OFFICERS CRITICIZE
NAVY PAY REPORT
Accuracy of Figures Used by
Bureau of Efficiency Is
Challenged.

The Bureau of Efficiency report or
salary increases for commissioned ON
GERS of the Army and Navy, released
yesterday. today evoked criticism among
younger officers of the naval service
and the accuracy of the figures, al
published, was challenged.
Oficers pointed out that the Bureau
Of Efficiency report was based on the
report of the InteTdspartmental Pay
Board, now before Congress, on which
the entire naval service is in agreement
Naval officers took particular excep-
ton to that phase of the report which
set out that after 10 years Of service
officers are obtaining $4,000.
Cite Variance in Pay.
At present two-thirds of the line on
GERS are comprised of the class of 1911
and later classes, the officers explained
and these constitute an ever-growinf
majority in the service. Instead of the
$4,000 set out in the Bureau Of Efaciency
report. the officers said that under the
1922 pay act, this two-thirdS Of the line
officers, some Of whom have merely /:
years service, are put in the position
where at the end of Is years service
married officers get as a maximum total
pay and Allowances $4,278. Bachelor
officers graduating on the same lay with
the same service, while serving at sea-
get $3,096 and bachelor officers while on
shore duty get s3,S16. This is far
cry, they insist, from the published fig
ure of $4,000 for officers with three
years less service.
The total number of line officers in
the Navy today is 5,45S, out of a grand
total Of 7,475 officers in all branches
Of the service.
Congress to Get Figures.
The officers asserted that the inter-
departmental pay board has consid-
cred these facts and they will be pre-
sented to the congressional joint COM
mittee.
Instead of getting $3.50 for the 20
year period In the Navy, as represent
ed by the Bureau of Efictency figures,
the officers insisted that under the
1922 pay act they actually get 5000.
A statement from the Navy Depart
ment included in the Bureau Of Ell
ciency's report also took the stand that
the bureaus conclusions had not taken
IN some necessary factors.

POLICE COURTESY
PLAN IS PRAISED
Lansburgh Commends Pratt for
Campaig-Sees Better Feel
ing by Public.

Hearty approval of the courtesy cam
patgn launched yesterday by Mai.
Henry q. Pratt, superintendent of
police, in ordering police to exercise
discretion in their treatment of the
public, even while enforcing laws, came
today from the Merchants g. Manu-
facturers' Association.
Mark Lansburgh, president of the
association, in a letter to Mai Pratt
commencing him on the step, saw the
move as one means Of developing q
better police force and creating Q more
friendly attitude among visitors here
toward Washington.
Because certain traf11c regulations are
peculiar to this city, especially the
method of making left turns, police
who handle traffic can by their conduct
either engender good or III will for the
city" Mr.. Lansburgh declared.
Mr.. Lansburgh recommended the
placing of signs at arterial entrances to
the Capital briefly noting peculiar traf-
nc regulations as O guide.
Courteous treatment of local citizens.
who often unwittingly break minor reg
ulations, will accomplish much more
than harsh treatment, which incurs iii
viii and breaks down, rather than builds
up cooperation, Mr.. Lansburgh con-
cluded.

the speech-making contest into the
George Mason School as well. It is
not, however, the first time which the

the contest. It's speakers on previous
years always have given good accounts
OF themselves in the various phases Of
the contest.
One of Maryland's first 100 per cent

cipal. La Plata is one of the larger

Of the race.
