THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 28, 1929—PART 4. D. C. Naval Reserve Vineyard Haven, Mass., has been se- lected by the Navy Department as the liberty port for the United States Naval Reserve Battalion of the District of Co- lumbia on each of the three cruises to be made this Summer for the training of the members of the three divisions composing the local organization. first cruise will be held from July 6 to July 20, on which the 1st Fleet Division will go; the 2d Fleet Division will go from July 27 to August 10, and the 3d | Fleet Division from August 17 to August 31. | ‘The selection of this port is expected to prove pleasing to both officers and men of the local battalion, it was said. | Last year it was found that the mem- | bers of the organization had a better | time in a liberty port where there was & small town, than if they went to New | York or Boston. Practically all of them | who visited this port last year came back with stories of the wonderful e tertainment given them by the towns- | people, and said they were anxious to stage a return visit. | ‘The local reservists will have with them on each of the three cruises, which will be taken aboard the local Reserve training ship, the U. S. Destroyer Abel P. Upshur, a division from the Balti- more, Md., Naval Reserve Baftalion. ‘The Upshur has recently returned from the Norfolk Navy Yard, where she underwent her annual overhaul period, to fit her for service with the Atlantic | Scouting Fleet thls Summer, with the Teservists aboard. ‘The Navy Department announced last week that in accordance with the Navy's palicy of training the Naval Reserve on vessels to which they would be assigned in case of a national emergency, ap- proximately 9,000 reservists will make training cruises during the Summer. ‘The destroyer squadrons of the battle and scouting fleets and & number of vessels assigned for special training duty will be employed on cruises, each of two weeks' duration, during which the Naval Reserve divisions will be trained in division maneuvers, gunnery exercises and ship routine. The cruises are said to have been planned to take advantage of the half holidays at the end of the week, embarking the reserv- 1ists on Saturday afternoon and return- ing them to the port of embarkation two weeks later in time to reach their homes beYore the beginning of the next | working day. ‘The Naval Reserve divisions in the eastern part of the United States will make four cruises on the destroyers of the scouting fleet, with the exception of six divisions of the 3d Naval District and divisions from 5th Naval District and from this city, which will cruise on the destroyers Fox and Upshur. Reserve divisions from the 8th Naval District, headquarters at New Orleans, La., will make three cruises on destroy- ers from the control force. The divi- sions from the 9th Naval District, head- quarters, Great Lakes, Ill, will be di- vided between the scouting fleet de- Approval has been given by Col. Mel- ville 8.

C. argue | enly once & year for a short period of 14 days, he should not have this period cut to only a few days, and then devote the remainder of his training camp T. C. On the other hand, those favor- ing the new plan insist that the actual experience in instructing the C. M. T. C. will more than offset the time given over to this work and that it will give them an insight into the dutles that would be required of them in case of an emergency. The following mili- tary subjects for rifie companies will be taken up during the progress of the Citizens' Military _Training _Camps: Range practice, tent pitching and field inspection, military _sketching, map The | stroyers and the vessels assigned for their training which will cruise on the | Great Lakes. The reservists from the 11th Naval Distgict, San Diego, and 13th | Naval District, Puget Sound, Wash., | will cruise on the destroyers of the battle fleet. The divisions from the 12th Naval District, San Francisco, will | be trained on the destroyer Hazelwood, | which will join the battle fleet destroy- | ers during the cruise. Reservists from the 14th Naval Dis- trict, Honolulu, Hawail, will make a cruise on the Ludlow from Mine Squad- ron 2, Fleet Base Force. ‘The schedule for the scouting fleet destroyers has been arranged to embark reservists on Saturday and rendezvous in Narragansett Bay the following Mon- day. During the first week of training the vessels will engage in individual ship exercises and the week end will be spent in liberty. The second week's schedule includes division exercises, gunnery exercises, boat races and signal competitions. The department officials say that a typical day's routine aboard a training vessel includes: Morning, general quarters, when all hands go to their stations, for battle; with men at the guns and officers at fire and ship-con- trol stations; instruction in navigation and in safety precautions for gunnery. In the afternoon there are individual ship tactical exercises, collision drill, instruction in surveys, requisitions, work requests, allotments and general store- keeper records, while at night there is exercise at night fire drill. Also there are special drills for both the deck and engineering forces. ‘The following enlisted in the Reserve during the week and were assigned to the divisions, noted after their re- spective names: Oscar W. Frederick- son, 1502 Twenty-first street, seaman, first class, 3d Fleet Division; William Swart, 1156 Chestnut street, Clarendon, Va., seaman, second class, 3d Fleet Di- vision, and Albert E. Harmed, 5 Co. lumbia avenue, Takoma Park, Md., sea- man, second class, 3d Fleet Division. ‘The local headquarters has received from the 8th Naval District, at New Orleans, La., the record of the trans- fer here of Ensign O. J. Whitney, Volunteer Aviation Reserve. Plans are going forward for the an- nual inspection to be held on May 27. The divisions are being trained both on the destroyer Upshur, at her dock at the Washington Navy Yard, and in the armory. The attendance of the or- ganization is said to be the highest in years, approximately 130 men report- ing each night for drill. The local battalion now has a maximum allowed strength of 175 men, and there are 170 on the rolls. Only those who at- tend drillsgregularly are kept in the | active Reserve, it was pointed out.

The gymnasium courses close May 30, but enrollment is encouraged up to the very last week. Sometimes just three or four lessons may be of real benefit. Enrollment for all classes is made on the fifth floor at Seventeenth and K streets. For those interested in advanced gym work the morning class meeting at 11 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day will be found best.
