‘' THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, of combat is & primary essential to the occupation of any staff position. All of the above is included in the Militia Bureau’s picture of “basic train- ‘ng” which applied to the company and battalion remains of the same general character from year to year in the Na- tional Guard, due principally to limita- tions imposed by available time. For all commanders, staffs and for this pur~ pose, communication troops, extension of scope of training should proceed from year to year. In concluding, attention is called to one of the weak points still reported in | National Guard ‘training, viz: Failure | to insist on exact knowledge of training | regulations and other texts and an exact | execution of drills.

Guard officials, after | It is also emphasized that’ knowledge ' have a total weight of 58,00 pounds. an investigation, reported that with some changes in the structure it would make an ideal building not only for the training of the troops but for the | storage of the thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment which is loaned the organization by the War Department for training purposes. The District Commissioners’ move followed this action of the Federal planning body. The present armory was acquired | when the District government took over | the hotel in connection with the pur- | chase of property in that area for the purpose of establishing the proposed Municipal Center. While it is not known just how long the Guard will be allowed to remain there, it is certain that it will not be for an indefinite period, as the structure will be razed when funds are appropriated for begin- ning the bullding of the District’s | project. One of the difficulties in the obtain- ing of funds for a new armory has been the attitude of some District officials toward the militla due to its semi- Federal status. These officials have contended that since it is a Federal organization the Federal Government should bear the entire expense of the project. On the other hand, it was argued that the organization is a similar organization in that the President of | the United States is the head and exer- | cises only the same functions as a gov- ernor exercises over a State militia and that he is not, the head of it because he is the commander in chief of the armed forces of the United States. 80 far as could be learned, the local | militia officials have not formulated any plans for again presenting their case to Congress. The committee appointed by the Commissioners has not made any report as yet and it is probable that the Guard officers are waiting to see what recommendations are made by that body. On the matter of expense to the District, numbers of civic and patriotic organizations in the city have taken formal action on the matter and they have, without exception, voted to provide a building at the entire expense | ©f the District if necessary. One of the great needs specified in | the efforts to obtain the armory is that of having all of the troops under one | 100f. This, it was pointed out, would provide for better administration. As it is now, they are scattered in various | parts of the city. The greater portion | of them are in the National Hotel | Bullding, but the Coast Artillery unit is | located on the Southwest water front | and the colored troops are at Twelfth | and U streets. Aside from this, the | militia 15 required to store its expensive equipment in a warehouse on lower Pennsylvania avenue, where it is con- tinuously subjected to the hazard of fire and where the protection cannot be provided which the War Department | expects of other militia organizatfons in | the States. While making an effort to obtain the Washington Auditorium, the local Guard officers also had their eyes on the Pen- sion Office Building in Judiciary Square. This structure, it was pointed out by dad i them, would make an ideal armory, and, Poonior '},'."-k Wl further, it would perpetuate the memo- | v tfadly P Tl to the Civil War soldiers. 1ts large | German_lris first floor would make an ideal drill hall, | Hardy Phlox large enough for the drilling of any | Delphinium outfit in the local Guard, and the rooms | in the galleries would make excellent | company rooms. Patriotic bodies have | indorsed its use for this purpose and | also for its use as a meeting place for | patriotic bodies composed of veterans of | past wars, The building now is occupled by the | General Accounting Office, but provi- | sion is to be made in the Avenue tri- angle for & new building for this gov- ernmental unit.

This physically disqualified officer hav- ing entered a status which prevents his use in filling a_vacancy on the active list, the War Department holds, does not prevent the promotion of the next senior in grade without delay, if quali- fied. This decision has been announced in_connection with the War Department. | 23, 1930, requiring that all retirements of whatever class, civil, military, naval, Jjudicial, legislative, or otherwise, and for whatcver cause retired, take effect on the first day of the month following the month in which sald retirement would otherwise be effective. Officers of the Army attaining the age of 64 are retained on the active list include the last day of the month in which they attain the age of 64 years, and during that period will continue to receive the same pay and allowances to which they were entitled on the day they attained the age of 64 years. How- ever, their retention on the active list for retirement purposes is not a bar to t.hedepromvfion of the next senior in grade. ASSAILS COURT GROUP | Angered Filipino Legislator Brands Three Americans as “Crooks.” BY WALTER ROBB. ‘zly Radio to The Star. | MANILA, Philippine Islands, Sep- cent loser in a $25,000 case, used the privilege of the floor in three American members of the Phil- ippine Supreme Court. He alleged that he had documentary evidence that one of them is a bribe taker, another a usurer and that the third favors a leading American attorney. Alonso’s first outburst last week pro- voked two of the justices to issue state- ments in the press. Today's vitupera- tions answered the statements and re- vealed Alonso's evident purpose to as- perse all the American justices.
