Admiral William M. Fechteler,
Chief of Naval Operations, told
the Society of Sponsors of the
United States Navy yesterday
that superior naval power would
be essential in the event of war.
II cannot absolutely guaran-
tee victory through command of
the seas alone" he said, but
can guarantee defeat in a war
if we lose command of the seas. "
Speaking at luncheon at the
Mayfower Hotel, Admiral Fech-
teller assured the sponsors that
I'VE have superior naval power" :"
eve must exploit-not neglect
the elements in which we have
superior strength" he declared.
1--WE must lead from strength,
not Notwithstanding the
positive"
The Chief of Naval Operations
spoke in the place of Secretary
of the Navy Robert B. Anderson,
who was prevented by illness
from attending.
The program wound up a two
day meeting of the society which
is made up of women who have
christened combatant ships of
the United States Navy.
Admiral Fechteler noted that
"some of you may be unhappy
that the ship you sponsored is
now in mothballs."
Sometimes think we are
being hampered by our own
frugality," he added. But it's a
never-ending job to fight against
