exercises will be continued with re-
newed vigor to prepare for the annual
ocean cruise, when they will 70 aboard
destroyers for two weeks of training.
While each division went on a de-
stroyer last year, 1t was indicated It.
Is probable this year two divisions will
go on one ship and one on another.
1t has not been determined where the
ships will spend the mjdcruise week
end liberty period.
Battalion officials are juggling with
the matter Of what to do about the
increases OF personnel which Con-
gress is expected to provide for the
Reserve this year. With conditions
at the armory such that the men must
work at disadvantage under most
crowded conditions, there is the prob
lem OF where to provide space for the
additional men during the Winter
months when all Of the work must be
done within the building.
Officers are helpless to remedy the
conditions without the aid OF funds
from Congress, as the only answer, it
Is pointed out, is a new building, built
especially for Naval Reserve training.
1t is expected the officers will probably
call on the Marine Corps Reserve
regiment officials for aid, as it Is pro-
posed to have the proposed building
house the activities Of both units.
1t was pointed out funds are needed
only for the construction of a build
ing, as the site for the structure is
available in the Washington Navy
Yard. Whether they decide to take
their problem direct to Congress or not.
1T was said, they will have to lump
the Budget Bureau hurdle, which will
nave to pass on the question as to
whether such project runs counter
TO the Presidents financial program.
Furthermore, 1t was said if there is
an order, either congressional or exec
utlve, for a general percentage cut
IN all appropriations, there Is the
possibility when the matter comes
down to the Reserve there might be
cut In the funds for personnel, which
would wipe out any increase which
Congress includes in the new bill.
Preparations now are being made
by the battalion officers to resume
the week end river training trips
aboard the launch assigned here for
this purpose. Chief Boatswain's Mate
Joseph Slattery is preparing the yes
sci for its Summer cruising service
and it Is expected the battalion COM
mander will announce the inaugura-
ton OF the Summer cruising schedule
within q short time.

SITE DISAPPEARING
0ehmann Informs Budget
Bureau Building Per-
mits Issued.

The fact that the proposed site
selected by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission for the
armory for the District National
Guard Is about to disappear as a
possibility was formally called to the
attention Of the director of the Bu-
reau OF the Budget last week by Col.
John w. Oehmann, commanding the
local militia.
Col. Oehmann, who is the build
ing inspector, in a letter to the budget
head. called attention that permits
for construction on the site recon-
mended by the planning commission
for location for Guard armory have
been issued. He pointed out if it is
finally determined to use this site
when and if funds are provided for
such building it will be necessary
not only to purchase the land but the
new buildings which are about to be
constructed.
1t was asserted II the Government
desires the site now is the time to
act in order to save this great ex-
pense and that prompt measures
should be taken to purchase the land
for an armory. While several moves
are in the oft1ng having for their
purpose the pushing of a local armory
project to a conclusion, 50 far as
could be learned nothing definite
has been dozen to get the matter di-
rectly before Congress.
The committee recently named by
the Adjutant Generals Association,
headed by Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reck-
ord, commanding the 29th National
Guard Division. Of which the District
Guard Is part. to present the local
armory matter to the President with
q view to getting his support, is un-
derstood to BE formulating its plans
but has not presented the matter to
the Chief Executive as yet.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has recommended
that the armory be located at the east
ern terminus of East Capitol street, in
the area adjacent to the Anacostia
Park, which is planned for q munich
pal stadium. However, 1t was not
proposed to place the armory within
the park area, but to purchase pri-
vate land west OF the park 1t is this
land which COL Oehmann announces
is to be used for building purposes
