Capt. Chester Nimitz
To Retire From Navy
To' Make More Money
NORFOLK, Va„ UP)—The son
of America’s World War II Pacif
ic Fleet commander will retire
from the Navy Aug. 1 because he
says he can’t make a living on his
base pay and allowances of $908
a month.
Capt. Chester W..Nimitz Jr., a
veteran of 21 years’ Navy ser
vice, said Friday he will do in
dustrial management work with
Texas Instrument, Inc., a Dallas
manufacturer of electronic equip
ment used in oil work.
Nimitz. 41, a 1936 graduate of
the U.S. Naval Academy and new
commander of the submarine
tender Orion, has three daughters.
His father doesn’t want him to
leave the Navy, Nimitz said, but
“he understands the situation. We
haven’t had a raise in three years.
The cost of living goes up as our
purchasing power comes down.”
On retirement from the Navy,
Nimitz would be eligible for re
tirement pay of $376.74 a month.
A love song is merely a gentle
caress set to music.
