naval forces operating In Euro
pean water."
The navy changes followed
closely the army's reorganiza
tion of its general staff into a
smaller, younger group, but it
remained to be seen whether
the two moves would quiet con
gressional agitation for a great
er unification in the direction
of the nation's war effort.
The army reorganization,
which became effective yester
day, reduced the general staff
to a fifth of its former size and
gave greater recognition to air
force men. Excepting the chief
of staff, General George C.
Marshall, who is 61, the stream
lined staff has an average age
Of 48.
- Stark's new post, it was said,
will be comparable to that held
by Admiral William S. Sims,
: World war commander of U. S.
naval forces overseas. For the
present, however, Vice Admiral
Royal E. Ingersoll will continue
as commander of the. Atlantic
fleet, King's old command.
In London Stark will succeed
Vice Admiral Robert L. Ghorm
ley, who has been on duty in
England as a special naval ob
server since August, 1940.
A special staff -was set Up in
the navy department to admin
ister the duties which King
took over from Stark, and this
staff, like General Marshall's
streamlined counterpart, will
share responsibility' in mapping
the offensive operations which
both army and navy chiefs have
forecast.
By The Assodatad Press
British naval circles, comment
ing on the assignment of Ad
miral Harold R. Stark to Lon
don as commander of American
warships in European waters,
speculated today that the United
States might be planning to in
crease its naval strength across
the Atlantic.
These Quarters declared H ws
obvious that an officer of Ad
miral Starkl high rank would
not be sent to London unless
some new development of naval
importance were in the offing.
Other observers saw th nw.
sibility that powerful units of
Americas rapidly expanding
navy might be sent abroad to
counter any shift in the Euro
pean naval balance through ab
sorption of French warships Into
the German fleet Such rein
forcements might also be used
In protecting a British counter
invasion of the continent to es
tablish a "second front" against
Germany, as repeatedly urged
by Russia.
Authorized quarters In Vichy
denied that 40 French warships
had been turned over to Ger
many, as reported yesterday by
Tass, soviet news agency.
WASHINGTON, March 10 (UP)
In the second drastic shakeup
in the high commands of the
United States armed forces
within a week, Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox announced
Monday that air-minded Admiral
Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief
of the fleet, also has taken
over the duties of chief of naval
operations.
Stark will take over his new
duties about April IS. He will
go to London to relieve Vice
Admiral Robert L. Ghormley,
present senior U. S. Naval of
ficer to Great Britain, who will
"go to set after a period of temp
orary duty in Washington."
Reports have persisted since
the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor
that Stark would be moved
"upstairs."
King's duties as chief of naval
operations will be administered
by a staff of officers under Rear

The reorganization, like that
of the army, places emphasis on
the increasingly important role
of the air arm.
The new army setup reduced
the war department general
staff from about 500 to 98 offic
ers with Gen. George C. Marsh
all still remaining as chief of
staff. This general staff will con
cern itself primarily with major
planning or military operations
and with formulation of policies

ships ahead of us. In order to
avoid a collision I ordered the

were torpedoed while the lights
were burning."
The navy said surface craft,
planes and blimps were scouring
the area for the missing 19 men.
The torpedo ripped into the
starboard side of the vessel about
midship, evidently aimed at the
engine room.
The naval account, obtained
from survivors, said the ship
split in two in three minutes and
that a huge wave promptly
smothered a fire that broke out
immediately.
Tons of oil splashed over the
vessel.
Seven of the survivors were
rescued from the drifting stern
of the ship. Tkjey told of seeing
