D. c. DUE TO ADD
4AT WEST POINT
Proposal for More Appoint.
ments Here Is FavorabIy
Received,

The proposal to add four additional
cadets to the United States Military
Academy. all to be appointed from the
District OF Columbia, is being given
favorable consideration. The addi-
ton OF these cadets would increase
the total authorized strength OF the
Corps Of Cadets at West Point from
1850 to 1854. The reason advanced
for increasing the number OF ap-
pointments allotted to the District of
Columbia Is based on the fact that
under existing law eight States with
an estimated smaller population than
the District of Columbia each has
q total Of nine appointments to the
Military Academy. while the District
has but five. In view of the fact the
allotment OF appointments is based in
general upon population, War Depart
ment authorities feel the increase for
the District would correct an existing
inequality.
