S5,475,O00 Sought
For Improvements
At Naval Academy
Auditorium, Field House
And More Quarters for
Officers Are Wanted

The Navy plans to request i'm
provements to the Naval Academy
totaling at least s5.475,000 in the
1943 appropriations, it was disclosed
with publication of the report of the
Academy Board of Visitors yester-
day.
The Improvements include $4,000
600 for an auditorium, S1.250,000
for a field house, and 81 ,200.0 900 for
quarters for officers, accessories and
services.
The boards report gave emphatic
approval of the academy's high
entrance requirements despite the
urgent need for officers and the
consequent temptation to increase
the quantity of the output at the
expense of the quality" 1t also
gave almost blanket approval of the
general educational policies of the
institution, saying that in behalf
of the board. the training repre-
sents a satisfactory solution to the
problem of providing career officers
for the fleet
Faculty Salaries Discussed.
Rear Admiral Russell Wilson,
Academy superintendent, had noted
in his report to the board that many
suggestions had been made regard
ing the Academy curriculum. includ-
ing abolishment of the undergrad
uate school and the changing Of
the Academy into postgraduate
institution. Report of the board
approves present practices.
The board recommended that in
selection of candidates to the Acad-
emy, members of Congress name
their four candidates and that the
Navy Department select the princi-
pal. However, the board acknowl-
edged the existence of authority of
members of Congress to designate
the succession of candidates.
The board also recommended i'm
provement in salary and tenure con-
ditions for civilian members of the
faculty. lowering of the beginning
salary and raising of the top salaries.
Permanent tenure was recommended
for persons on the force 10 years
or longer.
Field House Urged.
The S2,0O0000 for an auditorium
would provide structure to seat
5000 persons, according to recon-
mendation of Admiral Wilson. This
would make it possible to assemble
the regiment of midshipmen under
one roof. The board specifically
recommended construction of the
auditorium.
Quarters for officers costing ST.
100000 is to be requested because
there are at present quarters for
less than so per cent of the officers
attached to the Academy, it was said.
The present field house is "abso-
lutely inadequate" for the present
force of midshipmen, the superin-
tendent said in his report to the
board in which intention to ask for
the 81 l,250000 field house was an
nOunced.
Other improvements for which
requests will be made next year
are: Hospital. s11OOO0 postgrad-
uate school, $240,000; new bridge
over Dorsey Creek, $45,OOO, and
purchase of land for auditorium
site, $225,000.

Voters generally showed about as
much interest in the campaign as a

More interest is being shown in
what may happen after the new

The new preventive is an injec-

The toxoid, which has long
