ANNOUNCEMENT NOTES.

! TILE 32D REGIMENT NAY MOVE INTO ANOrhE1
| ANNOUNCEMENT NOTES.
| new plan for the improvement: OF the 32d ReGi-
ment is proposed, which meets the hearty approval Of
some National Guard officers. II is that the 32d Res-
ment move 10 ClermOntave and take possession OF the
23d Regiment armory when that organization goes TO
| It's new home al Bedford-avc. and Pac1c-st There
| many arguments in favor OF such scheme. Inc
47h Regiment has the inside track for recruits IN
the Eastern District and is able TO get the best men.
The 32d Regiment may be vastly improved by emclens
leadership and thorough drill, but it can never be OF
anything but secondary importance as dlsuncuveV
Eastern District regiment on the other hand. there
is large recruiting field to be left in the region Of The
I'd Regiment armory The 14th Regiment is 20 move
TO South Brooklyn, and the 18th rom Hanson face
to Bedford-ave. Thus a section Of the city when
three aInOres were punched is 70 be entirely deserted
This field might well be taken by the 32d Regiment,
and the change of scene would the quicker enable u
the bad habits that it fell into The change
would cost practically nothing The a2d armory oouA
be sold instsad Of the 2:}d.
Another argument for this move was presented bys
field officer Of OF the regiments the oter Jay wien
he said Look at the OF brooklyn and see where
the regiments are to be when the three new armo7s
arc built. Starting with the Attn Reimnt they form
Gordon around the upper part Of the city, down 10
the I4tr Regiment in south Brooklyn. II is good
thing to have that Gordon in case of any trouble.
But the 32d Regiment is not needed IN 10.
That part of the city IS amply protected
by the 47th Regiment. On the other hand. the whole
downtown section Of Brooklyn has protection what
ever 1t would be an excellent thing have the 3cd
Regiment stationed where the ODD now Is. All the
REGIMENTS would then be we'll and scientifically SIT
uated and It would be good thing for the 3od Rest
mcnt also. can see no objection 10 the plan from
any point Of view
If such change could be made it might give an a.
ditonal impulse to the plan which was advocated BY
z for he naffQ Of
Of guardsmen in Flatbush, which would probably be
come part OF the ed Regiment. The regiment would
be much attractive TO them if it were in Ger
mont-ave
