Promotions Stir Conflicts.
Navy promotions are a fruitful
source of conflict. Not only has the
Navy not cut back its officers of flag
rank since the war ended but it has
created about so more. This is in
the face OF an over all reduction in
its ranks from 319,178 at the peak
vi day-to 1929. The Navy
answers that it was undermined
during the war, that the promotions
are temporary, that the new ad-

retire.

President Truman's relations with
the Navy are rapidly assuming the
proportions of an old-fashioned,
shooting from -the-hip feud.
The President is frankly looking
around for Secretary of the Navy
who will support his proposal for
merger Of the services into a single
department and bring the admirals
into line with the White House. The
admirals, who apparently find it diff
f1cult to conceive that the President
is in earnest, having been staging
their own variety OF sit-down strike.
The contest of wills has erupted
not only In the search for a success
sor to Secretary Forrestal but in a
row over the Navy budget. the pro-
posed atom bomb tests and Navy
promotions.
Navy influence, the White House
Is aware. helped to defeat Edwin w.
Pauley for Undersecretary, a blow
to his prestige resented by Mr.. Tru-
man. With Mr.. Pauley out of the
way. Navy circles put forth Admiral
King, their wartime boss, as a pos
stbility. They should have known
better. Mr.. Truman had already
indicated Admiral King never would
be missed by him. In announcing
the promotions to Gen. Eisenhower
and Admiral Nimitz, Mr.. Truman
lauded retiring Gen. Marshall to
the skies. For Admiral Nimitz' pred
ecessor he had merely monosyllables.
Darden, Kennedy Out.
Also out are two suggestions
emanating from Capitol Hill -
backed by Senators who have not
been fighting any notable battles for
the Truman program One, Joseph
P. Kennedy of Boston, was already
Objectionable to Mr.. Truman for
having refused to help out on two
jobs OF less than cabinet rank. Sec
retary Forrestals choice, former
Gov. Darden Of Virginia, did not
stack up as the man to handle the
admirals.
A row over the Navy budget be-
came public property when Admiral
Nimitz proclaimed that cutback
by the Bureau of the Budget, a.
White House arm, would seriously
impair Navy plans. Mr.. Truman
rebuked Admiral Nimitz by infer
ence at his press conference.
What the President did not at
this time add publicly was his feel
ing that the Navy is not profiting
by the lessons of airpower, but Is
bulling ahead with battleships and
aircraft carriers that are obsolescent
before they hit the blueprints.
In general, the President opposes
extensive budgets until the merger
of the forces is decided He is

A two-day carnival arranged by
five Brookland boys in backyards
of the 5000 block of Tenth street
NE. closed last night with $86 on
hand for the Children's Hospital
fund.
When the last penny had been
picked from the cashiers cigar box
the eyes of the youthful conspira-
tors bugged out.
Man, oh man." said one. How'd
we get THAT much!'
The boys had been working hard
on the carnival idea all week-work-
Ing hard, as the neighborhood
which turned out nearly 200-strong
testified last night.
They had painted and posted a
dozen signs at strategic points in
the area. "Carnival-This Way"
and a scrawled urgent arrow was
the legend on the posters.
All week, Walter Clarke, IL. his
brother, Paul, 6, and three COM
panions, Thomas Hayden, II, Jackie
Grady, 10, and Arthur Levy, 9, had
secured the neighborhood for equip
ment. They obtained orange crates
for chairs. Mothers were prevailed
on to dig old tables from their back
rooms. Parents, friends and store
keepers had no peace until they
volunteered gifts to be raffied off at
the rate of three chances for 10
cents.
A dart board was unearthed. Gus
toners received three darts for a
dime and won no prize unless they
performed the difficult feat of scor-
ing between 36 and 10 points.

Jam Of Applications
And Hordships on
Workers Are Cited

Nearly 10000 applications for
patents are now awaiting study by
patent examiners and many in
ventors are forced to wait more
than a year for official examination
of their devices as a result of the
division of Patent Office functions
between Washington and Richmond
the Patent Office Society charged
yesterday.
In letter to the entire member
ship of patent examiners compris-
ing the society, members were urged
to help "in every proper way" to
bring about consolidation of all
units of the Patent Office in Wash
ington. Thirty-seven examining di-
visions, including 370 employees, were
sent to Richmond during the war,
the communicat ton pointed out,
leaving 80 examining divisions here
The letter charges that the trans
ferred employees repeatedly have
been promised they would be re-
turned to the District no later than
July l this year.
Divided Setup Blamed.
THE present desperate condition
of the Patent Office stems primar-
lily from splitting of the Office be-
tween Washington and Richmond"
the society spokesman declared
Terming the present split "wasteful
and inefficient" the communication
asserts the only reason given by Of
ficials for failure to facilitate the
return to Washington was lack of
available office space"
AS a result of the announced plan
to return the 370 wartime emf
grants by July l, 1916, the COM
munication continued, many work
ers sold their homes and moved
their families to Washington while
others made provisions to rent
homes here.
Employees in Quandary.
The note maintains that en-
ployeS are now in a quandry be-
cause Richmond landlords are re-
luctant to rent to persons who may
soon be leaving the city. AS a re-
suit of these conditions, the letter
says, it is becoming increasingly diff
ficult to obtain suitable help to re-
place those who are leaving the
agency and it is impairing the
morale of those in the Richmond
office.
The communication points out
that the Patent Offices original
space, taken over by the Maritime
Commission during the war, is still
held by that agency and that sub
stitute office space has not been
provided by the Public Buildings
and Grounds Commission.
