A study made by Rear Admiral R. H. Lelgh, chief of the Bureau of Navi- gatlon, indicates that meeting the need of officers for aviation duties in the avy has incurred a loss among line officers of the na- val establishment of approximately 4 or 4% per cent, while in the avia- tion service it averages between X and 9 per cent. This shortage in officers is but an- other of the strik- ing fllustrations which confirm the need of the pro- posed increase in the number of ap- pointments of midshipmen to the Naval Academy. There has been no increase In the to. tal number of line officers in the Navy since aviation became active, The afr force of the Navy has n 425 line officers for duty and by 1932 they plan to have 863 officers. After 1932 it is possible that the aviation branch of the Navy may need 1,000 officers, which would leave for the line only 4,400, Instead of 5400 officers, Should this condition be reached, it would mean that there would not be a sufficient number of line officers to man the ships, it was stated, The opinion was expressed by Admiral Leigh that before long it will be neces. sary to increase the number of line officers to meet the needs of aviation and surface craft, as a result of which an increase should be made in the number of appointments that each Senator and Representative has, from three to five, because the Naval Acad. emy 18 the only source of supply for line officers. The Navy Department is authorized to appoint 12 warrant offf. cers a year to commissioned rank in the Navy, but this source of supply | has not proved to be very productive, as during the past five years only 14 of these officers have entered the com- missioned ranks of the Navy, Kear Admiral Leigh, Proposals, it is expected, will asked In March for the eonstrontion, of three barracks bufldings to e erected at Marine Barracks at Quan. tico, the cost of which, it is estimated. will be about $850,000, and for which funds have been made available Plans and specifications for the bar. racks group are now nearing comple. tlon in the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and it is intended to start work on that group first and later to let contracts for the other items of the project. Authority will also be asked, it is understood, for additional im. provements at Quantico in order to provide accommodations for 4,500 en listed men and the corresponding number of officers and the officers at. tending the schools at that place. ,The following line officers of the Navy have been selected for post. graduate instruction in naval con- struction, beginning next Summer, | preparatory to transfer to the Con. struction Corps: Ensigns Francis X. Forest, James IL. Rodgers, George C. Weaver, Willlam W. Anderson, Ir. James M. Lane and Oscar Stiegier. For post-graduate instruction in civil engineering, commencing next Sum. mer, preparatory to transfer to the Civil Engineer Corps, the following line officers have been selected: En- signs John E. Faigle, Archibald B. Hunter and Wesley H. Randig. All selections for post-graduate instruc- tion, commencing next Summer, now have been made, except for the gen. eral line course at Annapolis, for which about 35 officers will be se. lected. 4 i Army. hands of the service but three weeks, grave fears are entertained in cer. tain quarters over three provislons— enforced separation, even with t doubtful cash consideration; examina. nation for promotion under the termy contemplated, and the arbitrary and final authority respecting classifica- tion. There are a number of officers on duty In Washington and vicinity S who feel that the board’s recom- mendations will not eliminate the pro- motion “hump” of more than 5,300 officers, for which it was primarily convened to evolve a solution. En- forced separation as a means of cor- recting the evils of the prevaliling sit- uation, or as an aid to promotion of officers who continue on the active list, has all the hazards and disad- vantages of selection, in or out, which some officers view with real apprehen- sion. There appears to be considera- ble objection to the method of selec- tion through the agency of a board of general officers, it being pointed out that the elimination powers conferred on this hoard are too drastic, from its decision there is no appeal, and not even the President or the Secre- tary of War would have the right to review or reverse it. There appears to be little faith in the entire or permanent inction of the World War “humj since no matter what arrangement is made by discharge or retirement of certain of- ficers now causing stagnation, there will be a succession of groups of greater or less dimensions to con- tinue as a block to advancement. Relative to prescribed of service to regulate percentage on base pay upon retirement, some eritica point out that there should not be such a distinction as 2!5 per cent for officers of more than 30 years' service and 21; per cent for those with between 20 and 30 years service, or the further difference which is made between officers com- missioned after reaching the age of 45 years and who receive 4 per cent of base pay for years of service and those officers commissioned before reaching that age and who receive but 21 per cent. Whatever is ulti- mately adopted as a percentage of pay for separation or retirement in the varying conditions anticipated, it is feit that there should be provided a minimum as a_ protection of indi- viduals, such as the limitation in any sliding scale of 50 per cent of the base pay. The new Army Manual of Courts- Martial, now In press, will become effective April 1. The first copies will be ready for distribution this month, but, in accordance with a previous practice, the first issues will be sent to the outiying areas and the last to regions close to Washington. The new manual is less than half the size of the one now in use, and, it is understood, the method of procedure is much shortened and simplified and will be more effective in its opera- tion. As far as pussible, mandatory provisions, except where specified by statute, are now eliminated as such and become matters for the discre- tion and good judgment of the court. A board of medical officers of the Regular Army will meet tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Room 1201, Temporary Bulld- ing No. 5, for the purpose of conduct- ing the annual physical examination jof officers of the Regular establish- ment on duty in Washington.
