Report
By US Admiral
Paris, May 9.
The Paris newspaper, Le Monde, published today what it alleged to be a secret report by the Chief of US Naval Operations, Admiral William Fechteler, proposing to make the Mediterranean the main base of any counter attack to Soviet aggression.
The report was said to have been sent by Admiral Fechteler to Mr James Seldon Lay, Executive Secretary of the American National Securi- ty Council.
Le Monde said there were reasons to believe in the authenticity of the document which, it added, is also in the possession of the British Ad- miralty.
