not reported the damage to the super

VIGOROUS protests against the SIZE
Of House appropriations for the Ma,
tional Guard and reserve omceIs
the committee. Maj. Gen. George z.
Riokards, chief Of the militia Du-
reau has informed the Senate COM
mittee that the House approprid-
+ions, instead of providing Tor ex
mansion of the National Guard, would
rres,,It in a real reduction of strength.
Years Decreased Efficiency.
Referring to the House committees
statement, that the appropriation de-
signed to enlarge the National Guard
+o $4,000 men, Gen. Richards said
the money actually provided by the
House would make 1t impossible" to
sncrease the guard to that figure and
nn the contrary. would result In q
~..r,ous decrease in efficiency"
The Reserve Ofiicers' Training As
.octation of Ohio has Informed the
senate committee that the House pro-
,,,a,on for the Reserve Officers Train
Ing Corps constituted Outrageous
an1 utterly unjustifiable treatment"
THE House voted $1.705,000 for the
training corps, and the association
Saclared s5,750,000 was necessary.
Cen. Richards has informed sena-
tors that with the funds allotted 1t
would be impossible to prepare the
Uuard for field service or to provide
FOR four-day schools of instruction
for officers, non n-commissioned officers
and selected privates. State rifle
competitions also would be precluded.

whether National Guard teams could
be sent to national rife matches.
