Stephan in. formed the Commissioners, “has been presented to you hereto‘ore, and your backing of the project to erect suitable facilities has materially benefited the organization. However, the project has_not been authorized by Congress, due to the action of the President dur- ing the last session of Congress, in which it was stated that the proposed law authorizing the erection of an ar- mory would interfere with the Presi dent’s building program for the Fed eral Government. The chairman of the Public Buildings Commission has declined to incorporate in proposed Federal legislation an item for an ar mory for the District of Columbia in asmuch as the housing of the Nation al ard is a local problem, for which cach State is responsible. 1 now re- quest and recommend to you that suit able action be taker to place the pro. P al for erection of an armory for the National Guard of the District of Columbia before Congress either in the from of a_supplemental estimate for expenses of the government of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year 1927, or in the form of a separate bill similar to that introduced in both houses of Congress during the last session, except making a definite ap propriation for the project rather than merely authorizing the appropriation to be made. “The amount requested is our judgment. It should Y that the sum of $1, 000 hes noted in proposals on this subject s rccommended by the armory ommission and the supervising archi- tect of the reasury based on esti mated costs for a suitable building.

Of course, these measures, in the ordinary course will g0 to the House and Senate District committees, and following the usual procedure will be sent to the Com- missioners_for recommendation. The proposed bill, it Is understood, will be similar to the one introduced at the last sesslon of Congress and which provided that the District and Federal Governments should hear proportional amounts of the expenses In the same manner that other expenses of the District now are met. There is some ‘pposition in the District government the local citizen paying for an armory for the local troops. Maj 1 uditor, safd | Daniel Donovan, District that the United States should provide in armory for the District troops, cause here it is different from the States as the local militia Is really a Maj. Donovan said that in view of the fact that the District of Columbia National Guard is a federalized foree, he did not belleve there was & chance of getting an armory at Dis- trict funds, as an armory, but he did think that if it was made a sort of town hall and armory, where civic and patriotic organizations could meet also, there might be some measure of success. In the provision for 4 new armory efforts would be made to take care of | all units under one roof, instead of having them scattered as they now are. In the event that an armory was provided, large enough, ~the 260th | Coast Artillery, now at Water and O | streets southeast, would be moved into | it, and make it possible for the United | ates Naval Reserve to again get this building and its accompanying dock The structure was originally designed and constructed for the water-borne militia, but when that organization | became an entirely Federal force and the land militia needed armory epace | the Naval Reserve was forced out and | now is drilling in delapidated and un- | suitable quarters at the Washington Navy Yard Capt.

Milton A Reckord, commanding the National Guard of Maryland, president of the National Guard Association of the United States at the annual conven tion of the organization soon to be held in St. Augustine, Fla., it was made known at Guard headquarters here during the week. Gen. Reckord, it is sald, has done much for the Na tional Guard of the United States dur Ing his regime, and there seems to be a strong desire that he serve another term. Places and dates ure heing seiected for the annual encampments of the local Natfonal Guard to be held next Summer, and {t appears at the pres- ent time that thers will be only one small unit, the 29th Military Police Company, commanded by Lieut. Ray- mond M. Peak, which will represent the local citizen soldiery at the sesqui- centennial celebration at Philadelphia. The entire local Guard has been in- vited to camp in the vicinity of Phila- delphla_during the festivities next Summer, but it is helieved now that it will be impossible to send a large unit because of the expense,although it is known to Le the desire that the local organization be represented by at least one unit. The 29th Military Police Company, an Infantry unit, and the only military outfit in the 29th Division, has heretofore been taking its annual field train‘ng with the 121st Engineers, but owing to conditions sald to have prevailed at Virginta Beach, Va., last Summer it is the desire to send this organization on a separate training period this vear, and it Is helieved now that it will be possible to dispatch it to | Philadelphia.
