Comdr. John r. White as recorder. In
due course of time the board rendered
It's report, the report went through ON
ciAl channels to the President, who did
not approve the report, and 1t was sent
back to the Navy Department. This Is
the first time since the selection Sys-
tenn was instituted In the Navy that the
President has failed to approve the
recommendations of a selection board

action of the President in failing to ap-
prove the recommendations of &lec-
ton board was because some eligible
officer was not among those recommend
ed for promotion.
AS result, another board will be
convened at the Navy Department to-
morrow to recommend the same number
of officers of the Medical Corps for pro-
motion to the rank of commander. The
officers composing this board, none OF
