NAVY PROPOSES
TRAINING SETUP
FOR CIVILIANS
Would Enroll $500,
Mostly From Schools

UN.S). The Navy will urge the
next session of Congress to author
ize a comprehensive civilian naval
training program, Senate sources
disclosed today.
Designed tc parallel the civilian
training program of the Army, in
existence since 1915, the Navy's
proposal would call for an annual
enrolment of $500 young men
who would be given intensive train
ing ashore and afloat as embryo
officers.
WOULD ENROLL $500
The program was outlined in a
letter from the Navy Department
to both the Senate and House
Naval Affairs committees.
"It is planned to enroll $500
young men, 500 of whom would
be college Sophomores, during
the fiscal year Of 1885," the de-
partment wrote.
THE cost of the first year Of
training would be approximately
$99,425 for 500 college sophie
mores, and $190,666 for 1000
young men of high school age.
WOULD GET NO PAY
1.-The civilians would receive
no pay while performing this
duty, but would be furnished
transportation, subsistence, cloth
ing, bedding and shelter during
the training period.
Training under the proposed
legislation would be confined
largely to young men of high
school age and college students.
Their training would be con-
Quoted during the months of
July and August. 1t is planned
that each summers period would
constitute As days"
$50 PER MAN COST
High school students would re.
ceive practically the same inStruc,
tions and training given recruit
in the regular Navy. After a sec.
ond summer of training duty, q
selected few would be given a third
period and encouraged to enlist in
the Naval Reserve.
Naval officials said non-recur.
ring costs necessary to inaugurate
the program would cut the average
cost after the initial year to ap
proximately $50 a man.
