SENATE IS NOT

WHEELS GOING
Spanking" the Irene
gades" Didn't Help to
Get Constructive Pro-
gram Through.

Washington-The Republican sem
atorial caucus that read out the
renegades" got lot OF joy out OF the
event. Viewed from a purely politi-
cal standpoint the thirty-four sena-
tors pleased the regulars OF their
party. Old Senator Ladd felt the re-
buke most of the four senators who
were spanked" and he retorted that
Il am a damned sight better Re-
publican than the self-constitu;ed
group of party leaders who saw fit
to try to humiliate me- This pro-
test shows the bitterness among the
senators. 1t lacks nothing in dehn-
itencss compared with the adjectives
used by the majority group OF Re-
pubicans.
The unfoundcd belief seems to have
gone abroad in the land that as
result of the last election the Republi.
cans have a clear majority in the Sem
ate, and that with a similar major
Ity in the house. an administration
program under the leadership or
President Coolidge, will be approved |
by congress But facts are still facts
and it is not fact that the Repub-
leans control, or will control the |
Senate.

A comprehensive program has been
outlined by the War Department for
the activities of this special reserve
committee. 1t includes % a general
survey of the War Department and
the interrelation of its various ac-
tivities. including the duties and
general staff, the chiefs of branches
and services and the adjutant gen
erals office; CD studies, conferences
and discussions of the present and
cies, with particular reference: (a)
unit organization and training, the
obligations of reserve officers and
their duties and responsibilities as
unit commanders; (b) plans and poll
cies with respect to procurement, as,
signment and training of enlisted
reserves: (c) inactive duty training,
means and methods of conducting in
struction, time and facilities avail
able, correspondence course. recon-
mendations and suggestions for eX-
pansion and Improvement; td) active
duty training, division camps, local
unit camp. assignment of reserve
units to corresponding units of the
Regular Army, unit training at c. NJ.
T. G. camps. consideration of prob
lens of the closer combination of re-
serve and c. NJ. T. c: training. includ-
ing recruitment and affiliation with
local units; (e) continuity of train
ing throughout the calendar year and
a program of progressive training
covering a cycle of three years for
reserve organizations.
3. Study and instruction of the War
Department plan for general mo-
bilization, the role of Organized Re-
serves, it's wartime organization and
mission, localized mobilization, prepa-
ration for performance of Memorial
day duties, unit mobilization.

posed plan and policies for the test

reserve organizations and individual

tion plan and publicity to insure COM
munity support and proper interest.
plans for the observation of the day,
both military and civil, including as
Sembly of units, inspection and re-
port; parades, ceremonies, speeches
and other appropriate activities.
5. Study and discussion of other
problems pertaining to the develop
ment of the Organized Reserves pre-
sented for consideration by other di-
visions of the general staff. including
study of special regulations As, AZ
and 4S, now undergoing revision.
1t is apparent that the special COM
mittee will have thirty very busy
days in Washington in covering this
program. 1t is unfortunate that a
larger number of reserve officers could
not be called to duty at Washington
now, just on the eve of the opening
of the training period and In the

which is usually for the fifteen days
attendance at a training camp. The
national guardsman receives pay for
his weekly drill at the armory, the
reserve giving his time free to the
studies. At some future date the
reserve will no doubt draw pay for
this winter study also. The average
combat officer gives two nights
monthly to study at the headquarters,
which last for about two hours. 1t
is only fair that he should receive
as the national guardsman does.
when the time comes that the en-
listed personnel of the Organized Re-
serves can receive pay for inactive
attendance for drills then recruit
ment will be rapidly for the units.
The local work of the c. NJ. T. c..
is in the hands of committee of
which Col. Leroy Heron, with offices
in The Washington Star building, is
IN charge. Inquiries for the camp
should be addressed to- Col. Heron

amount of property issued to howit-

ing required of the various sections
of the organizations are responsible
for this increase.
Last week the writer visited corps
area headquarters in Baltimore and
learned that there more than 600 unit
mobilization plans have been pre-
pared to date. More will be prepared
later. The Sd corps area is consider
ed one of theft not the-finest and
best organized corps areas of the
nine areas. This is due to the excel
lent administrative ability of Gen.
Muir and Coils. Cocheu and Hams and
their assistants. 1t was also learned
at corps area headquarters that Maj.
Smalley, cavalry, will be the camp
adjutant at Camp Meade this sum-
mer. The S0th Division is not to be
ordered out as an organization; only
the ololn fleIu +aTIlilcTy ana olStn
and 320th Infantry regiments will go.
OF special interest at this time is
the special reserve committee repre-
senting all of the two corps areas
which has reported for duty with G-3
of the War Department general staff
for thirty days study of what might
he termed the operation of the third
component of the Army of the United
States. This committee met last

great loss to the corps area when he

There will be three reserve unit

A course in infantry weapons is
now in progress In the night schools
of the officers of the 8lst Division.
The program includes the technique
and tactics OF the light mortar, the
one-pounder and the machine gun.
These night schools have proved to
be very popular and the interest has
been maintained to high degree.
The subjects that have been gone
over and the methods of inStrur-
tion are designed to prepare reserve
officers for the training work that
they will be called upon to perform
during the summer training camps.
Under changes 12, National Guard
regulations. officers of the active list
of the Army detailed for duty with
the National Guard may accept COM
missions in the National Guard, with
terminable in his discretion. without
vacating their Regular Army commits
sions or having their standing on the
single list adversely affected by doing
so. The period of such duty would
ordinarily be for four years. The Ma
tional Guard commission must not be
more than two grades higher than
the officers grade in the Regular
Army, and no commission shall he
accepted in the National Guard below
the grade of major or above that of
major general. There must he a
vacancy in the National Guard or
ganization in the gtade in which the
commission is rendered.
The present program for the or
ganiZed reserves provides for the
training of approximately one-third
of the total number of reserve Off
GERS and in addition provides for a
reasonable development of enlisted
specialists.
The difference between national
guardsman and a reserve is that the
former can be called upon by the Off
cials of the state to officiate in time
