If some different form of pro- tection is advisable the inspectors will so recommend, Safe Crossings Hon. Frank Oliver, former Com- missioner, who was recently appoint- ed s cial adviser to the Commission with respect to level crossings, is not specially concerned with crossings at which accidents have occurred but with crossings generally, though it 1s conceivable he may pay particular attention to crossings which have a reputation as death trans, said Hon.

The report, submitted by Rear Ad- miral BR. H. Leigh, chief of the bu- reau, said that while the authorized enlisted strength of the navy is 137, 000 men, its present actual strength is only 84,000, with 5,440 officers. Limitation of congressional appropri- ations, moreover, the report asserted, had resulted in the past year in a reduction of 538, or 16 per cent in the number of midshipmen at An- napolis, and will mean a shortage of 3,378 enlisted men when the 5 new cruisers now under construction are commissioned. In the past five years, the report said, the number of men on aeronau- tical duty has more than doubled, bringing the estimated total for 1929 up to 693 officers and 9,213 men, or 12 per cent of the navy total per- sonnel. This has depleted the num- ber of men available for regular duty. It was therefore urged that the navy line strength be raised to 95,285 in the appropriations for 1930. The reorganization of. the Pensa- cola naval aviation school, the report said, will provide for 480 new stu- dent pilots each year. Only 24 pilots and 3 observers were graduated at Pensacola in the past year, and the legal minimum requirement that 30 per cent of navy pilots be from the enlisted personnel has mot yet been met. - WIFE OF AMBASSADOR INJURED IN LONDON London, Dec. 24 --Favorable pro- gress was being made today by Mrs. Alanson B.
