SUPPORT IS GIVEN
ARMORY PROJECT
Pennsylvania Guard Urges New
Building for Troops
Here,

The support of the Pennsylvania
National Guard is behind the local
guard in its efforts to obtain an arm
ory here. Officers at headquarters re-
ceived last week a copy of the official
magazine of the Pennsylvania guard
in which it was declared that the
present facilities Of the District are
disgraceful and Congress should i'm
mediately provide a new building.
Officers of the local guard are deeply
appreciatiye of this support, and be-
lieved the guard units Of the States
are Fundamentally behind them in
their efforts to obtain building and
facilities befitting the dignity Of the
only federalized militia in the country.
1t Is understood the Executive Com
mittee of the National Guard Officers
Association Of the United States has
begun to work on behalf Of the Dis
trict Militia in efforts to obtain an
armory here.
Col. John w. Oehmann, command
ing the guard, is studying the various
proposals for auditoriums here, but
it was said that he has been unable
to establish that anything definite is
provided in the plans so far proposed
which would indicate that an armory
Is to be provided.
The site of the present Sixth street
armory has been suggested as one Of
the sites for a downtown auditorium.
It was pointed out by guard officials
that if this suggestion should prevail,
the militia would be faced with the
problem of finding building suitable
to house the militia. Such buildings
are scarce at the present time.

RESERVE CHANGES
BEING EXAMINED
Congress Expected to Get Law
Amendments in
Month.

The impending battle between the
Regular Navy and certain group OF
Naval Reservists over the proposed
changes to the Naval Reserve act OF
1925, it is expected, will not reach the
halls of Congress for another month
or so, it was indicated last week.
The departmental bill containing
the amendments, which was prepared
following conferences here with
groups Of Naval Reservists. has COM
pleted round Of Navy Department
bureaus and now is in the hands Of
the Judge advocate general of the
Navy for study. That official is ex-
pected to complete his report on the
changes in a short time, it was said,
but then the amendments, together
with his report, are again to be sent
to the heads of the various naval
bureaus which might be affected by
the proposed changes, and it Is esti-
mated that this will take about an
other month.
When the departmental study Is
completed the measure will be sent
to the Budget Bureau for study there
and recommendation as to whether
or not 1t interferes with the Presi-
dents economy program, after which
it will be ready for presentation to
Congress for introduction.
Although being a governmental
measure and. Of course, receiving
strong support because of that fact,
it is expected Naval Reservists will
make a strong fight in committee to
have some of their recommendations
put in as amendments. While no in
dication has been given as to the de-
tails Of the measure, it was said that
it Is not likely that it will contain
one Of the principal recommendations
of the Reservists, and that is the es-
tablishment in the Navy Department
Of another Assistant Secretary. whose
sole duties would deal with the opera
ton OF the Reserve, and a division
of Naval Reserve affairs in the de-
partment headed by a Naval Reserve
officer. There Is q Reserve division
in the department now as a part OF
the Bureau Of Navigation. but it is
headed by captain in the Regular
Establishment detailed for that pur-
pose.
However, there Is little likelihood,
it was said. that the Assistant Secre-
tary provision will be placed in the
bill because of the departments stand
that such a provision would provide
dual establishment, which would be
serious handicap in the event that
it became necessary to call the Res
ervists into the service Then, it was
pointed out, it would be folly to have
two units trying to run the same or
ganization, and it would be serious
from q naval standpoint. II such
plan were provided the Navy would
be faced with the problem at the
beginning Of any hostilities Of first
absorbing the Reserve organization
into one fighting unit.
