Reviyinq Commodore Rank

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has approved
legislation creating the grade of
commodore in the Navy and au-
thorizing temporary appointments
to that rank.
He also signed Yesterday bills Civ
ing officers of the Navy. Marine
Corps and Coast Guard authority to
act as notaries public for service
men, and authorizing the sale of
naval supplies at naval stations and
post exchanges to civilian officers
and employees and other persons
where purchase from private sgen-
cies is found to be impracticable.
Mr.. Roosevelt's signature, in effect,
restores the rank of commodore to
the Navy after period of more
than 40 years. The rank has not
been used since shortly after the
close of the Spanish American War.
Secretary Of the Navy Knox request
ed that the rank be established
because there are a great many
small command" posts which, while
not needing an officer of the au-
thority of rear admiral, does need
one of flag rank.
