Evening star., 1935-01-13

with the comment Of the Bureau CT
Navigation.
The conference recommended that
funds be provided each fiscal year for
not less than 48 paid drills and Il
days training duty for all officers and
| enlisted men of the Fleet Naval Re-
serve, and for week end cruises with.
out pay but with subsistence, for two
weeks training duty with pay and
allowances for as many officers and
men of the Volunteer Naval Reserve
as practicable up to rs per cent of the
total number each year, for an ade.
quate and reasonable amount of ship
keepers and yeomen. 1t also was recon-
mended that suitable steps be taken
to procure compensation for Reserv-
lists injured while performing drills or
other authorized activities, and, also,
that certain officers and men be given
their two weeks annual training duty
at speciality schools in lieu of afloat
with their own organizations each
year.
The Bureau said that it agrees in
principle with the above recommenda-
tions, adding that they reflect the
bureau policies, depending upon the
availability of funds for these pur-
poses. Legislation has been requested,
subject to the approval Of the Bureau
of the Budget, to obtain adequate COM
pensation for injury or death under
the conditions noted.
The conference recommended that
there be established Naval Reserve
Advisory Board" to meet annually for
the discussion of various Naval Re-
serve problems and make recommen-
dations thereon, including budgetary
requirements, the board to consist Of
representatives of the General Board,
the office of Naval Operations, the
Bureau of Navigation and at least six
Naval Reserve officers on inactive
duty, representative so far as prac-
ticable of the various naval districts
and various claSsifications of the
Naval Reserve.
The bureau commented that II ap-
preciates the value Of Joint conferences
to consider Naval Reserve affairs. 1t
is noted, the bureau said further, that
the conference did not mention the
necessity of having representatives
from the Merchant Marine Naval Re-
serve as members Of the proposed
Naval Reserve Advisory Board" The
bureau said that it is of the opinion
that for the good of the laval Re-
serve as whole it would be valuable
to call separate conferences, repre-
sentatives of each branch of Re-
servistS, from time to time, to con-
)Sider the needs Of each. The bureau
further considers that the compost
tion of the conference should be de-
termined by the bureau to meet each
occasion as required. For example.
If the subject under discussion should
involve questions of policy in which
other officers are interested, it may be
appropriate to have other than Bureau
of Navigation representatives pres
ent. In all cases where subjects af-
fecting the Merchant Marine Naval
Reserve are concerned a representa-
tive of that branch should be a mem
Der of the conference.
