 Other reasons for the decision to send the two officials. one civil and one mill tary, on this trip. were said today 10 rest Tn the secretary's desire for first hand information concerning the regu- lar army personnel. the national guard forces and members of the organized re- serves and to aid the department in its task of welding these three components
 into one harmonious structure.
 Secretary Weeks had hoped to make the trip assigned to MT. Wainwright but found that impossible at the present time. NIT. Wainwright. therefore. will travel as Mir Weeks personal represen- tative rather than in his capacity as ss- s;stant secretary.
 Other army activities to be given st- tention by the two officers include the schools for officers and men al Camp Banning.
