There are nine colonels of the Finance Department who are eligible for selection as chief of that department, in the event that Gen. Carmichael is g_l.l:c!d on the retired list next April. ey are Cols. Robert S. Offiey, Fred- erick W. Coleman, Edwin A. Hickman, Edward A. Sturges, Theodore Schults, William McK. Lambdin, Lewis §. Morey, Tilman Campbell and Edward D. Pow- ers. Reorganization has been made of the office of the surgeon general of the Army in Washington. The former den- tal division, veterinary division, nursing division, vital statistics division and library division have been discontinued as separate divisions and their activities, duties and records have been merged with a greatly enlarged “professional service division,” under the direction of Col. W. P. Chamberlain, M. C. This change was made for the purpose of as- sembling all the professional activities under one head, leading to greater com- pactness and concentration for adminis- trative purposes. Under the profes- sional service division wiil be grouped, as subdivisions, the curator of the Army Medical Museum and the dental, hos- pital, library, nursing, preventive medi- cine, statistics and veterinary activities. Other divisions of the surgeon general's office are supply, military personnel and planning and training. Navy. Five captains are on the list of offi- cers eligible for consideration by the selection board that will be convened at the Navy Department on December 7 who were appointed to the Naval Academy in 1893, and who will have 35 years' commissioned service on June 30, 1932, and if not selected by the board will be retired. These officers arc Gate- wood 8. Lincoln, Charles M. Tozer, Thomas A. Kearney, William L. Little- fleld and Amon Bronson, jr. There will be no officers in the grade of com- mander retired in 1922 on account of service in grade and fa'lure of selection, since no officers in that rank who are eligible for consideration by the selec- tion board will have completed 28 years commissioned service on June 30, 1932. Instructions will be issued to the board providing that if any of the captains who will complete 35 years’ commis- sioned service on June 30 next, are not selected the number of commanders to be selected will be increased by the num- ber of such captains not selected and who will be retired and, therefore, the number of commanders to be selected may be possibly 27 instead of 22. The indications are that the selection board to consider the eligibility of lieu- tenant commanders for promotion to the rank of commander will not be convened until next Spring, possibly late in April or early in May. This raises a ques- tion of the officers of the 1911 Naval Academy class, who are now on duty with vessels of the Asiatic fleet as lieu- tenant commanders and are not se- lected, as to whether they can be re- turned to the United States for the pur- pose of retirement on June 30 of next year. The selection law requires all officers retired under its provisions “to be retired on June 30" of the year in which they fall of selection and it is a serious question as to whether the offi- cers in the grade of lleutenant com- mander on the Asiatic station will be returned to the United States before that date when the report of a selection board convened in Agnl or May makes its announcements of the officers who are selected for advancement, and, con- sequently advises the service as to the officers of that particular class who must be retired on June 30, 1932. The ques- tion will no doubt be worked out by the Navy Department before the selection board for the lieutenant commanders is selected. As the result of the retirement on November 1 of Capt. Merlyn G. Cook and Lieuts. Alva Henderson, Alfred Doucet, John P. Bowling, Frank A. Brandecker, Harry Redfern, William R. Dolan, Patrick Hill, Lloyd D. Sheck, Oliver H. Briggs and William L.

Strobel, The naval economy ax was suspended over the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the District of Co- lumbia, last week, ready to fall on April 1 next, when the so-called Headquarters Fleet Division will be abolished, leaving three line fleet di- isions. Notice of the impending cut was received in a circular letter from the Navy Department. The reduction in Reserve personnel, of course, will be felt by other .Naval Reserve bat- talions throughout the country which have headquarters fleet divisions. ‘The proposed cut will provide for & reduction of one officer and seven en- listed men in the local battalion. ‘While the Headquarters Division, com- manded by the executive officer of the battalion, has 10 men, a recent order of the department increased each of the divisions by one man, giving an allotment of 56 men to each. | While the reduction ordered by the Navy Department, it was said, is a 4 per cent cut in personnel, possibly it will save more than that percentage in money. It was pointed out that the members of the headquarters divisions are in what are known in the Navy as the upper pay grades—that is, men with the highest enlisted ratings and of longest service. On the other hand, it may cut only the 4 per cent. As the organization has until April 1 to make the cut, it was said that vacan- cles which occur in the other fleet di- visions will not be filled and then the men in the upper grades will be sent to_the other divisions. Lieut. Harold E. Richardson, com- mander of the battalion, said that he had not had time to digest the in- structions from the Navy Department, and, until he did, he could not say just how the changes would be ef- fected. ‘The elimination of the one officer probably also will be taken care of by not filling any vacancy which might_occur by April 1, but if none of the officers voluntarily leaves or seeks transfer to the Volunteer Naval Re- serve it will be necessary to make a selection. The present executive officer of the battalion is commander of the Head- quarters Division, but with the elimi- provision will have to be made for carrying out the duties of this most important post. It was indicated as probable that the battalion commander will find it necessary to saddle the du- ties of executive officer on one of the division commanders, in addition to his _duty of running one of the line outfits. ‘The reduction in the number of di- visions will not make any difference in the number of cruises provided by the local Reserve, as only each of the line divisions has been ed a vessel for voyages during the Summer train- ing season. The members of the headquarters divisions have been di- vided up among the other divisions for cruise purposes. “In the exercise of imposed economy,” ays the letter from the Navy Depart- ment, “the Secretary of Navy directs that the headquarters divisions of Naval Reserve battallons and squad- | rons be abolished on April 1, 1932. Appropriate changes will be made in reference paragraphs of the Naval Re- serve regulations in due course. “Beginning immediately, no further enlistments or transfers to headquar- ters divisions will be made. As fast as vacancies occur in the authorized class F-1 quotas of fleet divisions at- tached to battalions and aviation di- visions attached to squadrons these vacancies shall be filled first of all by the transfer of class F-1 men attached to headquarters divisions. Similarly, vacancies in the officer quotas of fleet and aviation divisions will be filled by the transfer of officers from head- quarters divisions. G.|dresses.

