Knows All Naval Operations

which first fastened attention on him for possible appointment
as chief of naval operations.
Back in 1946 he and the then Ma). Gen. Lauris Norstad of the
air force found common ground

Aerial Collisions Fatal
Washington, Nov. X MV-Aer-ial
collisions have caused the on
ly fatal accidents on the airlines
in the past 14 months.
on which to work out a com
promise on unification. Both
were air officers.
Sherman was the negotiator
for the navy when the army and
the then army air forces sought
to produce a compromise bill
that would meet some of the ob
jections to unification raised by
the navy department.
The proposals produced by the
small group of high navy and
air force officials, of which
Sherman and Norstad were mem
bers, received the approval of
President Truman and the com
promise version became the unl
fication law with the passage
by congress.
The admiral Is thoroughly
familiar with carrier operation
which now has become the basic
plan around which all naval
striking forces are built.
He knows the administrative
problems in Washington where
he has served a number of times
and the harsh realities of
combat. Of that, he saw much
in the Pacific campaign of World
War II. Among his war com
mands was the original Carrier
Wasp, sunk in the Solomon Is
land battle of September, 1942.
It appears to have been Sher
man's experiences in the air-land-sea
Pacific war that con
vinced him of the need for uni
fied command at Washington.
He has said that every success
ful offensive in the Pacific was
made possible by combined plan
ning among the sea, air and land
commanders of that theater.
Sherman, 55 years old last
Sunday, is a native of Merri
mack, N.H., and a naval acade
my graduate second in his class
of 203 in 1917. He went overseas
almost immediately after his
graduation, assigned to Ameri
can naval forces in the Mediter
ranean.
From 1917 to 1922 he was
junior officer aboard a number
of destroyers, cruisers and battle
ships.
But in that year he decided
he wanted to cast his fortune
with naval aviation, then a tiny
fraction of seapower. He has
remained in that service since.
Sherman no sooner finished
his arbitration role in the 1946
47 unification dispute than he
round he was headed for another
tough job command of the
United States task fleet in the
Mediterranean.
There the fleet, built around
aircraft carriers, represent the
"implementation" to American
foreign policy, of which diplo
mats speak. Its commander has i
to be part diplomat, part navy
officer to sail the precise course
through international shoals In
that part of the world.
Sherman is about six feet tall,
gray-haired, with a round but
rugged face. No middle age
bulges have touched his figure;
exercise takes care of that.
He has a reputation of getting
along with people both outside
and inside the navy a quality
which presumably contributed
to the interest of the Pentagon
high command in the admiral.
Coffee Prices
May Rise Again
Seattle, Nov. 2 m Coffee
prices, which have jumped ap
proximately six cents a pound
in the last week, may go up an
other 10 cents in a week or 10
days, a Seattle wholesaler said
yesterday.
He and other dealers put the
blame on three problems: Ex
haustion of backlogged South
American stocks; increased cof
fee consumption; and destruc
tion of this year's crop by
drought in Brazil and Colombia
and by flood in Central America
The pinch from the drought
and flood won't be felt until
next year, retailers predicted
but the first two reasons already
have struck at the consumers'
pocketbooks.
Present retail prices here
range from 48 to 60 cents a
pound.
Tough Outlaw
Gives up Meekly
El Paso, Tex., Nov. i U.RJ
Gunman Jack Tatum, touted as

Tatum, who broke out of a
Phoenix, Ariz., jail two weeks
ago, was recognized on the street
yesterday by an alert federal
agent despite the fact that the
bandit was thin from undernourishment.
The 28-year-old fugitive was
unarmed. Warnings spread
