D—12 BILL WOULDEND BUREAUS OF NAVY Maas for Establishing Modi- fied Form of Army General Staff System. A bill is in course of preparation by | Representative Melvin J. Maas, Re- | publican, of Minnesota, that will | abolish the bureau system of the Navy | Department and establish a modified form of the Army's general staff system. It will effect a complete re- organization of the administration of the Navy Department and under the proposed new set-up the chief of naval operations, the present in- cumbent of which is Admiral William D. Leahy, would be chief of staff. The opinjon has been expressed that there is an overlapping in the authority of the different bureaus, and also serious gaps in authority between the bureaus, resulting in an improper chain of authority which will be provided for by a general staff system. It is of interest in this con- nection to reproduce the words of President Rooscvelt, spoken 18 years THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 16, 1937—PART TWO. annd Betrer Dress Shop SALE!
