The proposed amendment to the
Naval Reserve az of 1925 which the
Navy Department has prepared for
the consideration of Congress at the
current session is said to provide for
more liberal benefits for officers and
enlisted men who suffer disability
as a result of the performance Of
active duty or training duty. Gen.
orally speaking, it was said, the rec
concentrations attempt to equalize the
benefits received by the Army Re-
serves and Navy Reserves.
1t also provides that upon mobiliza-
tion officers Of the Reserve will be-
given a higher precedence than pro-
vided for in the present law. Naval
Reserve officers. it was said, will take
precedence with the Regular officers
with half of their length of service
in grade.
The matter which interests the Re-
serves most, 1t was indicated, is that
recommendation which would provide
that the Naval Reserve be represented
in the formulation of all policies and
regulations governing their admin
istration. 1t would provide for the
annual meeting of a Naval Reserve
policy board, at least half of the mem
bers of which would be officers from
the Reserve
How this latter proposal would work
out would be matter for study. Re-
Gently conferd be was held here on
the preparation of the amendments,
and the Naval Reserve officers fought
doggedly for their recommendation
for an assistant secretary for Naval
Reserve and Reserve division in the
Navy Department headed by a Re-
serve officer, but they did not get
far in the department. 1t was the
belief that the Reservists were not
being given proper representation for
their recommendations that brought
about this proposal. In other words,
they said that they did not have in
the department any one who was
charged directly with the duty of look
ing after their interests.
