...succeed retired Surgeon General Perceval Rossiter of the U. S. Navy, the President upped his White House Physician, Captain Ross Mclntire, to rear admiral and surgeon general. Many another President has eased White House naval, military and medical aides upstairs to high berths, often to the disgust of their ranking officers.
