Uniform
BY the Asseeie.sd Pres,

American sailors have demon
strated such affection for their
bell-bottomed trousers and their
familiar blues and whites that the
Navy may reconsider plans to
change uniforms.
Vice Admiral Louis E. Denfeld
chief Of naval personnel, said it will
be at least l8 to "a months before
the uniform is altered-if at all.
Many enlisted men, he told the
House Appropriations Committee
during hearings on the Navy supply
bill, don't like the proposed new
stresmlined uniforms and most Of
f1cers and men would like to get
back to blues and whites instead of
blues, grays, whites and khakis.
They have decided that the uni
form they had was a pretty good
