High Priority Rating
Given Materials for
Military Uniforms
Industry Operations Chief
Issues Order Covering
All Fubrics Needed

To make certain that the hum
dreds Of young men now coming
out of officer candidate schools and
that officers now serving with the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps and
other war agencies will be able to
obtain uniforms, the director OF in
dustry operations has issued an
order granting high priority rating
for cloth and other materials needed
for the manufacture of such gar
ments.
The order applies to all types of
fabrics used in the official uniforms
of all the agencies covered by the
order. Uniforms included are for
the Army, Navy. Marine Corps,
Coast Guard, United States Military
and Naval Academies and training
school students, Maritime Commits
sion, Coast and Geodetic Survey,
Public Health Service. Women's
Army Auxiliary Corps and any SIM
liar Navy organization and the Army
Specialist Corps.
Steps are being taken to permit
the promotion of officers OF the
Medical Administrative Corps OF the
Regular Army. At present of1cers
Of the corps may not be promoted
to any grade above that OF captain
The controller general has held
that. while the President may pro-
mote an officer of the Medical Ad-
ministrative Corps to any grade In
the Army under existing law, section
10 of the National Defense Act does
not provide for any grade in that
corps above captain. The War De
partment believes the existing law
sufficiently broad to permit the pro-
motion and pay of Medical Admin
istrative Corps officers in the higher
grades. but is forced to take steps
to offset the controllers ruling.
Although the War Department
probably could commission officers
from civil life in the Army without
regard to branch, and thereby side
step the ruling, it is believed ad-
visable to give an opportunity for
promotion to experienced ofhcers
now holding commissions in the
Medical Administrative Corps. There
officers cannot under the present
Interpretation of the law draw the
pay of any grade above that OF
captain.
