Signs multiplied today that the
Navy is getting set for new blows
against Japan, possibly with Admiral
Ernest J. King stepping personally
into the campaign.
The Navy. after disclosure Of 4
West Coast meeting by its top-rank-
ing chiefs, announced q shift OF
Washington command that viii give
Admiral King q chance to spend
more time in war zones. Friends saw
the fleet commander In chief will
welcome this opportunity.
The shift came in creation of the
new Once Of Deputy Commander
In Chief, position which the Navy
said was made necessary by the size
OF the fieet-now the largest In world
history.
With Vice Admiral r. s. Edwards
serving as his second in command
Admiral King will be able to shed
many Of the duties which have re-
quired his personal attention In the
dual job of Navy commander ir
chief and chief Of naval operations
will Make Job More Mobile.
At the least, 1t will make his jot
more mobile by relieving him of the
necessity OF remaining close tc
Washington for constant attention
to demands Of strategy and admins
tration.
Strong possibilities exist that, with
the war in the Pacific primarily q
naval fight and growing in intensity
Admiral King will spend more and
more time closer to the war zones
there. He could thereby hold more
frequent conferences with Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz. Pacific Fleet
commander in chief.
Heretofore when conditions re.
qutred personal consultation it has
been necessary for either Admiral
Nimitz or Admiral King to travel
thousands OF miles. One such
meeting in San Francisco, to dis
cuss aspects Of the campaign
against the japanese, has Just been
concluded.
1t Is considered likely that at this
conference, attended also by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Forrestal, fina]
