Mrs. Hartman, now in her late

changing world. She liked Norway
for the simplicity and true democracy
of its people. She notes with satisfac-
tion an increasing simplicity and un-
pretentiousness in this country also,
especially among the favored ones of
the younger generation. "On the

granddaughter gets the family meals
and likes it. That is the way things
should be-"
In Norway, hospitality is simple

Temporary Rank
Promotions for
Navy Provided
Legislation Also
Makes Provision
For Reservists

In the midst of preparations for
the national defense, including get
ting ready for the construction of
the ships of the two-ocean navy and
the task of manning them with
trained personnel, problems involv-
ing promotions are beginning to
loom up large. Members of Con-
gress have reported on the floor
that they have complaints from ma
rine and naval reserve officers re-
garding alleged determinations in
promotions.
1t appears, according to a state
ment of Representative Dingell,
that the old guard of the Navy has
presumed to advance over the heads
of some naval and marine corps re-
serve officers, younger or junior Of
ficers and has disregarded the
claims of the officers in that par
ticular group. Legislation just
passed is ready for Presidential sig
nature. 1t provides for promotions
of naval and marine corps reserve
officers on a temporary basis. in the
same manner as promotions for the
regulars.
The bill generally provides for
promotions to temporary rank of
certain officers However, it was
shown that there were still vacancies
in some of the staff corps for perma-
nent promotions, and which places
had been left open by the selection
boards. Efforts were made to amend
the bill to prohibit any temporary
promotions in any corps until all of
the permanent assignments of rank
had been filled. The point was made
that. without the amendment, it
would be possible to fill these places
with temporary ranking officers who
would be selected from among those
junior to the men who ordinarily
would be entitled to promotion. The
number of vacancies in the supply
corps alone, it was said is about so.
In connection with the gap in
the supply corps, the suggestion was
made that promotions had been de-
MED some officers there, because of
antipathy developed to their rulings.
1t was pointed out that these men
are the business administrative Of
ficers of the Navy and that at times
their rigid enforcement of business
principles invites the antagonism OF
some of the line officers. 1t is the
: hope of Congress that the legisla-
ton will halt some of the complaints
regarding promotions.
Under other legislation the Navy
will be permitted to have nine more
temporary vice admirals.
