WRATH OF HOUSE
Naval Affairs Committeeman
Out to End Present System
of Retiring Officers.

Washington. July 5.-Recent activi-
ties Of the Nays "plucking board
have resulted in a renewal of the ag-
itation in the House TO abolish the
present methods Of retiring capable
active officers. Representative Tribble,
a Georgia Democrat. and Representa-
tive Britten. an Illinois Republican,
both members of the Naval Affairs
Committee, have girded on their war
togs and are out after the board
Mr.. Britten asserted to-day that the
present method of retirement had dem
onstrated itself to be "a complete and
self-evident failure"
I'VE have recently seen fifteen active
officers retired" said Mr.. Britten.' mot
only does this mean the enforced idle
ness of officers still capable Of excel
lent service, but it costs the Govern
ment about $4,000 year 10 support
these officers in involuntary idleness.
There is increasing sentiment for the
abolition of the 'plucking' system and
the substitution of some more Just
form of retirement. | shall do all in
my power to bring about legislative
notice of the present unsatisfactory ar
rangement."
Mr.. Tribble. who several times has
spoken IN opposition TO the board, -
ready to join with Mr. Britten in an
attempt 20 bring legislation out Of the
Naval Affairs Committee that Will do
away with the "plucking boards &C
tivities If it Is found impossible to
put through such legislation at this
session, an effort will be made to abOl-
ish the board by a rider in the next
naval appropriation bill.
