Twenty-Ninth Divisiona 1 Concentration Proposal May Have to Give Way to Larger Movement 0{ TI’OOPS. troops and militia units in the vicinity of New York this Summer may upset tke plans on which. the local militia has been working to have a mobilization of the 29th National Guard Division of which 1t is a component part assembled in the vicinity of Indiantown Gap, Pa. If the Army’s plan materializes, of course the plans of Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, commanding the 29th Di- vision, which comprises the National Guard units of this city, all in the States of Maryland and Virginia and a portion of Pennsylvania, will have to be stopped, it is believed Elaborate plans are in process for the movement of the 29th Divisional units from their home stations to the Indiantown Gap camp site, but it is expected that these will have to be scrapped for the major operation pro- posed by the Army. A recommendation already is before the commanding gen- eral of the 3d Corps Area for the 29th Divisional eamp. It has been there for some time, and no approval has yet been officially received. It is believed that it has been held in abeyance be- cause of the Army's mobilization. which is declared to be the largest peace-time concentration of troops. The proposed divisional mobilization would have been the first since the 29th Division was organized subsequent to the World War. The proposed mobilization will give the local troops a field training which many of them have never participated in. Of course, some of the members of the local militia are veterans of the World War, but the organizations, for the most part, are made up of young men who have had their first taste of military training since the World War.

The Engineer units were completed last week and the Coast | Artillery batteries will be the first or- ganizations to complete the work. 1 Col. John W. Oehmann has pre- | pared a number of tentative projects for improvement of Guard facilities which might possibly come within the | scope ot the appropriations in the | Government’s works bill. The projects | have been referred to various officers | of the Guard, with instructions to pre- | pare detailed estimates of the work so that they will be ready if the Guard is called upon to supply them.

Owing to the probability that there | will not be Government vehicles avail- able for the movement of the 260th Coast Artillery to its training camp, the camp estimates of that organiza- i tion were ordered revised to provide for the movement to Fort Monroe by other than Government transporta- tion. Col. Oehmann participated last week in a conference with the District of Columbia Commissioners’ Fourth of July Committee on plans for the celebration of Independence day. It was said that the Guard will partici- pate, furnishing men to carry out the various details that are planned. including repairs of old | grading and building of | THE SUNDAY STAfi WASHINGT ARCH 24, 1935—PART TWO.

The Military Service Legion of the District of Columbia is compossd of honorably discharged members of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, and members of the inde- pendent _nilitary commands which formed the nucleus of the National Guard, honorably discharged mem- bers of the United States Volunteer Forces, United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps. It was organized Feb- ruary 7, 1916, by the late Brig. Gen. Richard Douglas Simms, one-time commander of the local militia. The objects of the association are to unite in a permanent organization all men who have had military service and who now are permanent residents of the District of Columbia; to pre- serve recollections of such service and to renew and preserve old friendships; to constitute an organization of rep- resentative citizens held together by patriotic interest in the welfare of the military establishment, in which they have served in the past, an organ- ization capable of exercising a helpful influence for the promotion of the growth and efficiency of our local National Guard, by endeavoring to create in the community a more gen- eral interest therein and a better un- derstanding of the earnest and effi- cient work which it performs and of the valuable training obtained by men serving in its ranks and of the im- portant part it forms of the national military system. Preparations are being made, un- der the direction of Col. John W. Oeh- mann, acting commander of the local militia, for an oyster roast and enter- tainment, to be given as a house- warming feature of dedicating the new buildings which were erected at the rifle range at Camp Simms, Con- gress Heights, D. C., with public works funds allotted to the local Guard. Various details have been assigned to the various officers of the Guard, and it is planned to have an exhibi- tion of Guard activities, as well as entertainment by talent from within the organization. Public officials and friends of the militia will be invited to be guests of | the officers. Orders have been received at the local militia headquarters ordering the relief of Maj. Lindsay McD. Silvester, senior United States Army instructor assigned to the 29th National Guard Division. He will have been on duty here for three years at the time he leaves, September, after the annual fleld training _period. M.

In- steady, on the weeks in which these Wednesdays fall, there will be full battalion formations at 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays, April 20, May 25 and July 20.
