Armed Services Seek
To Promote Officers
On 'Up-or-0ut' Basis
BY the Associated Press

Twin moves to speed promotion of
Army and Navy officers on an "up-
or-out" basis, drastically revising the
long established system of seniort-
ties, have been laid before Congress.
For the Army, Secretary of War
Patterson recommended late yester-
day that all future promotions
should be executed on an incentive
basis"-or merit system-instead of
the present mandatory advance
ment by seniority.
For the Navy, a bill was intro
duced in the House calling for a
system of forced promotion which
would create admirals at the aver
age Of SO and quicken promotion in
all ranks. Outstanding officers
could be jumped over their seniors,
but this would not jeopardize the
seniors chances of later promotion.
Would Establish War Ranks.
An immediate effect of the Navy
bill would be to establish as per-
manent nearly all temporary ranks
granted to officers during the war
Navy officials said about 200 cap
tains might be reduced to COM
manders, but no officers are expected
to drop more than one grade. All
Navy promotions have been tempo
rary" since June, 1912, when athe
regular promotion laws were sus-
pended.
The Army's bill followed criticism
by members of Congress against
an Army recommendation that Col
James A. Kilian, central figure in
the Lichheld England prisoner
brutality ease, be granted the per-
manent rank of full colonel. Col
Kilian was convicted by court mar
tial. The proposal to promote him
was based on seniority and was re-
quired by existing law, officials said.
Selection Board Asked.
Brig. Gen. John E. Dahlquist,
chairman of a War Department
committee which drafted the Army
bill, said it would:
/. Create selection boards to re-
view the qualifications of all officers
before their promotion to grades |
higher than first lieutenant.
do not qualify them for promotion.
8. Establish pass over" system,
whereby officers ranking from first
lieutenant to major would be re-
tired or dismissed after juniors had
been promoted over them twice.
4. Apply system of forced at
triton" to officers above the rank
of major, aIanteeing a 20 per
cent turnover annually. Colonels
and brigadier generals with five
years service -in-grade and 80 or
more years total service would be
retired. Major generals with five
years service-in-grade and 35 years
total service would 60 into retire
ment. This would create vacancies
for officers coming up.
Service Requirements.
Gen. Dahlquist said the length
of service-ln-grade to make an Of
flcer eligible for promotion would
be reduced by about one-third in
most cases.
On the Navy side, officials said
the Navy's permanent officer
strength will be built up slowly dur
ing the next 10 years from its pres
ent 27,0OO regulars to the $4,000 ap-
proved by the Budget Bureau.
During the development period,
reserves and temporary officers will
fill in the gap The Navy now has
4,5OO Reserve officers and 5000 tenn
roraru officers

White Indorses Move
For Freedom Book Of
Documents on Train

Senate Majority Leader White to-
day voiced strong general approval
of the proposal to publish in one
volume for public distribution all
of the priceless historic documents
exhibited on the Freedom Train.
st am very much impressed with
the suggestion" said Senator White
Republican, of Maine. Judging
from my own experience, I should
say it would be altogether worth
while"
He plans to present his view tc
the Senate Committee on Rules ano
Administration, which Is consider
ing a resolution introduced by Sen
ator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
wyoming, to authorize the printing
as public document.

Senator White, member Of thu
governing board of Bowdoin College

obtained much information and IN

In more recent years, during nj
Evening star., 1947-12-04

Senate service, he said, he had found
help in this now dog-eared book.
AS to the proposed Freedom Book,
he added, much would depend on
what was included and how the
material was presented.
Exhibits to Be Separated.
In offering his resolution, which
motivated an editorial suggestion
made by The Star, Senator
OMahoney emphasized that many
of the documents included in the
Freedom Train exhibit were under
different custodians and will have
to be returned to a variety of places
when the exhibition ends.
Under the O,Mahoney plan, the
proposed Government publication
would be available at cost to anyone
and also would be available for dis
tribution on request by members OF
Congress.

Court Sets Aside Rise

Freight Car Rentals

UNFOLDING a petition of more than
180 railroads, a three judge statu-
tory court today handed down a
memorandum opinion setting aside
an Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion order that would increase from
$3.50 to 81 day freight car rentals
one railroad would pay another.
The rental concerns payments by
any railroad to another railroad
owning a freight car while the car
Is on the nonoWner's tracks.
Governmental authorities claimed
the increase was desired to speed up
the movement of freight cars during
a shortage.
The statutory court in its men,
orandum opinion declared the ICC
lacked "the statutory power" to
order the increase and said the order
itself was not supported by the
requisite findings OF fact"
In the opinion written by Justice
E. Barrett Prettyman of the Court
Of Appeals the statutory court held
that rentals of freight cars estab-
lished by the commission "are to
be reasonably compensatory for that
use and no more"
The court said further that Com

D. T.. Home Rule Seen
HCitizens Back Plan

The Auchincloss plan can bring

want self-government. Merlo Pusey,
associate editor of The Washington
Post. declared last night before
nearly 100 members of the Washing
ton Chapter, Americans for Demo-
cratic Action.
He told the gathering at the
Church of the Epiphany that a rep
Iresentative central committee of
Outstanding Washingtonians should
be formed to voice the Districts
desire for home rule. Mr.. Pusey
warned that there is danger that
home rule legislation will not pass
without public support. This Is the
best opportunity the District has
had to end its lack of suffrage" he
said.
Clarence M. Pierce, assistant staff
director of the House Home Rule
subcommittee, which prepared the
Auchincloss report. also spoke at last
nights ADA meeting, outlining the
general provisions of the plan and
emphasizing that it is only pre-
liminary report.
Mr.. Pierce urged suggestions and
constructive criticisms concerning
the Auchincloss plan now. while
there is still time to revise it before
it is introduced as a bill in Con-
