FAY WASHINGTON #—The name of Becretary of the Navy Robert An. derson rode high today in specula- ¢ion on the administration’s choice of a successor for Rogér B. Kyes in the Defense Department's No, 2. ole White House and Pentagon gnnounced over the weekend Kyes will leave the deputy secretaryship where he has served with Secre- tary of Defense Wilson since the outset of the Eisenhower admin- istration, s Kyes, interviewed at his home pear Detroit, emphasized that his resignation “‘has absolutely nothing to do” with the recent clash be- ¢ween Secretary of the Army Rob- ert T. Stevens and Sen. McCarthy @ecision on a new deputy secre- ¢ary already was made and that announcement of his identity could be expected shortly, perhaps by tomorrow. Kyes and his former General Motors Corp. colleague, Wilson, doth said the deputy secretary took the job with the understanding he would remain for only a year. The assumption here is that Kyes will return to some official position with GM. However, he said he ‘was not sure he would return to the automobile business.
