d. c.. Naval Reserve

Funds are available for the training
of additional officers and men of the
United States Naval Reserve Battalion
of the District of Columbia during the
current fiscal year, according to infor-
nation received at the local Reserve
headquarters from the Navy Depart
ment. However, 1t was said at the To-
cal Naval Reserve armory that 1t is i'm
probable that any officers and men of
the surface ship organization would be
given further training, but it is quite
possible that some of the excess funds
will be used for training officers and
men of the Aviation Reserve.
It also was pointed out that some ad-
ditional men may be taken on active
duty status for training in the Spring,
when the U. S. destroyer Abel P.
Upshur, training ship of the local or
ganization, goes to Norfolk for its an
nual overhaul prior to beginning the
annual training cruises with the scout
ing fleet 1t has not been finally de-
termined, it was said, that the ship will
have to go to Norfolk, but some of the
funds will be held in reserve. as the
present complement of the ship will
have to be increased by calling Re-
servists to active duty If 1t is done.
The local Reserve originally allotted
funds for the training of "a officers, of
whom II we're trained. Remaining

funds authorize the training of two
more. The allotment for enlisted men
was ITS, of whom 1876 were trained in
the early part of the year; and funds
for five more have been authorized
The funds for the aviation division
authorized 10 officers, of whom three
took the training, and the funds allow
four more, and Of the eight enlisted
men authorized none have been trained.
and the latter allotment authorizes
seven. =.
1t was said to be quite likely that not
only would the aviation training funds
be used up, but efforts would be made
to have transferred from the surface
ship training fund money for training
there to the training of aviators for the
