The State Department has lost more men from the foreign service in the present fiscal year than in any of the last seven years. Assistant Secretary of State Carr, in requesting additional funds for trans- portation expenses resulting from the unusual number of resignations from the service, told the House appropria- tions committee at hearings on the sec- ond deficiency bill that classified of- ficers in the foreign service had a “rocky road” to travel. “There have been 30 separations of foreign service officers,” Mr. Carr said, “classified officers, in 1928 and 1929, a larger number than was separated from the service in any of the last, I should say. seven or eight years.' “What caused that?” Chairman Wood of the committee, asked. “Dissatisfaction, and in some cases illness, perhaps in many cases disap- pointment, because the service was too burdensome upon the officers, or their incomes had proved inadequate to sup- port themselves and their families.” Chairman Wood suggested that some persons might enter the service to visit countries at the expense of the Govern- ment. “That might be true of clerks,” Mr. Carr said. “It would not b2 true of consuls and secretaries because the road is too rocky. They would not want to travel it. The classified officers, who include all consuls and secretaries, have to take an examination, a very rigorous examination, and make preparation for it. I think for men going into the foreign service it represents a very con- siderable investment. They have to prepare for examination at considerable cost and then have to undergo the ex- amination. The process is a rather long one, at least a year, just to get ready to enter the service. Consequently, there is no danger of any of the classified officers going through that in- convenient and costly procedure in order to get a free trip abroad.” MOFFETT REVIEWS NAVAL AIR PROGRESS Address Made by Rear Admiral Before Meeting of Kenneth Nash Post of American Legion. Banking Service That Has Personality You'lt find nothing perfunc- tory in.our way of handling your banking items. We put per- sonality as well as efficiency in “Franklin” service. How may we serve you? Franklin National Bank Penna, Ave. at 10th St. N.W. 1111 Connecticut Avenue Eight years of progress in naval avia- tion was reviewed Wednesday night by Rear Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, chief of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, in an address before 150 members and :llesf.s of the Kenneth H. Nash Post, American Legion, meeting at the Ham- ilton Hotel to dedicate the post flag. Five reels of motion pictures, treating with all phases of naval aeronautics, were exhibited in connection with the address. The speaker took the occa- sion to deny published reports that the Navy's two new airplane carriers might be withdrawn from service, due to ex- cessive cost of operation. ‘Admiral Mof- fett pointed out that the carriers are maintained at an expense but slightly ln exm to that of battleships. 1 by the ndmlrul in which he u every veteran of the World ‘War m join the American Legion, was seconded by Comdr. Harlan Wood of the District of Columbia Department, who gave a report to the meeting on the membership drive recently launched by the posts comprising the District De- partment.

An appeal to Congress for funds fo repair the disintegrating white .and gold dome of the chapel that fowers above its neighboring buildings at the Naval Academy at Annapolis has been made by the Navy Department. Falling terra cotta has interfered with the worship of midshipmen at re- liglous services in the chapel, which also serves as the mausoleum for the body of John Paul Jones, America's first great naval hero. Rear Admiral L. E. Gregory, chief of | STAR, Repairs to Dome of Chapel at Annapolis Asked of Congress by Navy Department WASHINGTON, D. (5 the Bureau of Yards and Docks, told the House appropriations subcommittee for the second deficiency bill, that the com- mandant of the Academy had closed the building last September because of the leaking dome that had loosened the | terra cotta until pieces fell in the chapel pews. He testified that, though tem- porary repairs had been made, the chapel would not be used until the dome was repaired properly. Admiral Gregory recommended that funds be | furnished for a new dome covering and for the placing of more substantial ma- terial in the interior.
