Army Engineers Spark Turmoil Over Expansion Plans
Washington reports growing agitation in the military over proposed increases to the Army Engineer corps. Officers from cavalry and field artillery oppose the move, arguing it civilianizes engineers and severs them from the military establishment. A House bill would add officers and vacancies, while a Senate committee signals possible support. A new proposal from Representative Slayden envisions a public works branch under Commerce and Labor using many engineers, risking their place in the Army.
