Washington The recent
change in the navy's top command
serves to point up n fact; The
navy's real boss is the secretary.
No man in uniform can overrule
him once he has made up his
mind.
When a man is made chief OF
naval operations he becomes the
highest ranking active officer in
the navy. He has command of the
fleets and has the responsibility
for keeping them ready for war.
But the secretary always has
command of him.
The job of chief of naval opera
tions is a relatively new me. II
wasn't created until 1915. Before
then the secretary personally eX-
ercised control over all the fleets
and bureaus Of the navy depart
ment.
Created In 1873
The office of secretary as ere
ated in 1898. The bureaus were
established in 1912.
When the office of the Chief
of Naval Operations was created,
by law, this country was follow
ing the British pattern, At the
mead OF the British navy is a civil
ian. the first lord of the Admir-
atty. Under him is a professional
sailor who manages the navy for
him. His title is first e lord.
The powers Of our chief of nav
al operations tCNO) were at first
rather vague. The law said that
he should, under the direction Of
the Secretary of the Navy, be
charged with the operations of
the fleet, and with the prepare
ton and plans for its use in war"
But the Ono was not clearly in
command of the navy. To correct
this. during World War II tn G
0NO was HldaG CpilittldflNti III
chief Of the US fleet. Fleet Adm.
Ernest ]. King held the dual po-
sitoon.
sition.
Shortly after the war was over
President Truman abolished the
office of the commander-in-ehie
of the U. S. Fleet and in an exec
utive order gave a new. clearer
definition of the powers of the
Ono. The order stated flatly that
the secretary of the Navy was the
commander of the navy, under the
president, but that the ono shall
have command of the operating
forces comprising the severa.
fleets. seagoing forces, sea from.
tier forces, district and other fore.
es, and the related establishment
of the navy, and shall be respon.
sible to the Secretary of the Nav!

The majority OF people still
refer to the mill as the Wooden
Mill but the wool's gone out of
the Wooden Mill these days. To-
day the immense production
room huns with noises attendant
on the turning out of hundreds
of bathing suits and polo shirts
a combination that has made this
the largest mill in the world man
ufacturing these two articles.
Under the artificial daytime"
light, scores of women pick up,
stitch and pass on their particu-
lar little part of the bathing suit
in a brand new unit operation
that was the idea of the mill
manager. Saul Peterzell.
The last swim suits-the knit

only by the professional swimmer.

bundle method.
In a broad translation. this
means that when a sewer finished
her particular job. such as at
taching a front or sewing on the
straps. she tied the suits in bun
dies and they were put in a cen
trail location to be inspected be-
fore being passed on to the next
worker for the next operation.
Now the feeder system is used
where four or five women work
in a group, passing the fragment
of the suit on which they work
to the inspector who in turn looks
over the work and feeds" it to
the next group for the next job.

Much of the material for the
polo shirts is made at the mill.
Swim suit fabric is shipped in,
however. And for one particular
shirt. known in the industry as
the '~raschel," the yarn is sent
from the South to Eastern mills
where il is woven into material
and sent back here TO be fash
toned into the shirts which are
then sent back to the East or
North or West or South.
Conversion to the bathing suit
business meant major changes in
the general layout Of the mill
with installation of different ma
chimes as well as training of OPP
orators for their new jobs.

duction, however, Mr. Peterzell
said, I'VE were able TO make good

war that after hostiiities we
would increase our employment.
We said then we aimed at being
