National Commander John R. Mc- Quigg was instructed by the commit- tee at its recent sesslon to lay the request before the President. The object of the request is to assure to veterans of the World War proper representation on the American dis- armament delegation. The principle that organized vet. erans should be recognized In such formal discussions was laid down by the legion at its national convention in New Orleans in 1922.

February 17 there is scheduled to be held the first initiation ceremony of the year. Detalled proposals for a national wviation program wre belng lald be- fore the Nation by the American Leglon as its suggestions for a proper development of American aviation in all its phases. At a recent meeting of the national executive committee ® yan worked out by Reed G. Landis, Chicago, chairman of the legion's natlonal aeronautics committee, was upproved. Mr. Landis' plan was based on a careful study of the reports of Pres- tdent Coolidge’s Air Board. the American aviation mission, the Gov- ermnment efficlency board and the Lampert committee on aeronauties in the House of Representaties. Con- ferences were held with manv mili- tary authorities in both the War and Navy Departments. For military aviation- the legion program is: Substantial expenditure each year for modern flying equip- ment; survey and destruction of obso- lete equipment; promulgation of re- quest on rank, pay and duty to fit specialized work; appropriations suf- ficlent to provide adequate equipment and training for the reserves und the National Guard. Encouragement of civilian and commercial aviation apart from mili- tary aviation was recommended. Means suggested to this end were: Establishment of a bureau of aerv- nautics in the Department of Com- merce; extension of the air mall, pre- ferably by contract; construction of lighted airways and dissemination of proper weather information; release of a reasonable amount of surplus aviation equipment to clivilians at falr prices; program of education and com- mercial encouragement prepared and executed by the bureau of aeronautics. Means mwommended for the en- cvuragement of the aircraft industry were: Cestacion of Government com- petition: {nstituting of a program of continuous production; protection of rights of design. National Comdr. John R. McQuigg ‘was authorized to call a national con- ference of organizations interested in proper support of the national defense and in opposition to certaln groups which are now carrying on a deter- mined propaganda to drive military training from the schools and col'eges of the country. Reports on the ex- tent of this propaganda were pre- sented to the committee by E. K. Bixby, chairman of the National Americanism Commission. The com- mander was also given power to ap- point a committee to prepare a pamphlet to show the downright un- American character of this agitation egainst the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the citizens’ military train- ing camps. The national executive committee yveafirmed its confidence in and pledged Its support to the national Qefense act of 1920, in the passage of which the legion was largely in- strumental, and in the Reserve Off- cors’ Training Corps.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 30.—The suffra- gette is coming back. Not satisfled with the vote at 30, she now wants to exert her prerogative upon reaching the age of 21. “Votes for women on the same terms as men” has been adopted as the slogan of the Women's Freedom League. Less spectacular and quieter methods than in pre-war days have been decided upon, but plans for mam- moth processions throughout England in June are already under way. Miss Ellen Wilkinson, only woman Labor member of Parligment, is help- ing the league in its latest endeavors, a8 fs Mrs. Patrick Lawrence, one of the well known suffragettes of other years. It is planned to have at least 100,000 young women in the London June parade, the idea being to “soften the hearts of the legislators.” —_— heard a number of members of Con- gress who had special amendments for the law. Most of the sections of the bill thut has been before the committee—the bill introduced by Representative Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota— were favorably acted upon by the House at the last session, but many parts were eliminated by the Senate in the closing days without hearings. The drive now is to assure early House action in order that there will be ample time for hearings in the Senate before that branch is called upon to vote. There are more than 25 items that have been considered, many of them concerning the simplification of ad- :nh;lntnlilon in order to speed relief 0 deserving men sufferi fro; disabilities. = S In the bill that has been before the committee some of the points that the veterans consider of especlal Impor- tance as reaching large classes of men are the ones to establish a per- manent medical service in the Vet- erans’ Bureau to attract and hold a high standard of doctors, one to lib- eralize the provisions for the rein- statement of insurance, one to pro- vide training for men still unable to start rehablilitation, and one to pro- vide adequate permanent compensa- tion for cases of arrested tuberculosis. As soon as the Johnson blil is out of the way, it is expected the veter- ans' committee will reach a definite decision concerning the Fitzgerald bill, providing for the retirement of a certain class of permanently disabled emergency officers of the Army on “he same basis as the disabled officers of the Navy and Marines. i This bill has twice passed the Sen- ate, and its supporters are making an especial effort to obtain early con- sideration, as they claim that infor- mal polls of the 8enate and the House ndicate strong majorities in favor of the legislation In both branches of Congress. This measure i{s being handled by Representative Roy Fitzgerald, a for- mer service man of Ohlo. Military Order World War. ‘The District of Columbia Chapter of the Military Order of the World War will give its first annual military ball at the Hotel Mayflower Lincoln's birthday, February 12. Many of those prominent in Washington’s official, diplomatic and military services will attend. Invitations have been sent to the commander-in-chief and his staff to be present and be in the receiving line of the reception that will precede the ball The music will be furnished by the United States Navy Band and will be personally conducted by Lieut. Charles Benter. In addition to a number of at- tractive features, supper will be !and the daily pursuits of others keep Washington who travel a great deal them from attending the meetings of thelr branches of the service. The suggestion has been mad~ by Col. Scott, however, that those reserve officers who, due to thelr absence during the present year, would be un able to attend a sufficient number of assemblies which would entitle them to a certificate, can secure credit for| attendance at instructional assemblies of another arm to which all officers are invited, or the Instructional meet ings of the reserve officers’ assoctation. It is hoped by Col. Scott that the re-| servists who, due to the nature of their employment, are prevented from attending the regular scheduled in-) structional assemblies of their own| arms of the service, will avail them-| selves of this opportunity to attend| the meetings of the other arms, as a re- sult of which they will not only profit | by the Instruction given, but they will | be entitled to the attendance qualifi- cation certificate for the 1925-1 season, which will be formally pre- sented either in June or at the begin- ning of the season in the Fall, if they attend the requisite number of meet- ings. A new committee, consisting of three Regular Army officers, one Na- tional Guard offcer who also holds a re- serve commission and two reserve of ficers, has been appointed i1: the fruin ing section of the War Department general staff, G-3, for the purpose of | making a study of the inactive duty | training of reserve officers.

Re- cent Instructions were sent cut .by the War Department to the corps area commanders and the chiefs of branches directing thelr attention to the provisions of paragraphs 18 {a) and 19 (¢) of Army Regulations, 140-5, which contemplate the assignment of reserve officers to units of the Or- ganized Reserves or to other activ- ities. It is desired by the department that all unassigned or attached of- ficers who are eligible for assignment be utilized to meet the requirements of the War Departmnt general mo- bilization plan as provided for by the tables of organization. War Depart- ment instructions precluding the as- signment of officers to a_unit or in- installation also will preclude the at- iachment of officers. The vacancies thus withheld are not avalilable for promotion purposer It s required by paragraph 60 (2) that an appropriate vacancy in the | grade and section must exist in the corps area, branch or activity allot- ment made by the War Department general mobllization plan. In deter- mining_vacancies for rrumction pur- poses, it is pointed out by Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis, the adjutar: general of the Army, the ontire assignment jurisdiction' must be considered and vacancies do not exist if officers of the proper grade and section ure un- assigned or attached within the as- slgnment jurisdiction. The zllecation of a unit does not create vacancles until its organization has been t.uthor- tmed, The following changes in the as- signments affecting reserve officers residing In Washington were an-| nounced last week at reserve head- | quarters in_the Graham bullding: | First Lieut.
