Army Promotes 135

Temporary CoIoneIs
Officers, Advanced
On Merit, Will Not

Bv NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.

Rewards for demonstrated per-
formance" were given to 135 lieu
tenant colonies of the Regular
Army today in the form of promo
tions to the Temporary grade of
colonel. They will not receive eX-
tra pay.
They constituted the second list
of lieutenant colonies passed on by
Army Selection Boards since early
summer, when 214 were similarly
promoted as result of the emer-
gency. Selections were based not
only on individual performance rec
ords, it was explained at the War
Department, but also in line with
the policy to equalize grade and
responsibility
The need for these mass promo
tions is evident. Since the start of
the emergency the United States
Army has expanded five times its
1910 strength. This has created a
need for approximately 1900 Army
colonies.
Further Promotions Needed.
officials said there were $50 colo
nels in the Regular Army last June.
To these have been added the 214
temporary colonies in the first large
promotion list. The need for fur
ther promotions is urgent in view
of the fact that now about 400 lieu
tenant colonies of the line are per-
forming the duties of colonies,
mostly as regimental commanders.
OF the new colonels three are
Air Corps officers who already held
the temporary grade Of colonel but
were included in the list to protect
their rank. They are Robert

What Other Editors Have
To Say
SCORCHED FINGERS
(Bellingham, Wash, Herald)


A deputy governor of the Farm
Credit Administration says: Il
don't know what is going to happen
to agriculture after the war-and l
don't think anyone else does"
He offers as guess" however,
that the farmer who extends on
speculative basis ''is due for an
awful headache little later add
ing that 1.-The same statement might
apply to a good many other lines
than agriculture.
During the "other" war specula-
ton in farm lands differed in de-
gree only from the type of stock
speculation which ended in the great
bust of 1929. Thousands of farmers
over-extended, only to find them
, selves bankrupt when the piper
called for his pay.
World War II has not encouraged
speculation in any considerable
scale, primarily for the reason that
farm prices have been low-plus
the paucity of ready money, plus
the vagrant memories of burned fin
gers twenty odd years ago.
While nobody can forsee the
trend of agriculture's future, very
marked spirit of caution prevails.
That is all to the good.
