ARMY AND NAVY NEWS From The Tribune Bureau
The April dispatch reports on several military topics. Signal officers tested a European telephoto camera on balloon flights but found it unwieldy and prone to blur due to balloon movement, prompting calls for a smaller device and later enlargement. Naval libraries face cuts. officers urge restoration to prior levels. The Senate omits a modest library funding for the Surgeon General, seen as a loss for medical literature. Navy ordnance depots include a land survey for Tufts Point and other tracts offered, with no purchases decided now. Chief warrant officers seek pay justice, as promotions to chief warrant status reduce pay for several years despite increased duties.
