He determines the number and dis
tribution of the officers and men re-
uuired to maintain in commission on
a peace time basis the ships OF vari-
Gus classifications prescribed by the
chief of operations, and he deter
mines the additional number of Off
GERS and men necessary to place these

employees of the Federal Government,
the latter being compensated by not
having any Of their annual leave de-
Quoted on account Of their service in
the field with the National Guard.
Every effort has been made in the
past to have this compensation kept
in the appropriations, but it fell out
during one of the economy moves.
Many Of the men Of long standing
in the Guard regarded it as a fixture,
and up until last year it was held out
to applicants for enlistment as an
inducement to many Of them TO join.
1t was intended to compensate them
for money which they might lose by
not being paid by their civilian en-
ployers while attending encampments.
The eliminating of this pay, it was
pointed out, has worked a distinct
hardship on some of the men, who
have been compelled to make none
tary sacrifice in order to go into the
field and receive their military train
ing.
On the other hand, there Is pro-

appropriation affected them in the
same manner, it was said that de-
ficiency estimate will be made to cover
the cost of paying the bandsmen for
the service they have performed. In
the event that this fails, it was indi-
Gated that the bandSmen will file a
claim with the controller general to
force the payment of the men, which
is allotted them by law.
