Immediately conjecture cen tered on whether Secretary of the Navy Forrestal might decide to quit now instead of waiting until summer, and whether Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of naval operations, would request retirement. Both have vigorously fought the merger. There was no question that Mr. Truman had the gloves off when he pointedly notified the navy where he stood. He used the words propaganda and lob bying in speaking of continued opposition, and said the public was interested in facts instead. Support Expected The president told his news conference yesterday that, while individual naval officers are en titled to voice their honest opin ions, he expected both navy and war departments to support the unification policy when he, as commander-in-chief, once estab lished it.

Forrestal, who had been ill at his home for several days, had no immediate comment The same went for the uniformed high command. However, the capital was lik ening the apparent tension be- iwcch vvnue nouse and navy high command to the strained relations which existed between the president and Harold L. Ickes before the latter stepped out as secretary of interior in the hot dispute over the nomination of Edwin W. Pauley to be under secretary of the navy. frost Causes Fruit Damage By The Associated Press Widespread frost caused dam age to fruit crops in the midwest and eastern states today but the Chicago weather bureau said warmer weather was moving eastward from the western plains states.
