New provisions for the examinations
of guard officers for promotion have
been promulgated by the Militia Btu
rcau. They provided that the exarnl-
nation OF any candidate for recognition

scribed In regulations for the grade and

cretion, decides to waive the test in
accordance with provisions for waiver,
They also provide that the record OF
proceedings will enumerate the list of
subjects required and in case Of waiver
show the facts of the waiver and state
the evidence accepted by the board as
the basis for waiver.
For An initial appointment the new
regulation provides that the eXamina-
ton, unless waived, will include not

determine the candidates moral, phys
ical and educational qualifications. In
all such cases, the candidate will be
given the examination in all technical
military subjects within one year from
the date Of Federal recognition, and If
he should then fail 70 qualify, Federal
