of barracks and quarters.
Where. runs the popular question,
are the obsolete military arms that
the President hopes may be done
away with? The cavalry?
But, technicians point out. If the
man on the horse is done away with
by mechanization his place will
have to be taken. He will have to
be superseded for tactical purposes
" soldiers in armored cars.
Another conjecture is that 1t
might be economical to concentrate
the American standing army at one
or two posts in the continental
United States. There are many posts
now with a few ne and officers.
But army posts are q local pollti-
cal asset and always have been.
Whatever the eventual findings
Of the proposed board, the Presi-
dents announced plans have set
technicians and statisticians to do
