HOUSE D. c. COMMITTEE
PLANS ENLARGING ROOM
Removal of Partition Would Pro-
vide More Space for Attend
ance at Hearings.

Arrangements are being made to en-
large the House District Committee
room in the House ONCE Building.
The plan being considered is to tear
out the partition between the commit
tee room and the clerks office to make
a longer room to provide for a larger
attendance at hearings on District mat
tiers.
Chairman Norton and other men,
bers of the committee have been pro-
testing vigorously that the committee
should be given more adequate quarters
and that it rates better location. Mrs
Norton has conferred with the archi-
tect's Office about the matter.
II the partition is removed it will
be necessary to build rostrum at one
end for the committee table. While the
architects Office has funds sufficient
for tearing down the wall, it has not
funds for building the rostrum.
Members of the District Committee
are hopeful that some shift can be
made which will give them more ade-
quate quarters.

NAVY T0LOSE zoo
CIVILIAN WORKERS
Notice to Be Given of Service
Termination Effective on
September 80.

Some 200 civilian employees of the
Navy Department either have received
notice or will be Informed tomorrow of
their separation from the service, effec-
tive May 81.
F. s. Curtis, chief clerk of the de-
partment, said yesterday that all the
bureaus have not submitted their lists
Of those designated for separation, but
these are expected to be in by tomor-
row. SO that final figure can be set.
The names Of those slated to 60 will
be sent to the Civil Service Commission
for scrutiny to insure that all REQUIRE
ments have been complied with and
That due consideration has been given
veterans preference, dependency, the
married persons clause under the econ
omy act, ana other legal demands. This
reduction Is calculated to save $40O, 900
OF the Navy Departments pay roll-10
per cent.
Health Records Probed.
The Navy Department is q hotbed
OF rumor about what Is going to hap
pen to officer and enlisted personnel
and the various functions Of the serv-
ice, including the closing up of So
called obsolete shore stations. The Star
learned that a board of physicians of
the Navy is at work in the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery, going over the
health records of all officers. There are
various reports Of cut In officer per-
Sonnel-but 1t seems to be crystalized
at about l 900 for the Navy and about
$50 for the Marine Corps. The special
medical board Is laying aside the health
records OF officers who have had a num-
Der OF days on the sick list, In hospitals
or shipboard, to be ready for q priority
reduction list
It is reliably asserted that Rear Ad-
mlral Frank B. Upham, chief of the
Bureau Of Navigation, Navy Depart
ment, Is planning on setting up a board
that will do the same in the profess
sional field that the doctors are doing
IN the physical realm. The profess
sional board would 60 over the records
and fitness reports Of the various OFF,
GERS and weed out those that, for one
cause or another, have not measured
up to standard.
If the officer personnel of the Navy
is to be slashed, the medical and pro-
fessional boards would have lists from
which to pick those that should 20
first.
Has Fuller Suggestion.
Secretary Of the Navy Swanson has
before him for study a recommended
tion Of Maj. Gen. Ben. H. Fuller, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, that the
pay department and the quartermaster
department of the Marine Corps be
merged in one organization as an
economy move. Secretary Swanson said
he had not made up his mind on this
merger.
Omcials said suggestion that a
study be made of the possibilities of
merging the two groups came from the
General Board. As a consequence, they
explained, a board. comprising Maj.
Gen. John T. Myers. Col. Harold c.
Reisinger, assistant paymaster. and Col.
Percy F. Archer, assistant quarter
master, went into the problem.
1t is known that there is consider
able opposition to the proposed consoli-
dation. Opponents declare the Army
tried the plan of merging financial
duties in the Quartermaster Corps,
abandoning the pay department. but
later this program was scrapped and
the present finance department set up.
