U.S. NAVAL BASE
COMMAND TRANSFER CEREMONY (P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 12. Command of the United States naval operating base at Auckland was relinquished by Commodore Stanley D. Jupp, U.S.N., who is under orders of transfer as a result of the drastic reduction now being made in American naval activities in New Zealand. Commodore Jupp has been succeeded by Commander James L. Robertson, who has been executive officer, or second in command, of the base. Like Commodore Jiiipp, Commander Robertson wears the insignia of his navy's submarine service.
The formal transfer of the command was made at a ceremony which was held in the city to-day. Commodore Jupp said his tasik had not been easy. It had included not' only the movement of personnel through the area, but also a considerable building programme. He bad the support, however, of a loyal and efficient team of officers.
