Navy Heads 10 Move
To Peniagon When
| Space Is Available
By John A. Giles

Top operating heads of the Navy
will be moved from the Navy De-
partment building on Constitution
avenue to the Pentagon as soon as
space can be made available, it
was learned yesterday.
Thus all the top leaders of the
National Military Establishment
would be concentrated in the same
building with Secretary of Defense
Notwithstanding which Mr.
Forrestal has favored ever since
he took Office.
Present Navy thinking is to move
the Secretary, Undersecretary, AS
sistant Secretary for Air, Chief OF
Naval Operations and Deputy Chief
of Naval Operations.
There are no plans to move the
chiefs Of the Navy's bureaus and
it is possible that Assistant Secre-
tary w. John Kenny will remain
at the old building.
An Office in the Pentagon already
has been designated for Secretary
of the Navy Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan has been reluctant
to make the move, a Navy source
said. However. a number of high
regular Navy officers have expressed
the opinion that the Navy is now
in what might be termed a poor
tactical position" in relation to the
Army and Air Force, since the
leaders of the latter services are
so readily available for top level
defense conferences. At present the
Nays top echelon is available at
the Pentagon only when summoned
for meetings.
The Nays move is expected to
take some time once the space is
made available. An assistant to
