Promotions Come Hard Admits Killing ‘Insane’ Brother i in Park For Reserve Officers

By ED KENNEDY Times Staff Writer

WITH THE EIGHTH ARMY, Korea, Feb. 14—Regular Arm) men with stars in their eyes find

this a happy hunting ground for promotions. "= But a reserve officer who might like to leave the war'‘a grade 1igher than when he was recalled has a hard time getting one promotion, Combat first liduterfants, with 18 much as six months’ front line experience \8 company commanders simply cannot be promoted to captain, According to the books, there are too'many captains of infantry in the 8th Army. It is over the authorized strength by‘ more than 00 infantry captains, But these excess captains are wt up on the hill leading the nen or fighting the battles. They are being used in various ‘ear area jobs. K They give out ishheads and rice on Korean re'ilef projects, carry messages as !ialson officers, serve in various leadquarters as public tion officers, plus numerous other 1ssignments wherever they e fitted in.

Mr. Kennedy

Nothing to Be Done An Eighth Army - spokesman ald there is simply nothing which can be done to get these front-

line infantry commanders promoted. Even troops on the line are

oncerned about it when they see good leader go unrewarded.

On a recent tour, GIs of a rifle ompany were asked about chow, mail and gripes. The only gripe Vas, “Why can't the lieutenant oti -1is railroad tracks,” (captaing) hars).

In Tokyo an officer explained that efficer grades must be kept n balance throughout the Army| § a whole. Only so many inantry captains are authorized. When that number is reached, no command can promote more men, regardless of how« outstanding their combat records of how many| months they ‘have led troops on the front. The problem over here is not | onfined to captains, but to in-| intry officers of all grades. Ma-| ‘ors ‘have commanded battalions! or long periods, but no silver ‘leaves for them. Too many lieu-! enant colonels—someplace else. | “‘aptains do majors’ work in com- | hat — but no promotion” — too! many majors,

Sore About It

As most ‘of these officers on. ‘he firing line are now, reserves many are taking the freeze on combat promotions as an affront to them by the regulars. They see generals come and go.
