SHERMAN IN, DENFELD OUT
Appointment Of New
Naval Operations Head
Fails To End Bitterness
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. UP) A shake-up springing from the
military policy row and aiming at harmony In the high command
put. Vice Admiral Forrest P. Sherman in as top officer of the
Navy today. ,
It was too early to tell whether the replacement by Sherman of
the ousted Admiral Louis E. Denfeld would bring a smooth and easy
teamwork to the top level Job of working out the strategy for war.
It wasn't until late yesterday
that 'the White House announced
President Truman had tapped
Sherman to become, at S3, the
youngest chief of naval opera
tions in history. And the formal
commissioning was held over un
til today.
But Sherman was one of the
original architects for the armed
services unification plan. And he
told reporters after his new ap
- pointment came through: '
He still is 100 percent for uni
fication, expects no difficulty in
getting along with other mem
bers of the policy-making joint
chiefs of staff and is "sure the
navy will give me the support
and loyalty they have given ail
my predecessors."
Bitterness Persists
Yet within the Navy and Con;
cress there still is a certain bit
terness over the ousting of Den
feld and over the way the whole
defense set up is working.
: Denfeld was given the boot
after summing up navy com
plaints when the House Armed
Services committee gave them an
airing. The Navy, he said, does
riot have a "full partnership" in
defense planning.
- And before the denials were re
corded by Secretary of Defense
Johnson and the top men of the
Army and Air Force, other top
admirals stood up and were count
ed on Denf eld's side.:
Now Sherman is vaulting over
the heads of all of them, and
over some vice admirals with
longer service.
As for Denfeld, there had been
no clear indication whether he
would retire or take a new as-

Communist Purge
3 Left Wing
Unions Slated
For Expulsion
Harry Bridges, Defiant,
Says Longshore Group
Will Remain And Fight
CLEVELAND. Nov. 2. UP)
The CIO convention's right wing
snowed under all opposition today
and amended the CIO constitu
tion to bar communists from top
offices and authorized the execu
tive board to expel pro-communist
unions.
The convention also boosted the
per capita tax paid by its unions
to the CIO from eight cents to 10
cents per member per month
a move which would add one mil
lion dollars to the treasury for the
big organizing war anead.
Expulsion of the . left wing
unions, as contemplated by the
convention, is expected to touch
off a big drive by the victorious
right wing to grab off the rank
and file membership of the left
wing unions.
Authorization to expel pro-communist
unions gives the CIO's
executive board the power to re
move them at any time. The con
vention itself could do the same
thing, by a two-thirds vote, and
resolutions were ready for the
purpose aimed at the United Elec
trical Workers. The executive
board then can deal with other
left-wing unions, probably after
the convention.
The board was given the au
thority to expel any union whose
policies and activities are found

For Tax Evasion;
No Prison Term
DENVER, Nov! 2-UB Henry1
M. Blackmer, gray and bent oil
millionaire, was fined $20,000 to
day -for evasion of federal in
come taxes.
Blackmer, 80, had. pleaded
guilty to four counts of an eva
sion indictment Sept 26 upon his
return to this country after 25
years of self-imposed exile in
Europe. He fled this country
rather than testify in the Teapot
Dome oil investigation in 1924.
Justice Orie L. Phillips of the
U. S. Circuit court of appeals
announced the fine after telling
Blackmer that "I do not believe
the ends of justice would be serv
ed by sentencing the defendant
to jail."
Justice Phillips approved the
federal attorney's motion -for dis
missal oi four otner indictments,
two chareine perjury and two in
come tax evasion. The court an
nounced that investigation show
ed Blackmer was not in Colorado
at the time of these alleged of
fenses in 1921 and 1922.
Justice Phillips said a report
from a Boston clinic disclosed
that Blackmer is suffering from
heart disease and a serious gall
bladder ailment and is forced to
adhere to a strict diet. He said
he submitted this report to two
Denver physicians who later told
him "imprisonment would be
fraught with serious consequen
ces" and might even ; cause
Blackmer's death.
Norblad Scores
Denfeld's Ouster
PORTLAND. Nov. 2 UP)
Rep. Walter Norblad(R-Ore) said
nere yesterday tne nouse arm
ed services committee may re
open hearings when. Congress je-
convenes. ; , ...
He said the dismissal of Adm.
Louis Denfeld might be iaken
up,. but he said he doubted any
thing could come of the situation
which he called a "damned
shame."
The Oregon representative, a
member of the committee that
heard Naval, Air Force and
Army officers on unification dis
putes, doubted the hearings
harmed national security. This
had been charged in some Wash
ington circles because of the pub
licity given the testimony.
Norblad said, however, that re
moval of Adm. Denfeld from his
previous job was "contrary to the
promises" made by civilian
chiefs of the Military services.
He said the committee sought
to get honest opinions from Mil
itary leaders without the opin
ions Being cleared tnrough de
partment heads. .
"I'm afraid," he said., "it may
lapse right back to where it was
before, nigh officers will be
afraid to speak honest opinions
In fear of reprisals." .
