House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. MY DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The bill (H. R. 9727) for the relief of C. Carnicle was referred to the Navy Department by your Comtee with a request for report and recommendation.

The purpose of this bill is to consider M. C. Carnicle as having been orably discharged from the Naval Service.

The records of the Navy Department show that Marion Charles icle was born on June 11, 1888, and enlisted in the Navy on vember 5, 1908, under the name of "Charlie Marion Woodworth." dence was later submitted showing that his correct name is as en above. His record shows the commission of 16 minor offenses which he was punished by his commanding officer. In addition, ommitted the following offenses:

26, 1910: Left ship without permission, brought back by patrol officer the influence of liquor. Summary court martial.

[blocks in formation]

Carnicle again reenlisted on June 14, 1919, and his record shows the following offenses: October 8, 1919, drunk; general court martial, sentenced to be reduced from chief boatswain's mate to boatswain's mate, first class, to be confined for 6 months, and to suffer all other accessories of the sentence, but the portion of the sentence involving hard labor was remitted. On November 14, 1919, the Navy Department mitigated that portion of the sentence involving confinement, to restriction to ship or station for 6 months, such restriction to be terminated at any time after 2 months at the discretion of the commanding officer, and directed that Carnicle be transferred to the nearest receiving ship for general detail.

On July 23, 1920, Carnicle deserted from the Navy and remained absent until January 12, 1921. He was convicted by general court martial of desertion and sentenced to be confined for 18 months, to be dishonorably discharged from the Navy, and to suffer all other accessories of his sentence. On October 8, 1921, the Navy Department set aside the proceedings, findings, and sentence and directed that, as an entirely separate and distinct action, Carnicle be discharged as undesirable. He was given an undesirable discharge at San Diego, Calif., on October 19, 1921.

This bill would, if enacted, involve a cost against the Navy of $30.10, representing transportation from San Diego, to San Francisco, Calif. Further, it is probable that there would be charges against the Veterans' Administration now or in the future.

The Navy Department recommends against the enactment of the bill H. R. 9727.

Sincerely yours,

CLAUDE A. SWANSON.

TO CORRECT THE NAVAL RECORD OF PAUL HAROLD ERICKSON (H. R. 9292). MR. BEITER

NAVY DEPARTMENT, Washington, January 29, 1936.

The CHAIRMAN, COMMITTEE ON NAVAL AFFAIRS,

House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.

MY DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The bill (H. R. 9292) to correct the naval record of Paul Harold Erickson was referred to the Navy Department by your committee with a request for report and recommendation.

The purpose of this bill is to consider Paul Harold Erickson as having been honorably discharged from the naval service.

The records of the Navy Department show that Paul Harold Erickson was born on December 17, 1894, and enlisted in the Navy on July 16, 1917, to serve for a period of 4 years.

On September 7, 1918, Erickson was tried by summary court martial for using obscene and disrespectful language to a chief petty officer and was sentenced to lose $199.50 pay and be given a badconduct discharge from the Navy. The loss of pay was remitted subject to his conduct for the remainder of his current enlistment and the bad-conduct discharge was remitted subject to his conduct for 6 months. The sentence, as mitigated, was approved on September 8, 1918. On February 6, 1919, Erickson's commanding officer stated that Erickson's conduct was not satisfactory, and effected the bad-conduct discharge on that date at the Naval Air Station, Montauk, N. Y.

This bill, if enacted into law, would result in no cost to the Navy; however, it is probable that a charge under the Veterans' Administration would be involved now or in the future.

The Navy Department recommends against the enactment of the bill, H. R. 9292.

Sincerely yours,

23697-36-No. 468

CLAUDE A. SWANSON.
