Can't. M(|ntire 10 Get
Jump Promotion
To Rear Admiral
President to Appoint
Physician to Navy
Surgeon General
By ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Capt. Ross T. Mc1ntire, U. S. N.
Medical Corps, who has been White
House physician ever since Presi-
dent Roosevelt assumed Office in
1888. will be given Jump" pro-
motion to Surgeon General of the
Navy, succeeding Rear Admiral
Perceval Rossiter, it was learned
definitely here today. Admiral Ros-
sitter retires from active service to-
morrow.
On the basis of reports from
Warm Springs, Ga, where Presi-
dent Roosevelt is enjoying a brief
vacation. to the effect that Dr.
McIntire would be given this pro-
motion, 1t was learned in Washing
ton this morning that the matter
l. all settled and that the Presi-
dent will appoint his personal ply
sician to this high Office within
the next day or so.
Entered Service in 1916.
DR.. McIntire, who entered the
naval service in 1916 as a lieutenant,
junior grade, now holds the actual
rank of commander, but also has the
courtesy rank Of captain due to his
assignment to the White House. To
receive this elevation it will be nee
essary for Dr. McIntire to be pro-
NOTED over the heads of half dozen
captains who outrank him. This
group includes Capt. Edgar Woods,
who had been mentioned for the
post.
The appointment to Surgeon Cen
eral would automatically promote
the White House physician to rear
admiral, a rank he would hold
throughout his term of service at the
head OF the Medical Corps.
President Roosevelt's action in
jumping" this medical officer over
the heads of others outranking him
recalls the similar action of Presi-
dent Wilson when he promoted Ca>y
T. Grayson, his personal physician,
to the rank of rear admiral in the
Medical Corps, elevating him over
many officers senior to him. DR..
Grayson was only lieutenant COM
nlander at the time, and the promo
ton caused a stir in naval circles,
resulting in a bitter fight in the
Senate over the Grayson conf1rma-
ton. However. President Wilson's
action was finally approved.
President Roosevelt's promotion
of DR.. McIntire is understood to be
due to his high esteem for DR.. Nc
Intires fitness and experience.

Ickes Is Sought
As Mayor of
Chicago
By the Associated Press.

Aides said today that Secretary
of the Interior Ickes had been ap-
preached several times within the
last few days by Chicagoans who
wanted him to run for mayor of
their city next year.
The Secretary's callers, they said,
came as individuals and not as

Ickes had nothing to say on the
matter.
He would not disclose the identity
of his visitors, but close associates
said they represented labor and
what were termed reform interests
If Secretary Ickes ran for mayor,
these informants said, 1t might be
in an effort to concilate various
liberal elements which have been
disaffected by the political wars
between the Kelly-Nash municipal
organization and the Horner State
Democratic organization.
However, they added, Mayor Ed

Failure of the Federal Govern
ment to pay proper" share Of the
expenses of the District government
was criticized today by Harry N.
Stull, first vice president of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, at a
hearing before the Commissioners
Advisory Committee on Taxation on
its suggested four-point program for
improving the municipal tax struc-
ture.
He declared if the United States
Government increased its present
lump-sum payment of $4,000, 900
year to fair and equitable"
amount, there would be no need of
new tax program designed to pro-
duce additional revenue for the
operation and maintenance Of the
District government.
Mr.. Stull also denounced the sug-
gestion made to the committee yes
terday by Rufus S. Lusk, president
of the Washington Taxpayers As
sociation, that the gasoline tax be
raised 2 cents, and the additional
revenue consigned to the general
fund to Offset an anticipated a.
100000 general fund deficit in the
next fiscal year. In addition, he
recommended enactment of statutory
legislation that would not permit
the Commissioners to fix a real
estate tax rate in excess of $1.75.
Opposes Gas Tax Division.
Mr. Stull, appearing for L. A. Car
ruthers, federation president, who is
a member of the Advisory Commit
tee, told the committee the fedora
ton is vigorously opposed to diver
sion of the gasoline tax fund, and
that it proposed $175 shelf on real
estate taxes because real estate al
ready is bearing proper share Of
the tax burden.
Mr.. Stull, however, carefully
avoided discussing the committees
four-point program, explaining that
the federation had not yet taken
action on it. The Executive Commit
tee Of the organization, he ex-
planned, had considered the pro-
gram, but is divided over some of
its controversial features.
I'VE prefer to reserve our opinions
until some future time" he said.
1--WE appreciate the gravity and the
Importance & the situation, and will
make every effort to be helpful to
the committee"
A deadline of December Is, prob
ably will be fixed for the Fedora
tion's report.
Retail Sales Tax Hit.
Other witnesses today, however,
continued to assault various features
of the four-point program, one of
them denouncing a retail sales tax,
and several advocating a graduated
income tax in lieu of the combina-
ton non-wage, non-salary income
retail sales tax suggested by the
committee.