Naval Reserve On March 31, 1932, officers of classes MC-F and SC-F will be trans- ferred from Headquarters Divisions and assigned to the various Fleet and Avia- tion divisions of battalions and squad- rons, the quotas of which will be in- creased so a8 to include these officers. On the same date the quotas of all Fleet divisions will be increased from a total of 55 men to a total of 56 men. Such F-1 men as remain in the Head- 3\1!1"&!'! Divisions of battalions on that ate may then be transferred to the various Fleet divisions provided vacan- cies exist within the new quota of 56 F-1 men. All other members of the Headquarters Divisions of battalions will be transferred to the Volunteer Naval Reserve. The transfers of the enlisted men will be made directly by the various District commandants. The transfers of the officers should be recommended by the commandants to the bureau. In the case of aviation divisions it is contemplated increasing the quotas of F-1 men as of July 1 from 8 to 12. All officers and men of the Fleet Reserve attached to headquarters divisions may be transferred to aviation divisions and carried as in excess of authorized quotas until July 1, 1932 Poin out that there is a need for serious effort and preparation on the part of instructors to present instruc- tion to Naval Reservists in such & man- ner as to make it interesting and easily Erup‘d, the Naval Reserve Inspection oard reported that improvement in class-room instruction methods has been shown by many divisions. Many others, however, it added, have failed to show improvement in this most im- portant activity. Greater use of the slide films, furnished the various units, was evidenced during the past year, but it was said that still greater use could be made of this valuable method of instruction. In many places, it was pointed out, there has been an improvement in in- struction methods through the use of models and machinery, such as pumps, blowers, feed-water heaters and oil- burning equipment from decommis- sioned destroyers. However, there is room for improvement in this respect in many of the Naval Reserve organiza- ons. In the instruction of signal men, for example, the board recommended the use of a small set of model painted on tin or cardboard, greatly facilitate this instruction, as it is possi- ble with these small flags to make mm"g more signal hoists than is possible wi the cloth flags supplied for use in the armories. It was said that a few divisions have built small ship models or & large blackboard, on which has been installed the lights usually found on board a ship, these lights controlled by various switches and a pulsating button. Th: method of instructing men in the mean. ings and uses of running lights and night-time signals is excellent, and should be adopted by other units where facilities are available. The board commented that the indi- viduals must first be trained before th~y can be drilled collectively into an ¢~ cient crew. It should be the aim of each division officer to ide for tae early fundamental trai of each in- dividual of his command along the lines of his rating. The firemen upon enter- ing, the board said, should pursue a definite course in practical work at the bench, using the ordinary hand tools of the trade. Likewise the seamen, second class, should be given as much and as varied practl work as is possible. In some instances, it was said, the divisions or battalions have been able to secure and install lathes, drill presses and other useful machine tools. It is considered that instruction on such tools, together with machine bench work, is highly beneficial in fitting the men of the engineers’ force to be use. ful men aboard ship and to quality them Tor the guties of their ratings. Some few di the board found, efficiency of thelr class room instruc- tlon, due to their enthusiasm in acquir- ing a large number of men on a ve unteer status who attend darifls regu- larly. The division is limited by regu- lation to 50 V-1 men. It may readily be seen, the board says, that a division with such a large additional number of men to receive class instruction will naturally have large classes unless this same division has also a corres) number of officers on a volunteer status capable of conducting class instruction and who also attend drilis regularly. The local Reserve unit has taken steps to meet the recommendations of the board. Signal flags have been pro- vided, with & mast for hoisting. A replica of a destroyer bridge has been built and a fire control system has installed from the bridge to the train- ing gun installed in the armory. Some remodeling work is being done on the second floor of the armory. This space was formerly two large rooms.
