Harold Rich- ardson, executive officer of the bat- talion and acting commander. Special groups will be selected for intemsive training in their respective lines, so that all of the men will be at a high state of efficiency when the U. 8. De- stroyer Hamilton leaves the Navy Yard here on June 20 for the first of the | Voyages to the Bermuda Islands. Lieut. Richardson announced that in- stead of dividing the drill period of the bridge signal force, the entire period| now will be given over to signal train- ing, so that all of the men will be able to stand a watch on the bridge during the voyage.

C. H. Williams, will be the | first unit to go to Bermuda. In further preparation for the cruises, 8l of the enlisted personnel not previ- | ously immunized will be sent to the | battalion surgeon to receive typhoid and para-typhoid serums. ‘The Naval Reserve Examining Board | also is working overtime in order to | complete the examinations made neces- sary by the last cruise, so that those | who pass the tests may be permitted | to put on their sleeve devices before | they go to sea on the Hamilton. As a resuli of efficiency shown during each cruise enlisted personnel are recommend- | ed by their commanding officers for vromotion, but then the men have to| appear before the board to ascertain the extent of their book knowledge of their duties. Owing to the varied duties and rat in the Navy. the board has to cxam ine each man individually, which con- considerable time. in view of the fact that the organization meets only once a week, and then only for an hour and a half. The drill scheduled for the current month has just been issued by Lieut. Samuel W.

The cngincers will have their usual fire and engine room instruction, while the cficers will listen to a lecture by Lieut. B. J. Davton, U. 8.

He says that this | time should be kept in mind by the | communication men, as individual no- tices will not be sent out for each week's He adds that the Reservists rhould make special effort to attend thes meetings in order to become familia with certain features of naval procedure as soon as possible, and to get a help- ful background respecting naval com- munications, which will facilitate their ess. A Jocal radio drill conducted with naval eommunication Reservists owning licensed amateur transmitting stations and short wave receivers was held Sat- urday. Beginning last Thursday, and until further notice, the local radio drills conducted via the air, will be held ‘Thursday evenings beginning at 6:50 o'clock on a frequency of 3800 kilo- cycles. At about 7:55 p.m., Lieut. Briggs says, the control may be passed from W3CAB to another station to co; tinue the drills, while W3CAB adi to a frequency of 4045 kilocycles, used with the call NED to represent the trict of Coluinbia In the national drills, At the conclusion of the local drill the Reservists may find it convenlent to tune their receivers to listen on 40 kilocycles. Between 8 and 9 o'clock they will hear traffic and drills handled by the control stations of the communi- cation Reservists in the various districts. Beginning at the latter hour they will hear the roll call and drills conducted on & national scale by the master con- trol and alternate control stations of tie various naval districts of the United States and its poscessions. General NKF is the master control station for this drill. He says that local Reservists should eopy these drills, practicing as guard stations, so they will become familiar with the details come proficienit in their work they may be allowed to take turns in participat- ing in the drills by acting as operators at NED. ‘The standings of all fleet divicions firing modified short range battle prac- tice 1930 hava b2en published by the chief of naval tigns. ‘The Third Fleet Division, Twelfth Naval District located at San Francisco, Calif, at- tained the highest merit for the prac- tice, and is declared entitled to the award of the Naval Reserve Gunnery | trophy, now in the hands of the Sixth Fleet Division at Oakland, Calif. 1t has been ordered shipped to the command- ing officer of the Third Fleet Division, and to be suitably engraved, showing the name of the winner.

Pay being so intimately assoriated with promotion, there continues to be an impression among many members of Congress that the two forms of relief should be amalgamatcd. On the other hand, however, the belief is shared, mainly among service people, that the two subjects should be consid- ered separately. The principal proposal that is destined to please service people as achleving pay equality for the en- | tire service is the merging of base pay with allowances—the latter perma- nently and effectively separated from discriminations, the combination to be the basis of compensation on reiire- ment at 75 per cent of the merged items, instead of. as now, not more | than ‘the equivalent cf 50 per cent of | the active list incom:. Added to this, it is understood that there be an addi- tion made to all items of pay of the fixed sum of $50 per month in each | grade. The suggestion has also been made that the present inconsistencies of pay be removed in such a case as that which finds too little difference in the pay of a colonel and a brigadier gen- cral. This could be accomplished by | giving the brigadier general an increasc |a colonel. This would maintain the proper difference between the pay ol | a brigadier general and a major gen- n the pey of a colonel and a brigadier general. Under these circumstances, | the new schecule of service pay, ex- | pressed in Army terms, would be as follows: Major general, $10.478 per |annum (base pay, $38.000: rental allow- ance, $1,440; subsistence allowance, $438, and proposed, $600). Brigadier general, $9,478 per annum (base pay, $6,000; rental allowance |$1,440; subsistence allowance, $438; | roposed “increase, $600 and $1.000). Colonel, $6,478, with increase of 5 | per cent for each three years' service on base pay of $4000. Maximum pay after 30 years’ service, Lieutenant colonel, orease of 5 per cent for each three years' | service on base pay of $3500 and, after 30 years' service, on a base pay of $4.000, but with a deduction of $218 in subeistence allowance. Maximum pay after 30 years' service, $8,478. Major, $5,457, with increase of 5 per cent for each three years' service on $3,000 and, after 23 years' service, on | base pay of $3.500 and an increase of | $240 for rental allowance.

Navy. been made of the prospective orders for the abolishment of the naval en- gineering competitions in their present form, of which there has been consid- erable criticism throughout the naval service. It was intended that the abol- ishment of these engineering competi- , tions would become effective at the end {of the present competitive year, June 30. 1931, and in lieu thereof a more sim- | plified system was prepared in the Navy Department that would stimulate the engineering personnel in the mainte- nzince of machinery plants of ships on | of $1.000 & year more than the pay of | Armyand Navy News z::“em&l:ntr:!nd economical basis. Now orders have been suspended, | it 1s probable that engineering competi- tions among the various classes of naval vessels will be continued, under modi- | fied and simplified -regulations already | prepared, during the 1932 competitive | year, beginning July 1, 1931. | Although it is realized that these en- ginecring competitions have been ine strumental in keeping machinery plants afloat in efficient condition and have | resulted in economies in the expendi- | ture of fuel and other engineering sup- | plies, the belief is shared by many offi- cers that. during development of the system since it first was initiated, the regulations have become too complicat~d and that the keeping of records and preparation of reports have imposed too great a burden upon the engineering De;'n;:\nel e pressure for modifying the - ulations became so great gm:uwnm | put in effect last September s number of changes which simplified the r’ul tions for this competitive year, and the regulations that had been prepared for next year have been further modified toward simplification.
