Ends Marines' Row as McReynolds Rules Return for McCawley
A long battle over Marine Corps authority ends with Attorney General McReynolds ruling that the commandant cannot transfer staff officers from Washington. Col Charles McCawley wins the key point, while Col Denny and Col Lauchheimer are drawn into prior disputes. The decision delays Col Waller’s candidacy for commandant and leaves open the appointment process for the top Marine post as Secretary Daniels weighs candidates including Col Barnett and Lieut Col Lejeune amid Philippine questions.
