Poker-Playing CNO: New Navy
Boss Succeeds Bridge-Player
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON—With Admiral
William M. Fechteler as it new
Chief of Naval Operations the
Navy gets a fearless, honest, hard
driving man steeped in the tradi
tion of the sea-going service and
completely dedicated to further
ing its best interests.
He takes the Navy's seat on the
Joint Chief of Staff with the re
spect of the other members, com
pletely wise in the devious ways
of Washington maneuvering and
as one of the Navy's top ranking
poker players. ‘
His personality is best described
in contrast to that of the suave,
keenly intellectual, sometimes
solemn and almost prim former
CNO, the late Admiral Forrest P.
Sherman, whom he replaces.
Fechteler is big, bluff, ~good
humored completely candid in all’
of his dealings and exudes a l
“horse sense” type of intelligence.
Fechteler has just about the same
reputation as a poker player as |
Sherman had as a bridge player, a |
neat delineation of the person- |
alities of the two men. =~
¢- P I
Although far from handsome in ‘
the Hollywood tradition of ad-|
mirals, he has a square face with
friendly gray eyes and an easy
grin as its chief assets. He’s not
quite six feet tall, stocky but not ‘
fleshy. with just the trace of a
stoop to his shoulders. Navy men l
say that’s “bridge posture” from |
hours of leaning on the railing of |
a ship in a pitching sea.
Over his crop of short, steel
srey hair he prefers to wear his
cap at a very jaunty angle, one of f
Fechteler's personal marks of |
identification in the Navy. He
speaks with a deep, hearty vni(-e;
and laughs from way down in |
side. Associates say he has a won- |
derful erop of funny stories and |
tells them well. When addressing |
men in official meetings he is
completely down to earth. |
If Fechteler brings any short- |
coming to his new job it's per-:
haps a sort of inbred impatience
with the red tape and delays of '
shore duty and especially duty in |
Washington. He explains his love |
for a command at sea: |
@ ok % E
«A ship skipper’s billet provides
the greatest personal satisfaction l
and sense of accomplihment.
When you are the captain of a
ship, you are king and you can.
see immediately the results of
vour work. As an example, you
order right rudder, and ship and
all hanas aboard come to the
right immediately.” ’
He claims that the toughest
duty he has ever drawn in the
Navy “was lar and away the three
vears I spenf as Deputy Chief of
Naval Operations for Personnel.”
Fechteler's love of the sea comes
to him honestly. 2
As @ small lad he was able to
make frequent visits to naval
ships under command of his fa
ther, the late Rear Admiral Au
gustus F. Fechteler. |
-- - \
.He has known practically no
other life than that board ship
or on some U. S. or foreign naval
base. “I have no recollection of my
boyhood when I did not want to
be in the Navy,” he claims,
One of the big assets he brings
to the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a
completely clean shirt as far as
any involvement in past unifiea
tion sueding goes. The job Fech
teler did during World War Il in
guarding the landoings of U. S.
Army troops on more than a doz
en beaches won him the unstinted
praise of Gen Dougias MacAr
thur many times.
The working unification he
helped ereate in the Pacific with
the Army and Air Force is ex
pected to stand him in good sead
for his bigger job of helping to
direct the administration of uni
fication.
* * *
_ The only surprise of Fechtel
er’s appointment as CNO arose
over the fact that he is not an
aviator. It was the belief that the
job should go to a Navy flier in
order to put him on equal terms
with the Air Force’s Gen. Vanden
berg on the JCS when the impor
tant subject of air - strategy and
tacties came up. He ended any
fears at least on lack of fealty to to
air power in the first press con
ference after his appointment by
aying:
«The Navy without a topflight
air arm is totally inadequate to the
job the Navy has today. A con
crete example of my attitude to
ward air is my selection for the
post of vice-chief of naval opera
tions, Vice Admiral Donald Dun
can, one of the foremost aviators
in the Navy.”
The Admiral’s promotion to this
important job will make a wel

come aadition to Washington's so
cial life. His gregarious nature
and love of people around him
make him a popular guest.
The Fechtelers have two chil
dren, a grown son and daughter.
Mrs. Fechtler was formerly mar
ried to a submarine officer who
was killed in an accident. Their
son is the Admiral’s step-son.
Watch Manners
On Visit
It isn’t too often that most of s
have a chance to bring out our
guest manners—and ‘when we do,
we often find they've grown a bit
rusty.
If you're- planning to visit
friends soon as a part of your va
cation fun, now’s the time to ex
amine your week-end etiquette to
make sure you're all set to play
the part of company.
This is a special role, and one
that requires advance preparation.
If you've no advance knowledge
of the setting, gained in previous
visits, you'll find a few discreet
inquiries are in order before you
walk onto the spotlight as honor
ed guest,
Props are important. When
you've be invited for a quiet
week-end in the country, if's a
mistake to arrive laden down with
tennis racts, riding habits, bath
ing suits and golf clubs,
Your hostess, who may have
planned nothing more strenuous
than an afternoon in the porch
glider, may take your lavish para
phernalia as a reproach for the
dullness of her entertinment.
It's best to learn in advance
what vou're expected to bring in
the way of equipment and ward
robe. h
- Before packing up everything
L you own in the way of clothing, it's
!a good idea, too, to check with
your hostess concerning guest
space. Company causes enough
confusion at best.
. When closets and drawers must
be emptied or disarranged to make
room for unnecessary belongings
carted along by an unthinking
guest, the atmosphere is likely to
grow tense. o
| Another tension-builder is the
guest who plays the great lady,
making no moveyto help an over
worked hostess or, in case of ser
l vants, monopolizing them for per
sonal chores.
| Tt won't spoil your vacation to
!lend a hand if there are peas to
| be shelled; and it won’t spoil your
| hostess’ regard for you if you re
| frain from asking her maid to iron
!your dress just at the time she’s
| needed to clean or cook.
l Having heeded such obvious
| don’ts, here are some do’s to re
| meniber. Do provide your own
¥diversion part of the time. Your
| hostess needs an occassional mo-
Iment to ¢olleet her wits and re-
I yview her normal household duties.
Do remember to bring a small
remembrance for the children
when you come. A gift for your
hostess is in order, too. You may
bring this when you come, or send
it, along with your bread-and
butter note, at the conclusion of
your visit.
Whether this visit is a pleasant
one or not depends at least 50 per
cent on you.
I MORE STEEL THAN TIN
i The cans in which most of our
| foods are packed are at least
98 1% per cent steel, less than 1 %2
per cent tin. The tin is applied
in a thin coating to the inside
and outside of the can, and
serves to precent rust and to in
sulate against air, heat and light.
The can of “tin can” is derived
from the English “tin canister.”
g e e ——————
A new use for nylon, unrelated
| to stockings or other familiar arti
! cles, has been found. Drawn nylon
{ fibers can be used as a base upon
which to deposit electrolytically
very fine tubes useful in electid
nies and instruments.
Dairy cows drink an average of
1100 to 120 pounds of water a day.
REALISTIC PAINTER
The ancient greek painter,
Zeuxis, reputedly painted grapes
so realistically that they attracted
birds, according to the Encyclo
pedia Britannica,
FATAL PLANE
The plane designed by Anthony
Fokker and used by Germany
during World War 1 was credited
with approximately 50 percent of
the Allied casualties.
e b
The element titanium is lighter
than iron ,stronger than alumi
num, more corrosion - resistant
than stanless steel, and more
abundant in the earth's crust than
copper.
