Crommelin Gets Bridges Support Washington, Nov. 21 (P Navy Captain John G. Crommelin, who would still like to present his arguments about Pentagon policy in formal court martial proceedings, found sympathy today on Capitol HU1. Senator Bridges (R-NH), member of the Armed Services Committee, told reporters that "Captain Cromme lin is entitled either to be cleared or found guilty of the charges against him." What the senator was referring to was announcement that the Navy now considered Crommelin's case This indicated there would; be no court martial to supercede the formal reprimand administered the veteran ot naval aviation. The reprimand Questioned his fitness for com- mand.

Crommelin had expressed hope he would be given a court mar- tial but under Navy regulation he could not demand gucb action.
