PROMOTION ORDER
 FOR (. N. C. GIVEN
Officers Must Complete Re- quired Prepara { tory
 Work to Be Elevated

No officer of the Connecticut Na- tional Guard will be recommended for promotion in the future unless he has completed required prepar- atory work, according to an an- nouncement by Brigadier General William r. Ladd, adjustant gem ernl, made public today.
 Qualifications for promotion have been made much more strict, according to the new orders. Be- sides completion of the corrcs. pondence course, an officer is re- quired to have "satisfa ctorily com- mandcd a unit in size appropriate to the rank held by him."
 An eligible list consisting of each enlisted man who has satisfactorily completed army correspondence courses has been esta blished. In the future. when promotions are to be made, the names of officers recommended for advancement must come from this list. Excep- tions to the new regulation may be made only by the approval of the proper authority. and of the governor, who is commander-in- chief of the state troopj.
 The purpose of tho regulation, 1t Is announced, Is to provide q well-rounded, comprehensive back ground for all officers, on the the- ory that command of the troops is q prerequisite to staff duty. Only in this way, 1t is believed, can staff officers obtain thorough under standing of staff problems.
 By terms of the n'"" ruling n captain on staff duty wl.) has never commanded a company must re- turn to duty with his regiment be- fore he can be promoted to major.

(Continued from Page ID strengthen the insurance provi- sions. He believes, he said, the gov ernment should gradually take over functions of the insurance companies and that life insurance should be removed fro m private enterprise with it's profit motive.
 The general plan now is for annuities which woudl return $1OO q month after the policy holder reached the age of 65. How much they would cost or the terms on which they could be purchas sed have not been determined. It was understood. however, that new data on the normal expectancy of life would be used in fixing the rates.
 Those annuitics, according to the present program, would be sold to persons who would not be eligible for the old-age insurance to be worked out by states under federal supervision.
 For that reason great interest has developed concerning salared and professional classes who have not been able to work out satis- factory system of saving for old age.
 The administration social se- curity program continued a subject of intense interest among congress- men and senators during their week end recess.
 Senate Minority Leader Charles l.. McNary called a republican conference for next week to con. sider the bill. He said there was considerable sentiment for increas- ing the governments share of oid- age pensions.
 President Roosevelt, meanwhile, said the governments $15 share did not necessarily mean the total would be $30. States have the priv ilege of contributing as much more than the government as they de. sire. he said. t
 Tho president expressed con tldence the states. most Of whose legislatures are now in session. would cooperate quickly.

Washington, Jan 19-- --(UP)-The administration has decided to con- tinue the present federal stock market control regulations for at least another year, 1t was disclosed today.
 Members of the securities and exchange commission, busily draft ing rules under the 1884 securities exchange act and rewriting and codifying earlier regulations of the 1893 securities act, will not seek additional legislation at the pres ent session of congress.
 They feel further legislation is unwise until the full enforcement program Is completed and observed from experience. In addition, they said. market conditions do not war rant any changes.
 The commission wishes to sim plify enforcement of the two laws to provide a minimum of expense to corporations and brokers but with additional protection for in- vcstors.
 The first step in this program was Issuance of new and simplif!cd registration requirements for "old and seasoned corporations in an effort to prompt issuance of at least $3,000, 100000 in new securities.
 The commission has completed T report for congress, which probably will be made public Monday, inter- nal organization of stock ex- changes This was ordered last year by congress.
 The report is expected to describe set-ups of exchanges but will not make important legislative re- quests. An authoritative source said 1t might drop q few strong hints for, the exchanges, themselves, to fol low"
