The proposition has the hearty ap-
proval of Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of
the Bureau of Navigation. He recon-
mended it last year. but the recommen-
dation was not included in the annual
report of Secretary Moody.
It is not improbable. however. that in
his forthcoming report the Secretary
may decide to ask Congress to create
the grade and limit the number to two.
