after his demotion to the grade of
first lieutenant. Upon completion OF
six years service. it is contended that,
though Capt. Eagle Is still in the
grade of first lieutenant he is entitled
under the provision of the act of Sep
tember ID, 1922, to additional longev-
ity increase on the base pay of cap
tain by reason of having completed
the second three years of service.
The chief of finance, however, disal-
lowed this claim, basing his action on
the decision of the controller gen.
eral in the case of Lieut.. Comdr. l..
A. Odlin, u. S. N, dated June 81, 1928.
The last named decision was based
on the saving clause contained in
the act of June 10, 1922, and not the
act of September IA. 1922, on which
Capt. Eagles claim was founded, and
held in effect that the purpose of
the act of June 10, 1922, was to save
the pay to which an officer was en-
titled on June 80, 1922, and not 1.-The
pay to which an officer would there
after become entitled, but for the
passage of the act of June 10, 1929"
A group of officers are behind this
case and they have engaged the serv-
ices of a prominent Washington at
torney to represent their interests
in the matter. AS 1T has not been
the practice of the controller gem
aral to follow the decisions of the
Court of Claims, the committee of Of
ficers will take steps to file indi-
vidual suits of officers occupying a
similar status.
