| Approval has been given the recon-
mendation for the transfer of the Of
! flee of the executive officer for Reserve
affairs from its old location in the Of
| flee of the Assistant Secretary of War
to that of the chief of staff. This
Office was originally established because
of the growing Importance of the ON
GERS Reserve Corps and of the Organ
lied Reserves, and while the Reserve
organizations are, like units of the
Regular military establishment, admin
istered by the War Department, it has
been conclusively demonstrated that 1t
is most desirable to have an Office In
the War Department especially charged
with the supervision of Reserve affairs
When the Office for Reserve affairs
was established in 1927, it was not in
| tended to transfer it to any of the ex-
isting agencies of the department, and
it is not intended to do SO now, as the
primary function of this Office is to IA
ctlitate the business of Reserve officers
throughout the country and the Reserve
movement and to establish liaison with
them in the field. The present execu-
tive officer of Reserve affairs Is Col
c. D. Heron, who succeeded Col. D. L.
, Stone, Infantry, who was the first Off
Ger to occupy this Office. The new Office
of the executive for Reserve affairs Is To-
Gated in room PIT of the State, War
and Navy Building.
