Brevard Navy Boys
Join Fleet Due To
War Scare Abroad
Three Brevard young men who are
with the U. S. Navy spent two days at
their homes here this week, coming
here from Norfolk, Va., where the fleet
was temporarily stationed.
G. A. Mull, connected with the USS"
Whitney, and i Melvin McGaha, with
the USS MacDougal, _both with head
quarters at San Diego, Calif., were with
the fleet of ships stationed at Norfolk,
where a full dress fleet review was to1
have been held April 27. An unexpect
ed order from President Roosevelt on
Saturday cancelled the fleet review and
also drastically altered plans for naval
participation In the New York World’s
Flair.
James Parnell arrived Saturday, and
he was recalled to his ship, the USS
Relief, Sunday morning..
The Brevard young men, who were
expecting a 10-day furlough before
going with the fleet to New York, were
allowed only a two-day stay here with
their parents ^because of President
Roosevelt's sudden order of their lec
tion of the fleet back to the PadllQ
coast , *
