BILL TO AID
ARMY FIELD CLERKS

Passage Of legislation to permit the
appointment Of army field clerks as
warrant officers, is advocated by the
adjutant general Of the army to pro
vide an adequate clerical force to re
place losses caused by the reduction
In the ranks Of the field clerks since
1920.
Appointment Of field clerks was pro
hibited by the act of 1920, and since
that date the ranks Of the clerks have
been reduced until only 215 remain
In the service.
No provision has been made for the
retirement of field clerks on account
Of age or long service, and efforts to
pass such legislation have failed.
Some of the few that still remain
In the service are past the age when
they should be retired, but under the
law they could only be dismissed with
out further remuneration after Ions
and faithful service.
Adjutant General Davis estimates II
would require an additional appropria'
ton of $4,000 the first year to make
all field clerks warrant officers.
Salaries of field clerks would b
raised from 500 to $3.50 per year.
