The citation, in part, follows, “For distinguished service to the United States Navy while serving as the first Technical Director of the Naval Ordnance Test Station, Inyokern, California, from October 1946 to October 1951. Under his discerning supervision and practical leadership the Naval Ordnance Test Station at Inyokern achieved a position of scientific eminence and has received national recognition for its successes in the research and development of airborne jet-propelled weapons and their fire control. His inspiring cultivation of a new pattern in civilian military organization has augmented and strengthened the scientific resources and prestige of the Navy as a whole.” Photograph released April 2, 1952.
