Two letters were received from St. Elizabeth's hospital in Washington, one of which at tributed young Sanborn's death to infection in injuries in both knees, and the other saying it was due to an Infection in an arm injury.

Silk, assistant superintendent of St Elizabeth's hospital told report ers Sanborn was admitted Aug ust 28, 1944 and died last Octo ber 23 of heart disease. Dr. Silk said the family and the Red Cross were notified of the death and the father author ized an autopsy.

Two Events Blamed For P-H Split WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (IP) The senate military committee was told today that two events in the spring of 1943 brought about "a general change of feel ing" among navy officers in the Pacific about the feasibility of a single department of national defense. Rear Adm. Forrest Sherman, who was deputy chief of staff to Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nlm itz, listed the events in his pre pared testimony as: Two Polnti (1) "The establishment within the war department structure of the 20th air force to be based in the Marianas for attacks on Japan, both of which were with the Pacific ocean areas, but with its commander located in the Pentagon building 8600 miles away. (2) "The directive issued by the joint chiefs of staff at the instance of the chief of staff of the army, which transferred to the control of General of the Army MacArthur all the army resources, except air, in the Pa cific ocean areas." Sherman was accompanied to the committee room by Nimitz, who already has placed his views against unification on the record. Sherman, testifying against proposals to merge the services, said "these two events disrupted unified command in the Pacific and disillusioned naval officers who had given support to the theories of a single department." Mirgar Mistake He declared that "further war experience and more detailed information as to the implica tions of the merger plans of the army have further convinced me that to merge the war and navy departments would be a mistake. "The very intensity of the present drive for the merger, and the destructively critical nature of many of the statements recently made about the navy. strengthen the belief that the merger would make possible a recurrence of the conditions which led to the establishment of the navy department in 1798, namely that the war department at that time had not maintained an adequate navy and a naval campaign was in imminent pros pect.
