GUARD LEADER
DEFENDS JAIL
AS DISCIPLINE
Kershner Answers Charges
Made by Senator
Harrison.
OFFICERS CRITICISED
Private Imprisoned After
Missing Drill.

Indiana National Guardsmen will
continue to be thrown into jail on
warrants Of officers as penalty for
missing drill, Adit. Gen. williaI1 H.
Kershner indicated today.
If commanding officers OF the
National Guard are shorn of their
power to arrest and confine men who
absent themselves from regular
drills, the morale OF the guard would
be seriously jeopardized, said
l<ershner.
The adjutant generals statements
followed charges made Thursday by
State Senator Russell B. Harrison
that guardsmen were being sent to
Jail under provisions of ;. a 1911
statute, which he asserts was re-
pealed by an act OF the 1928 legis.
lature.
Refutes Charges
Kerohner yrefuted charges made by
Harrison that Captain Atlee' Slentz,
commanding Company d, 151st In
fantry, had acted contrary to the
law in jailing Private Roy De Long,
1449 N. New Jersey st. Kershner
said he had Investigated the case
and found that DE Long had abb
sented himself from drill three, or
possibly four, successive times, each
time being warned to desist by
Captain Slentz.
Captain Slentz was acting wholly
within his rights as an officer"
Kershner said.
Phraseology Differs
While the phraseology Of the 1928
guard law, which brought local
statutes up to the standards set
out in the National Defense Act,
differs somewhat from that in the
old 1911 law. the meaning IN es-
sentiaily the same. Kerstner said.
The 1923 act did not repeal the
power Of an officer. to innprison
soldiers for misconduct, he said.
While Kershner did not mention
the fact specifically, it is known In
guard circles that certain wave of
discontent spread in the ranks when
the Federal Government held up pay
q few months pending approval by
President Coolidge Of a deficiency ap-
opriation. Several cases Of abb
sence without leave have occurred
recently and 1t is thought by some
that irregularity of pay was the
cause. N
