The motor car industry was but a

AFTER "PLUCKED" OFFICERS.
Rep. Britton Wants Former Naval
 Officials to Give Some Return.

Washington, June 1.-Asserting that naval officers retired by pluck ing boards now draw pay of nearly half million dollars annually with out giving any return to the govern ment, Representative Britton of H. linois. planned to introduce a bill to- day to authorize the secretary of the navy to utilize the services of officers who have been "plucked." Rep. Brit ton, who IS conducting a fight in con- gress to eliminate the nava plucking board, says it is not only unbusiness- like and unnecessary, but decidedly unfair to the government, which edu- cated the officers at great expense, to have to pay those "plucked' without any return.
 The bill, which would amend the navy personnel act of 1899, provides that officers who are plucked in the future would not be permitted to draw retired pay without performing service. Representative Britton says there are numerous positions under the government where the technical knowledge possessed by these officers could be utilized to advantage.
