AVING completed thelr two weeks of feld training on their home station, officers and men of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, after storing thelt field equipment in their armory, took a brief respite last week.

Ward, master of the Fourth degree, Knight of Co- lumbus, for the district of Maryland and the District of Columbia, an- nounced st a meeting of the officers of Washington General Assembly that plans are being made to exemplify | L Officers of the Ladies’ Oriental Shrine N, D. 20th Division Headquarters Troops and 121st Regiment of Engineers. After this short vacation the Guards- ple of insignia of each unit in the | | State be forwarded to the chiet of the | National Guard Bureau in order that | 12. As to where the degree will be held will be dependent on which city & degree on Columbus day, October | men will return to their weekly drill duties and start a hard Fall and Win- ter armory drill schedule, which will carry them up to the annual inspec- tions, which, according to plans, are to be made this year by boards of Regular Army officers from other jurisdictions. It should be explained that during the period of short- age of funds because of the gov- ernmental economy the inspections ‘were made by the regular instructors assigned to the various outfits. How- ever, it was said that funds now are available for the transportation of officers for these inspections, and they will be resumed. However, it was in- | dicated that the drill schedules of the militia units would have to be ar-| ranged to suit the itineraries of the | warious inspectors, and that it might be necessary in some cases to hold these drills on Saturday nights. Despite the ban on the movement | of all of the District of Columbia | troops into the Pennsylvania war area as planned, 2 officers and 15 enlisted men of the divisional outfit went to Pennsylvania, where they served with Maj. Gen. Reckord, commanding the 29th National Guard Division, which is composed of troops from this city, the States of Maryland and Virginia and a portion of Pennsylvania. This contingent was headed by Maj. Wil- liam T. Roy and Capt. Hugh Ever- ett, jr. In addition, Capt. J. C. Jensen, Ordnance Department, in & complete set of each arm or service ‘mllht be presented to the chief | thereof. “The National Guard Bureau al taches importance to the early com- | pletion of these sets because the chiefs have been informed that the gifts are | to be made; and it is desired to keep | before their eyes a constant reminder that they have responsibility for Na- | tional Guard as well as Regular Army | units and must take them into consid- eration in formulating all plans and policies. “It is, therefore, desired that those States that have not already done so forward samples of insignia at once 50 that all sets may be completed and presented.” . ‘The War Department has announced that it will continue its policy of not supporting additional small arms target ranges at or near home stations of the National Guard units. For the last several years, it was said, the National Guard Bureau sup- ported in whole or in part approxi- mately 400 home station target ranges each year throughout the National Guard. Funds could not be made available to care for a greater number, and in all cases maintenance and re- pair estimates had to be pared to the bone. There are said to be roughly 1,000 troop locations at which troops re- quired to fire small arms are stationed. has the greater number of can- didates, either Baltimore or Wash- | ington.

While the local troops were consid- erably disappointed over the fact that they could not go to Pennsylvania for the maneuvers, nevertheless it was said that they transformed their rifle range camp into a model. The sudden two new factors enter the picture to which consideration must be given. The chief, National Guard Bureau, | has appointed a board of officers to consider the feasibility of installing or enlarging centrally located target ranges to serve the needs of several units within a given radius, making use of motor transportation for the pur- pose.

National Guard units have received instructions from the War Department | that they must send in the data con- cerning their histories. “The National Guard Bureau,” says the letter, “is particularly anxious for | reasons of its own as well as in the | interests of the States, that all out-| standing matters relating to histories of units or to !nsignia be cleared up before October 1, 1935. ! “Every effor should, therefore, be| made by the Military Department of each State to insure that this work | be undertaken immediately and pushed to & prompt conclusion. | “Histories not approved before De-| cember 31, 1935, may be in danger of | encountering serious difficulties, and those not approved or completed by October 1 cannot expect to receive the | same measure of assistance from the National Guard Bureau that has been possible in the past. “December 31, 1935, has been fixed by the War Department as the dead- | line for the reconstituting of World | ‘War units. | “This means that no unit brought ! into existence after this date will be recognized as being a reconstitution of | & World War unit demobilized after | the war unless steps have been taken meanwhile to identify it with the pre- viously existing unit. “Surveys such as are called for in the Regular Army and Organized Re- serves should, therefore, be made for the National Guard units in all States in which this has not already been done, and appropriate steps should be taken to announce the intentions of the State military authorities with respect to National Guard units al- located to the State and not yet or- ganized, or already organized and ‘whose histories have not yet been ap- proved, identifying them with appro- priate World War units of the Nl-‘ tional Guard demobilized and not yet | Teconstituted. “Copies of such orders as may be issued should be furnished the Na- tional Guard Bureau for its own use, in certain limitations. It is believed, it was said, that a workable solution will be reached. it apparent, however, it was indi- cated, that considerable time and study. must be afforded a project of this extent. It must, therefore, be understood that considerable time will ‘rllpu befare the bureau will be pre- pared to make a pronouncement. Sergt. Norval B.
