KimbaII Says Change
In Talk Wasn't Due
To Any Censorship

Navy UnderSecretary Dan A.
Kimball denied today that there
had been any effort to censor a
speech he made in Richmond, Va,
yesterday.
A speech somewhat critical of
armed forces unification was put
out in advance and then with
drawn and another address more
laudatory of armed forces merger
was substituted without explana-
tion by the Defense Department.
But Mr.. Kimball said today that
neither Defense Secretary john
son nor Deputy Defense Secretary
Stephen Early mace any effort to
have him change his address.
The first version which was not
delivered, was written by an as
sistant while he was attending the
Cleveland air races Mr.. Kimball
explained. -
In routine fashion, the assistant
sent the speech to the Defense
Public Information Division with
out Mr.. Kimball having seen it.,
he said.
Not What He Wanted to Say.
When he returned to his office,
Mr.. Kimball said, he read over the
proposed address and found that
it didn't express exactly what I
wanted to say"
$50 I sat down and dictated a
new one," he continued, land
then sent that one to the public
information people for release"
It was only then that Mr.. KIM
ball found that the first speech
had been released and moved in
advance by all press associations
for use on delivery.
Mr.. Kimball said he was asked
what action should be taken in
view of the circumstances and
that he had ordered the depart
ment to "kill" the first address
and substitute the new one.
In the first speech, which was
not delivered, Mr.. Kimball was
to have said that ''it may be bet
ter to confirm your suspicious that
several severe problems await solu-
ton and that there is still much
room for further progress"
Mr.. Kimball, in the substitute
second speech from which that
statement was deleted, said:
"Our uniflcation plans are con-
stantly getting better"
Further, in the second version
of the address, Mr. Kfmball heaped
high praise on Secretary johnson
and Deputy Secretary Early. No
such praise appeared in the origi-
nal speech.
Mr.. Kimball is a staunch advo-
cate of naval aviation and recently
he was quoted as saying that he
regarded the scrapping of the
Navy's super aircraft carrier as a
mistake" and adding that he
would again advance plans for
that ship "at the proper time"
1t was an assistant in Mr.. Kim
balls Office who prepared the
now discredited memorandum
criticizing the Air Forces B-36
procurement program, although
the Undersecretary has denied
that he knew that the assistant,
Cedric R. Worth, prepared it. Mr..
acknowledged authorship before
the House Armed Services Com
mittee.
