maritime strength.” Carney made his remarks in the course of a speech before the 55th national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The chief of naval operations told the veterans of the services' present problem of retaining their highly-skilled personnel. He said that while service morale is high, it is not high enough —nor are inducements currently great enough—to maintain the rate of reenlistments the services want and need. . Carney said the armed forces are trying to lick one cause of this situation by “making every effort to stabilize and improve living the Individual family” tied closely to the Services. Other factors, he added, such as pay and medical care for dependents, can only be worked out by the public and congress.
