The proposed new building would be | used also for housing the local United | | States Marine Corps Reserve regi- | ment, which also is laboring under | difficulties in the matter of proper | housing for the storage of equipment | and for drills. | In view of the fact that Assistant | Secretary of the Navy, Henry Latrobe Roosevelt, has been of material as- | sistance in getting the project to its present status, the local Reservists have decided to name the proposed | structure the Henry Latrobe Roose- | velt Armory. Letters were sent out last week to certain citizens active in the civic af- fairs of the city, calling attention to the poor facilities provided for the training of the citizen sailors. It was pointed out to them in the letters that the present building is more than 100 years old, and originally consisted of | two stores, which were taken into the | navy yard reservation when additional | | property was purchased during the| | World War. Subsequently a large | lean-to of wood was added to the old | brick structure and this now serves | | as a drill hall, but it is so small that | it will only accommodate one division | |at a time. As a result of this, it is | necessary to divide the drill nights | into three, as it is impossible to have | the entire battalion assembled at one | time for drill purposes. Whenever, it | is mecessary for inspections and the like to have the entire organization on one night, the hall is so crowded that the outfit cannot maneuver as a unit. According to the letter the building has been condemned by the safety en- gineers of the Navy Department as both a fire and security hazard, yet | | nearly 300 individuals are required to | | drill in it each week. Practically the { same conditions are faced by the Ma- rine Corps Reserve. : The design for the proposed build- | ing was prepared by private architects in conference with Lieut. Sullivan and | his officers. The fund which is asked | for the structure would be spent en; | tirely for construction, as the pro- ‘posed site is owned by the Govern- | ment. Tt is within the Navy Yard | reservat; | receiving station and west of the iElevenm Street Bridge over the Ana- costia River. The plans call for the construction of facilities for docking a training ship and for hoisting and lowering small boats. At the present time the armory building is located so | far from the water front that When | a trainiug vessel is temporarily as- signed here for drill purposes a con- siderable portion of the time each | drill evening is wasted in going to and from the quay where the ship is | tied up. However, it is hoped that | in the near future the Navy Depart- ment will find it possible to assign a training ship here permanently, so that the officers and men may use it | each drill night for training pur- | poses, instead of confining their train- |ing only to work that can be per- formed in the building. It was pointed out by the Reserve | officers that the presence of a ship | here keeps the men right up to the | minute on their ship work, so that | when they go on the annual cruises | they do not have to lose any time in shaking down in their positions aboard the new vessel. From a period the Reserves were organized into di- visions and battalions for training purposes, up until the pressure for governmental economy, the local or- ganization always had a ship. It was said that the assignment of a vessel here would in a small way relieve unemployment, as a number of | the men in the Reserve are unem- to the vessel as ship keepers, reliev- ing the Regulars, who would be sent to the active fleet, where personnel! is needed. The Reservists would be placed on the active list for an in- definite period and would receive the pay of their rates, the same as those in the Regular establishment. As| ment, their positions as ship keepers could be taken by others who also are out of employment. ‘The Summer training schedule for the small training launch assigned here was ended last week when it was | hosited out of the water to protect it | from ice damage during the Winter months. This is another handicap to the organization. If they had their armory with the necessary dock ap- purtenances they could even use launches during the Winter months, as when the river is not frozen over or filled with drift ice, the boats could be lowered as a part of the drill sched- |ule, and use made of them. The launch, while used consistently on week ends during the Summer months, is wholly inadequate for the training of the Reservists, because of the limited number which can be taken out each week. | The launch made its last trip of the | season on October 12, when the re- cruiting officer took a picked crew of apprentice seamen down the Potomac as far as Blackistone Island. - Lieut. C. H. Willilams was in command of the launch on this trip. Officers of the battalion last week de- clared Lieut. J. F. Carpenter, com- manding officer of the 1st Fleet Di- vision, the winner in the A. A. A. con- test for rescuing more boats and yachts In distress during the past season. During the week end trips Lieut. Car- penter and his men found & number ion. just south of the present | | subsequent to the World War, when ployed and they could be assigned | th: men get jobs in private employ- | U. S. N, aide for Naval Reserve af- fairs to the commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, and inspector- instructor of the local battalion. Officers of the Naval Reserve Of- ficers’ Association now are holding weekly luncheons each Thursday at 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon in the University Club. Lieut. James E. Sullivan, the battalion commander, is president of the local chapter this year. While enlistments are reported to be increasing in the Naval Communi- | cations Reserve Division, it was | pointed out that the outfit still is in need of several more to complete the | quota for the quarter. Each man has | been urged to bring in & recruit. This | unit is made up largely of amateur | radio operators, men who would be especially useful in time of war in keeping open the Navy's communica- tion system. | The chief of the Naval Bureau of | Navigation has indicated that it is contemplated to provide more ships | alongside docks for the training Re- | serve during the current year, and it is possible that the local Reservists will be among those first assigned a ship. “Continued utilization of ships and other floating equipment assigned to the exclusive use of the Reserve for drills alongside dock, as well as for sea training,” says a letter from the chief of the bureau to the Secretary of the Navy, contemplated for the fiscal year 1936, so far as the limited funds available for fuel, upkeep, re- pairs and subsistence on week end cruises will permit. “The amount of funds available in the 1936 Naval Reserve appropriation for training duty is limited to the annual training periods for the vari- ous organizations of the Fleet Naval Reserve, and an insignificant number of officers and men of the Volunteer Naval Reserve. The regularly sched- uled cruises of the Fleet Reserve or- ganizations will be completed during the early part of October. The ma- jority of fleet and volunteer officers who can be permitted to perform training duty on vessels of the fleet or training squadron during the late Fall, Winter or early Spring must, | therefore, perform this duty in a vol- unteer status without pay or allow- | ances.” The report of the bureau in com- | menting on the recommendations of | the Naval Inspection Board which visits all units in the course of a year, further says: | “In the case of officers who eannot "messure up to the higher standards |and who cannot qualify for duty at sea, it is the present policy to trans- fer them to such other class of the Volunteer Reserve for which quali- fled, where their services can be used advantageously in such other class The honorary retirement of such of these as are not so transferred would involve additional legislation, which legislation is now under contempla« tion along with general revision ol the existing Naval Reserve law. “During the fiscal year 1936, 6 of | the 52 fleet divisions of the 9th Na« | val District are scheduled to perform their two-week annual training duty | on board the U. 8. S. Wyoming, em« | barking and debarking at Philadels ‘phm. It i hoped that funds will be | available for continuing these salt- | water cruises for 9th Naval District | divisions during future years. “The present system of armory training is to be continued during the fiscal year 1936, as recommended | by the board. “In certain of the large centers, where the amount of work involved | appears to justify the detail, experie | enced officers of the Regular Navy | have been assigned to the sole dutieg of Naval Reserve instructors for the area or the district. “Due to the limited funds availe able in the printing and binding ap< propriation for this purpose, the num« ber of training courses which can be made available for the use of the | Naval Reserve has had to be re< | stricted. The issue of additional training courses over the present lim- ited allowance will depend on tha | numbers provided for in the print- | ing and binding appropriation. “The Inspection Board was espe« cially requested to make recommen- dation regarding any change in tha present organization of the battalion staff. The board’s recommendation in this respect will be followed.” ROYAL ARCANUM Municipal Council met Monday une der the leadership of Regent William E. Aiken. Grand Regent James C.
