RESERVE PARLEY Local Battalion Officer As- signed to Navy Con- ference. Lieut. John M.%Fewell was detailed by Lieut. James E. Sullivan, come mander of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves in the District of Columbia, to represent that organi- zation at the conferences being held at the Navy Department on matters af- fecting the Naval Reserve. It was said that the local representative was sent more or less as an observer, as no definite recommendations have been formulated either by the local battal- ion or the local chapter of the United States Naval Reserve Officers’ Aaso- ciation for presentation to the group of Regular officers and'a number from the Reserve throughout the country, who have been called here to discuss the question, particularly impending legislation, Although all phases of Naval Re- serve problems, both from the Re- serve and the Regular Navy astand- point, will be discussed, one of the prime purposes of the conference is to discuss proposed legislation to amend the Naval Reserve act of 1925 to correct certain deficiencies which have been brought out in its practical administration. A board of officers has made a thorough study of the law and has made certain findings which will be thoroughly threshed out. It was said that although the or- ganic act was a great factor in hare monizing the existing conflicting ele- ments at the time of its passage, cer= tain minor defects have become evi- dent during the years of Naval Re- serve administration under its provi- sions. It was asserted that some of the laws applying to the Naval Reserve do not differentiate between the two classes of Fleet Reserve in the trans- ferred class and the enrolled civilian component. This, it was said, often leads to considerable.confusion when the term “fleet reserve” is used and has at times worked adversely to the | Naval Reserve as a whole. The failure to provide a reasonable number of officers above the grade of lieutenant commander for each class of reservists, that is, fleet, volunteer and merchant marine and the failure to provide for a reasonable flow of promotion by establishing an age in grade retirement in each grade, has resulted in decreased morale in the Naval Reserve as a whole, it was The lower grades, it was added, now contain many officers too old for their rank. Although there has been some in- | ‘crease in numbers in the Naval Re- serve, it was said that it is still far | from being adequate, even in numbein enrolled. No funds have ever been provided for the training of the | Merchant Marine Naval Reserve, that part of the Reserve consisting of offi- cers and men on merchant ships, and | only for an insignificant part of the Volunteer Reserve, composed largely of men whose civilian employment fits them for special service in the Navy in time of war, mostly for filling positions in the shore establishment. It was pointed out that an analysis of the yearly estimates submitted by the Navy Department for the support of the Reserve, compared with funds actually appropriate¢, reveals that in three cases in 11 years Congress made reductions in the Navy Department estimates, in two cases the appropria- tions were the same as the estimates |and in six cases Congress actually increased the appropriations over and above that in the approved Navy budget. It was further pointed out that this | analysis also showed that it has been ACROSS. 1. Small rock. . Acrid. . Skeleton of building. Block for offerings to a deity. . Preface. Bickly person.

This reduction in overhead was accom- plished by carrying numbers in the fleet divisions below desired com- | plement and reducing the number of Eagle boats and other vessels (orl training, notwithstanding the gradual increase in the total reserves enrolled. The board called attention to increases | | in aviation expenses, which was said | to furnish the principal reason for not having increased the funds for the seagoing Reserves. It was asserted that the relative importance of the Volunteer and Merchant Marine Naval Reserve has grown well beyond the ideas of the framers of the Naval Reserve act of 1925. Within the Volunteer Reserve, the Naval Communication Reserve has been developed. This is composed of 700 oficers and 4,000 enlisted men, most of whom are civilian communica- tion experts. They own and operate 2,400 amateur radio stations and operate 31 Government-owned radio training stations. They also operate under emergency status in connection with American Red Cross relief dur- ing disasters. Also, it was added, the volunteer class has greater importance due to the increasing number of R. O. T. C. graduates who enroll Pensacola graduates with the designa- tion of Naval aviator and all grades of specialists in both line and stafl. In spite of its importance, it was| pointed out to the department, the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve is the most neglected class of the Re- serves. No funds have ever been ap- propriated for training this class. The report of the board said that recent disasters in the merchant marine em- phasize the lack of training and dis- cipline among the crews of American merchant ships. It is estimated that about two-thirds of the commercial tonnage flying the United States flag will be taken over and operated by the Navy in time of war. In accordance with the basis shipping policy, the Navy Department has shown some concern in the de- velopment of the merchant marine with a view of providing ships for the naval transportation service, but it was added that the interest hereto- fore has been principally the consid- erations of the material questions rather than personnel problems. There is still much to be done to provide the necessary education, train- and discipline of the Merchant }Hutton, ‘The Nu Alpha and Nu Beta Chap- | ters joined in celebrating the eleventh anniversary of the founding of Kappa Delta Phi National Sorority with a | dinner November 4, at the Burling- ton Hotel.
