Navy. | ‘The detachment last week of Rear | Admiral Luke McNamee as director of fleet training at the Navy Department came at a critical time, as it was nec- essary to remove him from membership on the Interdepartmental Pay Promo- | |tion Board. He will be succeeded in | both ~assignments by Rear Admiral | Frank H. Clark, who 8 now a member of the Navy General Board. He left | Washington for his new duty assign- | ment as commander of Battleship Divi- sion 4 of the Battle Fleet last week. | As much of the promotion study is| practically finished by the board, Ad- | miral McNamee will sign the report., which will accomggny the joint promo- | tion bill on its Why to Congress. | | The members of the board have| reached unanimous agreement, it is| understood, as to the wording of the | proposed promotion bill, which will give | equal opportunity to the personnel of the six services for promotion to higher | ranks. This is an achievement which many persons cognjzant of the involved | situation believed was impossible. This | |indicates that the board members are | determined to leave no stone unturned | in their efforts to correct the pay pro- | | motion situation of the several services, | and by reaching such an agreement the | pay promotion board will have trans- | ferred the responsibility for action in the matter to Congress.

Ireland will not be retained as surgeon general, in which event a vacancy at the head of the department will not occur until that officer reaches the age requiring statutory retirement, in May of 1931, The retention of Ggn. Ireland as surgeon general would Zhe that officer opportunity to complete several proj- ects initiated by him, some of them contemplated in pending legislation An uncommon number of names of officers of the Medical Corps have already been associated with the ap- pointment, the list of colonels includ- ing approximately 75 names. And it is only fair to add that the list of 44 licutenant colonels contains several of- ficers who might very well be included in a recital of eligibility.
