Ters WINANS WA’ 7 THE SUNDAY STAR, officer or man desiring this trainiag duty should so inform the commandant B ke nckonted - mewvi h * lcaf previous paragrapl hereof, it is not practicable to au- porting for this duty. However, it is ticable to furnish those enlisted Reservists reporting for this duty with | o_the subsistence in kind while on board. “As the ship will be on exhibition during these celebrations, all volunteers for the training duty must assure the commandant that they are a itely equipped with uniform clothing in order that, no unfavorable impression may be created.” Delegates from the local battalion to the annual conventicn of the United States Naval Reserve Officers’ Associa- tion here last week sought to obtain a change in policy in the weight given to turnover in personnel in the annual marking of the Reserve organizations throughout the country. The weight " | now allowed, it was said, is 15 in a total marking of 100. It is the contention of the officers of the local chapter of the association that this should be cut down, and in. creased weight allowed for other ma ings, such as cruising, mobilization strength efficiency and average drill at- tendance at the weekly meetings. ‘The resolution was thoroughly dis- cussed at a meeting of the local chap- | year: ter. The proposal was originally made by Lieut. Stinemetz, but was formally presented to the chapter by Lieut. John F. Moore, division commander. It is the opinion of the local officers that the figure of 15 is much too high and does not reflect the relative effi- ciency of the organization in its readi- ness to go aboard ships of the Navy for active duty in time of emergency. It is contended that a lowering of this marking with a transfer of the deduc- tions to other subjects will give a much better idea of the relative efficiency of the units throughout the country. The local chapter, through Lieut., (Junior Grade) Gordon W. Daisley, di- rector and delegate to the convention, also presented to the convention a pro- posal for an increase in the number of men in the higher pay ratings, such as chiefs and first class petty officers. It is_the contention of the foe-l Reserve officers that there are not sufficient men allowed each division in these high rat- ings now to effectively and efficiently carry out the instruction program. It was pointed out that owing to the pe- culiar location of the local battalion in the Capital City the higher ratings are largely filled up with yeomen, the clerical | branch of the Navy, with the result that with these positions filled no promo- tions can be made of the technical men. Such men, it is contended, are needed as much, if not more, in a reserve or- tion then in the regular service, ut there is no way of weeding out th clerks so that the others may be pro- ‘moted. ‘The only answer to the matter, as the local officers see it, is provision for in- erease in the number of men allowed in these h'gher ratings. Another problem : is that there are many men in the lower ratings now fully qualified for promo- tion to first cless and chief petty officers, but the boosts in grade have to be nied them because of the fact that the allotment limits have been filled. This is declared to have a certain effect on the morale of the organization, as the men realize that no matter how hard they work or how efficiently they per- form their duties there is no'reward was | ahead of them in the way of promotion bus! overlooking PERKINS, Cen- TTY WATER, ALL Fefined. melenborhood, close 1o Churth and ined nelshbo:hood: 8 | "Clirendon 500, o see 8.

The matter was presented to the association last year, it was said, with a h.gher in- crease proposed, but it was never brought out the committee on reso- lutions. ‘Wilbur E. McPherson, 515 Eleventh street southeast, enlisted in the local battalion during the week, as a fireman, third class, and was assigned to the 1st Fleet Division. ‘The local battalion headquarters an- nounced the appointment of Lieut. Comdr. Tunis A. M. Craven, to the com- municiation branch of the Volunteer Re- | Th! serve, The Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department ar.nounced that it has re- |2 cently come to its attention that cer- tain rumors, based on the reccnt econ- omy program and lacking any founda- tion, are being given more or less cre- dence by some members of the Reserve. These, the bureau continues, cause dis- satisfaction and unrest among the Nayal Reserve. Specifically, the rumors are to the effect that pay to members of the Fleet Reserve for the performance of drills is to be discontinued and 21l Naval Reserve officers performing active duty in connection with the instruction, training and drilling of the Naval Re- serve are to be removed from this duty. These rumors are without foundation in fact, the bureau says, and it is no more able io account for them than a captain can account for scuttlebutt ru- mors aboard his ship. The Navy Department has been called upon to bear its share in the curtail- ment of expenditures below actual aps propriations for the current fiscal year in the general economy program. In apportioning the amount to be saved between the regular establishment and the Naval Reserve, the regular establish- ment is required to turn back approxi- mately 10 per cent of its appropriation, hile the Naval Reserve is required to n back oniy 5 per cent. In effecting these economies a new and, it is be- lieved, better system has been estab- lished for cruising Reservists on the At- lantic Coast. Certain Naval Reserve ves- sels have been or are to be decommis- sioned and certain Naval Reserve officers are to be relcased from permanent ac- tive duty. The selection of vessels to be decommissioned and of officers to be released has been made with the great- est care with a view to disturbing ex- isting activities as little as possible, Certain of the Reserve officers released from duty 2 to be replaced by regu- | lar naval officc a greater number of whom are nox available for this duty Also it 15 necessary to discontinue periods of equivalent instruction or duty for fieet organizations for the balance of the P-’bom'll fiscal year. # ‘above curtailments, the bureau reports. represent limit contem- plated in order to effect the desired re- sults. While the Congress has not yet made the appropriation for the coming fiscal year, there is no reason to believe the appropriation bill will be less than for previous fiscal years, less the amount, required for vessels already d for decommissioning and the quent decr:ase in officers and men on bermanent duty.
