Bartman Washington Bureau Washington an agreement Between key House and Senate leaders should save approximately 3,000 offi cers positions his year congressional and military sources said. The Compromise worked out last week would permit the defense department to extend and thereby Lessen the Impf i of a congressionally Man dated 5 percent Cut in the officer rants Over the next iwo years. Technically at least the Law would still require a 2 percent Cut in officers approximately 6,200 personnel in the current fiscal year. Bui under the agreement the Pentagon can choose to rim Only 3,100 officers or percent if it determines thai the higher percentage is unfeasible. The Compromise occurred just As the project on military procurement a private defense watchdog group was releasing new figures in an attempt to persuade Congress to go ahead with the officer cuts As planned. The Point is that the officer corps has become really top heavy said project official Danielle Brian Bland from 1982 to 1986, the number of enlisted personnel increased by 2.2 percent while the number of officers increased by 6.8  House and Senate conferees meeting Over their proposed defense authorization Bills were unable to reach agreement on the controversial Issue and turned it Over to the chairmen of the House and Senate armed services and appropriations committees. Those four lawmakers hmm Cid out the Compromise. Under the agreement the House gives in slightly and the Senate saves face sources said monday. The House wanted to delay the cuts for a year until the Pentagon completes a report that attempts o justify the size of the officer ranks. The sen ate wanted to keep the 2 percent Cut for fiscal year 1988 and a 3 percent Cut for fiscal 110 Fin place. By keeping the 2 percent Cut on the books the Senate gets what it wanted at least on paper Capitol Hill sources said. And while the House has left a 2 percent Cut intact when it wanted no cuts at All it fully expects the Secretary of defense to seek the less drastic 1 percent Cut. To avoid half of the required officer cuts the Secretary must request legislative Relief under the defense officers personnel management acl. I think we All believe they will do that said a House source. The Pentagon has All the personnel numbers and it s easy to do the defense department has maintained that a 2 percent Cut in officers at this Point in the fiscal year which began More than a month ago would have been difficult if not  said in can Lake up to several months to drop an officer. While the Pentagon May have achieved some significant Relief from the House Senate Compromise the Issue is not Over. The entire topic willbe reviewed next year after the Penta gon completes its study which is being overseen by the general accounting office. They Haven t ruled out revisiting the whole i be again next year did Pentagon official. They hive ques lined the growth of the officer corps Between 1980 and 1986. We apparently Haven t convinced them thai this growth is  the project on military procure ment continued to insist in ill latest figure that the growth in numbers of officers is not j ust i find in 1945, at the height of world War i there was one officer for every 11.6 enlisted men and one general per 5,829 servicemen Brian Bland Laid in 1986, there was one officer for each 3.9 enlisted personnel and one general or Admiral per 2,05i service men. So Here we have a Point where we re not at War but we have twice As Many officers to enlisted men he said comparing the current ratios to world War ii ratios. Since the Pentagon has claimed it is unfair to compare wartime and peace time numbers the project also com pared figures from 1958 with 1986. Those figures showed that the proportion f army officers has dropped but the or portions for the other services have increased considerably. In 195b the army had 33 general for each division compared to 24 generals for each division in 1986. The Navy had one Admiral per nine ship sin 1958 and in 1986 it had one Admiral per two ships. And the air Force in1958 had one general per 64 aircraft but one general per 32 aircraft in 1986.

The Laws were All in my favor and the Rogu lation was Clear Cut. Dodds officials must have vivid imaginations to stretch the meaning of those legs Smuch As they did in my  arbitrator Theodore Ghiz made his decision oct. 1 after hearing testimony May 19 in Augsburg Germany.
