PYVV VY VYVVVVYVVEOVVYN more valuable, more attractive! Battalion, United States Naval Re- serves of the District of Columbia, will spend & large part of the day in Alexandria tomorrow in connection with the Bicentennial parade, and also because of the holiday, there will not be any drill of the organization to- morrow night. However, in view of the proximity of the annual inspection, which is to be held at the armory and aboard the_destroyer Hamilton on the night of February 29, the unit cannot afford to miss even one drill period, so orders have been issued for an assembly to be held Tuesday night. Plans have been completed for the battalion to proceed to Alexandria, , headed by Lieut. Harold E. Richardson, commander of the unit, it will participate in the parade. The organization will be taken to Alex- andria aboard a naval tug and will be returned immediately following the parade. The destroyer Hamilton, which has been at the Washington Navy Yard for the purpose of training Reserves, left here yesterday for Alexandria, and will remain there throughout tomorrow in full dress. On Tuesday the vessel will return to the Navy Yard, where she will remain until after the annual inspection of the local battalion. Drills and exercises of the organiza- tion will be held aboard the vessel before the regular naval board. The day following the inspection the vessel will proceed to Hampton Roads for the purpose of training Reserves in that area. Ensign _Gordon Reed, attached to the 1st Fleet Division, has tendered his resignation in the Naval Reserve. It was said that he is attending & | university here and has found it im- possible to carry out the naval work | while he is attending school. Lieut. Comdr. Clarence Gulbranson, U. S. N, commander of the destroyer Hamilton, gave a lecture last week be- fore the members of the Aviation Re- serve Division at the Naval Air Sta- tion at Anacostia. He spoke on naval traditions. Lieut. (Junior Grade) Roy C. Corberman, Communication Reserve, has been ordered to 15 days’ active duty at the Navy Departme begin- ning on March 1, in connection with a fleet problem. Rev. Paul A. Lineweaver of St.| Alban’s parish, has applied for a com- | mission in the Chaplains’ Corps of the United States Naval Reserve with the | rank of licutenant, junior grade. The local Naval Reserve battalion | has received an invitation from the George Washington Bicentennial Com- | mission of the District of Columbia to participate in_a parade to be held in this city on Flag day. Bernard Dorman, chief storekeeper in the 2nd Fleet Division, has re-enlisted | for four years, it was announced at the local Reserve headquarters. | In order to avoid difficulties with the General Accounting Office, the Navy Department has announced that in authorizing the transfer of men from the regular establishment to the fleet Naval Reserve upon completion of 16 or 20 years of service, it has given such men a month and 15 days over the | minimum amount of the required | service. It was pointed out that a large | number of those affected are unfamiliar with the reasons for holding men in the service longer than the required period in_order to_transfer them. The explanation given by the Navy Department is as follows: In one or to the fleet Naval Reserve, the General Accounting Office advised that he did not have the required service for trans- fer, due to time lost several years pre- viously and of which there was no record in the Bureau of Navigation. In one case, it was pointed out, a man was in a naval hospital as a result of sick misconduct. After he was returned to his ship for duty, in submitting his application for transfer to the fleet Naval Reserve, the commanding officer advised the Bureau of Navigation that the man had lost no time on his current enlistment. There was no record in the bureau of any lost time. Some time after the transfer had been effected, the General Accounting Office advised that the man had lost considerable time due to sick misconduct on his last enlistment. Investigation disclosed the fact that in returning the man to duty, the hospital had failed to notify the | ship that the man had lost any time. As a_result the transfer to the fleet Naval Reserve was declared illegal. Upon consideration of this incident, it was pointed out, it was finally de- cided to adopt the practice of holding men beyond the required time for trans- fer for a period of 1 month and 15 days, as it was believed that if there were any lost time which had not been de- ducted this period would, no doubt, be sufficient in the majority of cases to offset any lost time. In a few cases, it was further ex- plained, where a man has lost no time during his entire service the bureau has approved his application for trans- fer on completion of the minimum | amount of the required service. In other cases, where a man insists on being transferred immediately upon the completion of the minimum amount of the required service, the bureau { has no alternative but to approve the transfer, to be effective on the date requested, as the law provides that a man shall be transferred on the com- pletion of the necessary service if he 50 _requests. In the case in which the Bureau of Navigation has authorized the trans- fer of a man and given him the month and 15 days extra, and he requests that he be transferred immediately on completion of the minimum amount of the required service, the bureau has announced that it will change the effective date accordingly. While it is true that all transfers | are now protected by the act of May 23, 1930, in the case of 16-year men, it was added. the General Accounting Office will cut a man’s pay down 5 per cent if he has less than 16 years and 1 day's service, day for day, for pay purpose. For instance, it was pointed out, a chief petty officer, instead of receiving $73.50 per month, would re- ceive only $67.20, or an increase of BI-CENTENNIAL Paint Up--Visitors Are Coming!

