Dear Editor:
We Of the l94S Red Feather
Community Chest Campaign
wish TO thank you for the
very fine cooperation which
you have given TO the Req
Feather during the entire fall
season.
Never has the coverage OF
what the Chest and its l25
Red Feather agencies have
been doing been so complete.
Prior to the drive in October,
during the campaign, and af-
ter the close Of the drive last
month the space that you gave
TO the work of the Chest has
been large.
l think that everyone who
knows what the Chest is and
what work is being done by
the Red Feather agencies, ap-
proves Of the busineSslike
methods Of raising money and
the very real need for that
money. AS long as purlica-
tions like yours continue to
inform the public of what the
Chest is, we can continue TO
support our Red Feather
agencies.
Although we did not reach
100 per cent of our goal we
did reach 97.8 per cent?
percentage which exceeds the
average for other Community
Chests in the nation. In adj.
dition, Greater Detroit raised
more money for its local So
cicl service agencies than has
ever before been raised in its
history.
Again let me thank you, for
myself, the campaign organi.
cation Of 10000 volunteers
and the hundreds of thousands
Of our citizens who use REQ

your assistance in putting the

The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1948-12-18

The one cogent reason which
may be urged for his advance
ment, without regard to SEN
iority and age, is the fact
that he is the commanding
officer of the Lockbourne Air
Force Base. Other officers
holding corresponding COM
mands are colonies or brig
adler generals.
II appears. however, that
the Personnel Act of l947. is
the controlling factor. Prior
10 its enactment, promotion in
the Army was based on sem
iority alone, which resulted
in some officers OF dubious
ability being promoted when
they were reached within the
normal course OF time. Unde-
sirable officers or those UNI
worthy OF promotion could
not be eliminated except by
drastic board action.
The l947 act provides that
unqualified officers will be
eliminated before they adj
vance from one grade 10 an
otner. II also provides an ac-
celebrated promotion plan and
for forced attrition at the
top. which will remove older
officers and permit more
Uniform flow of promotion
than was possible under the
archaic system of promotion
which the Army abandoned.
OFFICERS SEGREGATED
Officers. Of the Air Force,
under the act, are segregated
and carried on an Air Force
promotion list. Numbers IN
grades below general-officer
grade and in general-office
grade for each promotion list
are prescribed by strength
percentages. Thus. the Air
Force is salloted l95 brigadier
generals. II has that number.
Under the l947 law, Off
GERS in order OF seniority,
who are recommended by Sc
lection boards for promotion
TO grades of captain, major
and lieutenant colonel, may
be promoted to fill vacancies
IN the numbers authorized in
each Of these grades on each
promotion list. Officers in or
der OF seniority who are
recommended by selection
boards. however, are promoted
10 captain on completion OF
seven years service TO major
on completion OF fourteen
years service. and TO lieuten-
ant colonel on completion Of
twenty -one years service. ev-
en- though the authorized per-
centages in those grades are
exceeded by their promotion.
In this manner there is re-
tanned the old system Of pro-
noting up TO and including
the grade OF lieutenant colonel
upon completion of specified
numbers OF years service but
the new system includes the
provision that no officer is 10
be promoted above the grade
Of first lieutenant unless he
is recommended for promo
ton by a selection board.
Officers in the grade OF
first lieutenant. captain or ma
Jor. who fail two consecutive
times of recommendations by
a selection board for promo
ton to the next higher grade
are eliminated from the active
list and either retired or sep
arated, depending on years OF
service with which credited
al the time OF elimination.
Those not eligible for retire
ment are given a severance
allowance.

iency. :"
The law on its face appears
to be eminently fair. How il
will be administered by the
armed forces remains 10 be
seen. In the past, colored
Army officers have too often
found themselves in dead
ends.
In the case OF Colonel Da-
Wis. there is no question about
his efficiency. At 80 years Of
age he holds the temporary
rank OF a full colonel and
the permanent rank of lieu
tenant colonel. He graduated
from the United States Mill
tary Academy in 1886. the
Infantry School at Fort Ben
ning Irregular course) in 1888,
and the Air Corps Advance
Flying School in 1912.
His promotions In perna-
nent grade in the Regular
Army and the Air Force have
been in accordance with exist
ing law In temporary grades,
he was promoted to captain
Sept. 8, 1910. to major and
to lieutenant colonel on the
same day-March /. 1872
and to colonel August /, 1914.
He has been awarded the
Silver Star. the Legion Of
Merit and the Distinguished
Flying Cross.
In accordance with the law,
there is every reason 10 be-
lieve that Colonel Davis Will
rise to brigadier general and
then major general. Mean
while, the thing 10 do Is 10
plug for inteEration in the
Air Force and insist upon
equal opportunity for produc-
ton and advancement OF all
officers.
