Sellers as commander | of the special service squadron., Ad- | miral Sellers, it is expected, will report | o the Navy Department tomorrow for duty as judge advocate general. It is the general understanding in the Navy that Admiral Henry A. Wiley, who has just relinquished command of the United States Fleet, will be placed upon the retired list upon his own applica- tion, after more than 40 years' service, this to become effective upon the expi- ration of his accrued leave of absence in September. Up to. this time, how- ever, no application from -him for re- tirement has been recedved by the Navy Department. A number of vacancies may occur in | some of the important naval billets | abroad during the Summer of 1930, due to the completion of the usual tour of shore duty of the present encumbents ‘The following naval attaches will have completed three years of shore duty at that time: Capt. Ralston S. Holmes, at Rome; Capt. Joseph V. Ogan, at Tokio; Capt. Ciarence L. Arnold, at Buenos Atres, and Capt. George M. Baum, at Berlin. The following officers, all com- manders, are occupying a similar status: Comdr. Russell Willson, naval mission in Brazil; Isaac C. Kidd, captain of the port at Cristobal, Canal Zone; Charles | S. McWhorter, commandant of the | naval station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Sherwoode A. Taffinder, captain of | the port of Balboa, Canal Zone. | Two new officers will come to Wash- | ington for duty in the Navy Depart- ment. Capt. ivan E. Bass, who has been in charge of the repairs division of the Bureau of Engineering, has been | assigned to duty as assistant to. the chief of that bureau, to become effective some time this month, while Comdr. James B. Glennon, who has just been relieved of the command of the U. S. 8. Maury, goes to duty in the Bureau of Ordnance, in charge of the mines divi- sion, as the relief of Lieut. Comdr. Adolf von F. Pickardt. Capt. Alfred G. Howe, who recently relinquished duty as head of the Naval Mission in Peru, will be assigned to duty in connection with the fitting out of the new light cruiser Pensacola, and he will command that ship when commis- sioned. Comdr. Leigh Noyes, who has just arrived in this country from duty as a member of the Brazilian Naval Mission, will assume command of De- stroyer Division 32 of the scouting fleet. Comdr. Maurice R. Plerce, who has boen on duty as executive officer of the naval air station at Lakehurst, N. J., will assume command of that station about June 11. Other officers who will come to Washington within the next few weeks for duty in the various bu- reaus of the Navy Department are: Capt. Victor A. Kimberley, recently in com- mand of the U. S. S. Maryland. has relieved Capt. Willlam W. Smyth as head of the special ordnance board. Lieut. Comdr. Mervyn S. Bennion, on duty as navigator of the Maryland, will ralieve Comdr. Clyde R. Robinson as cfficer in charge of the design division. During July Lieut. Comdr. Justin McC. Miller, now on duty as gunnery officer of the U. S. S. Cincinnati, will relieve Lieut. Comdr. Sherwood Picking from duty in the aviation ordnance division, while Lieut. Comdr. James C. Jones, jr., who has been on duty with the de- stroyer squadrons of the battle fleet, will relieve Lieut. Comdr. Charles B. C. Carey in the experiments division. Lieut. Comdr. Francis T. Spellman will come from the Colorado in September to the fire control division as the relief of Lieut. Comdr. Simon P. Fullinwinder. Lieut, Howard W. Bradbury has re- lieved Lieut. Comdr. Greene W. Dugger in the powder division, and Lieut. Jerauld, lately on duty on the Mary- land, has relieved Lieut. Comdr. J. L. Jenworth, jr, in the fire control division. Army. While there is no prospect that serv- ice legislation of any kind will be con- sidered during the present extra session of Congress, some consideration is nevertheless being given to the proposal authorizing an increase in the Army Medical Department personnel. This proposal follows closely the recom- mendations made for several years by Maj. Gen. Merritte W. Ireland, Surgeon General of the Army, which would give the Medical Department of the Regular | establishment a much-needed increase in strength in order that it might prop- erly discharge its functions in time of peace. It has not yet received the for- | mal or final approval of the Secretary ELECTRIC 7his REMIER now offers two electric cleaners for the price of one. We feature the PREMIER JUNIOR Cleaner and the PREMIER SPIC SP. The PREMIER JUNIOR weighs only 7 pounds and takes no more space than a broom. three of which would be selected from officers of ‘the medical corps not below the grade of colonel. Of the remaining two brigadier generals, one would be se- lected from the Dental Corps colonels to be chief of that service and one from the Veterinary Corps colonels to be chief of that service. Under this pro- posed increase the Medical Corps would consist of 1,820 officers in grades from colonel to first lieutenant, inclu- sive; the Dental Corps would have 560 officers in grades from colonel to first | lieutenant, inclusive, while ‘the Veterin- ary Corps would consist of 250 officers in grades from colonel to second lieu- tenant, inclusive. There has not been sufficient evi- dence, one way or' the other, to reveal the attitude of President Hoover toward | legislation which involves increase, im- mediate or ultimately. in the draft| upon public funds. There appears to be every prospect that the bill will} eventually be passed substantially as it was introduced. The only question that has been raised in any quarter has to do with the expense that may be in- curred, but this, too, is likely to be subordinated to the necessity of relief, which applies vitally to the entire mili- tary establishment. Six officers of the Veterinary Corps of the Regular Army are affected by the proposal that for purposes of promo- tion, longevity pay and retirement they be credited with all full-time service rendered by them as veterinarians in the Quartermaster Department, Cavalry or Field Artillery prior to June 3, 1916. They are Col. W. G. Turner, chief of the Veterinary service: Col. John A. McKinnon and Col. E. J. Cramer, Lieut. Col. James R. Shand, Maj. Sherman R. Ingram and Capt. George W. Brower. A number of changes will be made among the commissioned personnel on duty in the office of the chief of ord- nance: Col. Willlam H. Tschappat, who has Been on duty in the War De- partment crdnance office as chief of the technical staff, has been ordered to Manila as ordnance officer of the Phil- ippine department. His dutles in the ordnance office will be taken over by Col. Edwin D. Bricker. Charles M. Wesson will go from Aber- Lieut. Col. deen Proving Ground, Md., to duty as assistant military attache at London, relieving Lieut.. Col. Charles G. Mettler, who goes to the ordnance office as the relief of Lieut. Col. Townsend Whelen as executive officer of the manufactur- ing service, who will go to Springfield Armory for duty. Lieut. Col. Rolland W. Case, now at the Army War Col- lege, will shortly assume his new duties in the ordnance office, while Maj. Julian S. Hatcher and Capt. R. E. Hardy, now attached to 3d Corps Area headquarters, will go to duty with the technical staff | in_the ordnance office. The following officers of the Regu- lar Army will represent the War De- partment at the conference to be held | at Geneva, Switzerland, for the pur- pose of revising the Geneva convention of July 6, 1906, and the code for pris- oners of war: 'Maj.
