IN 4RMY And NAVY.
NaTal STAFF Officers Nay Haze
to Refund Pay.
From The Tribune Bureau


OFFICERS ALARMED - officers who
are connected with the staff corps of the
navy are greatly exercised over the pros
pect that the Controller OF the Treasury
viii render decision which would require
many Of them 10 refund TO the government
certain amounts received a : pay. covering
in some instances d period of several
months The amounts involved vary in diff
ferent cases. but in some instances at
tain the proportions Of $500 to 500. This
situation is the result Of q ruling Of the
auditor for the Navy Department TO the
effect that naval staff officers who are pro-
NOTED with their running mates Of the
line do not receive the increased pay until
the promotion is confirmed by the Senate
Such 2 decision confirmed by the Con-
rroller would produce much dissatisfaction
among naval staff officers and there is
serious anxiety in those branches of the
establishment over the threatening sttua-
ton The Bureau of Navigation is prepar-
ing an argument 10 show the injustice or
the ruling Of the auditor. II is intended by
the naval authorities 10 make q desperate
fight in behalf Of the staff officers 10 save
them from being required by the Treasury
Department to refund money which may
have been erroneousIy paid them
