CrommeIin CLANS Uf
On N Show, Insists
He May Sill Resign

Capt. John G. Crommelin, who
recently laid his Navy career on
the line in a sharp criticism of
military unification, reiterated last
night his intention of resigning to
fight dangerous concentration of
power" unless Congress acts to
correct it.
But the man who exploded so
dramatically on September 10
clammed up tightly last night un-
der the glare of television lights

gram.
Capt. Crommelin parried the
penetrating questions of four
newspaper men while under orders
from Navy Secretary Matthews
not to comment on anything bear
ing on relations between the
armed forces.
Asked About Weather.
The As year old former flyer
and carrier commander carried
out the orders so implicitly that
once reporter asked: We'll, can
you discuss the weather? And if
so, can you discuss weather over
land as well as Sea?"

The reaction of a 37-year-old

The tall, attractively- dressed de-

Mrs. Mona Pauline Kaplan, 1900

Vile.
Police said she became in
volved in a traffic collision on
Sherman avenue near Girard

she really f1ared up in the Tenth

solicited blast.
He said he was knowingly
throwing away his Navy career in
declaring that the services attack
power was being wrecked at the
Pentagon. and that the Navy's
offensive power was being nib
bled to death" and its morale de-
stroyed.
Explains Stand.
Time and again last night, re-
porters attempted to draw the
veteran Naval officer out, by read
ing excerpts from his original
statement. He admitted author
ship of each, but refused to- dis
cuss every point beyond saying
that he stood by everything he
said September 10.
One reporter asked why he
would risk a court martial or dis
charge once, and not again.
That's difficult for any one
outside the service to understand" +"
he answered. Il would call that
earlier statement disregard of
orders. But if I discussed the
matter now I would be disobey-
ing orders directed at me per-
sonally. I have no intention Of
disobeying them"
Capt. Crommelin was asked
whether he still welcomed" a
court martial as he once was
quoted. He denied ever asserting
he welcomed a trial. but said he
does not now fear" one.
He refused to elaborate on
another statement attributed to
him-that recently his telephone
had been tapped.
Believes Phone Was Tapped.
II still think it probable the
telephone has been tapped" he
said, but refused to tell why.
There are three ways of tapping
a telephone. I have reason to
believe mine was tapped
Capt. Crommelin said he still
believed that Cedric Worth, the
suspended civilian assistant to
Navy Undersecretary Dan Kim
ball, would be vindicated for the
preparation of the memo which
criticized the Air Forces B-36
program and led to the House in
vestigation.
Asked why Mr.. Worth would be
vindicated. Capt. Crommelin re-
peated what he had said before a
Navy court of inquiry, that Mr..
Worth was motivated by self1ess
and patriotic reasons.
Calls Rivalry Healthy.
Capt. Crommelin did talk care
fully about other matters. In ref
erence to the general staff con-
cept, which he had criticized
earlier, he said the general STATS
of Germany and Japan made
grave errors in allocating military
and industrial forces.
He called inter-service rivalry a
healthy thing that has produced

him. at least on the "fundamen-
tails" of this need for competition
among the services. he said. He
said his opposition to unification
