Adm. Rallentine
Takes Post In
Mediterranean
WASHINGTON, </P) — Admiral
Forrest P. Sherman moved swift
ly yesterday to tighten ship under
the new navy top command by as
signing Rear Admiral John J. Bal
lentine. Pacific war hero, to his
own old post in the Mediterran
ean.
Sherman, pulled out of com
mand of the Sixth Task Fleet in
the Mediterranean to take over as
chief of naval operations, was
sworn in only yesterday after a
shakeup growing out of the inter
service row over war roles.
Shortly after the announcement
of Ballentine’s assignment, Sher
man attended his first meeting of
the joint chiefs of staff where the
quarrels over unification policy
had centered.
He was introduced to the other
members of the joint chiefs by the
chairman, Gen. Omar Bradley.
One member was absent. Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg, air force chief
of staff, left Wednesday night for
an inspection visit to Eglin Air
Force Base, Florida.
Adm. Sherman succeeded Ad
mir *1 Louis Denfeld, an outspoken
backer of the admirals’ coterie
that had contended the navy was
being frozen out in strategic deci
sions.
Ballentine will haev the rank of
Vice Admiral in the Mediterran
ean assignment. He has been serv
ing on the general board, the
navy's policy advisory group.

came through the things I did tc
forget God, but I did.” Zamperini
testified.
Another convert is Stuart Ham

sportsman.
Graham is 30, nephew of North
Carolina’s Senator Frank Graham
