If this law is not extended prior to that date considerable confusion will result by the return of the “age-in- le” provision of the act of August , 1916, which provides that officers selected for promotion must retire on reaching certain ages. Under the latter act, officers who were not selected for promotion remained in their exist- ing grade until they reached certain ages, at which they became ineligible for selection and were automatically retired. These ages were: Captain, 56; commander, 50, and llieutenant com- mander, 45. According to a schedule that has been prepared showing the approximate dates of promotion of line officers c* the Navy under service ineligibility for promotion with 5,499 Regular officers, there will be pfomoted during 1931 6 officers to rear admiral, 12 to captain and 21 to commander. The schedule takesinto consideration the retirements that are known will occur this calendar yeary but not retirements that may occur upon application and other vacancies that may result from unforeseen sepa- rations from the active list.
