Lieut.. Col. X. f. e. Mckinney.
Infantry, president of the Washing
ton branch of the Reserve Officers
Association of the United States, has,
called a special meeting for the. pur-
pose of acting on the amendments to
the bylaws as submitted by the exec
utive committee, such meeting to be
held February II at SIS pm. in the
auditorium of the new Interior De.
partment Building.
The changes in the bylaws recon-
mended by the executive committee
involve the discontinuance of the
sections of the association. n change
In the method Of election and in the
number of members of the executive
committee, and various changes in
numbering of the articles Of the by
laws. and in eliminating references
to the sections in the various articles
Of the bylaws.
There were no Regular Army Off
GERS detailed for the instruction of
the reserve officers at the time the
association was formed. There was
no prescribed training for the re-
serves and the formation of sections
Of the association along the lines of
the branches of the service was an
attempt to get such training started.
Certain of the sections provided for
in the bylaws were started and a
certain amount of instruction was
carried on. Since that time, however
Lieut.. Col. John Scott, Infantry. exec
utive officer of the Organized Re
serves in Washington, and his asSo-
ciates have developed comprehensive
instruction courses in practically all
arms. The original need for the sec
tons. therefore. appears to have
passed. and il is for this reason that
IL is proposed to discontinue the sec
tons of the association.
Under the present method of elect
ing the executive committee the COM
mittee numbers about 80 and is SO
large as not TO work to the best adj
vantage. The proposed change in the
bylaws makes the executive commit
tee consist of the president. vice presi-
dent. secretary. treasurer and ! other
members. selected from the various
branches of the service.
The following changes III assign
ments affecting reserve officers resid-
ing in Washington were announced
this week at reserve headquarters:
Second Lieut.. Frank Staten, Cav
airy Reserve. is assigned to the
ed Cavalry Division; Capt. Arthur V.
Workman. Air Service Reserve. assign
ed TO the 403d Pursuit Squadron; Sec
ond Lieut.. Maurice +. Brothers,
