Special Dispstch to The star

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. IT,
The Nays top brass came to
Annapolis today to participate
in the swearing in of Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke as chief OF
naval operations.
An elaborate ceremony marked
the first oath-taking by an OPP
erations chief outside a Wash
ington office.
Admiral Burke. who vaulted
over the heads of 80 senior flag
officers, had asked that the cere-
mony be held at the Naval Acad-
envy in the belief that it would
emphasize the Importance OF the
operating fleet. Originally the
change In command was to have
taken place aboard the aircraft
carrier Ticonderoga at Norfolk
(Va.) Naval Base. But the threat
OF Hurricane Diane made it nee
essary to send the ship to the
open sea for safety.
Today the ceremony was
moved indoors to Bancroft Hall
because of the persistence OF the
Woo Their threat,
In sharp contrast to the usual
oath-takings the one here was
filled with pomp and circum-
stance. Sailors snapped to at
ltention and a band played rufiies
and fiourishes.
| Admiral Burke was accom-
panied to Annapolis by the man
he succeeds, Admiral Robert B
Carney. Secretary of the Navy
Thomas also was present.
| Both the old and new chic
lin their brief speeches STRESSED
the importance Of man in presen
land future warfare. Admira
Carney said that even in thil
scientifically enlightened age w
cannot yet entrust the fate Of
battle to electronics," because
human skill, determination anc
discipline are still the principa,
ingredients of victory"

Ray Robinson may be the under

cal advantage in his middle
weight title bout with Champion
Carl (Bobo) Olson here Friday

Olson has an eight-year age
advantage over the S5-year-old
Robinson. a factor that is strong
ly reflected in his Stool ia
voritism.
Yet Robinson approaches the
fight knowing he twice whipped
the balding titleholder from San
Francisco and also that his do
nestle scene is tranquil.
Olson is training for his fourth
title defense, with his wife seek
ing a divorce, certainly a dis
turbing circumstance. although
the stoical Bobo doesn't show 1t.
Robinson is here with his wife
and 6-year-old son.
Furthermore. Olson still has to
