NAVY SECT ANDERSON MAY SUCCEED KYES IN DEFENSE JOBBy ELTON C. FAY

WASHINGTON The name ofSecretary of the Navy Robert An-

dertoa rode high today in specula-

tion on the administration's choiceof a successor for Roger B. Kyes

in the Defense Department’s No. 2.

The White House and Pentagonannounced over the weekend Kyeswillleave the deputy secretaryship

where he has served with Secre-tary of Defense Wilson since theoutset of the Eisenhower admin-istration.

Kyes, interviewed at his homepear Detroit, emphasized that hisresignation "has absolutely nothingto do” with the recent clash be-

tween Secretary of the Army Rob-ert T. Stevens and Sen. McCarthy

(R-Wis).Pentagon sources indicated the

decision on anew deputy secre-tary already was made and thatannouncement of his identity couldbe expected shortly, perhaps by

tomorrow.Kyes and his former General

Motors Corp. colleague, Wilson,both said the deputy secretary tookthe job with the understanding hewould remain for only a year. Theassumption here is that Kyes willreturn to some official positionwith GM. However, he said hewas not sure he would return tothe automobile business.

While Anderson’s name wasmentioned prominently in guessestoday, it actually was only one ofseveral names of men, both in andout of government, considered pos-sibilities.

Those who talked of Anderson,

a Texas businessman and rancher,figured it this way:

Wilson reportedly wanted to turnto the service secretariat in pick-ing a man for the second mostimportant job in the huge mili-tary establishment, rather thandisturb his "team” arrangementof assistant defense secretaries.

In seniority and precedence, theArmy secretary normally wouldrate first. But while the WhiteHouse and Pentagon have backedStevens in the stormy row withMcCarthy, they may feel theycould not promote him to the dep-uty defense secretary post with-out risking repercussions.

Secretary of the Air ForceHarold Talbott has been praisedhighly by Wilson for his reorgan-ization of procurement programsand business administrationr—buton at least one occasion a com-ment attributed to him produceddiplomatic ripples abroad.

Talbott last Nov. 2 was quotedas saying, while on a Europeantour, the proposed U.S. air basesin Spain eventually would havesupplies of atomic weapons ifSpain agreed.

Next day he denied making thestatement and Secretary of StateDulles said there were no suchplans.

Anderson, on the other hand,is described as having the samemanagement sagacity as the othertwo service secretaries—but hassucceeded in steering dear ofembarrassments like those suf-fered by Stevens and Talbott.

The possibility that an outsider!

might be asked to accept the jobwas not precluded in Pentagon

talk.In this connection, there was

mention of such names as PaulG. Hoffman, like Wilson and Kyes

a motor industry man and a for-mer foreign aid program admin-istrator, and of John J. McCloy, 1New York banker who has heldseveral important government

posts in Washington and abroadduring the last decade.

! Stevens’ encounter with McCar-

thy resulted in so many reportsthat he had or would resign thatthe Army secretary on Saturday

issued a formal denial declaring

“nothing could be further from

the truth.”Repercussions from the high-

level fracas sounded throughoutthe weekend.

Adlai E. Stevenson, the 1952Democratic presidential nominee,cited it Saturday as illustratinghis contention that "a politicalparty divided against itself, halfMcCarthy and half Eisenhower,cannot produce national unity orgovern with confidence and pur-pose.”

Stevenson spoke to Democraticleaders in Miami Beach, Fla.

But McCarthy, vacationing inMiami Beach, said Stevenson'scharge “just isn’t so.”“I campaigned for Eisenhower

in 1952 and I’d campaign for himagain today,” he said, asserting,“the President is right 95 per centof the time, which is a very bigaverage.”

He said he and Stevens “dis-agreed on how a job should bedone, that’s all.”

In New York, former PresidentHarry S. Truman, who earlier haddeclined comment on the McCar-thy-Stevens controversy, said, “Iendorse Mr. Stevenson’s speech

entirely.”It was a complaint over Mc-

Carthy’s questioning of a generalthat brought on the explosive rowwith Stevens.
