Congress May Forbid
Permanent Boost for
Officers During War
By the Associated Press.

Postwar reorganization of the
Army on a merit-promotion
basis was proposed today by
the Senate Military Affairs Com
n,lttee as it received legislation
which would halt all permanent
advancement in officers ranks
during the war.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, acting chairman in the alb
sence of Senator Reynolds, Demo-
crat, Of North Carolina, said the
committee would be called on to ex-
anime the Army's organization with
view to eliminating a repetition
OF the hump that developed In
the promotion line after the last
war.
The Army should be placed on a
basis where promotions will be made
on merit and not alone on senior
lty,' Senator Thomas told a report
er. Il think we have something to
learn from the Germans in their
recognition of leadership in building
up Lnelr army"
Many Forced to Wait.
Senator Thomas said that if nu-
merous promotions in permanent
rank are made now, a situation may
develop such as existed after the
last war, when deserving officers
were forced to wait years for ad-
Vancement because so many older
men remained in the service When
the Army was reduced to peacetime
size.
Senator Thomas said provision
should be made for retention in
higher ranks Of officers promoted
over their seniors because of un-
usual ability.
The man who has earned a
temporary promotion to brigadier
general and has proved his worth
in that post ought not to be DROP
ped to major when the war is over"
he observed.

Missouri, who joined with Senators
Wallgren, Democrat, of Washing
