The 1st Battalion of local Naval Re- servists attached to the Washington Navy Yard, had the same standing for 1935 as for 1934—twenty-sixth on the list—the Navy Department re- wvealed yesterday. The Acting Secretary of the Navy, * Col. Henry L. Roosevelt, made public the annual report of the presidgnt of the Naval Reserve Inspection Board, Rufus W. Mathewson, U. 8. N. This was approved by Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews, chief of the Bu- reau of Navigation.

Second place was held by the Connecticut outfit, 5th Bat- talion, 3d Naval District. Washington'’s étanding of twenty- sixth was shared with the 6th Bat-| B talion of the 9th Naval District, Chi- | cago, Tll, which also attained a final merit for 1935 of 80.6. The 1st BBC- talion at Maryland, which is in '.he 6th Naval District, stood twenty-eighth on the list, as did the 5th Battalion of Chicago, both attaining a mark of 80.4 for the year.

C., the aviation division having the second highest merit, be awarded 2 | letter of commendation from the chief | of the Bureau of Navigation. 1n making his report to the Secre- tary of the Navy, Admiral Andrews pointed out that the amount of funds available in the 1936 Naval Reserve appropriation for training duty is lim- jted to the annual training periods for the various organizations of the Fleet Naval Reserve and an insignifi- cant number of officers and men of the Volunteer Reserve.
