Personnel Legislation in Naral
RiU.
[From rhs rrlbun. Rureaa.l

Washington. February 2s.
WHAT CONGRESS MAY DO.-The naval
appropriation bill. when reported next week
from the House Naval Committee. will con-
tain number of clauses relating to per-
sonnel. These probably represent all the
legislation it will be possible to obtain at
this session Of Congress without regard 20
the general personnel scheme which has
been under consideration in the Navy De-
partment and has the Endorsement of Sec
retary Meyer and the President One OF
these provisions proposes to commission as
ensigns all midshipmen who. compile
ton of the four-year course at the Naval
Academy. are duly graduate Now these
midshipmen are sent to sea as such for
two years following the four-year course,
and in that capacity theV are not regarded
as full-fedged officers and entitled to
tirement a pensionable status in case of
injury in line of duty. These benefits
considered as due the midshipmen after
they have left the Naval Academy to place
them on equality, at least, with the
graduates Of West Point, who become sec
demic training.
Another provision equalizes the pay OF
acting assistant surgeons and assistant
surgeons. These officers have identical du-
ties to perform. the former serving in some
instances a probationary period prelimi-
nary to their appointments to the regular
naval medical corps. The existing differ
ence in pay and allowances is considered
unfair to the acting assistant surgeons,
and the naval committee has decided to
correct the defect.
Another clause will esta blish a proba-
tionary period for newly appointed officers
from civil life to commands in the navy
pay corps and in the marine corps.
