WGY, in Schenectady, and for months
he never made slip on the air. Aside
from introducing programs presented
in WGY's own studios. Singisers duties
included making the local station an
nouncementS during network programs
One night he was standing at his
mike. wearing headphones, through
which he was listening for his cue to
cut in and give his station call letters
The program was the A. g. P. Gypsies
and the announcer was Milt Cross
Milt was going along swell until he tried
to speak the name of the program, and
then 1t came out "A. & P. Pipsies.'
"Awkl" gasped Singiser, and before
he could control himself enough to give
his call letters the 15-second break had
ended and Cross. reasonably calm, was
going on with the program and pre-
tending that nothing had happened.
But since that day Singiser has had
an insane urge, which sometimes gets
the better of him. to reverse the initials
or other letters of words he must speak,
One night he tried to say he was pinch
hitting for Roxy, but the best he could
do was pitch limiting" The worse
was witch hunting" On occasion he
has spoken of the next number on
the program as the next wonder ="
And when he met Milt Cross for the first
time he repaid him for the misery he
had experienced as result of the
power of suggestion in Milt's "pipsies
by addressing him artlessly as Mr.
Moss"

organizations In which instruction and
training may be given them. rather
than by permitting them 10 remain In
an unassigned status In which there are
no practical means for increasing their
efficiency. ~
Unless there is some appropriate &C.
ton taken by the various State au-
shorities to maintain the military esi-
| cheney Of the enlisted men Of the Ma
| tional Guard Reserve, the bureau says,
1t is evident that it cannot be depended
upon as a reliable body Of men ready
for use in time of either . State or
National emergency.
The Militia Bureau saws that fol-
lowing the policy practiced during the
last three years of primarily grounding
1 the National Guard in fundamentals
OF basic training provision has been
made for advancing toward other
phases. The National Guard contin-
ues to progress both in the planning
and the execution of training. the hu-
reau reports. Although it says that
there is still room for further improve
ment, the general state of National
Guard training has never been better
| than it is at present
! The requirements of the National
| Guard training directive, which pre-
scribes the training objective and the
methods of attaining this objective,
have been followed generally through
! out the National Guard. Local condi.
tionS and varying facilities have caused
! various degrees of proficiency to be at
tanned. On the whole. the bureau adds,
the armory training has continued to
improve and as result the National
| Guard has gone to its two weeks Of
field training better prepared to take
advantage of that eliminating period
OF field training.
| The bureau says that the effect of
better arrnory training has been gen.
orally apparent in the improved field
/ training. Improvement WAS noticeable
both in the planning and the execution
of field work done by the National
| Guard
The shortage of horses for mounted
and horSe-drawn organizations still
necessitates the pooling of animals for
field training. although the situation
has been slightly improved, due to the
purchase of number Of animals
worn out in the service.
The lack of suitable artillery ranges
in some of the States makes IL neces-
sary to send artillery organizations out
of their own State for service practice.
Although this separates units Of the
same tactical division, It IL necessary,
the bureau says, in order that the
scheme Of basic training may be ear
ried on.
Divisions and smaller organisations
divided between two or more States
create training difiiculties, the bureau
continues, especially in the command
and staH OF these organizations. The

Washington, December 10-Bucking
the budget under the pretense OF
emergency legislation" is favorite
political pastime with the present ses-
sion of the Congress. The budget, a
creature of the Congress, intended to
check governmental expenditures, is
deliberately ignored in the wild
scramble for appropriations. The legis-
lators may grab the credit for generosi-
ty at this time but next year the heavy
drain on the public exchequer will be
reflected in the taxpayers bills. Some
how the upset of the November cleo
tions has silenced the few stalwarts
who prided themselves on their title
of "watch-dogs of the Treasury" The
raiders of the Treasury ''pork-barre1''
and the law of the survival of the fit
test have muzzled otherwise conscien-
tious public servants.
The handshaking ceremonials Incl
dent to official receptions at the White
House are obviously source of IA
tigue to the President. Yet, his init
mates say that the physical strain
cannot be compared with the mental
stress that marks the duties of his
high office. 1t is reliably reported
that Mr.. Hoover Is gradually awaken
ing to the need Of discriminating be-
tween honest. if not flattering advis-
sors and well-wishers and selfish syco-
plants. The anvil chorus from the
