MOVE MADE TO CUT
ARMY FORCE HERE
Study Ordered With Aim of
Transferring Officers Who
Can Be Spared.

Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief OF
staff Of the Army, has ordered a study
made of the personnel organization of
the War Department. with a view to
transferring to troop duty officers whose
services here can be dispensed with.
The survey follows publication Of
charges by Maj. Gen. Smedley D. But
Ter. U. S. M. c.. retired, and Rear Ad-
miral Thomas p. Msgruder, U, S. NJ,
retired, that Washington is unneces-
sarily filled with service officers.
Inasmuch as the study is being made,
War Department officials declined to
state how many officers might be trans
ferred out of the city. It was learned,
however, that as many as 100 may be
affected.
$50 Now on Duty Here.
There are at present approximately
$50 officers assigned to duty In the de-
partment, of which 1o3 are with the
general staff. IS in the adjutant gen.
erals office, 43 in the judge advocate
generals Office, SO in the quartermaSter
generals Office, a in the ordnance de-
partment and about 81 in the Office OF
the Assistant Secretary of War.
Although assignment to duty in the
Capital is considered by most officers
as q prize plum the chief of staff
himself has served only about six years
in Washington after 13 years in the
Army. The study of personnel is at
tributed by some officers to a de-
sire of Gen. Macarthur to give the
officers more actual experience with
the troops.
In ordering any changes that may
be decided upon as a result Of the sur
vey, it was said officers will be ordered
to duty with troops upon the compile
ton of their regular assignment here
and their posts left untitled.
Bureaus Asked TO Report.
In this connection, Gen. Macarthur
has requested bureau chiefs to report
to him the minimum STATS which they
consider necessary to the efficient OPP
Grafton of their bureaus. Any officers
found unnecessary are to be removed
upon expiration of their tour Of duty,
according to officials.
LAS an example" said one of1cer, "n
it Is found bureau now has six officers
and can get along with five, the sixth
officer will be transferred to troops when
he has finished his tour.
"OfhcerS who are transferred, nat
urally, will 60 to stations where there is
a shortage In personnel"

property contains the same de1ectS
which caused the dismissal OF the
original bill, the Mayhower Hotel Co.

tions, the court was told. 1t also was
alleged that the petition is SO vague
and indefinite. as not to advise the de-
PENDANTS of the nature OF the case

rights of the plaintiffs to maintain the

The allegation Of adverse interest
against the trustee under the mortgage
is mere inference and assumption, 1t is
claimed, and is unsupported by fact
Failure to serve notice on the trustees
before filing the suit was cited as a
fatal defect in the amended bill, Whlch
is declared to have been filed IMPROVE

we face the future let us give little
" thought to the industrial production OF
"A The production and distribution of
power is a great basic industry. Upon
it depend all other industries. 1t is creator OF
Industries, since its utilization a large scale,
cheaply and expedtiously leads ever to more
inventions of practical application.
1t will benefit us, then, to remember that
Our country has developed resources for pro-
ducing power such as no other ever possessed.
In the gigantic, but subtle, processes by which
electrical energy comes into being and is dis
tributed, we excel all others.
We manufacture power more efficiently and
cheaply than any one.
And, far as that part of power which is
natural-water powers concerned, while 1t
plays only minor part in the grand total OF
power production, 1t stil Is highly important,
economic asset, for its water power potentiaities
far exceed those of any commercially competitive
country.
Above and beyond these considerations. the
near future will witness great expansions OF
power production of untold effect, socially and
It has been said that power is the source of
modern civilization. Certainly, none will assert
that modern civilization can be maintained
AS George A. orrok, the distinguished engineer,
points out, the Severing Of the force, for in
mechanisms of New York City, would be fol-
lowed by the exodus of its inhabitants within
week

ton interviewed to largely solve the problem.
went to him. however. not to get light on the
relation Of power to civilization but the con;
nection between the production OF electrical
power and industry. 1t is a duller subject, but
one to interest every one deeply.
OF Mr.. Orrok it need only be said that he Is
one of the greatest power authorities in the
world. AS mechanical engineer for the huge New
York Edison Co over long period Of years.
and because of far-fung operations elsewhere,
he has directed many of the largest power in
stanations in the country. Also he has made
an exhaustive study of European power projects
and processes.
Reduced to its simplest form, the interview
follows
@. What is the present status of electrical
power production an industry in the United
States?
A. The electric light and power industry has
capital investment of more than $11 900 900 000
and this is increasing at the rate of $500, 100000
a year. Gross revenues exceed So, 900 a
year.
Development possibilities are on scales just as
tremendous. Several circumstances must be con-
sidered
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-18

Twenty per cent OF industrial establishments
still do not use electricity
Twenty-eight per cent of homes are not wired
The 70 per cent of homes which do use cleo
tricty have not, by any means, exhausted its
possible employment.
Population increases mean larger markets.
The per capita use of electricity in this coun-
try now is about 800 kilowatt hours annually. It
is estimated that the absorbing power per capita
within the next few years can well reach 5000
kilowatt hours
A vista is opened of widespread expansion of
great economic benefit.
Incidentally, the effects will be like this, from
the viewpoint of comfort and convenience: IN
like the ancient Spartan, who had six slaves to
serve him, the average American through mod
ern mechanical achievement, now has the
equivalent of so slaves serving him. If we
realize our present conceptions, and he uses 1000
kilowatt hours of electricity per annun1, he will
have the equivalent of at least 210 slaves serving
him. Thus life will become more comfortable,
more convenient and more entertaining
In the past the power industry has doubled in
volume on an average of once in seven years.
There is no reason to be pessinnistic about its
future.
O. With the development of modern produc-
tive machinery the individuals productive capac-
ity has been increased so times. VIII any further
increase be advisable?
A. Why not? This is mechanical age. We
can continue to produce more and more things
