"the officer next in status to the
key aviation officers mentioned
will be q non-aviator whereas
when q key officer is a non

tus will be an aviator"

now held by Admiral Frederick
c. Horne, will be assigned to
Vice Admiral D. c. Ramsay, a
naval aviator and now deputy
commander in chief Of the Pa
cific fleet.

erations for operations-an Off

Forrestal called the changes
another stage in that evolution
which he described recently by
saying:
Aviation Is an integral part
of the Navy and is becoming in
creasingly dominant. The in
fluence of air power on the Navy
will be an evolution, not revo-
luton"
In making today's announce
ment, the secretary said he want
ed to emphasize that although
the carrier is the cutting edge of
the present Navy, it must be
backed by the full complement
of a we'll balanced fleet.

Firemen Probe
Cleaning Plant
CONFIRMATION

A fire of undetermined origin
which on Friday night threaten
ed to wipe out the Super Clean
ers dry cleaning plant at 20 Or
chard street, is still under in
vestigation Fire Chief Ed. Smith
stated today.
Flames which at first centered
in q heating plant at the rear
of the building. rapidly spread
through the area between ceiling
and roof Of the rest of the plant.
Firemen fought the blaze for
an hour, being hampered by the
fact that flames were racing
through walls and ceiling In
parts of the building difficult to
reach.
Firemen also faced one Of the
most deadly hazards Of their
trade-inflammable and explo-
sive cleaning fluid. Flames lick
ed at the ceilings in the main
washing room where several
large tanks in use for soaking
clothes were half filled with the
fluid. While getting at the fire
overhead, firemen had to keep
a fin spray of water playing over
flaming embers which shower
ed down and threatened to set
off the cleaning fluid.
Fire damage was reduced to a
minimum estimated by firemen
at about 81, 900.
Mayor Albert A. Wagner and
Roger Quinn are partners in the
cleaning firm.

Swedish Armament Exports Clarified

The American Swedish Monthly
for February carries a letter from
the Swedish Legation in Washing

by a writer that Sweden has sup
piled Germany with large quanti-
ties of war material.
The letter says in part:
From Swedish official CONNER
cial statistics which are publicly
available in printed documents, the
following explanations can be OBJ
tanned:
The total value in Swedish kro-
nor of Swedish exports of arms,
ammunition, and other implements
of war, amounted in 1887 to Kr.
26,045, $50, whereof exports
amounting to Kr. 12.s09.354 went
to Poland, kr. 4,2S3,663 to Iran

All to the Netherlands Indies, and
nothing to Germany.
1t seems to me that the above

no export of arms, ammunition
and other implements of war have
taken place to Germany nor to
any other belligerent country ex-
