Appointment of Militia
Commander Here Awaited
Recommendation for Local National Guard
Post Understood Before Secretary
of War.

On account of their unsatisfactory
performance and increased mainte-
nance cost, the transfer of these
planes from the Regular Army to the
National Guard Is believed inadvis-
able, he said.
Continuing, Gen. Leach said:
Until the transfer Of the 76 air.
planes in question is effected. National
Guard squadrons will be reduced to
an average Of five airplanes each for
the first half Of the fiscal year and
not more than four each for the
latter part Of the year. In order to
bring the squadrons up to their au-
thorized strength TO fulfill our training
needs, 1t Is desired that the Air Corps
initiate a priority project to purchase
for delivery to the National Guard 76
new observation airplanes It Is felt
that these airplanes should be pur-
chased Immediately Of known proven
design from existing sources Of supply.
These airplanes should have per-
torrance equal to or exceeding that
Of the 0-38s now in use In the National
Guard. It is desired that the air.

1.-THE item Of $155,582 will be re-
quired for the maintenance and over
haul of National Guard airplanes and
accessories. This amount should be
placed with the Air Corps to the credit
Of the National Guard, as has been
the custom in the past.
THE 81 100000 which it Is under
stood will be used for the purpose of
airplanes and equipment, spare parts
and accessories for the National Guard,
1t Is believed, should be used TO pur-
chase additional airplanes with a de-
cidecly higher performance than any
observation airplane now in the serv-
ice, the airplanes to be purchased with
this money to be in addition to the

Guard instructor here, isn't ex-
actly a man without a country,
but he has no legal residence,
cannot vote and Is ineligible to

automatically makes the man
who enlists a legal nonresident.
When he was transferred to
Kansas he encountered a statute
which provides that a soldier re-
tains the legal status he had
when entering the State.
