Couldn't Fight

King Declares
Operations Chief
Endorses Compulsory
MiIitory Service

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-tR)
The navy's chief of operations
told a Congressional COMMITTEES
today that the United States
navy is not now prepared to
fight major battle if it were
necessary to do 50.
The statement was made by
Fleet Admiral Ernest ]. King in
response to questions by House
Military committee members af-
ter he had endorsed universal
military training legislation.
FORCES DISTINTEGRATE
King had commented that the
rate of rehabilitation of the
n navy had resulted in disintegra-
tion Of units.
Asked by Rep. Leroy johnson
(R-Calif) if the disorsscization
was such as to render the navy
unable "to fight a major battle"
Immediately If necessary, King
replied:
I'm afraid I will have to say
yes to that question"
REPLACEMENTS LACKING
Many key men in units have
been demobilized, the admiral
explained, and have not been
replaced. While fighting units
may be up to their usual COM
plement in actual numbers of
men, he pointed out, these COM
plements do not constitute what
the navy knows as "ships COM
panies."
Earlier King told the COM
mittee the atomic bomb in its
present form cannot prevent
fleets from operating"
