Naval Reserves to Get

Admiral Defrees to Make Presentation to
Aviators at Air Station During
Special Ceremonies.

Naval Reserve, in that 1t would permit
them to practice before the Treasury.
The bill was passed by the House at
the last session, the report said. but
the Senate failed to act on it. Under
a Treasury decision, the department
reports, section 109 of the criminal
code was held to prohibit Reserve
officers from practicing before the
Treasury. even while on a totally In
active status. This bill seeks to REM
edy this condition by granting to
these attorneys the same right to
practice as any other attorneys, pro-
vided they are not on active duty.
The Navy Department says that
there appears to be confusion in the
minds Of some as to whether, the an
nual fitness report on officers at
tached to feet divisions Of battalion
should be submitted by the division
commander or by the battalion COM
mander. The division Of the Fleet
Naval Reserve is the basic unit Of
organization, the department further
announced, and the commanding
officer of each officer and man at
tached thereto Is his division COM
mander. The division commander
therefore submits the fitness reports
on all officers attached to his division.
The battalion commander submits the
fitness report on division commanders
and officers of his staff. The COM
mandant submits the report on the
battalion commanders, except In the
9th District where they are submitted
by the area commanders.

ton Of the Navy Department has au-
thorized a board to be convened here

Bandits Sweetheart, 101, Dies.

"Old Sari," the sweetheart of San
dor Rosa, most celebrated of Hun
garian highwaymen and hero Of many
folk songs and ballads, was loyal to
his memory all her life, which ended
recently when she was 101 years Of
age. She remained a spinster and
passed her last years selling rosaries
outside a church. To the last she
cherished the handkerchief which her
romantic lover gave her when they
became engaged. 1t was she who per-
suaded Sander to form a squad of
rough riders from among his nigh
waymen to take part in Kossuth's
war of independence.
