The carrying out of any such pro posal. it is pointed out by those oppos ing this recommendation. will have a detrimental effect, especially upon the officers in the technical and supply branches. That viorous objection will be made to the proposal, even in the face of War Department approval, is conceded, the objections being based on the invidicus distinction it seeks to add to the j inconsistency be tween line general officers and of the staff branches.

Inquiries which have re. | cently been received by the War and ¥ Departments with respect to | those officers who have been placed jon the retired lists for other than age, indicate that proposals will be made for the abolishment of retire- is e the mili o mauke their plans, and in some stances when made a sufficient tin | ahead they were changed on short no { tice the desire to so stick to | the schedules this yvear that there { might not be further complaint on this | account.

Secretary Wilbur pointed out that |such a provision was included in the Naval Reserve organization act, and cre appeared to be no need for the luaditional legislation. The new act also provides that when taking train {ing cruises which extend over a 31 |day month, that the officers and men shall be paid for this year. Hereto !fore, it was pointed out. when resery {ists made a cruise with calendar st in it, they w not paid. be | cause ruling of the controller eneral !

In that ievent the only experience they will get aboard ship will be on the annual 15-day cruises. Admiral Shoemaker, chief” of the Bureau of Navigation, pointed out to Congress that some of | the Reserve organizations have jmories, but they would not get the | actual ‘seagoing on ships, the piloting, navigation and handling of and all such seafaring work that they do now. simply be moved out calities, and they would not have any. thing to work with. When questioned as to the possibil ity of disposing of subchasers and eagle boats in favor of air- for the coast defenses, Ad Shoemaker said that these were primarily designed to search for and destroy submarines, and the Navy always was understood to have a certain number of them on the coast. It is a question, he said. | whether their place can be taken by aviation craft. In the last war, he said, the Germans lost 178 submarines, {and of those only five were destroyed through the agency of aircraft.. The other phase of the question, he con tinued, is this: The Reserves now to be trained on eagle boats and sub- chasers are getting the sea habit, or learning to live aboard ship, and are learning a great deal in the way of pilotage, and about handling small vessels, ‘as well as operation of the apparatus on board. That is some- thing, he asserted, that would be ex. tremely valuable to them when they were transferred to destroyers or other craft to which they might be detailed to work in time of war. of of certain lo- 4 the ! engines | These ships, he said, would | ment for age.

No corresponding {henefit would be derived, it is pointed out. by the retention of officers on active ‘duty until physically incapaci \tated regardless of age, and it is pre jsumed that the system of retiring for | serv would e abandoned. The jonly advantage to the service in pro- Honging the period of active service | wus that afforded by the Navy in 1916, ! \when, in order to make it correspond with the retiring age of the Army. the {retired age was advanced from 62 to 4 vears.

Efforts will be made, it is stated. to establish exact uniformity in the mat- ter of ailowances which would elimi- nate the present distinction now made between officers with dependents and those without dependents, to the mone- tary advantage of the former. This situation has been the cause of consid- erable discontent among the personnel of the services, and, it seems, will be a difficult matter to correct, at least in the near future. It is recognized. Lowever, that a grave injustice is be- ing done in denying unmarried office without dependents, the allowances ac- corded to their assocfates who are married or who have, if unmarried, de pendent mothers. For instance, there is a difference in compensation for ensigns of the and second lieutenants of the Army of $480 a year, depending upon whether the officer concerned is with or with out dependents; there is a difference of $938 in pay between junior lientenants of the Navy and first lleutenants of the Army; that between Heutenants of the Navy and captains of the Army is $1.179: while that between a lieutenant commander in the Navy and a major in the military establishment is $1 a year, which averages $136.50 per month. a considerable sum. It is recognized now that it was the gravest of mistakes in the establish ment of a difference in the allowance to officers of the military and Navy { establishments. Fair provision was not nade, it is said, to adequately deal with those unmarried officers upon whom was imposed the necessity of supporting dependents not mentioned liv the law, but who were, notwith- | standing, none the less dependent. Much confusion has resulted in execut the present stipulations of the |law. and disbursing officers especial Iy ‘who have had to deal with this perplexing situation would be greatly relieved in the administration of their accounts if a modification is made of the present statute. The establish ment of pay and allowances, distinction for any reason. not only would result in uniformity of compen sation, but it would appreciably beng fit the entire service personnel | ing of al NAVY. ubsorbing interest the entire establishment was the repo d of officers on the policy to aviation personnel of the Nuvy. which was approved this week by Rear Admiral W. R. Shoemaker, chief of the Bureau of. Navigation, | with some interesting comment. Great |irterest was attached to that para- e ph- which p ribed that “‘officers | ordered to Pen for training as naval aviators ake the regular | course being xcept officers of | the grade of captain and above need {not take radio practice beyond ten words a minute and where found necessary in any case a safety pilot [m»\\‘ be in the plane il The purpose of this paragraph, it is ! pointed out by Admiral Shoemaker. in | commenting upon this phase of the | board’s report, is to provide captains for air craft carrie nd important {air stations. At the present time there is but one naval aviator holding the rank of rear admiral and but one | the rank of captain who are sufficient miliar w i line duties to be as signed to details appropriate to those grades. Going still further down the {line, Admiral Shoemuker continued |there ave but three naval aylators | holding the rank of commander, but |an_examination of their service rec ords reveals the fact that they not had sufficient previous executive and command duty swhich would jus tify any one of them to be ordered to command an atrplune carrier.

Of the five captains | who are now under orders to underzo !the course of instruction at Pensacola, |four have the required aviation ex- perience necessary to command air- plane carriers.
