COMMISSIONS TO
CIVILIANS ANGER
There Will Be Battle in
Congress Next Week to
Stop That Game
BY REX CLANCY
United Press star Correspondent

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Washington, May CU.P) -
The house will have chance next
week to decide whether the army's
practice of commissioning civilians
without military training is "fast
approaching national scandal"
Representatives Charles I. Fadd;s.
D., Pa, said it was and added an
amendment prohibiting the commits
sioning of inexperienced men to the
military service pay bill. 1t was APP
proved by the house military af-
fairs committee and sent to the
house today.
IF there's anything in this whole
war that has disrupted the morale
of the men," said Faddis, "it's the
commissioning of favored men.
There's been a devil of lot of
kicking about it in the country, too.
Il never had liked the system of
reaching out into civilian life and
handing men commissions. I'm sat-
isfied that many men who have
been indicted into the service and
who have enlisted are far more
qualified for commissions than men
who are suddenly pulled out of CIV
ilian life and put in officers uni
forms.
The amendment does not apply
to the Navy, but Fsddis said the
Navy might well inaugurate the
same system He said he had not
discussed the amendment with rep
resentatives of the War Depart
ment.
Indications were that the amend
ment would precipitate consider
able debate in the house when it is
brought up early next week, prob
ably Tuesday. Military Affairs Com
mittee Chairman Andrew j. May
D., KY, declined to reveal the COM
mittee vote on the commission
amendment. Faddis said most of the
directors believed that the pay bill,
which covers the Army, Navy, Mar
inc Corps and other branches OF
governmental service, was not the
place for 1t.
The pay bill would increase the
base pay of all enlisted men from
$2l and $50 month to $42 a month.
All other categories-up to ensigns
in the Navy and second neutenants
in the army-would get base pay in
creases, too.
Faddis' amendment, with a few
exceptions, would prohibit the COM
missioning of civilians in the army
unless they have completed a sat
isfactory course" at West Point An
napolis or other accredited schools:
a university or a college with a re-
serve officers training corps. or COM
pleted the established officers train
ing for enlisted men. Faddis includ-
ed Annapolis because those who have
attended the naval school some-
times are commissioned in the army
The amendment also specified
that regular army commissions
would be issued ROTC officers and
National Guard officers only in time
of war.
The only exemptions Faddis would
make would be for doctors, dentists.

ing.
clark S. Judd, company president,
said that the company's hands are

dispute because Of the turning-over
of the cas( to the WLB.
John ]. Driscoll, executive secre-
tary Of the CLIO. Waterbury Brass
Workers Union, who took part IN
panel service conferences at De-
troit. said that his organization was
awaiting word from the WLB before
deciding on any course Of action.
The United Press reported that
the Detroit Buffalo decis-
ion affected some 3,700 workers,
giving DR.. John r. Steelman, Con-
citation Service director, as author
ity. Mr.. Judd, however, claimed
that almost 5000 workers are az
