that Wilbur's return was not de.

represented as knowing more about
the reasons for Wilbur's hurried re.

Speculation was ended, however,
by the White House statement
which was issued at the President s
direction to quiet any rurnors of dis.
sension between himself and the
secretary Of the Navy over the
naval budget estimates, now a sub.
gect OF controversy between the
Navy Department and the Bureau
