Denfeld Removal Not To Be Probed By House Group WASHINGTON, UP) The reasons lor removal of Admiral Louis E. Denfeld as chief of Na val operations will not be probed hy the Home Arrrci Service committee. Chairman Vinson (D Ga) so told newsmen. Denfeld's removal followed the committee's recent Investigation of national defense policies which brought into sharp focus differences of opinion among Navy, Army and Air Force leaders. The admiral, a "star" witness, criticized defense poli cies. His removal was requested by Secretary of the Navy Mat thews. As far as he is concerned, Vinson said, there will be no more hearings in the Armed' ser vices squabble despite requests ot some committee members for a congressional airing of the Denfeld ouster. These committee members claimed the committee was as sured by Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson that no witness from the armed services would be penalized for freely expressing his views. Denfeld's removal to another post, they said with con siderable heat at the time, was a violation of this assurance and an indication that Denfeld was demoted "because he talked." Chairman Vinson himself said Oct. 28 that Denfeld had been made to "walk the plank" be cause of his testimony. At that time Vinson said the committee would look Into the ouster when Congress reconvened. Mathews said that Denfeld was removed because he lacked qualifications In that he was not in full sympathy with policies governing unifciatlon of the arm ed services. He and Johsnon both said no retaliation was involved. There are more than 4,000 uses of wood today.
