Organized Reserves ‘With the completion of the circulat- library, now in course of being es- ggudud at Washington Reserve head- quarters, at 734 New York avenue, it 18 believed that the local Reserve head- quarters have one of the finest collections of military text books and Army regulations of any Reserve head- quarters in the country. Plans have been been perfected for enlarging the unit library of the Washington Reserve units, and in addition to text books, mom and other publications ?er- to Infantry and Field Artillery subjects, similar books and publications pertaining to all branches of the service, combat and non-combat, are to be se- cured for the local Reserve library. Ac- cording to the present plans, the library will provide Reserve officers of the Dis- trict of Columbia with the latest avail- able information juired by these of- ficers for study, reference, etc. present library contains a com- plete set of Army regulations, training regulations, technical and fleld regula- tions, pertinent training manuals, pub- lications from service schools, and pri- vate publications on military subjects. ‘When enlarged, the library will include the latest text books and publications used at all of the Army service schools, a8 follows: Command and General Staff School, Coast Artillery School, Signal School, Pield Artillery School, Engi- neer School, Medical School, Chemical ‘Warfare School, Ordnance School and Quartermaster School. In order that Reserve officers of the District may be informed of the sub- Jects taken up at the conferences of other branches besides their own, local Reserve headquarters is sending every month to all Reservists in the District a complete schedule for the inactive duty training for the ensuing month. This is done so that Reserve officers may take advantage of attend; confer- ences of other branches besides their own. The importance of the inactive duty training conferences now in rogress can hardly be overly estimated, P and it is increasingly so since recent | regulations require a certificate of ca- pacity for all promotions, the examina- tions for which are based chiefly on the correspondence schools. District Reserve officers should realize that inactive duty training is the prin- cipal means of imparting military theo- retical knowledge to members of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. This training on during the Fall, Winter and ipring and takes the form of confer- ences conducted in the most part by Regular Army instructors and as indi- widual work by Reserve officers on exten- sion school courses. The encouragement given Reservists to pursue the Army extension courses has in a tremendous increase in activity in this form of training. said that both the substance and ad- ministration of the extension courses are being greatly improved and the | ‘whole project, which was new and un- familiar to the Army, is rounding into & :"ftdmy and absolutely essential ac- y. ‘The inactive duty training for units and group schools has been approved for the 1930-1931 school year. These meetings have been arranged and con- ferences prepared by regimental Regu- lar Army unit insiructors for the pri- mary purpose of increasing the pro- fessional efficiency of all Reserve offi- cers, in order that they may be better prepared to assume their duties and obligations when called to active duty. Five Reserve units of the District of Columbia will hold instructional con- ferences this week—428th Infantry, 320th Infantry, 80th Division staff offi- | ba cers, Fleld Artillery and the 343d En- gineers.

COMMAND “HANDS DOWN” | Robbers Take $800 From Store, but Act to Keep Matter “Private.” NEW YORK, December 13 (#)—In the vernacular of the Broadway hold-up man, it's “hands down,” not “hands up.” ‘Three dapper fellows, one armed with & revolver, walked into a clothing store in Times Square early today and tapped the till for $800. To the manager, Ben- Jjamin Cohen, and three customers they rked: “Keep your mitts to your sides—this is private.” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, DECEMBER 14, 1930—PART ONE.