NAt. 2477 two cases, after a man was transfered d instead of the usual 25 per cent. In the case of a man transferring to the fleet Naval Reserve after serv- ing 20 years, he, of course, would not be checked any pay, as he received the full 25 per cent iongevity increase as soon as he completed 16 years’ serv- ice. However, the Bureau of Naviga- tion announces that it prefers that these men remain for 1 month and 15 days extra to avold any eause for checkage. . ‘The regular Navy Inspection Board, which is making its annual tour of Naval Reserve organizations through- out the country, will spend three days of this week in Connecticut. On Tues- day it will visit Hartford, Wednesday, New Haven and Thursday, Bridgeport. The board which will make these inspections is to be composed of Capt. John Downes, president, and Capt. Alexander Sharp, jr. from the Navy Department_here, and Comdr. Stephen Doherty, attached to headquarters, 3d Naval District. The following special instructions have been issued by the Navy Depart- ment for the inspection of the local Naval Reserves on the night of Feb- ruary 29: “After the battalion has been pre- sented to the senior member of the Inspection Board and the rsonnel inspected by the board, division com- manders will be instructed to pro- ceed with the muster; each division must have an up-to-date typewritten list of all F-1 men attached, and a list of volunteer Naval Reservists present; divisions will be brought to shoulder arms and mustered by a petty officer from the above mentioned lists in a military manner; divisions will be given credit only for such men as are actually present in ranks and answer the muster.” ‘The Navy Department has announced that it continues to receive applications from enlis! personnel of the Reserve force for the navigation course. The policy, it is stated, is to approve these requests only when the immediate com- manding officer states that the ap- plicant is of officer material and is training for a commission. It was pointed out that the commanding of- ficer's statement that the applicant is of officer material implies that he has the basic education to undertake the study of navigation successfully. It was said, however, that fully half of those so recommended in the past have been found to be lacking in the bove requirement, indicating that the commanding officers’ investigation was | either intomplete or else based on a faulty idea as to the educational standard necessary. In general, it was said, enlisted men so recommended should be college graduates, and their studies should have included all mathematics up to and including spherical geometry and spher- ical trigonometry. In some cases, such as with rated quartermasters who have had active service, the above require- ments are too strict, but in few cases will it be found that a man with less than a college course. or else active experience with navigation afloat, is qualified to take the course. In the future, the department statement said further, enlisted applicants whose solu- tions indicate that they are lacking in | the basic_knowledge necessary for this course will be dropped from the course as soon as this becomes certain In order to avoid the necessity of such s‘ o DOWN. ..

A great number of these officers, it was said, will be due for physical exami. nation before next June, and, it is pointed out, those due for the tests should attempt to foresee the condi- tions that will prevail at the end of their time limit, and take the neces- sary steps to have themselves exam- ined before the end of the four years by appl the dant, espec! will be absen the time limit for examination expires.
