So a year, So of which are de-

was more than 5000 in the treasury
to the credit of the national asso-
citation.
During the meeting 1t. H. B. At
kinson, national director, reported
on the results of his unsuccessful
efforts to have the national body
continue to function Officers at
the Navy Department were quoted
as saying there was a real need for
the national body to function. In
view Of the report of 1t. Atkinson.
it was decided no more efforts would
be made to have the national asso-
clifton function.
Officer Discharges Studied.
One matter which requires atten-
ton OF the association. it was said
is the discharge of reserve officers
from commissions because they hold
civilian positions in the Navy De-
partment. The practice. it was
said, is not uniform in all of the
bureaus. There is hope that the
bureaus affected might be prevailed
on to change their practice and re-
store the officers to their commits
sions.
An orderly system of promotion
for Naval Reserve officers has been
provided by the Navy Department in
new regulations which went into
effect July l. 1t is claimed these
will prevent officers from being given
promotions out of line, while others
are kept in their status.
The new regulations provide for
a form of selection. such as is in
effect in the regular blishment.
Promotions will be made from the
rank Of ensign to lieutenant. junior
grade, in the regular course, but the
next and future promotions to high
er grade must be made only on the
recommendation and approval of
the Selection Board.
Under the system. reserve Of
ficer will be assigned a running mate
of the regular establishment, and
when the officer is called before a
Selection Board his reserve run
ming mate also will be called before
Reserve Board. A reserve officer
will be assigned a running mate
with a regular officer who had half
the time in the rank. 1t was ex-
planned a reserve junior lieutenant
who has three years of service will
be assigned running mate of a
regular Junior lieutenant who has
one and one-half years of service
in that grade.
