Estimates for Militia Training to Be Revised Orders Received From Make Changes on Transport IRST indications that the mobilization of the 20th Na- tional Guard Division will be held at Indiantown Gap, Pa., as planned by Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, division com- mander, came in instructions received | at the local National Guard head- quarters during the week for a revi- sion of the original estimates to cover the encampment, which were sent in some time ago. However, there has not been re- eeived any formal approval of the movement of the camp site, but it was said that these usually come some- | time after the estimates are in. From | the preparations that are being made in the various units throughout the division area, it is apparent that some assurance has been received that the plans for the division camp will re- ceive approval. On the other hand stories emanat- ing from Virginia points indicate that ® general mobilization of Regular Army and militia on the Eastern Sea- board is being discussed, and, if this is carried out, it is probable that the | Indiantown Gap movement may be | abandoned. The War Department is said to be working on plans for this general mobilization of fighting troops. The original proposal was for a mobilization in the vicinity of New York City, but it is reported that the Virginia Militia authorities have indicated that their home State would form an ideal place for the mobiliza- tion, particularly as there are a num- | ber of coast defense areas along the Virginia coast, and there is ample ground for concentration of troops. It was said at the local National | Guard headquarters that no informa- tion had been received there concern- ing the proposal to participate in a general Army mobilization on the East Coast, and, until inforfhation was re- ceived, preparations would be pushed forward looking to the coming divi- sional mobilization at Indiantown Gap, | Pa. | The orders to revise the estimates | for the proposed Indiantown Gap camp were necessitated, it is under- stood, because of the shortage of mo- tor equipment, and that shortage is due to legislation which prohibits the expenditure of any funds appropri- ated by Congress for the repair of motor vehicles constructed prior to 1920. This resulted in laying up not only & number of war-time-built trucks used by the District National Guard, but other Guard units through- out the country are said to be seri- ously affected. In order to make the movement of troops for the mobilization effective, it was indicated, it has been found necessary to pool the motor trans- portation of a number of organiza- tions. When the 29th Division moves into camp it will be necessary to ob- tain some of the vehicles of the 28th National Guard Division, which is in Pennsylvania. Because of this shortage of motor transport it was said that the move- ment to Indiantown Gap, or what- ever other point is selected for the mobilization of the local troops, will be made in two parts. The equipment for the camp will be sent ahead sev- eral days prior to the start of the troops, and then the vehicles will be required to return to the District for the movement of personnel. Under plans now being formulated by Col. John W. Oehmann, acting commander of the local Guard and commander of the 121st Regiment of Engineers, the division engineer unit, the troops will leave here Saturday afternoon and are scheduled to arrive at the camp site on that night, so that they will be ready early Sunday to complete the making of their camp. This will have them all ready to take the field for training and other maneuvers on | the first Monday in the camp, and this, it was said, will coincide with the plans for the division training Pprogram. Maj. William T. Roy, commanding the Division Headquarters Troops, has been seriously ill with pneumonia, it | was said at brigade headquarters, but | is reported to be recovering. ‘The boxing team of the local Guard {s planning an interunit meet, to be held at the Pennsylvania Avenue Ar- mory at 8:30 on the night of Satur- day, April 6.
