100000 COMMISSION
ON HOSPITAL SOUGHT

Edward Hines of Chicago testified
before the Senate buildings commit

personally reported to Secretary
Baker. Chairman Baruch and Vice
Chairman Legge of the War Indus

Trainor, a civilian employee of the War
Department. had attempted to obtain
a commission of 100000 in connection
with plans proposed by Mr. Hines for
construction of the Chicago Speedway
Hospital.
A request was made for an imme-
diate investigation by a committee,
Mr.. Hines said, but Secretary Baker
told him the government had ma
chinery of its own, and directed full
inquiry by the inspector generals Of

Chairman Baruch. Mr.. Hines said,
expressed great surprise that the War
Department had delayed work on the
hospital because the project had been
approved by government bureaus and
would not entail subtraction of ma
terial from essential industry. AMr.
Hines said he told the War Industries
Board that he had a suspicion" that
Trainor was responsible Tor delaying
construction work.
Mr.. Baker. according to the witness,
turned over the hospital project to AS
sistant Secretary Crowell when he
left for Europe. An investigation,
he said. resulted favorably to the
Speedway Park. project with recon-
mendations for its completion, but
was not made public and apparently
resulted in no action in connection
with the charges against Trainor.

RESTRICTIONS ON ARMY
PROMOTIONS MODIFIED
Such Advancement as Would Be
Normal in Times of Peace to
Be Permitted.

Secretary Baker has modified the
restrictions which have held since the
armistice was signed on promotions
in the Army. In accordance with the
new policy Gen Pershing is author
lied to make such promotions as va
cancies in the authorized strength of
his command may permit and the
same practice will be followed with
respect to the Army in the United
States.
This relaxation of the rule with re-
gard to promotions" Secretary Baker
said, does not invite a departure
from the principle hitherto estab-
lished that promotions cannot be
made merely as reward for past
services, however meritorious. The
rule is relaxed only to permit the
Army which remains undemobilized TO
be treated as a living organiza ton
with such promotions as would be
normal in times of peace to fill va
cancies existing or as they may
arise"
The new policy applies up to and in
