Five past national commanders, National Comdr. Eugene P. Carver and five past State commanders were present. Heres kiah N.

The budget for 1929 came in for con= siderable discussion, in which plans for the appropriation of funds for the res cruiting campaign played an important part. Plans for a Nation-wide recruit- discussed. Ags)rourtmun of from $20,000 to $25,000 will be made by the council to pay the expenses of the cam- paign. State departments throughout the country will be supplied with funds to carry on their share of the drive for new members. Active promotion work in connection with the Citizens' Military Train! Camp in the corps areas of the Unil States was given favorable considera- tion. Plans were outlined to extena the V. W. work in this connection and issue more valuable awards for meritorious - work in the C. M. T. C. Last year the organization -awarded efficiency medals in the 55 corps areas. Capt. James W.

Hines, director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, to relieve cer- government Hospital at Perry Point, | American Legion. | . More than three hundred resolutions bearing upon matters affecting disabled World War veterans and their families Were considered at the San Antonio, Tex, convention . of the American Leglon. Their consideration required night and day sessions of the conven- tion committee on rehabllitation, which were attended by delegtes from prac- tieally every State in the Union. The -program that resulted and which re- celved the unanimous approval of the convention, involved requests for the cohstruction of 2,725 new hospital beds, 1,825 to be designed for the treatment of neuropsychiatric cases and 900 for general medical and surgical types. A considerable number of liberalizing amendments to the World War veterans' act were recommended, together with many administrative changes and re forms in the operation of the United States Veterans' Bureau. ‘The procedure by which veterans may exchange one form of Government life insurance policy foy another form of policy at either a higher or a lower rate of premium was outlined in regulation No. 200, recently issued by Frank T, Hines, director of the United States Vete Bureau, according to Amer- ican lon rehabilitation officials. This thority was granted by law in the amendments of May 29, 1928, to the World War veterans’ act. The policy ex- changes must be made not later than one year from the date of the adminis- ‘rative regulation, or within five years rom the effective date of the original policy, Whichever is the later date. As an incentive for the various posts of the American Legion comprising the Department of the Distriet of Columbia to double the membership of the local organization during the\coming year, Department Comdr. Harlan Wood last week announced the donation of two trophies to the posts making the great- est gain in membership. In order that the posts may get a good start and at the same time As- sist the department in capturing one of the trophies offered by natlonal headquarters, Comdr, Wood has set De- cember 20 as the “dead line” for mem- bership applications. On that date the with a membership of 100 or more showing the greatest percentage receive one of the trophies, and the other one will be awarded to the post with & membership under 100 likewise showing the greatest percentage gain during the same period. In this connection the national or- ganization has announced that three citations will be awarded to departments and posts showing gains in member- ship. As an incentive and as a recog- nition of the efforts of posts, national headquarters is offering at this time a special_citation for most distinguished service never heretofore used. s will be awarded posts re-enrolling their 1928 membenhlr by the close of business on November 17, which is the end of Amer- ican Legion week. The citation for distinguished service is offered all posts enrolling by Novem- ber 30 & 1920 membership equaling or surpassing their membership at the close of the last department convention.

After careful considera- tion the quota for your department for 1929 has set at 3,083." During the past week the department commander held conferences with all of the post commanders of this départ- ment, going over Legion détails and proposed activities and policies during the coming year. They were enthusi- astic over the announcement of the trophies to be awarded for increased membership and the program as out- lined to them.

ArmyandNavyNews Army. Several suggestions were heard last week involving certain impoftant changes in organisation in high places of the military establishment, One proposal contemplates the abolition of the Inspector General's Department, or its virtual equivalent of amalgamation with another department. This has a familiarity that relieves it of the char- acteristics of sensation or surprises. It is, of course, urged in behalf of this plan that the duties now performed by inspectors general can be rendered by officers of the finance department in the instances requiring inspection of public funds disbursed for Army poses, and by corps area commanders, chiefs of branches and the chief of staff and his representatives, more military inspection is necessary Another proposal suggests that the chiefs and assistant chiefs of the War Department branches having the rank of general officer shall be transferred to the list of general officers of the line and where they are not such made per- manent in that capacity. Under that arrangement it s supposed that va- cancles among chieft and assistant chiefs of branches, with the exception of the Medical Department and the Corps of Chaplains, shall be filled by the detail of major generals and brig- adier generals of the line, respectively, to hold such position for the usual four years and to return on the termination of that period to line functions. Still another proposal -suggests a variation of this plan whith would transfer to the line the general officers now at- tached to the branches and confine to colonels the detall as chiefs and assist- ant chiefs of such branches without in« crease of rank. It is anticipated that this latter proposal would encounter ob=| Jection in many quarters because of the additions to the general officers of th line under circumstances that separate such officers from important positions at the head of pranches. In substance, however, the situation would remain the same as now with regard to the number of general officers, Though Maj. Gen. Creed C.

In connection with this approaching vacancy eight months away, the opinion appears to be shared by some that the recently inaugurated War Df(.pafltmpm policy of not reappolnte Maj. Hammond. jng Eegul‘rppkormy officers as chiefs of branches prohibits the chief of the Militia Bureau from succeeding himself. This is not true, however, as section 81 of the National Defense Act prescribes, in part, that “the chief of the Militia Bureau shall hold office for lour years unless sooner removed for cause, shall be eligible to succeed himself, and when he is 84 years of age he shall cease to hold such office” It I8 further prescribed in sectios of that act that the chiefs and assistants to the chlefs of the sov- eral War Department branches shall be appointed by the President for a pe- riod of four years. The act I8 painfully silent on the question of chiefs of branchea succeeding themselves, which seems to account for the reason that the department has established the m:leg'hfllnun;lt‘lgg theh tfur]s n!flduly of ei8 ol e technical and s branches, S There has been no expression from QGen. Hammond as to whether he would Reoept & reappointment to his present post, and the National Guard has un- der his encumbency enjoyed unprece- dented prosperity. The oiroularization of literature in behalf of an active cam- paign to push the candidacy of other candidates 18 a most unusual circums Atance. It is felt In some National Quard ocircles that the silence of Gen. Hammond on the question of his re- appointment should be respected and that until he makes & public announce= ment concerning his reappointment no open attempts should be made on the behalf of others. Another thing enter- ing into the picture is the complexion of the political afiliation of the next President, In the event of the election of Mr. Moover, there is not the slight- est doubt that Gen. Hammond would be proffered A reappointment, but should Gov. Bmith be elected the next President next Tueaday it 1s most prob- able that a member of the National | Guard possessing Democratic affiliations would appointed to succeed QGen.

It i3 obvious that service in grade is more fair to officers and it affords them a greater opportunity for promotion without ref to individual age. There is includ: in the Britien proposal a clause for service-in-grade retirement which appears to be favored by a large number of officers in the Navy.
