District National Guard In the midst of moving from one to another, officials armory W. tof the National Guard of the District of Columbia last week were approached by a representative of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission seel information on armory requirements for presentation to the full commission, which has undertaken to study the question of h for the local troops. Very recently this body disapproved of the Bowman bill, which would have authorized the purchase of the Wash- ington Auditorfum and its remodelin; for the ‘mament use of the National Guard for the training of the local troops. The bill never had much chance of getting through the present Con- gress, but this was made certain when the park and planning commission step] into the limelight with its stamp of disapproval. Those familiar with the powers and duties of the Federal ing com- mission do not see what result is to come from the activities of the body in interesting itself in an armory. It was formed purely for the planning of the Capital City and its environs, such as mapping out highways, etc., and the acquisition and planning of parks and recreation spaces. Even after it ac- quires lands for park purposes its Jjurisdiction over them ceases, for it is the duty of another agency of the Fed- eral Government here, the office of pub- lic buildings and public parks of the National Capital to develop them. ‘There never has been given to the public or to the Guard officials any ex- Pplanation or reason for turning down the Washington Auditorium bill. It can only be surmised that it was be- cause of the close proximity of the building to the Lincoln Memorial Bridge and the B street boulevard leading to it” But the fact that the planning commission _disapproved its purchase and remodeling for use @s an armory for the National Guard does not mean that it will be removed. It is private property, and the only way its removal could be brought about would be by act of Congress providing not only the authority but the money with which to_take the land for public use. Unless, it was pointed out, the plan- ning commission has sufficient influence with Congress to bring about an ap- propriation for the acquistiion of a site and the erection of a building thereon for armory purposes its consideration of the matter will not amount to much. Present officials of the Guard and those who have preceded them have worked for more than a quarter of a century in an effort to convince Congress of the needs of the local troops in the mat- ter of adequate training facilities. ‘Thelr work, in more recent years, has had the support of National d offl- cials throughout the country, who have sought to persuade members of that at least the militia of the Capital City should have armory facilities wi would stand out as a model for States to follow. The Federal War De- partment, it was added, is constantly urging the States to provide armory facilities for their citizen troops as a con- dition precedent for the recognition of the units and for the loan of millions of dollars’ worth of valuable military property necessary for training, but the District of Columbia from year year the Guard is tossed about into buildings which no other Federal agency would have. And, as a matter of fact, it has been ruled that the local Guard has the same standing as any of the Federal departments and independent bureaus, so far as the allocation of space is concerned, ‘While officials of the Guard are not spurning any aid they might get from any source in their efforts to have an armory provided, about the only help they may expect from the planning commission is a recommendation that if and when funds for a bullding and site are provided it be located at a point in the city which the commission considers will fit in with its planning scheme. The first ald must come from the trict Commissioners. The previous much disposition not shown. to help the local Guard officials to get money for their project, but there is a hope that some help might come from the incoming board. The fact that the loners must be looked to for aid was contained in a statement made to Guard officials by Senator Reed Smoot, when he told them: . “If I were you I would take this matter up with the District Commis- sloners and have prepared some legis- lation, approved of b{nme budget, and thenn&nve ltm[]:‘hced one of the ap- propriation s which has not been enacted into law.” Although this suggestion has been , no effective results have been forthcoming. There are in the District Building, it is known, certain under- officials who are opposed to the use of District funds for the construction of an armory. It is their viewpoint that the National Guard, having been ruled to be a Federal activity, the Federal Government alone should furnish the funds for such a building. On the other hand, it is pointed out that the District Militia is to the Capital City the same as a State militia is to the State. Its services are available to aid the police of the city in the case of trouble of any kind, the same as a State militia. 1t may be recalled that at the time of the Klu Klux parade here sev- eral years ago the Guard officials were Trequested to assemble the organization and keep it available for an emer- gency. This was done, the troops bein; assembled at their armory and hel there until after the parade was over. Incidentally, the lack of an Aarmory here is the bulwark which is standing in the way of the formation of addi- tional units. The present units are crowded for space, and there would be no room for any additional organiza- tions in the present armory, even if they were organized. The transfer of the Natlonal Guare from the hotel building on the U‘xllTord\ Station Plaza which has served as an armory for several years to the Na- tional Hotel Bullding, at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, was started. last week. The latter structure has been acquired by the Government and will eventually form a part of the site for the new municipal center. So the stay of the militia in this building will be for an indefinite period, and in the :rlneTm.lrge the officials must keep up heir efforts to have a buildin, - \'idAesd {:r tlhcm. il e local units have put in their required 36 drills for the present quar- ter, there will not be any regular as- sembly of all units until April 8, al. though there will be assemblies for some for the purpose of transferring prop- erty from one Wflmk’)"thfl O:hel'. P8 were req empty their lockers in the old Government Hotel armory at drill last Tuesday, and begin- on Wednesday the work of trans- ich | ferring the lockers was “Inasmuch as units will not have a regular drill between March 17 and March 31" sald an order fissued at brigade headquarters, “unit command- ers will make arrangements for the moving of other property of their units at such times as may be convenient ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE.

