+ Local Militia Officers To Attend Army Schools Guard Bureau Provides Places for Two of Commissioned Group and One En- listed \WC commissioned officers and one enlisted man wiil be se- I lected from the National Guafd of the District of Co- lumbia soon after the present en- campment to attend service schools of the Army for special instruction. ‘Two of the selections will be from the Coast Artillery unit, headed by Maj. Walter W. Burns, and one from the Quartermaster Department. One Coast Artillery officer will be Belected to attend the battery officers’ course for anti-aircraft firing at Fort Monroe, Va., beginning on September 16 and ending November 9 next. The enlisted man, perhaps a non-commis- sioned officer, will be selected to at- tend the enlisted specialists’ class for radio, also to be held at the Coast Artillery post at Fort Monroe, begin- ning on September 16 and ending De- gember 20. One officer will be selected to attend the motor transport course at the ‘Quartermaster Motor Transport School at Baltimore, Md., opening on September 16 and ending on Novem- ber 8. No indication has been given at Guard headquarters as to the person- nel to attend these courses, but it is expected that the opportunity will be seized to send an officer. Officers wish- ing to attend will make their applica- tions through their commanding offi- cers and, of course, as they will be away for several weeks, they will have to make arrangements for leave from their civilian employment. The Coast Artillery unit has just returned from & field training period at Fort Monroe. It is expected that several applica- tions will be received for each of the appointments, and the commanding officers are to designate who is to be selected as principal for the course and who for alternates in the event that the principal is unable to attend. Militia officers who can make ar- rangements for the leave are usually keen for these special courses, as it gives them substantially the same in- struction that is given the Regular Army officers and fits them better for their field duties in the event of a national emergency. Upon completion of the service school courses the offi- cers also are available for imparting the instruction they received to the other officers of their commands who were not fortunate enough to be se- lected to attend the course or who were unable to accept the opportunity be- cause of pressure of their private affairs. Guard headquarters has announced the following allotment of enlisted per- sonnel strength for the various units: State Detachment, 22; Special Troops, 136; 121st Engineers, 476; 260th Coast Artillery, 282; Company A, 372d Infantry, 68, or a total of 984 enlisted men for the Guard as a ‘whole. The following promotions in Com- pany D, 21st Engineers, have been ordered on the recommendation of the unit commander: Corp. Richard A. Graham to be sergeant and Pvt. William C. Watts to be corporal. In Company A, 121st Engineers, Pvt. Narciso Frigillana has been ordered promoted to the grade of corporal. Pvt. Adam G. Mouton, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, has been ordered promoted to master sergeant and assigned to duty as per- sonnel sergeant major, 121st Engineers. Regimental headquarters has ap- proved the recommendations of the commander of the Medical Department Detachment, 121st Engineers, for the following promotions: Sergt. Paul Worksman to be staff sergeant and Pvt. Clifford F. Bailey | to be staff sergeant. | Indications have been given that the Regular Army inspections of the National Guard units for the current fiscal year will be conducted by Regu- lar Army personnel from jurisdictions other than those in which the troops to be inspected are located. For the past several years, owing to the limitation on funds for travel allowances, these inspections have been conducted largely by the regular inspectors as- signed to the various units. Commenting on this, Maj. H. C. Fellows of the National Guard Bureau said: “Armory inspections, for some time, es a result of deficiencies in funds, are not being conducted as contemplated by National Guard regulations. It appears now that for the first time in years funds will be available. er, expenses must be kept to a minimum and to successfully conduct inspections for 1936, will require the willing co-operation of all adju- tant generals, in co-operation with corps area commanders, in the matter of designating days on which inspec- tions will be made. To keep down ex- penses, the journey of inspectors must be continuous, with time only for travel and conduct of administrative and training inspections. “Conducting property inventories is not a function of these inspectors All they can do is to note the general care and condition of property. “Days other than drill days, includ~ ing Saturdays, may frequently have to be designated for inspections. This will involve planning in advance for ‘use of armories on nights required.” Maj. Fellows pointed out that the national defense act directs the Sec- retary of War to cause inspection to be made at least once each year, by inspectors general or other officers of the Regular Army, detailed by him for Man. jectives prescribed for units and head- quarters in program of next higher suthority, and which should have been scheduled prior to inspection, and, in addition, such other training as the unit commander may have scheduled. The following have been ordered transferred from the active to the in- active lists of their respective units, because of business interference with the performance of military duty: Pvt. Willard E. Brooke, Headquar- ters Detachment, Special Troops, 20th Division; Pvt. Guy C. Brewer, Medical Department Detachment, 121st Engineers, and Pvt. James C. Miller, 29th Division Military Police Company. Pvt. Joseph S. Greco, inactive list, Company F, 121st Engineers, has been ordered honorably discharged on his own request. The following promotions in the Quartermaster Corps, State Depart- ment, have been ordered: Pvt. Martin R. Keough to be ser- geant and Pvt. Warren Hughes to be corporal. Pvt. John G. Clary has been or- dered transferred in the same grade from Company D to the Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engi- neers. The appointment of Second Lieut. James F. Angier, Battery C, 260th Coast Artillery, as a first lieutenant of Coast Artillery was announced at headquarters. He has been assigned to the same unit for duty. Enlisted strength for units of the 121st Engineers have been announced as follows: Headquarters and Service Company, 68 men; band, 28; Medical Depart- ment Detachment, 20, and each let- tered company, 60.

Ross Council was pre- sided over by Councilor Walter Hay- den. An official call was received from the United Boosters® Association of West Virginia, Maryland, Penn- that purpose, to determine whether the amount and condition of property in the hands of the National Guard is satisfactory; whether the National ‘Guard is organized as prescribed by the act; whether officers and enlisted men possess the physical and other qualifications prescribed; whether the organization and, officers and men thereof are sufficiently armed, uni- formed and equipped and instructed for active duty in the fleld or coast defense, and whether records are be- ing kept in accordance with the re- quirements of the act. ‘Ma). Fellows pointed out that Na- tional Guard Bureau general instrun- tions on training of the National Guard state that the armory training period will be directed toward prepar- ing the units for field service. With these thoughts as & background, the | National Guard Bureau, he said, has been working for years on the con- duct of armory inspections. Efforts have been directed toward making these inspections helpful and of real assistance in directing training along what is believed to be correct lines of effort. The bureau, he asserted, has en- @eavored to insure the understanding of the scope of inspection by units and headquarters as well as by inspectors. Instructions have indicated that in- apections should be confined to ob. |3 sylvania, District of Columbia and Virginia to the meeting August 31 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.
