C. ing of United States and Dis- trict officials and friends of the organization, the National Guard of the District of Co- lumbia will formally dedicate its new buildings on the rifle range at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, D. C. These are bulldings which the Guard was able to obtain through funds allotted to it by the Public Works Administra- tion and furnish a long-desired need for the purpose of providing sufficient and proper storage for the thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment which is loaned it for tralning purposes by the War Department. ‘The dedication will be in the nature of a house-warming and oyster roast. The District of Columbia Commis- sioners have been invited to attend, as have Maj. Gen. Leach, chief of the National Guard Bureau of the War Department; Public Works Admin- istrator Harold Ickes, and Assistant Secretary of War and various officers of the Army as well as many friends of the organization and former of- ficers of the Guard. Entertainment for the guests will be provided by National Guard talent, and, in addition, if the weather per- mits, there will be a military demon- Bmfl & distinguished gather- stration outside of the buildings, which | will be participated in by the bat- teries of the 260th Coast Artillery under the direction of Maj. Walter W. Burns. Each unit of the Guard will have an exhibit in the buildings to show some particular feature of its training work and its duties while in the fleld. The officers and men have worked for days in the preparation of these ex- | hibits and they are expected to prove quite interesting to the guests, and particularly to those who have had no military training. The buildings consist of one large storehouse, of brick and concrete, two stories high. It consists of one large room on each floor. There are also two gun sheds and two one-story storehouses of brick. The gun sheds will be used for the storage of surplus guns and equipment of the Coast Artillery, and each unit of the Guard which has motor equipment will be assigned a place to store it in one of | the buildings. The floors of the buildings are paved with cobble stones which were removed from Four-and-a- half street southwest when the street was repaved. Col. Oehmann made arrangements to get this material | when it was found .that the funds would not be sufficient to provide floor- ing for the buildings. labor. Col. Ochmann hopes to have suffi- clent training equipment alloted here, together with motor vehicles so that the local units will not have to de- pend on other States when a large movement is planned. Under the plans now being perfected for the divisional mobilization this Summer for training purposes, it is planned | to use motor transport, but there are not sufficlent vehicles to move the local troops. The local officials will have to borrow vehicles from the 28th National Guard Division in Pennsylvania and in turn the local division will lend its vehicles for the Pennsylvania troop movement. The supply of vehicles was materially cut this year in accordance with an act of Congress which prohibited the ex- penditure of any funds for the repair and maintenance of any motor ve- hicle in the Army or National Guard which was constructed prior to 1920, and that was what most of the or- ganizations had. Most of the vehicles were equipment purchased during the ‘World War, ‘Target practice on the local range will be inaugurated today when the | 1st Battalion of Engineers will begin their work. The unit reported on the range last night and the shooting will | start early this morning after the troops have been given breakfast. They also will be given their dinner and will be dismissed in the after- noon. The 1st Battalion also has been assigned the range on April 28, May 12, June 2 and June 16. The 2d Battalion will inaugurate its practice next Sunday and also will have ex- clusive use of the range May 5, May 26, June 9 and June 23. Those required to fire include offi- cers with less than 15 years’ service who have not qualified with the rifle either in 1933 or 1934, except those who have qualified as expert riflemen at any time; all enlisted men of let- tered companies armed with the rifle or pistol and the Headquarters and Service Company who have not qual- ified with the rifie in either 1933 or 1934. Enlisted men armed with pistol in the lettered compenies will be re- quired to fire the rifle. Officers and enlisted men of the lettered com- panies and enlisted men of the Head- quarters and Service Company, armed with the rifle, who qualified in 1933 or 1934 will not be permitted to fire for requalification, because no ammunition allowance has been au- thorized for this class. Requalifica- tion, however, is required after a lapse of two practice seasons, succeed-~ ing the last qualification. Those required to fire the auto- matic rifle are officers of lettered campanies who have less than 15 years’ service, except those who as offi- cers have qualified at any time as automatic rifle experts or as automatic rifle sharpshooter over course C; eight enlisted men of each lettered company who have qualified with the service rifle and have not qualified with the automatic rifie in 1933 or 1934. Men assigned to the automatic rifle must have qualified as marksmen or better. The order points out to unit com- manders that the transfer of men | from the National Guard of the United | States inactive to the active list after June 1, 1935, where such men have not qualified during the current or the two preceding target seasons, should be given careful consideration, for the transfer of such unqualified men to the active list, increases the unit's total number of men required to fire and reduces its percentage of qualification. Such unqualified men will be required to fire for qualification prior to the close of the annual encampment. The orders direct that each man fire the rfie or automatic rifle assigned to him. The practice of pooling weapons at the firing points will not | Lodge it was said, because it prevents the soldier to obtain “zero” of weapon issued to him, prevents sol- dier acquiring confidence in the weapon he would have to use in an emergency and results in poor organ- ization showing in firing combat and musketry problems at field training patriotic exercises to be held by the | camps. vited to attend the Grant day exercises | schedule commanders will be held strictly, ac- countable for the attendance of thef | He obtained it | without cost and it was laid by relief will be required to fire the preseribed weapon and course and those who fail to do so will have court-martial charges preferred against them unless exceptional circumstances prevail. “Each unit will strive to increase its proficiency in the use of weapons and to successfully complete the prescribed qualification courses in range practice, “Unit commanders will take such action as is necessary to insure that all personnel on their rolls on the last day of camp have fired the prescribed qualification courses except those not required to fire due to qualification in 1933 or 1934.” ‘The District of Columbia Guara rifie team defeated the George Washe ington University rifiemen on the late ter's range by a score of 1,388 to 1,359, Sergt.
