The purpose of this War Department-sponsored law is to eliminate the need for formal expression of acceptance of promotion to higher grade bv officers of the Army of the United States or any components thereof so promoted after December 7. 1941. In addition this law eliminates the need for renewal by such officers of the oath of office required by law if service after the taking of such oath shall have been continuous.^ The controller general of the United States has handed down several decisions of varying service interest. In a decision affecting many hundreds of enlisted men of the Army who elected to Join the Regular Army Reserve at the expiration of their enlistments, the controller ruled that “prior inactive service in the Regular Army Reserve. established by the act of August 25, 1938, may not be counted by an enlisted man thereof, on active duty, in computing his longevity pay under section 9 of the Pay Readjustment Act of 1942.’*Two Concerts ScheduledThe United states Marine Band concert schedule for the coming w?ek Includes two performances.
