Lin- | m on conditions in the Regular | | Army affecting the morale of hoth officers and enlisted men. Maj tram F. Duckwall, another medical officer. has also drawn some ipterest- ing deductions on thix subject It was contended by Maj. Linthi cum that Army officers had gone be | vond the limit of endurance, physical |and mental, while Maj. Duckwall pointed out that “it is really not so | much the amount of actual work that breaks down morale and makes for dificulties, but it is the atmosphere in which such work is performed.” The {latter in his paper finds that the easi- | est possible situation may become the most difficult by reason of hard-driv- | ing tactics, antagonism and the cur- tailment of privileges to no purpose by those in authority. The conclusion is reached by Maj. Duckwall that ec- centricity among officers may be de- fined as “that form of behavior be- yond the limits of individual variation in the reaction to unconscious com- | plexes.” a result of his Lecentricity a ervations, Maj. | Duckwall has selected six types of eccentricity which. in his estimatfon, are undermining morale among their sociates and subordinates in the Regular Army. He describes them as follows: The busybody, the inattentive type, the explosive type, the hypo- critical type, the stercotype and the mixed types. It is brought out in his paper that more and more study of the psychology of officers will be made in the future, “With the selection of appropriate positions for the various types,” Maj. Duckwall said in concluding his paper, “or by extended psycho-analysis go as to lay bare to the officers concerned their complexes, a much higher stand- ard of morale is bound to follow. Naturally the burden of such work must fall on the Medical Department, as in that branch are to be found the men qualified to condut such a study. Careful judgment and tact, coupled with professional ability, are prerequi- sites for those who should be charged with this important duty.” NAVY. The annual board of general ofticers {of the Marine Corps will meet at Ma- {rine Corps headquarters on or about May 20 for the purpose of preparing a list of those officers who are consid- ered eligible for appointment as heads of the staff departments of the corps. In addition to Maj. Gen. John A. Le- jeune, commandant, U. S. Marine Corps, who heads the board, it is com- posed of the following brigadier gen- erals: George Richards, paymaster; Cherles L. McCawley, quartermaster; Rufus H, Lane, adjutant and inspec- tor, and the two additional members, who are Brig. Gens. Ben H. Fuller and Dion Williams. Qf the latter two ad- ditional members one will serve on the board as a permanent member, | while the other will serve in place of {thv present staff department heads while consideration is made of those eligible for their respective depart- ments. Early in June a board of Marine | Corps officers will meet for the pur-| pose of preparing & list of officers who are considered eligible for appointment | as brigadier generals In the line of the corps. The law prescribes -that the absence of the name of any officer holding the rank of colonel, which | does not appear on one or the other of the eligible lists in any year, and | Who has attained or will attain during | | the year the age of 56 years, will be | | placed upon the retired list. Maj. Randolph Coyle. who | captain of the 1926 Marine Corps rifle | jand pistol teams, will have four as- sistants, three of whom have already been designated They are Capts Allen H. Turnage, executive officer; Joseph Jackson, coach, and Eugene L. Mullaly, assistant coach. The fourth assistant, who will be designated in the near future, will be an assistant coach for pistols. Notwithstanding the fact that flying is the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. is not included in the regular perform- 11929 ance of their duties, a report compiled in the Navy Department shows that 52 per cent of the line officers of the battle and scouting fleets, or 588 of the 1,135 officers on duty with these fleets, have flown a total c? over 5,400 hours. This report also serves to re- fute the allegations made recently that very little flying was done by the senior officers of the Navy, the report showing that the percentage of senior officers who have flown is equally as high as_that of thé junior officers, namely: officers, per cent; cap- tains, 45 per cent, and commanders, 52 per cent. The vice admiral of the battle fleet has made 4 flights: 11 flights have been made by the 4 rear admirals attached thereto; 631 flights have been made by 9 of the 17 cap: tains: half of the 30 commanders, 163 flights: 38 of the 71 lieutenant com- mander 3 flights; 93: of the 170 licutenants, 637 flights: 45 of the 76 leutenants (junior grade). 467 fights while 802 flights have been made by 171 of the 376 enslgna. In the scouting fleet the compila- tion shows that 4 flights have been made by 2 of 3 rear admirals, 64 flights have been made by & of the 14 captains, 343 flights have been made by 10 of the 18 commanders: 35 of 51 lleutenant commanders, 769 flight 49 of 87 lieutenants, 259 flights; 34 of 42 lieutenants (J. §.). 319 flights, and 77 ensigns out of 174 made 297 flights. The participa- tion of this unusually large number of officers on duty with the battle and scouting fleets In aerial flights, which in the normal performance of their duties is not required of them, indi- cates that a considerable number of naval officers have voluntarily under- taken to perfect themselves in avia- tion in anticipation of certain require- ments: which “have been proposed along this line. A flying Navy is visualized by both junior and senior naval officers in the new general order just recently signed by the Sec- retary of the Navy, which provides for flight training for the graduates of the Naval Academy. This order requires all graduates of the academy to take a course of training of 20 flight hours, either at the naval air station at Hampton Roads, Va., or at the naval alr station at San Diego, Calif. Flight schools will be estab- lished at these stations, and those graduates attached to the scouting fleet will receive their instruction at Hampton Roads, Va., while the grad- uates attached to the battle fleet will uv\d(;rgu instruction at San Diego, Calif.

Another suggestion which has been made and which is claimed will solve some of the {lls of the naval person- nel problem is the proposal to retire, as in the next higher grade, those officers who are transferred from the active list by reason of reaching age in grade. This would revive a for- mer practice of advancing officers upon their retirement.
