In a long statement addressed to the new Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Sherman, Captain Crommelin declares that the reprimand was in violation of Naval regulations.

The ceremony went off without a hitch, except for the h1toh1ng - though the bride was a few minutes late at the church, and the V.P. fumbled things a bit &I he took the oath of office - I mean the we4d1n& Towe. As the 1olemn 11ne1 were pre ■ cribed by Dr. Ivan Lee Bolt, Kethod1at Bishop of K1asouri, the Veep got a little mixed up on the phrase - •Ttll death do ua part.• He had to repeat it all over again, but finally got it straight.
