About 5000 men already have been

them from regular call under the

maintain National Guards units, he
said, has been modified in practice.

The War Departments policy. Gen.
Carter said. is not to call the new Ma

ice unless an emergency arises. Sena-
tor Chamberlain pointed out that as
men between eighteen and forty-five
can join the National Guard and: un-
der their oaths, would then be subject
to federal call, the practical effect OF
further National Guard organization
is to extend the draft to men in the
guard between eighteen and forty
National Guard training and organi-
zation is expensive. Gen. Carter
stated. Also. he said, the War Depart
ment is now without equipment for
new National Guard units, but hopes
to secure necessary supplies this year
