NAVAL RETIREMENTS.
Question Whether STAFF Officers Are
Entitled to Same Benefit as Line

An interesting point has been raised in
&C tnnection with the cases of three staff Off
GERS of the navy. who retire for age during
the present month. The officers in question
ale Medical Director H. A. Bright, who re-
tires on the 9th instant; Pay Director R.
Pa rks, who retires on the same date and
Medical Director ]. HI. Clark, who retires
on the 10th instant.
The question at issue is whether these
officers are entitled to the benefits of the
provision of the personnel law that ANY
officer with creditable record who served
during the civil war shall, when retired be
retired with the rank and three-fourths the
sea pay OF the next higher grade" 1t has
been contended in some quarters that this
provision of law applied only to officers of
the line of the navy. There being some
doubt in the minds of the officials on the
subject, 1T was decided to request the At
torney General of the United States for an
opinion as to the applicability of the Sec
tion quoted. 1t is a matter of considerable
Importance to all the staff officers of the
navy.
