|, Admiral King was born in Lo-

1878, the son Of master me-
chanic for the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad.
He was graduated fourth in
the Naval Academy class of 1901
and, as was hte custom at the
time, he was commissioned two
years later after ship board
service. AS a naval cadet he saw
service in Rear Admiral Samp-
sons command in the Spanish
American War.
In 1922, as a commander, he

While commandment at the SUBJ

! While in command of the

Admiral King became convinced
that a naval officer should know
how to handle planes as well as
ships of the feet. Despite
warnings that he was too old at
48, he went to the Naval Air
Station at Pensacola. Fla. in
1927 and qualified as a naval
aviator.

Admiral King directed the
atomic bomb tests at Bikini after
the war, but he never retreated
from his belief that the bomb did
not mean the end of usefulness
of the Navy as a fighting and
landing force.
Admiral King was said by his
close associates to have COM
planned sometimes that he had
to fight" the war from the
decks of the USS Dauntless,
a yacht anchored at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, where he
lived during the war years.
On several occasions, however,
he encountered personal danger.
In 1943 at the Quebec Con-
ference he was grazed by a bull
let fired during a British test of
material for a proposed aircraft
carrier of ice. In 1887 he and
eight other occupants of a sea-
plane fell into the Pacific Ocean
of Mexico. They were rescued
by an aircraft tender, but only
after a school of sharks circled
about the fast-sinking wreckage.
Admiral King made no secret

greSsional hearings. His opinions

ciates admired him for his fair
mindedness and his triple-threat
skill as an officer experienced in
surface. submarine and air war
fare, while the American public
felt secure because he was a
flrst-rate fighter at the helm.
Sought Strong Peacetime Navy
Since the end of the war ADJ
miral King fought for a strong
postwar Navy as a force for
peace. He advocated maintain
ing overseas bases, superiority in
development of the atomic bomb
and universal military training.
He opposed merger of the Army
and Navy and separation of Navy
aviation from the rest of the
service. although he often in
sisted that the war could not
have been won except by team
work" of the services.
Months before the Pearl Har-
Dor attack, he was on record as
having foreseen the entry of this
country into the war. He pre-
dicted in July 1941. that "per-
haps the time is not far of when
we will be shot at"
Only two weeks after the
Japanese attack, Admiral King
was named commander in CHIEF
of the United States Fleet. He
had been commander in chief
of the Atlantic Fleet since Febru-
airy, 1941. On March IL, 1912
the Offices of commander in chief
of the United States Fleet and
