Army-Navy Rivalry
Seen as Hindrance 10
Scientific Rivalry
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A flying admiral said today
merger of the Army and Navy
might slow this country's scientific
development.
The assertion came from Rear
Admiral Luis De Florez in testi-
mony before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. Assistant chief
of the Nays Office of Research
and Inventions, Admiral De Florez
said he considered competition be-
tween the services the single factor
that did most to bring forth ,radar,
the atomic bomb and other war
time discoveries.
Admiral De Florez, in charge of
the Nays program for synthetic
training" of naval aviators, cited the
greater emphasis he said the Navy
attached to that type of training as
against the Army's preference for
putting men into the air.
He added without elaboration in
his statement:
Now that the war is over and re-
SulLS OF training can De viewed, there
is no disagreement over the value
of synthetics or training by the re-
production of fight conditions in
machines on the ground. or its role
in reducing hazards and casualties in
training and in battle"
Contending that competition of
independent services, particularly
in peacetime, is needed to keep alive
the spark of originality and enter
prise" Admiral De F1orez con-
tinued:

the past, of developments which
would never have seen the light of

ferences of opinion between the

REASON FOR SECRECY

This material. he said, is being
kept in this category upon the
recommendation of the COM
mander in chief, u. S. fleet. and
chief of naval operations, Adm.
Ernest j. King. because of the ex-
treme care which has been neces-
sary to safeguard information in
the hands of the navy department
and especially the sources of that
information.
Walsh quoted the navy inquiry
report as stating that this infor-
nation was not transmitted to the
commander in chief of the Pacific
fleet or to the commanding gen.
eral Of the Hawaiian department.
No facilities were available 70
them either in the fleet or in the
Hawaiian area where it would en-
able them to obtain the informa-
ton direct. They were dependent
