d. c.. Naval Reserve

Members of the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves of the District of
Columbia, will hear on January ~, next,
the lecture of Comdr. Lucius c. Dunn,
United States Navy, on THE United
States Navy and the Monroe Doctrine, I"
covering the service fer a period of 1O6
years. This lecture is said to be one of
the most interesting ever delivered on
the Navy, and 1t is said treats the sub
ject of naval power exhauStively. It is
to be illustrated by stereopticon slides.
Lieut. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith,
commanding the battalion, said that
lie considered the organization very for
tunate in being able to obtain the con-
sent of Comdr. Dunn % deliver the
lecture to the battalion. However, the
Regular officer was represented as being
deeply interested in the Reserve and its
development.
For the purpose of encouraging men
to take considerable interest in splicing
lines and tying knots, a prize has been
offered for the seaman who does this
work the best. The time for the award
or other conditions has not been made
public, but it is pointed out that knot
ting and splicing of lines was one of
the most important subjects in the early
training of a seaman. Considerable
time is allotted in the drill schedule for
this training, and the men are care
fully instructed by the boatswain and
his mates.
The local chapter of the United States
Naval Reserve officers Association at
a meeting held at the Reserve armory
last Monday night elected Comdr Smith
a delegate to the national convention of
the organization to be held here shortly
after the first of the year. Lieut.. Cole
man was named as an alternate.
There was considerable discussion of
matters to be brought up by the local
delegates at the convention, one of the
most important of which, from the Re-
serve standpoint, is the matter of
changing the present method of target
practice. The Regular service now has
one method, while the Reserve is held
to another, 1t was pointed out It is
now the desire of certain of the Re-
serve officers to have the reServists fire
under the same conditions as required
of the Regular establishment for the
purpose of better comparing them.
The Reserve has been trained under
the present method for a number of
years now. it was pointed out; as
matter of fact, since the reorganization
subsequent to the conclusion of the
World War hoStilities. 1t was asserted
that under this preliminary work the
reServists have reached a high state of
proficiency which should warrant the
Regular Navy authorities in changing
the Reserve target practice system.
Officers say that If the reserves are
called to the colors in case of emer-
gency they must meet the same condi-
tions as those already in the Regular
establishment, and therefore they
should have the benefit of the same
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-22

training, so that If call should come
they :. -uld be fully prepared.
The change suggested, it was said,
involved the towing of targets to the
range by tugs, and this has been the
problem the Regular establishments has
had to deal with. The Reserves now
furnish their own targets, small nifaiZs
which do not give a real determination
of the effectiveness of the fire. In the
case of the large targets, it was said,
the gunners have to hit the target in
order to score, while in the Reserve
practice any shot within q certain dis
lance Of the target counts Those ia
miliar with Reserve training point out
further that the Reservists would get
considerably more out of the practice
II they had target in which they could
see the result of their firing, rather
than getting 1t from mathematical cal
culation.
The local battalion furnished six gun
crews for target practice during the an
nual cruises last year, and it was said
that four OF them obtained perfect
score, while the other two were very
close. This, 1t was pointed out, clearly
indicates that the citizen sailors are
ready for promotion to the Regular es-
Establishments methods.
Another matter, considered very i'm
portant to the enlisted personnel from
a standpoint Of morale, is the matter
Of wearing the red hash marks" These
are red diagonal stripes across the
sleeves OF enlisted men which show, for
the Regular establishment, just how
many enlistments the man wearing
them has served. It was said that those
In the Regular establishment oppose
the wearing Of these marks by the Re-
servists. y
IYnryax,Ar ~ ,,,a. .1S1koI n,,k - IT,
Navy Department, the uniforms of
the ReServists, IN other respects, must
conform strictly to the naval require
mentS, and there is no valid reason
why the hash mark" should not be in
Guided. It was pointed out that naval
reServtst Is just as proud of his long
service and is as anxious to show it as
the man in the Regular establishment.
This will be brought to the attention of
the annual convention by Comdr. Smith
and an effort made to have passed a
resolution asking the Navy Department
to permit the wearing Of these red
stripes.
Chief Gunner's Mate White was pre-
sented with his appointment In that
rating last week. He was, however
ordered transferred from the Sd to the
I'd Fleet Division, while First-claSs
Gunner'S Mate Wynne was sent from
the I'd to the Sd Fleet Division. This
change was made necessary, although
1t was not desirable, according to Comdr
Smith, because of the limitation Of pay
grades in the fleet division. The pro-
motion Of White, 1t was said, made an
extra number in the pay grades of chief
petty officers in the Sd Division, and in
order to retain him it was necessary to
make the transfer.
