Naval Academy May
Get More Middies

In an effort to assist in getting
fully trained officers by the time
many Of the proposed new vessels
are ready for commissioning, Chair
man Vinson of the House Naval
Affairs Committee has introduced
a bill which would permit the Presi-
dent to appoint to the Naval Acade-
my all youths who have qualified,
both mentally and physically. for
entrance to the academy this year,
but were prevented from entering
because of lack of vacancies. This,
1t is understood, would include al
ternates for congressional appoint
ments.
There also are scores of Naval
Reservists throughout the country
who were successful in passing the
tests and who were unable to OBJ
tain appointments, although quail
fled, becauses of the limitation on
numbers The Naval Reserve is
permitted to have so appointments
each year, and, in addition, receives
vacancies not filled by the Regular
Navy from it's enlisted ranks. The
regular service is allocated 100 ap-
pointments. However. it was said
that even with those obtained from
the Navy there are scores of Naval
Reservists who would be benefited
by the Vinson legislation because
they have passed all the tests. Not
few of them, If not appointed
this year, would forever be precluded
from reaching the naval school be-
cause of age limitations on appoint
ment.
The proposed legislation would
bring the total of 1910 entrants to
the naval school to 1000, and 1t
was explained that If this total were
kept up for four years, by the time
the greater part of the naval pro-
gram of ships were of the ways and
in commission there would be a
chance of having well-trained Of
ficers ready for sea duty to man
these ships. In the meantime, the
billets for commissioned officers are
expected to be filled by such Reserve
officers as find it possible to give
up their civilian employment to vol
unteer for active duty, and by the
product of the forced draft" classes
Of ensigns which now are being
conducted by the Navy, starting in
with shipboard training, following
which the young men If found to
be apt for the service are appointed
midshipmen and then given an in
tensive period of training ashore
leading to commissions as ensigns.
However, these men must have had
two years of college training, as a
basis for taking the forced draft"
courses. Those who are sent to the
Naval Academy for the full four
year course, in most instances, have
had only high school training.
