the War Department, directs that the
State authorities take necessary meas
ures to assure themselves that mem-
bers of the National Guard whose 1
names appear on pay rolls or pay
vouchers are not drawing pensions, ols-
ability allowance, disability compensa-
tion or retired pay from the Govern
ment of the United States. 1t also
states that officers or enlisted men
drawing a pension. disability allowance,
disability compensation or retired pay
may not retain their federal recogni-
ton in the National Guard without
armory and field training pay, with the
one exception of the present adJutants
general nor may such officers be trans
ferred to the National Guard Reserve.
This means that officers may not re-
tain their positions i'll the National
Guard and waive their right to drill !
pay, nor can they be placed in re-
serve status. They must either give up !
their pensions or their National Guard
positions.
The letter also says that should a
National Guard officer surrender his
National Guard commission and later
be denied continuation of any pension, |
disability allowance, disability compen-
sation or retired pay he is now receiv- |
ing. there would be no objection on |
the part of the Militia Bureau to again |
extending federal recognition to such |
officer when qualified therefor.