The reputation of the National Guard will be injured if vandalism and wanton damage is permitted. “Organization commanders will cau- tion pemennel‘ of thl;lll;mcommlmga against damaging or al property at the National Hotel Building. The area within which the unit is located will be evidence of the morale and dis- cipline of their organization. All offi- cers, non-commissioned officers and other enlisted men are charged with the responsibility of protecting the property and promptly reporting acts of depredation. ‘The Headquarters Detachment, 29th Division, the 29th Division Military Police Company and Companies D and F completed the transfer of their property last week. The Headquarters and Service Company and band and Company C, all of the 121st Regiment of Engineers, are scheduled to complete their moving today, while Companies A and B, 121st Engineers, are on the list to _complete their moving tomor- row. The last of the units to move will be the Medical Department De- tachment and Company E, both of the Engineer regiment, which are to be moved on Tuesda Pvt. (first class) Walter E.

Donnelly, 20th Mili- tary Police Company, has been ordered honorably discharged from the Guard on account of removal from the Dis- trict of Columbia. ‘With 100 per cent of the personnel on their rolls in attendance, two units of the local Guard topped the list in drill attendance and were classified as superior, according to figures made public last week at the brigade hea quarters. Two other uits, although not reaching the 100 per cent mark, were placed in the same class. Those which attained the 100 per cent mark were the Quartermaster Corps Detachment and the Medical Department Detach- ment, 260th Coast Artillery. The other two units, with their percentages, fol- low: Twenty-ninth Division Military Police Company, 98.36, and the Head- quarters Detachment, 29th Division, 91.83. The other units, in their respec- tive classifications, with percentages, follow: Excellent—Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, 83.33; band, 121st Engineers, 81.81. Very satisfactory—Company C, 121st Engineers, 75.71; Battery A, 260th Coast Artillery, T. Battery B, 260th Coast Artillery, 72. Company B, 121st En- gineers, 70.96.

Unsatisfactory — Company E, 121st the National Guard costs materially, the bureau says, and continues: It has been only by the exercise of the most rigid gurervmon and economy that the National Guard has been maintained on its present satisfactory footing and has made progress in organization, training and equipment. Notwithstand- ing this, the National Guard is now bet- ter equi] than ever before. Through the publication by the Militia Bureau of National Guard tables of equipment and allowances, both of which are complementary to the tables of organi- zation, every unit commander should know and should be able to obtain every article of equipment and expend- able material to which his unit is entitled. One of the outstanding problems has been the procurement of a satisfactory and suitable field uniform. This, the bureau officials say, has been accom- plished in part through the approval of a plan formulated by the Militia Bureau which had for its object the procurement of such a uniform with a blouse of the roll-collar type to be issued to the National Guard during the calendar years 1929 and 1930. A large quantity of these uniforms has already been manufactured and issues will be made as rapidly as requisitions are received and approved. Another outstanding National Guard supply problem is the question of horses. Of the Federally-owned horses on hand, many were transferred to the guard from the war surplus in 1923, and replacements of Government-owned horses since that date have been ob- tained by the transfer of condemned horses from the Regular Army. The experience of the Militla Bureau in the use of horses in the hands of the National Guard during the last field training season indicated that a large number of these horses, due to the extreme age and other defects, were suitable for armory drill. A survey of these horses has been made and ap- proximately 950 of them are being eliminated. These horses are being re- placed and the number on hand in- creased through the purchase of 1,230 horses during the last fiscal year. The purchase of this number of horses was saild to have been made possible through the application of savings made in the Milif Bureau appropriations and through arrangements made for the purchase of horses authorized in the War Department appropriation bill for 1929. As soon as the local units 6f the Guard settle down in their new armory immediate steps will be taken to pre- re for the annual armory inspections glore inspectors sent here from the War De) ent. The inspectors this year will include only armory drill work as the fleld training examinations are to be made this year during the annual encampments, at which time unit com- manders must include in their schedules a period of three days for maneuvers.

Or, to phrase it in another way, the Viking offers, at medium price, many of the characteristics formerly associated with higher priced cars. First, it is a 90-degree, V-type eight of advanced design—and gives you all the smoothness, quietness, and ready power for which this type of engine is famous. The Viking hasper- formance—whether you judge it by speed, power, acceleration, or nicety of operation. Just ask any owner, Second, the Viking is a beauti- ful car. Its Fisher bodies are trimly V.TXOER EBION tailored. Itislow and fleet appearing. And its interiors carry out this beauty in their luxurious appointment. Third, it is a comfortable car. The Viking is generous in size and un- usually roomy inside. Seats are wide and deep-cushioned. Springs and shock absorbers are synchronized to provide splendid roadability. Finally, the Viking Eight is built to last—built todeliver dependable, con- tinued service month after month. Viking owners are enthusiastic.
