In . 1938, ' Lt. Commander Clar ence " V .Conlon, aged 39. was "passed over' by the Selection Board . as unfit for promotion. Conlon was then commanding the gunboat Monocacy on the Yang- te River, -coping . with Chinese mines and marauders on - the surface and Japanese bombers in the air. So well did Conlon carry out his delicate mission that on the recommendation of Admiral Harry Har-ry E. Yarnell. then commander of the Asiatic Fleet, he was awarded award-ed the Navy Cross for distinguished distinguish-ed service. Thus it happened that a few months after the Selection Board of brass-hats, sitting in Washington, had ruled him unfit for promotion and thereby marked mark-ed him down for retirement. Conlon, Con-lon, 6,000 miles away on the firing line, was being decorated for "exceptional personal courage, cour-age, a high degree of leadership and signal administrative ability in commanding his slup under trying circumstances . . . While the anomaly of decorating decor-ating for distinguished service a man who had been "passed over" by the Selection Board may not have seemed strange to the brass-hats, brass-hats, it did to Secretary Edison. He ordered a special Selection Board to reconsider Conlon'a case. This time Conlon was pronounced "best fitted" for promotion and raised to the rank of Commander. NOTE: Interrogated about the Navy promotion system by a House committee. Rear Admiral Chester Nlmitz, chief of the Bureau Bu-reau of Navigation, admitted, "I do not attempt to deny In any way that competent officers are being retired through the selec tion system." The committee also brought out that of 140 officers who had been dropped by the Selective Board and recently recalled re-called to active duty, only 13 had been retired on physical grounds. FDR AND FINNS The Finnish .war has been over for about a month now,, but those who have mentioned it to the President still find him eore at the manner In which the Finn were let down.
