NATIONAL GUARD <
AIR REGULATIONS
All men in Flying Service Must Undergo
Rigid Physical Examinations of
Regular Army.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-RegIIIa-
tioHs designed to apply the same rigid
physical requirements to National Guard
officers and men assigned for flying sery-
ice as are now enforced in the regular
army air force are contained in a cIrcu-
lar ISSUED by the war department for
the guidance of all concerned. - They
provide that ''nO person will be as

as a pilot or as an observer, or be per
mitted to pilot any aircraft issued to
the national guard until he shall have
successfully passed the physical examin-
alton prescribed
The examination outlined Is the same
as that required for regular officers as
signed for duty in the air ond examina-
tions must be made by competent doe
tors, either regular medical officers who
have graduated from the flight surgeon g
schools or, in special cases, national
guard medical personnel with flight sur
geOn training.
To insure the continued physical
ability of national guard aiTmen for
active service, the regulations require
re-examination of all flying personnel
twice annually, the January and July
of each year. Records both of the
original examination and of the re-
examination must be submitted to the
war department for approval before
either assignment or re-asslgnment

the United States or who are licensed
pilots will be subject to examination
prescribed unless they present satisfac.
tory evidence that they have passed
such examination within six months OF
the date on which flight or training is
desired
