The opinion was |expressed in the Navy Department | this week that this sequel to pend- legislatlon is inevitable, and it is | surnysed that M. Vinson, who is fully cquiinted with the many ramific tions involved in the creation of single promotion list for the Navy, will introduce legislation embracing these provisions in the near future. It is realized in the Navy Depa ment that the construction ¢ A single s { promotion list for the M is a most | vexatious problem to : s there | tion lare considerably many more intricate | |angles involved therein than in staf-line equallzation - adjustment. Once positions on the single list are determined by length of service or possible date of commission, it is be- lieved that the amalgamation of the three stafl corps mentioned with the line will be practicable. After this ar- d in | operation, it is contended that it would |be of decided advantage In the end. This estimate of benefit is derived |from the fact that all appointees to {line and the three’staff corps, with the { exception of the Medical and Dental | Corps and the chaplains, would be from graduate Naval Acad- w. ing In The new air Asla g 2 for C of the will The creation of a single promotion list for the Navy is favored by Chair- | man Butler, who would extend it so s to include mentbers of the medical | {wnd dental branches.
