I and Navy News I Navy. In spite of the announced policy in the Senate that confirmation of all ap- pointments of any importance made by President Hoover will be refused, it has e known that the President instends to make ncininations to fill all vacancies that may occur in im- portant positions up to the close of his administration on March 4, including the office of the chief of Naval opera- tions, which will be vacated on 1 by the retirement on that date for ?P.}‘nttthe incumbent, Admiral William Notwithstanding the fitness of Ca) Charles M. Oman for the position for wihch he has been nominated (to suc- ceed Rear Admiral Charles E. Riggs as surgeon general of the Navy) and the general approval of the selection by members of his own corps there does not appear, at present, to be any pros- pect that the appointment will be rati- fled during this Congress. In all prob- ability, the office of surgeon general of the Navy will remain vacant from the end of the term of Rear Admiral Riggs on January 19 until such time after March 4 as“the new Secretary of the Navy and the new President have op- portunity to make a selection and ap- pointment. In that interim, Capt. John B. Dennis (Marine Corps), assistant to the chief of the Bureau of Medicine ang Surgery, will serve as acting chief of that bureau. It is understood the Secretary of the Navy has submitted to the President the names of four officers whom he deems qualified for the position of chief of naval operations, in order that he may select one of them for the place. They include Admiral Richard H. Leigh, commander in chief of the United | States Fleet; Admiral Luke McNamee, commancer of the Battle Force; Vice Admiral David F. Sellers, canmander of the battleships of that force, and Vice Admiral William H. Standley, ;%rxnms.nde: of cruisers of the Scouting | ce. | Army. Interest is being manifested in serv- ice quarters relative to a proposal made last week which would require a con- tribution from the personnel of the military-naval services to provide & fund from which retirement pay would have to be paid. The fund would be produced by making a percentage de- duction from salaries of service per- sonnel who are eligible for retirement. All other employes of the Government now are required to contribute 3!2 per | cent of their salary toward the retire- ment fund from which their retirement is paid. Those favoring this proposal point out that it is the intention to require all personnel of the uniformed services to contribute to a fund in the same manner as is required for civilian employes of the Government, in order to finance their own retirement “there- | by relieving the government of that | burden.” The proposal would apply to | all officers, nurses, and enlisted men of the military-naval services. | The officer personnel of the military- naval services find that the recom- mendations which permit an increase of pay for length of service and on| promotion are a considerable improve- | ment over the present situatjon created | by the economy law of Juné 30, 1932, | notwithstanding the fact that the new | bill entails a further reduction of 1 2-3 per cent of their pay. Many commis- sioned officers, warrant officers, and nurses will benefit by such a recom- | mendation which provides that the prehibiticn against increase in pay for | 1 h of service or by reason of pro-| ! not be opcrative during the 1934 | c1 year. This would permit in-| of 5 per cent in pay for each| years of service, the right to a| Lohcr pay grade upon completing the £ Aed number of years' service, and ay of a higher pay grade to a higher rank. bzen manifested to the uce by 10 per cent the enlisted men of the mili- 1 ces, when such pay is f $1,000 per annum, $83.33 . Very few enlisted men of 1 on the active list would be #ffected by the proposed reduction of 10 per cent, as few of them receive pay amounting to $1,000 per annum, ex- clusive of subsistence and quarters al- | lowances. Horses and mules are doomed for the Army if the Appropriations Com- mittee’s recommendations are enacted into law. According to these recom- mendations, light trucks would be sub- stituted for animals and no appropri- ation would be available for the pur- chase of any additional animals. It has been recommended that all ap- propriations for the, Quartermaster’s Department for the " maintenance of animals or for the maintenance, pur- chase or operation of animal-drawn equipment may be used to purchase “‘completely assembled and equipped motar-propelled trucks,” providing that | § the cost of such trucks shall not ex- ceed $750.. This would enable the Army to purchase low-priced trucks to taks the place of horses and mules in all | activities. The Grace Darling Setbold Chapter, American Gold Star Mothers, met ‘Tuesday evening at headquarters in the Hamilton Hotel, the president, Mrs. Mary K. Killeen, in the chair.
