Navy Plans TO Run
Academy on 3-Year
Basis in Emergency
Cut in Course Time

Of Appointees

The Navy Department proposes to
operate the Naval Academy on a
three-year basis for the duration of
the emergency, beginning. with the
class of 1943, which will be grad
uated one year early, according to
testimony given the Senate by Rear
Admiral Chester Nimitz, chief of
the Bureau of Navigation, it was
revealed today.
graduating MidShipmen will be as
signed to feet units instead of max
ing the regular summer cruises.
The reduction in the course time
has the effect of increasing the num-
ber of appointees to the Academy
Congress. Reserve officers are being
called to active duty to augment the
regular naval officer staff, the tes-
timony revealed.
However, it was not disclosed how
long the curtailed program would
remain in effect.
Steps Are Initiated.

to graduate the class of 1912 in Feb
ruary, 1912 We proposed to grad
uate the class of 1943 in June of
1912 and then for two, three or four
years, depending on the duration
of this emergency, we proposed to
have three-year courses. That will
require the sanction of Congress and
the necessary steps have been initi-
ated," Admiral Nimitz said.
At the hearing, Senator Holman,
Republican, of Oregon asked:
But may I ask if the boys grad
uated are not handicapped? They
certainly cannot curtail the course
six months or year and still get
the benefits that they would get
in a four years course"
To this, Admiral Nimitz replied:
"They are handicapped by having
their Christmas leave cut and hav-
ing their cruises cut and shortened
somewhat"
Academic Loss Slight.
Senator Holman: II mean their
mental preparation"
Admiral Nimitz: "They lose lit
tie bit of academic work, but it is
not in proportion to reduction of the
course. They do not lose one-quar-
ter, but by short cuts here and there
we believe that three-year course
will be the equivalent of three
and-One -half-year course we will
say"
Senator Holman: will they have
an opportunity after graduation to
make up what they have lost in their
regular schooling?"
Admiral Nimitz: Eyes, sir; like
every other officer. He comes to
scratch about once every seven years
to pass an examination. But during
the duration of this emergency we
are canceling promotional examina-

Mediation Board
Has A. F. |. Approval,
Roosevelt Informed
Green at White House;
Understands Aeency's
Bosis Will Be Voluntary

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
brought to President Roosevelt to-
day the approval of his organiza-
ton for creation of a new emer-
gency labor mediation board
Invited to the White House to be
informed of details of the plan
agreed on by Government labor ad-
visers, the A. F. of L. chieftain
told the President the Federation's
Executive Council had approved
such an instrument at its recent
meeting in Miami.
With an executive order creating
the agency expected early next week,
the President planned to confer in
the meantime with leaders of the
other wing of organized American
labor, the Congress Of Industrial Or
ganizations.
Understands Basis Voluntary.
AS he left the White House today
Mr.. Green told reporters he under
stood the proposed agency would
have full mediation powers but
would operate on a voluntary basis
rather than on a compulsory arbitra-
ton. The A. F. L. has favored this
arrangement.
Under the plan as now contenl-
plated, Mr.. Green said the President
will have full authority to designate
an 11-member board, to represent
labor, 4 management and the gen.
eral public. In the World War Medi-
alton Board, the President was re-
quired to nominate labor and man
agement representatives recon-
mended to him by the conflicting
parties to the dispute.
Under present plans, the emer-
gency agency would be entirely a
mediation instrument and would
concern itself only with major in
terruptionS or strike threats in de-
fense industries. 1t would be an in
dependent agency, but as means of
integrating its functions with those
of existing governmental labor
agencies, it is planned to have it
enter disputes only after prelimi-
nary investigation by the Concilia-
ton Service of the Labor Depart
ment and certiflcation of the case
by that department to the new
board.
The names of Bernard Baruch,
New York financier; Lloyd Stark,
former Democratic Governor of
Missouri; william Davis, former
chairman of the New York State
Mediation Board, and Lloyd Gar
rison, dean of the Wisconsin Uni
versity Law School, were mentioned
in speculation as possible selections
for public representatives.
