Maj. Albert 8. J. Tucker, Infantry, Who returfied last week from leave to duty at Organized Reserve headquar- ters in the-Graham Building, is acting senior executive officer at the local Reserve head- quarters during the sick leave ab- sence of Maj. R. P. Lemly, Infan- try, who is re- cuperating from ® minor opera- tion. It is not ex- rc(ed that the atter officer will assume his duty at headquarters until the first part of October. | Capt. James B. (_;valden. F.'A,, as- sistant executive offcer at ihe Mak A. 8. . Tueker. Washington Reserve headquarters, also returned to Washington this past week from the active duty training with the 313th Field Artillery, Col. Leroy W. Herron, commanding. the local Field Artillery Reserve Regi- ment, at Fort Hoyle, Md. He also went to Tobyhanna, Pa., where he engaged in active duty training mat- ters of Reserve Field. Artlllery units there. Col. Herron was highly grati fied with the work of his regiment with the 6th Field Artillery, a Regn lar Army unit, at Fort Hoyle, and all of the Field Artillery Reserve officers who underwent th training were very enthusiastic about the training and treatment and the success of the camp in general. With the return of Maj. Tucker and Capt. Golden to duty at the local Reserve headquarters last week. the (nactive training season for the Wash- Ington Reservists began in earnest. Although nothing of a definite nature pertaining to the approaching Winter programs Tor the various branches had been decided upon, considerable thought is being given to the various instructional projects. and it will be but a short time when the Washing- ton Reserve officers will settie down to their Winter's program. One form of the 1926-27 inactive training instruction which will be’ stressed this- year will be sand-table instruction, and for this purpose three new sand tables have been pro. cured and are waiting for the season to begin. For this work Staff Sergt. Charles Schaffer, senior non-commis. sioned officer on duty in the Graham Building, has just completed a short intensive course in sand-table instruc- tion at the Engineer School, Fort Humphreys, Va. It takes consider- able skill in the preparation of the sand-table problems, and this work at the Engineer School has fitted Sergt. Schaffer for this work. Little work of this character was done last year, due to the lack of expert knowl- edge in the preparation of the prob- lems, but this drawback has been eliminated this year in the training of the above-named non-commissioned officer, and it is planned to devote considerable time and attention to this form of training. The commissioned members of the 428th Infantry, Maj. West Hamilton commanding, the only colored regi- ment in the District of Columbia, who recently returned to their homes in Washington from their period of active duty training at Camp Devens, Mass., were much pleased with their program of instruction given them while in the Massachusetts camp. During this period of instruction they were superimposed on the 3d 'Rat- tallion of the 372d Infantry, a colored unit of the Massachusetts National Guard. - During the past vear the members of this regiment have been peeticularly active, and it is planned to put in a very busy program dur- ing the coming Fall and Winter in- active season. An interesting discussion going on among Washington Reserve officers, which is in all probability n- tuated by the approaching annual convention of the Reserve Officers’| Association of the United States, | which will ‘be_held at Norfolk, Va,, on October 25, 26 and 27, is the creation in the War Department of a bureau to have charge of the af- fairs of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Tt is sald that this proposal is fa- vored by the majority of the mem- bers of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. In certain Reserve quarters the opinion is held that more Reserve officers should be assigned to duty on the general staff in the War De- partment and the designation of Re- serve officers for active duty in the fleld at headquarters of corps a commanders. This question !lll e ceived special study in the War De- partment, and in this connection the Secretary of- War pointed out that the department plans to increase the Reserves' representation in the War Department general staff and to in- troduce this representation in some offices of chlefs of branches and also at corps area headquarters. Thir plan, the Secretary sald, should bring the Reserve in closer contact with the -operating agencies of the War Department and corps area head- quarters and should create a greater branch Interest than has existed heretofore.
