NEW G.0.C.?
“ALL RUMOURS,” SAYS PRIME MINISTER COMMISSIONER OF POLICE (THE SU2PS Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Today. Rumours have gained currency that Major-General Young, C. 8., C.M.G, D. 5.0., general officer commanding the New Zealand Forces, is to retire this year in order to become Commissioner of Police, and that Brigadier-General M. M. Gardner, D. 5.0., officer commanding the Southern command, will be General Young's successor. The report was referred today to the Prime Minister, Sir Joseph Ward, who gave the suggestions an emphatic denial. “There is nothing in them. They I are merely rumours,” he said.
