ACT OF PLUCK|NG BOARD
SCORED BY BR|TTEN
Illinois Representative Says Present
Retirement Law Should
Be Changed.

The action of the plucking board
Wednesday will cost the government
$4,000 year for which it will re-
cetve nothing in return" said Repre-
sentative Britten Of Illinois. a member
of the naval affairs committee of the
House. today.
The retiring of these officers is but
another evidence of the fallacy OF re-
tanning the present law of retiring If
teen officers each year. The officers re-
tired yesterday seem to be at the zenith
Of their mental and physical powers
and capable of giving this government,
which educated them for their profess
sion, the most efficient and Intelligent
duty required by the navy. The retired
pay Of the five captains, four COM
manders. four lieutenant commanders
and two heutenanrs retired amounts to
$53,753, which will have TO be paid to
these officers for passing their time in
idleness.
IN view of the statement of the
Secretary Of the Navy to the effect
that each of these officers is thorough
ly efficient, and the self-evident failure
Of the present law to accomplish its
purpose I intend to urge the passage
of my bill providing for a better sys-
tenn of retirement, by selecting the
least efficient officers as shown by their
records on file during the entire per-
iod of the officers service"
