corder This is one of the most i'm
portant boards that meets in the War
Department, 1t being charged with clas--
styling every officer in the service and
determining their professional fitness
for remaining in the service.
A survey of the vacancies among the
commissioned personnel of the Regular
Army last week, disclosed the fact that
the non promotion list branches were
short SO officers. there were lat va
cancies In the promotion list branches,
while the Army Air Corps itself was
160 officers short Exclusive of the nom
promotion list vacancies, the Army is
short 307 officers. OF the shortage OF
SO officers in the non-promotion list 43
are In the Medical Corps of the Reg
ular Army.
The attractive offers for more rapid
advancement and much greater re-
muneration has made heavy inroadS
upon the flying personnel of the Air
Corps, and the past year or so the Army
has lost considerable number OF its
outstanding flyers to commercial air.
craft companies The authorized Of
f1cer strength of the Air Corps for this
fiscal year is 1858. AS of october 81,
1928. the last available date for strength
figures up to this time showed that the
actual commissioned strength of the
fiying arm of the service was $50 as
signed officers with 122 detailed. The
majority of officers in the latter group
are now undergoing flying instruction.
Thus at the present time the Air Corps
is short 1S1 officers. The l22 officers

referred to above should really be in
cluded in the latter figure, making the
total shortage 303 for the group OF
officers undergoing flying instruction
are not assigned to the Air Corps.
To overcome this shortage in the Air
Corps, two examinations will be held,
one from December II to %, while the
second examination will be held from
March Is to %, 1929.
No examination for appointment as
second lieutenant in the Regular Army
was held last June, due to the fact that
the 1928 graduating class at the Mill
tary Academy absorbed all of the va
cancies that existed in the military es-
tablishment at that time. It is yet toe
early to determine whether or not the
present senior or first class at West
Point, that will graduate next June, VIII
be numerically sufficient to absorb all OF
the vacancies that will exist in the COM
missioned. personnel at that time. The
average West Point graduating class
usually numbers around 200 members
Six months will elapse before the 1923
Military Academy class will be commits
stoned as second lieutenantS in the Reg
ular Army, ard the number of separa-
tions occurring between now and next
June will determine to a great extent
whether an examination for appoint
ment as second lieutenant in the mill
tary establishment will be held In the
early Summer.
The current four-year terms of two
War Department bureau chiefs will ex-
pire on the same date next Spring
March %. 1929-that of Maj. Gen.
Amos A. Fries, chief of Chemical War
fare Service, and that Of Maj. Gen.
Robert H. Allen, chief of Infantry. The
failure of the reappointment OF Maj
Gen. John A. Hull as judge advocate
general of the Army, who was succeed
ed by Maj. Gen. Edward A. Kreger, In
dicates that the War Department policy
of making chief of branch appointments
for one term of four years only is to be
adhered to. However, with the induc-
ton into office of a new national ad-
ministration it is possible and perhaps
probable that the new administration
may favor appointments, it being felt
that the engineering mind of the next
President, always with an eye for econ
omy and efficiency will not view with
favor the placing of new general ot1-
GERS in high commands, especially when
the present occupants are discharglng
their duties efficiently.
Rather than revert to the grade OF
colonel and probably be placed in an
unimportant command, this one-term

Judge advocate general and assigned to
sea duty this Autumn and 1t was under
stood that he would be assigned to COM
mand the special service squadron as
the relief of Rear Admiral David F.
Sellers, who would be appointed judge
advocate general. There were two OUT
standing reasons, however, which pre-
vented the occurrence of these rumored
changes First, the Navy Department
authorities desired to retain Admiral
Campbell in his present Office during
this session of Congress, as he would be
available to appear before congressional
committees during the consideration of
proposed personnel and other legisla-
ton, with which he is so familiar. Sec
ondly, it was decided to retain Admiral
! Sellers as commander of the special
service squadron until after the presi-
dental election in Nicaragua on NO.
vember 4. as it would have been of
| questionable policy to make a change
in the command of the squadron during
the prediction period. The indica-
tions now are that Admiral Sellers will
remain in his present position at least
until PreSident-elect Moncada assumes
office on January l, 1929, and probably
| for a time thereafter until the new ad-
ministration becomes settled.
| Service discussion is also being heard
relative to the important office of the
commandant of the United States Ma
rine Corps, the present encumbent OF
which is Maj Gen. John A. Lejeune,
who will complete his four years as the
head of the Marine Corps on March 5.
1929. His reappointment would be
most popular choice. Gen. Lejeune
would have nearly four more years to
serve. as he will not attain the retiring
age limit until January 10. 1888.
There is no prospective vacancy at
the present time in the grade of rear
| admiral for Capt. Arthur j. Hepburn,
who was the junior of the five cap
tains selected last June for advance
ment. The other four have made their
numbers and Capt. Harry E. Yarnell
was promoted to rear admiral on
August II as result of the retirement
of Rear Admiral Edward w. Eberle.
Unless a vacancy occurs between now
and next June, Capt. Hepburn will
again be considered by the line selec-
ton board, which will meet next June.

they, too, will be considered by the

The Bexar County Commissioners Court
yesterday refused the demand of Rep
resentative Harry M. Wurzbach, Repub-
lican, defeated for reelection in the
fourteenth Texas district by County
Judge Augustus McCloskey, Democrat
that the county vote in the congression-
al race be recanvassed. The action
followed opinions by the county and
district attorneys that the returns could
not be recanvassed because they had
been certified to the Secretary of State.
A grand jury which has been investi-
eating the race completed its work
yesterday The jury returned five in
dictments alleging alteration of election
returns against Judge McCloskey.
The investigation of the Wurzbach-

policy for the chief Of branches of the
supply and technical arms has caused
the retirement of Mai. Gen. Charles
NICK. Saltzman, who retired as chief
signal officer about a year ago. Gen.
Hull had 10 more years to serve before

Navy.
Within the first four months of the
1929 calendar year there will expire the
|
Department bureau chiefs-namely,
Rear Admirals William A. Moffett, chief
of the Bureau of Aeronautics, on March
| 13; Charles Morris, chief of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts, on April %,
and Edward H. Campbell, judge advocate
general of the Navy, on April 80. There
| has been considerable discussion IN
naval circles as to the probable assign
ments of these three bureau chiefs upon
the termination of their tour OF duty,
but as the expiring dates Of their tours
of duty are subsequent to the inaugura-
ton of Mr. Hoover as President, the re-
appointment of the incumbentS or the
selection of their successors will depend
largely upon the Secretary of the Navy
| in the new administration.
The general assumption has been that
Admiral Moffett would be rendered a
1eappointment or would be assigned to
command the aircraft squadrons of the
battle fleet, possibly with the rank OF
vice admiral, as the relief of Rear Ad-
miral Joseph M. Reeves, whom Specula-
ton accreditS as most likely to be ap-
pointed chief of the Bureau of Aero
nauticS. It has also been said that Ad-
miral Moffett might be retired upon his
own application and become identified
with civil and commercial aviation.
With respect to Admiral Morris, it is
not known whether he desires reap
pointment, but the prevailing impress
sion Is that he would prefer to be trans
ferred to the retired list of the Navy
after more than 80 years service.
