With re- spect to several of the places, a great deal depends upon whether or not Admiral Henry A. Wiley will rmain for one or two years as com- mander-in-chief of the United S'ates fleet. It appears to be the general service opinion that Admiral Wiley will remain _in com- mand of the fleet for two years-—that 15, until the Au-ygmicar w. A, Wite tumn of 1929—in which case it is ex- pected that Viece Admiral William V. Pratt will succeed Admiral Louis R. de Steiguer as commander of the battle fleet and that Rear Admiral Louis McC. Nulton would succeed Admiral Pratt as commander of the battleship di- visions of that fleet. The place vacated by the retirement on February 15 of Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett as commandant of the 3d Naval District and New York Navy Yard, who was separated from the active list of the Navy on account of reaching the statutory retirement age limit, it is understood, was to be given to Admiral de Steiguer, but speculation is now rife that that officer is being considered by the Navy Department for assignment as superintendent of the Naval Academy as the successor of Rear Admiral Nulton. Rear Admiral Jehu V. Chase. who is now in command of Batt'eship Division 4 of ine battle fleet, is being considered for assignment to command of the srouting floot s *he relief of Viee Admiral Ash- ey H. Robertson For the purpose of eliminating from the active list of the Navy the of the Staff Corps who have not been selected for promotion to the rank of commander or captain, a proposal has been made by Secretary Wilbur which would authorize the separation of this group of officers from the naval estab- lishment. Selection for advancement to the ranks of rear admiral, captain and commander was first extended to officers of the Staff Corps by the act of July 1, 1918, but at the present time he act of June 10, 1922, governs the election of Navy Staff Corps officers to the ranks of rear admiral, captain and commander. Existing law provides that these officers must remain on the active list of the Navy until they are retired at the age of 64 years, ul they are sooner retired for physical disability, upon their own application after 30 years' service, or resign. Secretary Wil- bur’s proposal would eliminate this providing (a) that officers of the Staff Corps of the Navy of the rank of com- mander and licutcnant commander who are passed over by selection boards more than once shall become ineligibl for further promotion: (b) that Stafl Corps officers who have become inelig ble for advancement to the rank of commander or captain upon the com- pletion of 21 years and 28 vears of com- missioned ~ service, respectively. .with these periods shortened by three years for those officers who entered the naval service in a rank above that of ensig shall be retired: and (c) that the r tired pay of such ufficers so retired shall b2 computed as at present for officers of the line similarly retired for non lection: that is. 2% per cent per of service credited for pay. Those cers who are retired after less than 21 or 28 years of commissioned service shall be credited with not less than 21 or 28 vears of such service, respectively In the event that this proposal be- | comes law, forced retirement would af- fect 42 officers as follows: Medical Corps, 17 commanders and 12 lisutena commanders: Supply Corps, 5 com- manders and 8 lientenant commande There would b no elimination am p > The Hovse W ¥ Courtesy It is also said that | 52 officers | hili 606 -614 officers in the Civil Engineer Corps, | | Construction Corps, Dental Corps and | Chaplain Corps. Approximately $20,000 would be saved per year by the enact- ment of this proposal. In addition to those previously an- | nounced in this column, the following | officers of the Navy have been selected | for aviation instruction, commencing on the dates indicated: March 2, Capt. A.
