More Applications to Be Placed the
List Than Can BE Granted.
WARRINGTON. June S-There will be no
necessity this year OF applying the provisions
OF the Naval Personnel act relating to the
selecting out" OF officers to cause the even
flow OF promotions annually that the bill aims
to secure. There are already more applica-
lions from officers to have their names placed
on the list OF voluntary retirement than can
possibly be granted. Casualties. retirements
and other causes have created many
vacancies in the lower grades OF the navy. es-
pecially during the past year. that not only does
necessity not exist for selecting officers for the
retired list. but the number who wish to retire
voluntarily exceeds the limt fixed by Congress.
1t is believed that there will be little or no ne
cessity in future Of invoking the provisions Of
the selecting out clause to create the necessary
number of vacancies annually in the higher
grades. but that these, will all be secured from
the list OF officers who may make voluntary
applications for retirement
Nineteen officers have 80 far filed applica-
tons with the Navy Department for retirement
