Dislike Giving
More PO1Oer To
Chief Of Staff
Members of House Military
Committee Oppose Pro-
vision In Army Bill.

washington. D. c., Feb. 17.-Opposi-
ton has developed in the house mill
itary committee to the form Of the
rider offered by the war department
for Incorporation IN the army appro-
priation bill to permit temporary re-
organization OF the army by the chief
Of staff. with approval Of the secre-
tary OF war. pending the enactment
OF permanent legislation on the sub
iject.
The rider was submitted at the re-
quest Of the chairman Of the commit
tee. and after It was pointed out that
it would be impossible to put through
in the few weeks remaining Of this
session army legislation such as en-
bodied in the war department bills,
that would be the occasion Of contro-
versy and protracted debate.
The rider is regarded by members
Of the military committee as too dras-
tic in its effect. in that it increases
the functions and power Of the gen
eral staff There will be a fight over
this proposition both in the committee
and on the floor Of the house. There
is unmistakable opposition to the gen.
eral staff plans in congress. They
were smothered during the war.
Moreover, the proposal to transfer
most Of the present war department
bureau chiefs to the line OF the army
is not regarded with favor. These Of
ficers now are serving under four
year details and transfer OF the in
cumbents to the line would make them
permanent in the grade Of major gen.

Judge Advocate General Not Consulted
When the bill submitted by the war
department, and for the time being
laid aside is taken up in the next
congress. il is destined TO be almost
rewritten before enactment The
significant question was asked the
secretary OF war during his recent
hearing before the committee as TO
whether the judge advocate general Of
the army had been permitted TO exam
inc the bill and make comment thOre-
on as TO its legal phraseology and ef-
feet. It was revealed that that Off
cial had not been afforded such an
opportunity So many flaws already
have been discovered in the bill BY
committee members that IL is out OF
the question to enact it in its present
form.
Opposes Lump sum Plan.
One Of the provisions OF the bill that
is marked for quick elimination BY
congress is that which relates to esti-
mates and appropriations and pro-
vides that congress shall appropriate
in one item for the support OF the
army the total amount Of money al
lowed therefor. The secretary OF war
would apportion quarterly the amount
OF money needed by the various SER
vices. the chief Of staff advising him
as to the necessary superintendent
