Reserve and National Guard officers
as we'll as those Of the regular SER
vice, are much interested in the tests
that are being made to prevent the
Sam Browne belt shoulder strap from
sliding on the shoulder when worn
over the olive drab shirt. Maj. Gen.
Robert c. Davis. adjutant general OF
the Army, has authorized the COM
mandant Of the infantry school at Fort
Benning. Ga, to make the necessary
tests. It has been learned that two
methods are proposed to correct
the existing evil, one Of which is
to place a loop on the shirt and the
other to attach a loop on the belt
Ihis latter suggestion does not ap-
pear to be very satisfactory, how
ever. Further tests will be made
until solution of this vital problem
