CHANGE IN NAVAL
POLICY FORECAST
Departure Made From Giving
Medical Officer Command
of Hospital Ship.
s,ecial pispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, September 3.-A
change from the policy of assigning
medical officers of the Navy to the
command of hospital ships. which has
been the custom since the term OF
President Roosevelt, is indicated by
the destination of Capt. Thomas l.
johnson. until recently commanding
the ships of the Naval Academy sta
tion, to the command Of the Relief
cant Johnson is a line officer. and the
first of his status to command such
a vessel since Roosevelt approved the
assignment Of Medical Director stokes
to this duty.
Opposed by Admiral.
II will be remembered that the first
assignment of a medical officer to this
duty was strenuously opposed by most
of the line officers of the service. Rear
Admiral Willard H. Brownson, COM
mander of the fleet of which the vessel
was a part, opposed 1t so strongly
that he was relieved of command by
President Roosevelt.
Since that time medical officers
always have been designated to such
commands, the under officers. having
to do with handling the ship. being
selected from the merchant marine.
In this way a conflict with naval
regulations and federal statutes,
which inhibit the exercise of COM
mand by staff officer over q line
ofiicer, was obviated.
Refused to Take Orders.
1t has been necessary for some time
for officers of the Naval Reserve to be
a ssi zned to these ships. and 1t ie said
that there have been instances where
such officers stood upon their rights
and refused to accent orders from
medical officers. their seniors. 1t is also
understood that the authorities could
do nothing but uphold them. as they
have law and the regulations upon
their side
It is believed that the designation
Of Capt. johnson to the command OF
the Relief indicates a change Of
policy on the part of the Navy De-
-partment, and that there will be no
further assignments Of medical OFF,
GERS to the command of vessels.
