———e HOUSE CHANGES ) INARMY BLLHT Weeks Tells Senate Subcom- | mittee Age Limit Imperils [ 8 Enlistments. HARBORD CLAUSE IRKS * Increase in Appropriation for Na- tional Guard to Budget Estimate Also Urged. ia Appearing before the Senate appro- priations subcommittee handiing the Army appropriation bill, Secretary Weeks yesterday assalled several features of the measure as it passed the House. The stipulation that boys under twenty-one cannot enlist in the Army without the written consent of thelr parents was declared by the Secre- tary to be such a blow at the re- cruiting service as to make it doubt- ful whether the Army could be kept at authorized strength. Harbord Clause Irks. Mr. Weeks also objected vigorously to the provision which would bar Maj. Gen. Harbord, who recently retired, to become head of a radio concern, from drawing retirement pay. The stipulation, he said, constituted a reflec- tion on the integrity of Army officers. Opposition {o the river and harbor Dlans of the House was expressed by The Secretary, who insisted that the appropriation for such purposes should be restricted to the budget estimate. He further stated that he wanted to emphasize the importance of restoring roserve officers’ headquarters which had been eliminated by the House, and he also favored a mtore liberal appro- priation for the training of reserve officers. Asks More for Guard. In asking that the National Guard appropriation be increased to the budget estimate, Secretary Weeks wtated that the guard Is now in fine Shape, with a better quality of en- listed men and with better officers, Who are better trained Consolidation of Army posts through- out the country in the interest of of- ficlency and economy was suggested lo the subcommittee by Secretary Weeks, who stated that he was hav- ing a study made with that end in view. He therefore urged that no further appropriations for permanent establishments be made at posts which might in the near fuiure be abolished. The werld war had demon: feasible to consider a new plan of fortifications defense. under which many of the present forts, now obso- lete, should be abandoned. _ U. S. JOBS OPEN.
