Navy Culprit Who Revealed
Letter That Caused Wrangle
Reprimanded. Back On Duty
', WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. (.W-Capt. John G. Crommelin, whose
release of confidential Navy correspondence touched off the con
gressional Investigation of military policy, got off Monday with
only a sharp reprimand. He was restored to active duty. .
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman,
the new naval chief of operations,
disposed of Crommelin's case by
writing him a letter of repri
' mand. The letter said Cromme
lin had violated Navy regula
tions. Crommelin, 48-year-old avia
tion hero of World War II, had
been under suspension while the
navy considered whether to
court-martial him.
On Oct. 3, Crommelin slipped
to newspapermen copies of a let
ter from Vice Admiral Gerald
F. Bogan to Secretary of the
Navy Francis P. Matthews.
Bogan'a letter spoke of dissat
isfaction among Navy men over
military policies that cut down
on the Navy and built up the Air
Force. Bogan said that morale,
particularly among younger of
ficers, was being hurt.
The publication of the letter
brought on the inquiry by the
House Armed Services commit
tee into the quarreling among
the armed services.
After the hearing closed Presi
dent Truman, on recommenda
tion of Secretary of the Navy
Matthews, ousted Admiral Louis
E. Denfeld as chief of naval op
erations -and placed Admiral
Sherman in the position.

AN interesting' and, in its way,
significant dispatch from Los
Angeles informs us that Holly
wood's former child stars -are
having "nothing but trouble in
the divorce courts." The dispatch
adds:
"Jackie Cooper, 27, who tugged
heartstrings 20 years ago in
'Skippy' and The Champ,' is the
latest marital breakup victim. His
wife of five years, Actress June
Home, 30, won an uncontested de
cree yesterday, charging Cooper
with cruelty. She said he came
back changed from the war,
thinking only of his career and
not of his family."
Cooper's split-up, the dispatch
goes on, follows divorce court ex
perience by Jackie Coogan, Shir
ley Temple and Deanna Durbin.
WELL, what can you expect?
A career as a child star is
aboUt as poor preparation for
family life as couid be imagined.

There will be no return to the

That's- what President C. B.
Sweet of Washington told the
National Retail Lumber Dealers
association today.
Sweet told the convention the
Industry had lost faith in a
"mythical prosperity and a leg
endary past, and grew up to face
present aay reality."
"We have grown up enough to
take our part in voicing the facts
about national legislation affect
ing the American people through
out industry. Since the war, every
bill affecting your business that
has been proposed or passed has
contained provisions detrimental
to private enterprise and the peo
ples of your community.
"Each measure has provided for
government competition, for in
creasing government bureaucratic
spending, for more industry pa
per work, or for reduction of man
hour accomplishments. This must
result in an increase in the cost
of everything you distribute to
the consumer.",
Truckers' Request For -Rate

PORTLAND, Nov. 9 UP)
Oregon trucking firms asked for

if their net profit is to be fair.
Shippers and canners' associa

today over the outlook for 1950.
Republicans didn't find much

But thev took a mauling in the

bert H. Lehman, ex -governor,
easily knocked Republican John,
Foster Dulles out of the U. S.
Senate seat Dulles has held down
since last July by appointment
from Governor Thomas E. Dew
ey. There was one, big, clear-cut
issue: Lehman campaigned hard
for the Truman Home-front pro
gram; Dulles campaigned hard
against It.
The president himself, ' glee
fully calling out returns at a din
ner in his honor by the women'!
Democratic club of Washington,
interpreted the result as a vote
of confidence in his "fair deal."
Mr. Truman said It would have
'a very decided effect on the

of Congress is at stake. So did
the Democratic National Chair
man, William M. Boyle Jr.
Furthermore, Boyle said, Leh

was a repeat win for Democra

The G.O.P. National chairman,
