Navy 10 Shift
Support Jobs

BY the Associated Press

The Navy has given up It's
original idea of creating a new,
high-ranking post for an ad-
miral under its reorganization
plan. but is building up an ex-
listing agency to handle some
of its missions.
Navy Secretary Fred Korth,
In a news conference yesterday
on the management reorgan-
ization now going into effect,
said four bureaus - Ships,
Weapons, Yards and Docks,
and Supplies and Accounts
would be relieved of present
responsibilities for administer
ing direct fleet support activi-
ties.
New Office Opposed
These functions will be trans
ferred to the present Chief of
Navy Material.
Originally it had been
planned to create a new Chief
of Naval Support, with those.
and other duties, but the idea
met heavy opposition from top
Navy officials.
Mr.. Korth said there would
be mo change" in the status
of the four bureau chiefs af-
fected by the reorganization.
They will continue to report to
him through the Assistant Sec
rotary for Logistics and In
stallations, he said.
The chief of material will
continue to have three-star
rank and be appointed for no
specified tenure in office, Mr..
Korth said. Present chief of
material is Vice Admiral
George F. Beardsley, a member
of the special committee which
studied and submitted recon-
mendations for the new organ
ization.
He is retiring soon, however,
and Vice Admiral William A.
Schoech has been nominated
for the post, which now be-
comes one of the most impor-
tant in the Navy.
Effect on Contracts
When asked what effect the
reorganization might have on
firms holding production con-
tracts, Mr.. Korth said each of
the bureau chiefs would con-
tinue to do his own contract
in, but that the chief of ma
terial will Coordinate" the
work of the four bureaus. The
material chief is responsible
for policy direction" Mr..
Korth said.
Mr.. Korth was asked whether
the opinions of Admiral
George W. Anderson regarding
the reorganization plan figured
in the administration decision
against reappointing Admiral
Anderson for a second term as
Chief of Naval Operations.
Mr.. Korth replied "emphati-
cally, no."
He said Admiral Anderson
now approved in principal"
the reorganization plan.
