THE SUNDAY STAR., WASHINGTON, D. G MAY 26, 1929—PART 4. ' District National Guard Since a little public praise was hand- | eod out at the brigade headquarters of | the National Guard of the District of Columbia several weeks ago to a man who had attended 100 consecutive drills, persistent and consistent claims have been made of better records. The head- quarters very carefully made no refer- ence to such a record being unsurpassed, and thus kept itself in a neutral at- titude. Since the publication have made claims to better records, but | there came one to the attention of the the best, will be hard to beat. Department Detachment, 121st Engi- neers reported that he had not missed a drill since he enlisted on September 21, 1920. At 48 drills a year, that would make a total for the period of 408 drills, and it meant coming to the armory one night a week. Employes of brigade | headquarters checked back the at- tendance records to January, 1926, and they found that Sergt. Scott was mark- | ed present every night. It was further explained that the attendance forms | prior to that date were not available, | but there was no reason to doubt the | statement of the sergeant. He originally | enlisted in Company B, 121st Engineers, ! when that unit was organized, and later transferred to the Medical Department Detachment. Officials of the local Guard were in- terested spectators at the recent hear- | ing of the Public Utilities Commission | of the District of Columbia on the | matter of a central terminal for all the bus lines running into the city. The | interest of the local militiamen was to | ascertain any result of the meeting, | as they have a suggestion that if such | a terminal is put up, that the Guard would be interested in negotiating for the upper floors for armory purposes. It was pointed odt that if the com- panies finally get together and agree to finance the construction of a build- | ing, they might be interested in adding | a story or two which could be rented to the Guard for armory purposes. 1f| such a plan were worked out ahead of | time, then certain specific arrange- ments could be made in the construc- | tion for special features needed by the Guard in its training, including provis- | 1on for a spacious drill hall, something that it lacks now. Of course, if such a plan were en: tertained by those who might be en- couraged to construct the building, it is probable that a long term lease | would be wanted. This, however, could | not be given without a special act of | Congret the Guard now has author- | ity only for the making of a lease from | year to year, Presentation of such a | Tequest to Congress, of course, would bring up again the matter of the con- struction of a special building for the | training of the local citizen soldiers, in- stead of putting out thousands of dol- | Jars annually in rental for private| buildings. It is also probable that if | such a proposition were to be enter- tained, it would be necessary for lhe‘ local Guard to obtain vastly more money for rental purposes than it now obtains. ‘While the local Guard officials do noti anticipate that they will have to get out of the Government Hotel buildings | within a short time, nevertheless they | have been prohibited from doing any | remodeling of the buildings, particularly T-U puilding, in order to make rooms | large énough for training and recreation | purposes. It was said to be probable that this building might be taken away | from the Guard when it is necessary | to close the present building adjacent to | the Capitol grounds to make way for the improvement of that area into a ark. However, as no money has yet | een appropriated for improvement pur- | poses or for razing the buildings in| that section, officials of the Guard will feel a little easy until that time, al-| though they have not relented in their efforts to have Congress provide a satis- factory building. Facing such unsatisfactory conditions as it does. the Guard is preparing to make 'further efforts at the next Con- gress to have some kind of legislation passed which will better its facilities | for training purposes. Just what form | this will take has not been determined, it was said, although it is probable that | efforts Will be made to have introduced and passed a bill which will provide a structure on Government-owned ground, something that will serve the Guard for many years to come and relieve it of | the necessity of moving from place to place, each worse than its previous quarters. | Supply sergeants of the local Guard have been busy during the past few | ‘weeks getting ready to issue the Sum- mer cotton uniforms to the members of the Guard, and taking up and storing the Winter uniforms. Orders have been issued for the appearance of the mem- bers of the Guard in their Summer dress next month, it was announced. The rifle range at Camp Simms, Con- gress Heights, D. C., is proving very popular on Sundays to members of the Guard, it was said at brigade head- quarters. Scores of the officers and men may be seen there every week firing their scores on the range, some of them in an effort to obtain an ap- pointment to the rifle team which will Tepresent the local Guard at the na- tional matches to be held at Camp Perry, Ohio. Capt. Hobart T. Walker, Headquar- ters’ Detachment, Special Troops, 29th Division, has been detailed as summary court for the 29th Division Military | Police Company, it was announced, | while Pirst Lieut. William T. Roy, 29th Division Military Police Company, has been detailed as summary court for the | Headquarter's Detachment, Special | ‘Troops, 29th Division, and the Head- | quarter's Detachment, 29th Division. For the purpose of enabling members | of the Headquarter’s Detachement, Spe- cial Troops, 29th Division, and Head- qaurter’s Detachment, 29th Division, to complete pistol instruction at Camp Simms before the 1929 Summer training encampment, split drills have been or- | dered on the following dates: May 19, 21, 26 and 28, June 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18, 23 and 25, July 7, 9, 14, 16, 31 and 23. Groups scheduled for instructions have been ordered to assemble at the armory not later than 9 o'clock on the morning of the Sundays on-which their presence is required. The ceremonies incident to the pres- entation of a flag to_the local Guard by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to be competed for each year, which were scheduled to have been held last week at the Central High School Stadium, were postponed until Tues- | day. The time of presentation is to be announced later. At that time the troops will be formed at the armory and will be marched to the stadium, | ;‘:ere the formal ceremonies will take lace. Pyt. William Chase has been_trans- | ferred from the active to the Reserve | list of the 29th Division Military Po- lice Co., on account of business inter- | ference with his military dutles, Pvt. Joseph S. Goodkowitz has been | transferred from the Reserve to the active list of Company E, 12lst Engineers. | — | Pyt. J. P. Blount, Battery A, 260th | Coast Artillery, it was Bnrrz'ounrr‘d at | Brigade Headquarters, will go to Quan- tico in June to participate in the try- outs for selections’ of men for the in- | ternational rifle team. Pvt. Blount was 2 member of the National Guard rifle team last year. It is probbale it was said that other officers and men of the Guard might be selected later to par- ticipate in the Quantico try-outs. With 100 per cent attendance to its credit, the Medical Department De- tachment, 260th Coast Artillery, heads the list of Guard units for the past week, according to figures compiled at the Brigade Headquarters from the kly drill reports. It is classed as | iperfor” in attendance, and with it in this group is one other organization, the band, 121st Engineers, with a per- wentage of 91.17.
