Ha|sey Request Seen
As First Change in
Navy High Command

Admiral william F. Halsey's re-
quest for retirement may mark the
first of several changes in the Navy's
high command.
Admiral Halsey's statement that
he feels it is time to ''let the young
fellows take over" is in accord with
expressed naval policy.
Vice Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, in
taking Office as chief of the Bureau
of Personnel recently, set forth as
basic policy the replacing of the
older flag officers at sea and ashore,
whose splendid wartime perform
ance entitled them to a rest, with
younger officers who have had fleet
and combat experience.
Admiral Halsey is 13 months
under the statutory peacetime re-
tirement age of "a, but he has five
years to spare under a rule permit
ting retirement on request after 40
years naval service. He entered
the Naval Academy in 1900.
Two of the Nays highest-rank-
ing officers, Admiral Ernest J. King
commander in chief of the feet OF
naval operations. and Admiral
Frederick J. Horne, vice chief OF
naval operations are past 64. Ad-
miral King normally would have re-
tired December /, 1912, and Admiral
Horne March l, 1914.
Admiral Halsey's retirement will
remove him as one of the possible
successors to Admiral King. Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz, command
er in chief of the Pacific feet, who
will not reach retirement age until
March l, 1949, is another mentioned
prominently.

Senator Vandenberg's position is
that he would do nothing to destroy

should be no cessation of production

Senator Vandenberg said that the

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Interven-
ton by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
brought to an end today q building
service workers strike which for
six days had kept hundreds of thou
sands of persons away from jobs in
towering office structures and cost
industry millions of dollars.
Bowing to an ultimatum by Gov
Dewey last night, both sides agreed
to arbitrate their differences and
shortly thereafter the union ordered
the Approximately 1000 strikers to
return to work Immediately.

Office workers-there was little ac-

Situation Int0lerable.
Gov. Dewey had told the building
owners and heads of locals 32-B

ice Employees International Union
that unless they agreed upon an
arbitrator he would name one him.

He said he would appoint an arbi-
traitor As soon as possible. Both
sides asked that he make the selec-

The strike resulted from a Re-
gional War Labor Board directive
which raised hourly wage rates but
reduced the number of hours in the
work week The union contended
this resulted in a reduction in take

Empire State Affected.
Since Monday, when the walkout
began suddenly, workers employed
in 1.500 to 1000 office and loft build
ings have been idle-because they
either were unable to climb sky
scraper stairWays or refused to cross
picket lines.
Among the affected buildings were
such towering structures as the 102-
story Empire State building, the
worlds tallest. All but one of its
68 elevators were halted. Fourteen

less than an hour after the walkout
ended.
The walkout closed factories, re-
suited in an embargo on express
shipments into Manhattan, caused
tons of mail to accumulate in post

businesses.
Hardest hit was the billion dollar
garment and fur industry, which
was caught in the midst of prepara-
tlons for the fall and winter trade.
