consists of well over $4,000 motor
vessels, large proportion of
which are capable of work on the
high seas anywhere in the Pacific

2786 and H, r. 1851 to provide for
retirement pay of officers of the
Army who are retired for physical
disability while holding temporary
rank higher than their normal rank
in the components of the Army of
the United States. Rejection by the

officers of the Army of the United

Introduction of the legislation was
held up for several days due to the
fact that the War Department con-

the terms of the legislation. In
