Navy. It is problematical when any of the 28 naval commanders, just se- | lected for captain, will begin to ad- | vance, but, according to present esti- mates, based only on known separa- tions from the active list, none of this group of officers will receive their promotions possibly before June 30, { 1936. Of the commanders selected in December, 1932, Thaddeus A | Thomson, remains to make his num- ber on February 1, 1935. This leaves all of the 28 commanders selected in 1933 to be promoted before any of | those selected this year will be ad- | vanced. | The recommendations of the Selec- | captains and 27 commanders will go to the retired list on June 30. It is expected the Selection Board will be directed to recommend at least 61 lieutenant commanders for promotion. Of the lieutenant commanders se- lected last February the last to make his number was Edward W. Burrough on December 12, and all the remain- ing 26, plus the senior 17 of the lieutenant commanders to be selected go up by July 1. ‘l | Woodmen of the World I | | Old Glory Camp will install officers Tuesday evening.

FFICERS and enlisted per- sonnel of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserve of the District of Columbia are looking forward to the scheduled arrival here Tuesday of the U. S. Destroyer Leary, on which the various divisions will hold their ‘weekly drills for a couple of months. | The ship, which is commanded by Lieut. Comdr. Vaughn Bailey, will tie up at a dock at the Washington Navy Yard. The 2nd Fleet Division will have the honor of inaugurating the drills aboard the Leary, as Tuesday night is the organization’s#drill night. The 1st Fleet Division will not have an opportunity of drilling aboard the vessel until the following Monday. As soon as the members of the 2nd Division board the ship a few minutes past 8 o'clock, they will be given an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the vessel, including the loca- tion of all boats, rafts, fire plugs and other equipment utilized in emer- gency drills. Upon completion of this the drilling will begin with a series of emergency calls to ascertain how well the personnel has familiarized | itself with the vessel. The evening’s drill will close with battle problem. This feature will be stressed during the stay of the Leary here, as it is one of the high points in the annual inspection by the inspection of the local battalion will come only a short time after the de- parture of the Leary for Baltimore, where she will remain for several weeks to give the members of the Monumental City divisions an oppor- tunity to do some training. Full advantage will be taken of the stay of the Leary here, as every drill night of each of the three divisions will be used aboard the ship. It is expected that by the time the annual inspection is made that the personnel will be 50 well trained that they will be able to pass the inspection with a higher mark than ever. The prac- tical instruction aboard the ship will permit the men to answer questions of the Inspection Board with more perfection. The petty officers of the unit are put through a brief written examination by the board each year, and the training aboard the destroyer is expected to assist materiallly in pre- ing event which has been tentatively scheduled for April 1. Although the local militia officials are striving to get funds with which to erect an armory in Anacostia Park Jjust north of the eastern terminus of East Capitol street, it was learned this week that they do not plan to give up the armory at Water and O streets southwest, now used by the 260th Coast Artillery. This armory was especially designed for use of the naval militia at the time prior to the World War when it was a part of the National Guard. It also was used subsequent to the con- flict by the United States Naval Re- serve on a permit from the National Guard, but this was withdrawn when the Guard increased in size, making it necessary to have it for the Coast Artillery. At that time the Reserve iboard of Regular Navy officers. This | paring this group of men for the com- | moved to its present cramped and un- satisfactory quarters in the Washing- ton Navy Yard. With the armory question an im- | portant one here, the suggestion had | be>n made that when the militia cb- | tained its new armory the water front building might be allocated to the Naval Reserve, &5 it is ideally located for training, ha-ing, as it does, dock- ,ing facilities for large vessels which | come here from time to time to train | the Reserves and to take them on their annual cruises. It is understood that the “local militia officials have other plans for the use of that building if the new | armory is constructed. The Reservists some time ago prepared tentative plans for an armory for their special purpose, but with the eccnomic de- | pression, these were temporarily laid aside. However, observers point out that the organization is forced to get its drills under very unsatisfactory conditions in & structure built for fcommercial purposes, the drill hall being nothing more than a lean-to which was constructed along two sides of the building during the World War. The drill hall is so small that only one division can drill in it at one time, | making it necessary to have separate | drill nights instead of having the en- | tire battalion assembled at one time. Only on special occasions, such as | Navy day and the annual inspection, is the entire battalion assembled. | No effort has been made by the naval authorities to obtain any public | works funds for the construction of !an armory for the Reserve, and the Reservists as individuals are pre- |vented by naval procedure from |takmg the initiative in attempting to improve their condition by seeking the construction of an armory. On the other hand, the Guard officials are unhampered in their efforts to ob- | tain the funds and are working hard | to reach their goal. The following enlistments were re- ported at the Reserve headquarters during the week: Joseph A. Bennett, 215 Girault ave- | nue, Virginia Highlands, Va. radio- | man, third class, Communications Di- | vision; Paul R. Johnson, 280 Fifteenth street southeast, apprentice seaman, | Third Fleet Division; William F. | Bender, 715 Allison street, fireman, | third class, Third Division; William | L.
