C. Heads by Col. Oehmann. Another move in the District Na- tional Guard’s efforts to obtain ade- quate housing and training facilities for the local militia was taken last week, when Ool. John W. Oehmann submitted to the District Commission- ers a proposed six-year building pro- gram which includes & request for a building. He recommends a fund of $2,500,000 for the building alone, leav- ing to the District heads and the bud- get authorities, if it gets that far, to recommend how much must be ex- pended to start the structure. However, before and construction is even thought of plans and specifica- tions must be prepared for the build- ing. In order to prepare these prop- erly there must be funds with which to purchase a site. On the other hand, the cost of the site might be saved by having the authorities recommend to Congress the allocation of any available Government land for a site. Even in this there is some restr~- tion on account of the recommenda- tions of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission that the Guard armory be placed on a site near the eastern terminus of East Capitol street but west of the present Anacostia Park, where there has been some discussion about placing the municipal stadium. Unless there is quick action this site will be gone, according to officers, as the private owners are saild to have taken out permits for buildings on the site. If the buildings actualy get under way it is not likely that Con- gress will authorize funds for a site, which also would have to include funds with which to purchase the new bulldinge, it was said. Plans have already been drawn for the use of the site at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue as a part of the plans for the municipal cen- ter. There is & possibility the pro- posed building there and the Guard projects may be tied in with the same project if the Commissioners sub- mit their program to the President and the Budget Bureau. If it is de- cided to go ahead with the proposed new construction at Sixth street and Perninsylvania avenue, either the Com- missioners or some Federal agency will have the task of of finding some quarters to which the Guard will have to be shifted. Aside from submission of the build- ing progam to the Commissioners, it is understood Guard officials are work- ing in other directions in their ef- forts to obtain a building. They are hoping something definite will de- velop in a short time from the ac- tivities of a special committee re- cently appointed at the convention of Guard adjutants general here to see the President directly and make a special plea for an armory for the District troops. Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, commander of the National Guard of Maryland as well as head of the 29th National Guard Division, of which the District troops are a part, is chairman of this committee, and it is understood he and the members of his committee are study- ing & great mass of data on the local armory situation which. was furnished from the flles of the District Guard. ARMY LAW STUDENTS REASSIGNED HERE Three Officers Go to Justice De- partment for Duty Upon Com- pletion of Legal Course.

Prosser, formerly on duty in the office of the chief signal officer of the Army and the motion picture academy. BRIGHTWOOD MEETS AT HOME OF C.W. RAY Final Session of Season to Con- sider Tax Program on Friday Night. The final meeting this season for the Brightwood Citisens’ Association will be held at the home of the presi- dent, Charles W. Ray, in Sendy Spring, Md., Friday evening. ‘The affair has been an annual one for the past 10 years, Ray declared yesterday. He has headed the group for 20 years, but has owned the Sandy Spring home for 10 years only, he sald. The property is known as the Charlie Forest Farm. Thomas Ellis Lodge, president of the Pederation of Citisens’ Associa- tions, is among the invited guests, it ‘was stated. Refreshments will be served and entertainment provided by the Chesapeake & Potomsc Tele- phone Co. Glee Club. i A short business session, called for 8 o'clock, will preced the social event. At this session the tax program an- nounced last week will be considered. “We hate to think of some people placing these taxes on us without us having anything to say about it,” Ray said. Opposition to a higher real es- tate tax is particularly felt by mem- bers, he added. The sasociation will recess until October, at which time the annual election of officers is scheduled.

CHANGES PLANNED IN MILITIA UNITS 63. 65. 67. 1. 76. 78. 9. 80. 81 83. 85. 162. 163, Reallocation of Strengths of Or- | ganizations Proposed Here. With the purpose in mind of keep- ing all units of the District National Guard up to the full strength of 1,300 enlisted men, as authorized by the War Department, it was said at brigade headquarters Col. John W. Oehmann is considering the promul- gation of an order allocating the strength to the various units, so that each will have their outfits up to the limit at all times. The contemplated order will be to keep the guard at its full authorized strength at all times, and that the personnel strength be kept to the top at all times with men who can uni- formly attend drills, thus insuring full attendance each drill night. Because of the fact that during the greater part of the armory drill pe- riod, in the Fall, Winter and Spring months, a number of the men attend night school, many have to be ex- cused, which brings down the at- tendance records of the units affected. Many times, these men are trans- ferred to the inactive lists during this period, but ususlly return to the active ranks just before the annual encampments, Unit commanders have been in- structed to keep an accurate record of the men who have failed to at- tend drills during any month, and to seek to ascertain the reasons. 1If it is found they are going to continue to pass drills, then it is the purpose to recruit up the guard with men who do not have such demands on their time that they cannot attend the drill sessions regularly.

MOTOR VEHICLE POOL ENLARGED Additional Autos Allowed for General Service in Militia. _ Military motor vehicle transporta- tion problems, which were aggravated considerably by the congressional pro- hibition against the repair and main- tenance of war-time vehicles, many of which are still in possession of the militia organizations, have been some- what relieved by a new policy of the ‘War Department which has been an- nounced to the National Guard. Handicapped as they have been by this prohibition, nevertheless the Guard units have been enabled to CAITY out some of their tactical plans involving troop and supply movements by the pooling of vehicles with States other than their own. Nevertheless the operation has been expensive, es- pecially in view of the fact that cer- tain vehicles, such as tactical ve- hicles peculiar to a particular organi- zation, have been eliminated from the pooling. Apparently taking cognizance of ‘thxs handicap, the War Department has issued an order, for the purposes of economy and efficiency, all vehicles authorized to be operated are now available for supply and administra- tive empioyment as directed by the commanding officer of the particular area concerned. The result has been in many instances—and is particularly " | felt here, it was said—to' materially enlarge the pool from which vehicles may be drawn for various military duties. The Coast Artillery regiment has s large number of vehicles, being & mo- bile anti-aircraft unit, which formerly were not available except within the regiment for tactical purposes, but which the new order makes available for any purpose that might be di- rected by the commanding officer of the local militia forces. Because of the heavy expense last year of moving the 29th National Guard Division to the divisional ma= neuvers in Pennsylvania, when vee hicles had to be sent over long dise tances several times from nearby States to assist in the dispatch of the troops, came the orders this year for the movement of troops to their ree spective training sites by train, Most of the vehicles had to make double trips. They had to go from their home stations to the stations of the troops to be moved, transport them to camp and then return to their homes at the beginning of the encampment. At the conclusion of the training period they had to repeat the trips. It also proved expensive from & pay standpoint, as the drivers had to be furnished by the States to which the trucks were allocated, and the enlist- ed men had to take many days more than their regular training period.
