Pace (914 words)
Frank Pace Jr., lawyer and secretary of the Army, 1950-1953, was born July 5, 1912, the son of prominent Little Rock, Arkansas, lawyer Frank Pace and his wife, Flora Layton Pace.
Pace's appointment was greeted with skepticism by military leaders and supporters because of his youth (37 years old), reputation for cost cutting, and his lack of experience on defense issues.
Pace was in his post as civilian head of the U.S. Army less than nine weeks when the Korean War broke out, and while he was involved in virtually all the top strategy meetings which ultimately resulted in the commitment of U.S. combat forces, his impact on the course of events was minimal.
