Army and Navy News Navy. With the approach cf the convening of the Navy line selection board that will meet at the Navy Department early in December interest is being manifested in various factors such as officers who | have been passed over by a previous board and the estimated number of offi- cers who will be retired in the next five years. The last officer selected for pro- motion to rear admiral by the last se- lection board was Capt. John W. Green- slade, and there will be 17 cfficers in that rank eligible for consideration by the board in December, and Capt. Charles E. Courtney (additional num- ber), who have not been passed over by a previous board. The 17 captains are: Charle: Nelson, Adolphus E. Watson, Harry L. Brincer, Edgar B. Larimer, Frank L. Pinney, Frederick J. Horne, Alfred W. Jchnson, Raiph E. Pipe, Charles P. Snyder, Joseph R. Defrees, John J. Hyland, SEamuel W. Bryant, Ed- ward S. Jackson, Henry L. Wyman, Ju- lius F. Hellweg, 8inclair Gannon and Robert Moris. In the grade of commander selected for promotion to captain, the last officer selected was Comdr. C. F. Russell, and there will be 42 cfficers in that grade eligible for consideration by the 1931 board, who have not been previously passed over. In the grade of lieutenant commander the last officer selected for promotion to commander was Lieut. Comdr. C. H. McMorris and there will be 81 officers in that grade eligible for con- sideration by the 1931 board, who were not previously passed over.
