Plans continue under way in the Navy
| Department for carrying into effect the
| Presidents orders relative to the curtail-
| ment of Government expenditures. Ir
accordance with these directions only
one-eighth of the standard quota of en-
listed men of the Navy will be taken II
during November. 1t appears at this
time that it will be necessary to dimin.
by some 1900 men and that Of thu
Marine Corps from 900 to 1000 men
and this, obviously, will neceSSitate tnt
decomniSsioning OF many ships anC
curtail of shore activities. 1t is prob
able that this reduction of naval en-.
listed personnel VIII continue until mex
March.
The recent cut Of $500 men in thu
Nays enlisted force does not NEAR
that there will be a decrease in thu
number of petty officers The same
actual number and q greater relativt
number Of petty officers will be main
tanned for the remainder Of this flsca
year. There was on September 80 ar
excess of s24 first-class petty officers
Instructions we're issued by the Nav
Department to reduce this excess II
order to protect the appropriation 70
pay against overexpenditure and to al
low the Bureau Of Navigation to make
some adjustments In allowances amonI
the various rating groups, caused b!
changes in the operating plan and b!
excuses and shortages in some groups
The bureau does not intend to continue
this quota system in effect longer thar
necessary, and when Development
clarity the personnel situation, thi
former system win be resumed.
