YOUNGER HEADS BEING PUSHED
 IN ARMY, NAVY
Promotions Made Accord ing to Seniority in
 United States Forces
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan 3. = The purge" of old heads from the Brit ish army council created quite a stir in London = but a system of pushing younger officers into the aigh command i'll the U. $. army and navy has been in vogue these many years.
 For generations the seniority rule aas governed promotion in the Brit ish army. It has had tremendous social and military implications. Now, as part of the British prepar- edness program, the seniority of a number of veteran officers is brush- ed aside by energetic Leslie Hore- Belisha, Secretary Of State for War, while younger officers replace them on the War Council
 In the United States Navy pro- gressive selection system has been in effect about 20 years. In the army advancement is strictly ac- cording to seniority up to the grade of Colonel. Then the selective sys- tenn goes into effect. The Presi- dent, operating through the Secre- tary of War, picks his generals.
