HILE the U. S. destroyer Leary docked at the Wash- ington Navy Yard last week, Lieut. James E. Sul- livan, commander of the 1st Bat- talion, United States Naval Reserve in the District of Columbia, an- nounced that drills will not begin | aboard for two more weeks, the first one being scheduled for January 26. The local Reserve commander has held conferences with the destroyer commander, and & drill program will | have to be arrariged for the three divisions which compose the local organization. The ship was sent here to remain for a period of six weeks for the purpose of giving the local citizen sailors an opportunity to use her for drill purposes. Although the training aboard the vessel is considered far superior to that which can be obtained in the armory, particularly in gunner and fire control training, nevertheless the Reservists’ program will depend on the weather being good enough for the men to work at night on the decks of the training ship. The offi- cers had previously expressed a de- sire that the ship be sent here in the early Fall or late Spring, which would make it possible for them to use it to the full extent each drill night for the deck force. However, the engine and fire room forces will be able to use it at all times, as their training is entirely below decks, and any kind of weather will not inter- fere with it. The ship is commanded by Lieut. Comdr. R. W. Matthews, and her executive officer is Lieut. M. W. Peake, both of the U. S. Navy. At the drill of the battalion last week each of the three divisions were put through a strenuous infantgy drill at open and closed order. Following drills by divisions, the battalion was formed for extended drills. This bat- talion drill was one of the few the organization here has had for a number of years, and this is due %o the fact that the armory facilities are limited to such an extent that a battalion cannot be maneuvered in the very small drill hall. There is only room enough for it to be lined up in close order. All of the infantry drills were held in the streets of the navy yard, but this can only be done in fair weather, such as has been prevalent | here during the past few weeks. The battalion adjutant, Lieut (J. G.) Eu- gene C. Carusi, announced that the battalion was to drill as a unit again on Tuesday night. Although the final reports have not been completed, advance information indicates that the competition for the honor of being color guard of the battalion for the first six months of 1937 will be a very close one, it was said at the battalion headquar- ters. The three Washington divisions have been in competition since early in November for the position of color guard of the unit. The divisions were put through two thorough :inspec- tions in December, at which officers and men were examined both as a unit and individually in the duties of their ratings. ‘While the divisions were striving for the honor of carrying the battalion colors in the inaugural parade, never- | theless it appeared that this particular | follows: Arlington County, Drs.

The proposed amendment to the Naval Reserve of 1925 which the Navy Departm has prepared for the consideration of Congress at the | current session is said to provide for more liberal benefits for officers and enlisted men who suffer disability as a result of the performance of | active duty or training duty. Gene erally speaking, it was said, the rece ommendations attempt to equalize the benefits received by the Army Re- serves and Navy Reserves. | It also provides that upon mobiliza- | tion officers of the Reserve will be | given a higher precedence than pro- vided for in the present law. Naval Reserve officers, it was said, will take precedence with the Regular officers | with half- of their length of service in grade. The matter which interests the Re- | serves most, it was indicated, is that | recommendation which would provide ‘ that the Naval Reserve be represented | in the formulation of all policies and | regulations governing their admine | istration. It would provide for the annual meeting of a Naval Reserve policy board, at least half of the mem= bers of which would be officers from' the Reserve. How this latter proposal would work | out would be a matter for study. Re- cently a conferdfpe was held here on the preparation of the amendments, and the Naval Reserve officers fought doggedly for their recommendation for an assistant secretary for Naval Reserve and a Reserve division in the Navy Department headed by a Re- serve officer, but they did not get far in the department. It was the belief that the Reservists were not being given proper representation for their recommendations that brought about this proposal. In other words, they said that they did not have in the department any one who was charged directly with the duty of look- ing after their interests.
