3 Chicago Tribune, Monday, January 3, 2000 Section 2 7 OBITUARIES Former Navy chief Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. ASSOCIATED PRESS DURHAM, N.C.-Retired Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt known at the peak of his career for modernizing the Navy and later for ordering the spraying of Agent Orange in Vietnam, died Sunday.

He was 79. Adm. Zumwalt died of complications from surgery at. Duke University Medical Center after doctors discovered a cancerous tumor in his chest on Sept. 24, said Horace Robertson, a family friend.

As commander of Navy forces during the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1970, Adm. Zumwalt believed he inadvertently caused the death of his own son, Elmo Zumwalt III, by ordering the spraying of Vietnam jungles with Agent Orange, a defoliant that contained the toxic chemical dioxin. The son, who fought under his father's command, died of cancer in 1988. The son said he did not blame his father for his illness, and Adm. Zumwalt said he did not regret his order.

"I do not have any guilt feelings because I was convinced then, and I am convinced now, that the use of Agent Orange saved literally hundreds and maybe thousands of lives," Adm. Zumwalt said in 1985. Adm. Zumwalt led efforts for more research into the chemical's deadly effects. The Department of Veterans Affairs now provides medical treatment and payments for various cancers and other diseases associated with exposure to Agent Orange.

"No one has done more to face the consequences of Agent Orange and provide benefits to sick vets," Bobby Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation in Washington, D.C., said Sunday. "Not many military officials now want to deal with Agent Orange exposure." Adm. Zumwalt wrote two books. "My Watch," published in 1976, recounted his Navy career and warned Americans about the Soviet naval threat. "My Father, My Son," published in 1986, was cowritten with his late son and is an account of their Vietnam experiences and the son's cancer.

"His bold, visionary leadership brought great change to our service in the early '70s," said Adm. Jay Johnson, chief of naval operations. "His actions had profound impacts on the size, shape and culture of our Navy, which are still evident today, nearly three decades after his watch." He said Adm. Zumwalt's most treasured legacy is his unswerving commitment to improving the lives of sailors. "He carried that commitment forward even in retirement," Johnson said.

"Bud Zumwalt never stopped caring for or working to improve the sailor's life. We are a measure richer for his efforts." At age 44, Adm. Zumwalt became a rear admiral, the youngest to reach that rank. When he became the Navy's top officer in July 1970, he was 49 and the youngest officer named to that post. He quickly became famous for his "Z-Grams," which made Navy careers more attractive by relaxing regulations that enlisted men Adm.

Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. considered demeaning and senseless. Among other things, the "Z- Grams" permitted beards and long hair if maintained neatly, the wearing of civilian clothes at shore installations and more free time in port. Adm.

Zumwalt also abolished the prerequisite of attaining the rank of admiral for holding a major command at sea and widened freedom of choice in assignments. At the Naval Academy, his attitude toward meaningless regulation was reflected early in the fact that in his class of 615 midshipmen he ranked 24th academically but 275th in conduct. Adm. Zumwalt, who was born in Tulare, graduated cum laude from the Naval Academy in 1942. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his valor during the Battle of Leyte Gulf during World War II.

In January 1998, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He retired as chief of naval operations in July 1974. He unsuccessfully ran as the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Virginia in 1976. To place your Dedication Announcement, Call (312) 222-2222 O'NEILL Thomas B.
