PROBL!MS affecting the Naval is national president of the association and will preside over the coming ses- sions. A large number of Reserve officers | from all sections of the country are | expected to attend this meeting. The | convention this year is attracting par- ticular interest because it is being | held in Washington, according to the | Reserve officers. It is expected that | each of the sessions will be addressed by some prominent officer of the Navy, and that a number of them, particu- | larly those assigned to the Naval Re- | serve Division in the department, will be present at all the sessions to discuss with the Reservists problems which have arisen during the year. The as- | sociation has been an active agent for a number of years in pushing forward various beneficial changes in the or- ganization of the Naval Reserve.

Carusi and Lieut. (Junfor Grade) Raymond Zanzot, platoon officer of the 1st Fleet Division. This drill was followed by one in which the two squads drilled as one squad under command of Lieut. (Junior Grade) W. 8. Brown, execu- tive officer of the 1st Fleet Division. Following this the judges declared the recruits the winners by a close margin. The recruit squad was composed of the following Reservists: R. M. Depro, L. C. McEwen, jr.; J. W. Beatty and J. E. McMahon. F. W. Hunter, jr., apprentice seaman, assisted in the training of the squad for the compe- tition. The squad picked from the 1st Division included H. J. English, water tender, second class; R. H. Purdy, ap- prentice seaman; A. L. Fuller, ap- prentice seaman, and M. J. Basso, apprentice seaman, The decision of the judges was said to have been so close that the battalion officers are expecting that a similar | competition will be held in the near future. The new syllabus of training for the fleet enginers, signalmen and quarter- masters of the battalion went into ef- fect last Monday night, when the sig- nalmen and quartermasters met for the first class under the supervision of Lieut. (J. G) W. 8. Brown. The engineers met on Wednesday night under the direction of Lieut. Comdr. W. C. Lockhoart, chief engineer officer of the battalion.

One of the most important prob- lems which is expected to be brought to the attention of the body is the lack of ships permanently assigned to the various units for drill purposes. It was pointed out that many of them now are without such facilities and they are seriously hampered in their training. Many of the units formerly had ships, but a number were withdrawn from service when the governmental economy wave was at its height in | order to save the expense of fuel and maintenance crews. However, when the vessels were put out of commission in the various navy yards the Navy had to maintain crews which were constantly going over them to prevent as much deterioration as possible. Of course, they saved a large amount of mopey in fuel, as it was not necessary to keep, fires under the boilers during the Winter months, as would be neces- sary if they were assigned to Reserve | organizations. Tt was pointed out that it would be cheaper in the long run to have these destroyers put in commission and dis- tributed to the various Reserve or- ganizations where they could be kept in the best of condition not only by the ship keepers, who would be indefi- nitely assigned to them, but by the Reservists themselves as a part of | their weekly drill schedules. Further- ! more, it was pointed out by the Re- serve officers that the Reservists would | ter by having available a vessel which could be used on week-end cruises. These cruises, in addition to the fuel, only cost the amount of money neces- sary to subsist the crews for a few meals, as the men do not get paid for the work, which is purely voluntary on their part. If the armory project of the local Reservists has not progressed to the point of approval by the time the as- sociation meets here it is probable, it was indicated, that the national con- vention will be asked to throw its support behind the matter. The local Reservists have neither a ship or an adequate armory. The present build- ing is an old commercial store struc- ture, with a lean-to of wood serving as a drill hall. This latter is not sufficient to drill the whole battalion, | and for that reason each division has to hold its drill on a separate night. The result is that the battalion com- mander does not have all of his units together at one time except on special occasions such as annual inspections jand on Navy day when they are crowded and jammed into the build- ing with no room for conducting effi- | cient maneuvers. It was said that the proposal to | bulld a new armory at the Washing- lwn Navy Yard now is before the | President of the United States. It | has previously received the approval of the Navy Yard and Navy Depart- ment officials, including Secretary of the Navy Swanson. It provides for an allotment of $500,000 from the Public Works fund for the construction of a building, the site to be in the Wash- ington Navy Yard. It is proposed to call it the Henry Latrobe Roosevelt Armory. In addition to the proposal to house the naval Reservists, it will include space for the local Marine Corps Reserve regiment, which also is housed in dilapidated and unsuit- abe quarters in the municipal center area. The matter of cruising the Re- servists also is expected to come up for some discussion. Most of the Re- serve divislons are organized as 2 skeleton crew for a destroyer, as it is expected that most of them will be used in this duty in the event they are called to the colors during the existence of a national emergency. However, in order to round out the training of the men the department started last year on a policy of taking the Reservists on a battleship training cruise. This for the purpose of pre- paring the men for such service in the event it became necessary to fill battleship billets with Reservists. The matter of the desirability of con- tinuing these cruises or alternating them with destroyer cruises is expected to be discussed. A squad of recruits last Monday de- feated a picked squad of men from the 1st Fleet Division in a keen manual of arms competition and was awarded a prize by the battalion com- mander, Lieut. James E. Sullivan. The Recruit Division, drilled under the supervision of the battalion adjutant, Lieut. (Junior Grade) E. t0. m challenged any squad of Division, Lieut, (Junior Grade) J. F. Naval | be able to keep up their training bet- | showing when they are called upon for written examinations by the mem- ‘bcrs of the inspection board at the next inspection, which is to be held | early in the Spring. The inaugura- tion of the classes will give the men a local period of study-and have them in the prime of training by the time the tests are called for. While each 1man is not examined, all must be in the top of condition, as the inspectors select the men for the written exam- inations at random, and on the result of the test for one man depends the mark for the entire battalion. It was for this reason, it was said, that Lieut. Sullivan decided to put in an intensive course of class room in- struction for these men, so that in have they will be able to express | members of the board that they know their jobs and duties. It was pointed out that divisions having difficulty in keeping up their percentage of cruise attendance above 75 can assure it by weeding out un- desirable members of class F-1 and transferring them to a volunteer status; by enlisting and retaining in class V-1 an ample supply of active and interested personnel to be avail- able for filling existing vacancies in class F-1, and by constant contact | with employers of all personnel with & view to assisting such members in | obtaining vacations for the training | period. It was pointed out that em- ployers, as a rule, are most anxious cers in that respect, as is evidenced by the excellent cruise attendance of certain divisions. } It is believed that even in the cases where men have obtained new jobs since the depression, if the officers of the battalion will contact their em- ployers and point out the importance Naval Reserve cruise duties the busi- ness would be glad to let them go, many times with pay. It was added that during the last cruises many men who had been long out of work and had obtained jobs hesitated to ask for time off for fear that their em- ployers might find some one else for the jobs. The Navy Department has an- nounced that aviation cadets, many of which now are being taken into the service for training as officers, may apply for a “five-year level pre- mium term insurance in the amount of $10,000. In the event the insured aviation cadet desires to apply for the additional clause relative to total dis- ability he may do so, but will be required to pay the additional pre- miums from his personal funds. “Seaman, second class,” it was said, “who are candidates for appoint- ment as aviation cadets are privileged to make application for the foregoing insurance after 16 days of active serv- ice but will be required to make the initial payment on same from their personal funds.
