Army and Navy News Navy. Rear Admiral Archibald L. Parsons, U. S. N, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy Department, has been a board of officers sppointed head of the Civil Engi- neer Corps that will be convenec st the Navy De- partment on Jan- uary 12 for thel purpose of recom- of that corps foi promotion to rank of captain. In ad- dition to Rear Ad- Cooke and_ Clinton D. Thurber, with Mr. Lloyd A. Morris, as recorder. The five officers of that corps eligible for con- sideration by the board, all command- ers, are: A A Baker, G. S. Bounell, R.'M. Warfield, N. M. Smith and R. Whitman. The Naval Line Selection Board, which was convened at the Navy De- partment last Monday morning for the purpose of recommending 6 officers for promotion to the grade of rear admiral, 18 for captain and 22 for commander, and to make additional selections for the grades of captain and commander to provide for vacancies that may be ecreated in those grades by the retire- wment, on June 30, 1931, of those ineli- gible for promotion by reason of “serv- lce in grade” or “age in grade,” is still engaged in their task. The directions issued by the Navy Department to se- lect for these vacancies injects a com- plication into the situation. On March 4 next “service in grade” retirement law will expire and recommendations have been made by the Navy Department to Con- gress that it be extended for a fur- ther period. If it is not extended. the rmanent “age in grade” retirement aw will become effective. There are five captains and eight commanders who, if not selected for promotion, will be placed on the retired list of the Navy on June 30, 1931, under the “service in grade” law if it is extended, and if that law is not extended there are nine captains and twelve command- ers who, if not selected for promotion, will retire for age in grade. As a result of this situation, there is considerable uncertainty as to the number of addi- tional selections the board should be called upon to make. The Secretary of the Navy has ap- proved the report of the board that met at the Navy Department for the purpose of designating line officers for “engineering duty only.” The four of- ficers designated by the board for this duty are: Comdr. Leo L. Lindley and Lieut. Comdrs. R. W. Paine, L. P. Smith and H. 8. Jeans. Rear Admiral Noble E. Irwin, U. 8. N., head of the naval mission in Brazil The the temporary | who probably will return to the United States early in February, is slated for | assignment to duty as commandant of the thirteenth naval district and navy |yard at Puget Sound, Wash, succeed- ing the late Rear Admiral Henry J. Ziegemeier. Capt. John W. Greenslade, U. S. N., | who has been on duty as aide to the Secretary of the Navy, has been relieved | of this duty and has become head of | the new division of “current plans” in | the Bureau of Naval Operations, Navy | Department. Other officers on duty in this new division are Capt. William R. Furlong Capt. Emory S. Land (Con- struction Corps) and Comdrs. H. M. Lammers and C. J. Moore. In the event pr plans are carried out, the American naval mission in Bra- zil, consisting of 16 members, will be discontinued, and most of the members | thereof will depart from Rio de Janeiro in January, arriving in the United States early in February. Three officers of the American mission, it is understood, may remain at Rio for duty with the Bra- zillan Naval War College, and one may | remain as naval attache, but nc an- nouncement yet has been made as to| their identity. The members of the mission, of which Rear Admiral Noble E. Irwin is chief, are as follows: Capts. | John M. Enochs, George C. Pegram and William A. Hall; Comdrs. Alexander M. Charlton, James L. Kauffman, Clifford E. Van Hook and Monroe Kelly; Lieut. Comdrs William H. P. Blandy, Hugh St. C. Sease, Charles A. Lockwood, jr., and Carl F. Holden; Capt. Edgar L. Woods (Medical Corps), Capt. Lewis W. Jennings (Signal Corps), and Comdr. Lew M. Atkins and Lieut. Comdr. Ed- mund E. Brady, jr., both Construction Corps officers. Army. A board of Army medical officers has been appointed to meet in room 1201, Temporary Building No. 5, B street between Twentieth and Twenty-first | streets, this city, January 5, for the purpose of conducting the annual physical examination of officers of the Regular Army on duty in Washington. Col Charles F. Craig, Medical Corps, | who is president of the board, will have | serving on the board with him the fol- | lowing medical officers, all of whom are majors; Charles M. O'Connor, jr.; John H. Sturgeon, Charles R. Lanahan, John G. Krauer, Ralph Duffy, Charles R. Mueller, Howard M. Williamson, George E. Lindow, Harold W. Kinder- man and Elgen C. Pratt. The Dental Corps representative on the board will be Maj. James B. Mann, while the Medical Administrative Corps will be represented by Capt. Benjamin B. Lus- comb. A court of inquiry for the 3d Corps | Area, composed of six officers of the Regular Army, has been appointed to meet at Baltimore, Md., for the purpose of considering cases arising in connec- tion with the classification of officers of this corps area under the provisions of section 24B of the act of June 4, 1920. The Court of Inquiry will consist of the following officers: Cols. Frank B. Wat- son, Infantry; John D. Long, Cavalry: Fred R. Brown, Infantry: Alvin K. B: kette, Quartermaster Corps; George T. THE SUNDAY STAR, Bowman, Caval; Llewellyn, J. A. G ine officers of the Regular Army Lave been designated as members of the War Department Technical Com- mittee, which will meet at the War De- partment. ‘The committee is composed of the following officers: Lieut. Col. Charles M. Wesson, O. D., chairman; Lieut. Col. Ralph Talbot, jr., G. S. C.; Lieut. Col. Charles R. Alley, C. W. 8.; Maj. William B. Hardigg, O. D.; Maj. Hugh Mitchell, S. C.; Capt. Herbert W.

Ben H. Fuller, having been approved by the| Secretary of the Navy, has been sub- mitted to Congress. In keeping with the policy of the administration the| corps will eventually be lessened in the enlisted strength by approximately 800 men. The question of retaining profi- cient officers is a serious one, especially in the aviation department of the corps, since civil life offers far more advan- tages for the commissioned officer than the service under present conditions. Maj. Gen. Fuller advocates adequate pay as the remedy. Second Lieut. Robert C. Orrison, here- tofore attached to the marine barracks of the local navy yard, was detached during the past week and ordered to his home, being retired as of March 1, 1930.
