HISTORY OF THE CHAPLAIN CORPS I949 - I952 THE CHAPLAINS DIVISION A number of important developments took place within the Chaplain Corps during the years 1949 to 1952 inclusive which deserve a brief mention in this volume. Chaplain Stanton W. Salisbury was ordered to the Chaplains Division in March 1949 to serve as Assistant Director. On September of that year he was promoted to the rank of rear admiral and appointed Chief of Chaplains. He be- came the eighth to serve as such. He succeeded Chaplain William N. Thomas who had served as Chief from 1 July 1945. Chaplain Salisbury re- tired on l February 1953 and was succeeded by Chaplain Edward B. Harp, Jr., whose rank as rear admiral also dated from 1 February. Thus the four year period under review in this chapter coincides with the length of service of Chaplain Salisbury as Chief of Chaplains. Shortly after Chaplain Salisbury took over the responsibilities of his office, the Chaplains Divi- sion was reorganized to bring its Branches into line with comparable desks in the other Divisions and Sections of the Bureau of Naval Personnel. The reorganization, approved lNovember 1949, provided for five Branches under the Assistant Director of the Division. These five, together with the chaplains in charge of each, were: Ecclesiastical Relations Chaplain Elmer E. Bosserman Distribution Chaplain Harris W. Howe Materiel and Special Projects Chaplain Edward J, Hemphill Naval Reserve Chaplain Walter A. Mahler Training' Chaplain Thomas J. Mullins Chaplains Bosserman, Hemphill, and Mullins came into the Division after 1 September 1949. Bosserman and Mullins were assigned to newly established desks. Hemphill succeeded Chaplain Monroe Drew, who had been assigned to the desk handling Materiel and Special Projects in March 1946 and was the first to pioneer for the Chaplains Division in the field of audio-visual education. Drew was released from active duty in October 1949. Chaplain John T. McLaughlin relieved Chaplain Mahler on 20 September 1950. Chaplain Glyn Jones, a veteran of!Korea, reported to the Chaplains Division on 5 December 1950 as the relief of Chaplain Harris W. Howe. Chaplain Joseph P. Mannion succeeded Chaplain Daniel F. Meehan as Assistant Director on2 February 1951. The outbreak of hostilities in Korea in the sum- mer of 1950 necessitated the expansion of the Corps with the consequent increase of administra- tive responsibilities on the part of the Chaplains Division. A desk for Procurement was added in January 1951 and Chaplain Bosserman was moved from Ecclesiastical Relations to take over the new position. Chaplain John H. Craven, another vet- eran of Korea, reported in February of that year as a relief for Bosserman in Ecclesiastical Relations. The Chaplains Division was reorganized in June 1951. By l July 1951 the following four Branches with their sub-divisions were func- tioning under the Assistant Director, Chaplain Joseph P. Mannion. The chaplains in charge of each Branch and Section with their respective Bureau of Naval Personnel identification num- bers were as follows: J- ll Ecclesiastical Relations Branch Chaplain John H. Craven J- 12 Personnel Branch Chaplain Glyn Jones J- 121 Distribution Section Chaplain Glyn Jones J- 122 Reserve Section Chaplain John T. McLaughlin J- 123 Procurement Section Chaplain Elmer E. Bosserman J-13 Logistics Branch Chaplain Edward J. Hemphill J-131 Materiel and Equipment Section Chaplain Edward J. Hemphill J- 14 Training Branch Chaplain Thomas J. Mullins Chaplain Edward B. Harp, Jr., was ordered to the Division in August 1951 as Assistant for Planning. Chaplain Paul W. J, Dickrnan reported for duty in the Division as Head of the Personnel Branch in December 1951, relieving Chaplain Glyn Jones. Several changes in the chaplain personnel of the Division took place in 1952. Chaplain James K. Snelbaker reported in March to assist with the Detail Section. Chaplain Robert W. Coe, Jr., re- lieved Chaplain Bosserman in June 1952. Chap- lain Joseph J. Tubbs reported for duty in the Division in November 1951 and on the following February became the head of the Logistics Branch as the successor to Chaplain Hemphill. Chaplain Charles J. Covert relieved Chaplain Mullins as head of the Training Branch in July 1952. Chap- lain J. Floyd Dreith, who reported for duty in the Division in September 1952, relieved Chaplain Harp as Assistant for Planning in February 1953. Thus on 1 February 1953 the following ten chaplains were on duty in the Chaplains Division lwith their corresponding Bureau of Naval Per- sonnel designationsl: Rear Admiral Edward B. Harp, Jr., Chief of Chaplains, Pers J Commander J. P. Mannion, Assistant Director, Pers Jla
