MOORER, CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS, to JAMES S. COPLEY, Publisher of a group of papers including the SAN DIEGO UNION, re: COPLEY MEDIA’S SUPPORT of THE MILITARY and U. All the letters are personal and friendly, obviously the two men are friends, equally obvious is that the Very Conservative Admiral is courting the Copley Media through this friendship. The letters are all on official CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS stationery of various sizes (3 are 7×8.5 inches, 2 are 7.5×10.5 inches, 1 is 6×7.5 inches). The letters are all typed and hand signed. The letters reference a couple of notable events, THE PUEBLO CRISIS and INVESTIGATION, and Moorer’s nomination by President Nixon to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (a position Moorer held from 1970 to 1974). The letters are dated from 12 JUN 1968 to 14 MAY 1970. Once again the Navy owes you and your fine publications a commendation for the considerate and highly responsible manner in which you have reported the entire PUEBLO AFFAIR. Your editorial treatment has been distinguished from the beginning by sympathetic and sensitive understanding. Too often, other news media around the nation have damaged the Navy or our men by implication or innuendo. Our job would be much less complicated if some in the news media field would follow the responsible example you have set in this matter. The Country is indeed fortunate that someone in your position is so well aware of the dangers facing us in the years ahead… I assure you that I will do my best in the years ahead and will take advantage of your offer of help. I appreciate the kind sentiments… Incident to my recent nomination by PRESIDENT NIXON to become the next CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF… Would enjoy seeing you here in Washington. SCARCE Group of Six Letters showing a MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL FRIENDSHIP between a CONSERVATIVE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS and a NATIONALISTIC MEDIA MOGUL. Beware the Military Media Complex!

He published the San Diego Union, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and the San Diego Evening Tribune, from 1947 until his death in 1973. His politics were unabashedly conservative, Republican and Nationalist. He had close associations with leading Republicans of the era, including Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. He strongly supported the U. Military and its involvement in Vietnam, and was reportedly, according to Carl Bernstein, in secret cooperation with the CIA.

The Tragic Career of Commodore James Barron US Navy by Paul Barron Watson 1942. Good condition — see all photos. This is not one of the many reprints issued later. This is the actual 1. With rare dust jacket. This has been deemed a culturally and historically important book. First Edition, First printing. Paul Barron Watson, author, born in Morristown, New Jersey, 25 March, 1861. He was graduated at Harvard in 1881, studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1885, and practiced in Boston. He has published a “Bibliography of the Pre-Columbian Discoveries of America” in the ” Library Journal” (1881), which was reprinted in Rasmus B. Anderson’s ” America not Discovered by Columbus” (Chicago, 1884), and is the author of a ” Life of Marcus Aurelius ” Commodore Barron commanded the largest American naval squadron in 1807. James Barron was an officer in the United States Navy. Fired upon by a British frigate, he was forced to surrender, an incident which inflamed American public opinion. Although war was averted, the incident brought Barron’s at sea naval activity to a close. As commander of the frigate USS Chesapeake, he was court-martialed for his actions. After criticism from some fellow officers, the resulting controversy led Barron to a duel with Stephen Decatur, one of the officers who presided over his court-martial. Suspended from command, he pursued commercial interests in Europe during the War of 1812. Barron finished his naval career on shore duty, becoming the Navy’s senior officer in 1839.
