/ MARINE REDUCTION WILL BE GRADUAL Gen. Myers Declares Cut to|S. | 16,500 Will Require No Drastic Action. The strength of the Marine Corps | ‘will be reduced to 16,500, without !h’ need of drastic action, Brig. Gen. John | ‘T. Myers, assistant to the commandant, said today, through the natural proc- ess of attrition. The general pointed out that reports show the organization is being reduced generally from the freviou.u strength, so that at present it s about 17,500. This is in line with the President’s economy program. Gen. Myers asserted that the Marine Corps is now taking mno first enlist- ments and only men who have had previous service are being considered. A more liberal policy with reference to men seeking dischirges because of dependency is likewise being pursued, in order to bring the reduction of 1,000 mbout. One proposal put forward recently was that of transferring a large num- ber of Marines to the Reserve force, but this was found impracticable be- cause of the large number of clerks that would be needed to accomplish this. Gen. Myers expects the “attri- tion” process to bring the strength to 16,500 within a few months. Although Maj. Gen. Smedley D.: But- ler, in an address a few weeks ago, in- dicated that the Marine Corps would be abolished, high-ranking naval offi- cials at the Navy Department scouted this idea. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Ernest Lee Jahncke, ex- plained that this arm of the Navy is necessary as a mobile force and in work of the State Department. He insists that the department has no intention of abolishing the Marine Corps. | NAVY ORDERS l Orders issued to officers under date of June 24: Rear Admiral Montgomery M.
