WEEKS ASKS CHANGE
To PREVENT CUT IN
RANK Of 'NON-COMS'
Present Defense Act May In
terfere With Rights of
Enlisted Officers.

Washington, Oct 24-Amendment
Of the national defense act to increase
the number of sergeants in the army
has been asked by Secretary Weeks,
it was announced Tuesday. IN order
that about 1.6O0 non-commissioned of
ficers assigned as instructors to the
national guard, organized reserves and
training corps units, will not have to
be cut in rank and pay due TO pro-
reductions in the army.
= tIn limiting the enlisted strength OF
the army first to 10000 men. then to
10000 and again to 125,O00.' the
statement said, consideration was not
riyen to the non-commissioned officer
and the important work which he is ex-
pected to do in the scheme for national
defense. With an enlisted strength
authorized at only 125,00O, the original
percentages fixed in law in the various
grades of non-commissioned officers
are found totally inadequate. Hun
dreds of such non-commissloned off,
GERS are scheduled for duty with or
CARNATIONS of the national guard, the
organized reserves and at reserve Of
ficer training corps units.
"For all its activities the war de-
partment should have about 1880 non
commissioned officers in the three
senior grades, but based on a strength
of 125,000 and the terms of the ex-
listing law only $500 can be kept in
these grades.
after a careful study of this situa-
ton. it has been found that about 1000
Of the senior non-commissioned Off
GERS of the army are to be denoted
unless some increased authorized mum
bers is made. OF course, this demotion
will carry with it such loss of pay and
prestige as to make it impossible for
many of them to continue on the work
planned for them

plans for an attempted flight of army
airpIanes around the world have been
under consideration for some months
by air service officials, it was learned

routes in both directions has been OBJ

Weeks for approval, it was said, until
it takes much more definite form.

of Laundry Company
nribune's Helena Rureau.)

Helena, Oct. 24-Approximately
$500 was taken by safe-breakers in
the early hours of Monday morning at
the Domestic laundry, where the safe
was blown open. The doors of the safe
were both blown off, and in the opinion
of FL. FL. Topel, general manager Of
the laundry, the job was done by ex-
perts.
In his belief two distinct explosions
must have occurred, as from indica-
tons, the first door, which contains the
combination apparatus, was first blown
off, and then a second charge placed
to blow off the inner door, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Topel. was not locked.
