FIGHT EXPECTED
ON ACTIVE DUTY
Young Reserve officers Expected
to Seek More Assign
ments. -'

Young officers of the Naval Reserve,
many of whom are graduates of the
United States Naval Academy, it is
understood, are likely to make a
strong bid to Congress when the
amendment to the United States
Naval Reserve act is under consider
alton for legislative direction that
they be given an opportunity for more
indefinite active duty assignments.
They pointed out many OF the in
definite active duty in some of the
naval districts have been filled for so
long a period by the same Naval
Reserve officers that they have more
or less attained the status of perma-
nent naval officers.
They say there are some officers
who have served for many years in
these jobs, receiving the full pay Of
their respective ranks, and many Of
them have not been to sea for years,
although the Navy requires its officers
to take alternate periods Of sea and
shore duty. AS long as these officers
remain in their positions, it was said,
the younger officers will never have an
opportunity for active duty where they
could obtain training which would fit
them for better service if they were
called for duty in an emergency.
The younger element say that these
indefinite duty assignments, which
have more or less, in many instances,
turned into perpetual assignments as
much as any regular naval officer
should be given for periods of four
years or less. so that more officers
would have an opportunity for serv-
ing. During the depression period
many Naval Reserve officers were out
of work and it was said that they
would have been glad to get even
short tour of duty in their respective
ranks, which would have not only
helped the Reserve officers finan.
cially, but would have been 6 great
lift in their training.
Some of the officers on these per.
petual assignments, it was said. are
getting along in years and soon viii
have to be retired, which means thai
the long years that they have beer
on duty will not be of much service
to the Government, whereas if thii
training were given to younger ,f1i.
GERS they could put it to valuable uss
in training work for many years befor
they reached the retirement age.

GUARD HERE MAY
GET 5 new UNITS
2O5 Enlisted Men and IA Officers
Expected to Be
Added.

Although no definite Information
has been received from the War De-
partment, officers of the local Ma
tional Guard expect to get five new
units added to the organization this
year. These will come out Of the
5000 increase in personnel provided
in the appropriation act, and it Is
expected announcement Of the units
to be formed will be made in a short
time.
1t was said the number to be allo-
Gated to the District will be approx
mately 204 enlisted men and II OH
GERS. This was the number received
from the first increment Of 5000 pro-
vided by Congress last year.
At local headquarters it is hoped
some anti-aircraft artillery will be
obtained from the new units to be
authorized. The local anti-aircraft
artillery, the 260th, will become full
regiment II additional troops are pro-
vided, which will provide for the
assignment of a colonel. Lieut.. Col
Walter w. Burns, commander Of the
incomplete regiment, will be IN line
for promotion for colonel, and there
will be vacancies for a lieutenant
colonel and two ma iors, it is under
stood. The artillery regiment has
been working on plans to get full
status, and if this is done there will
be two full regiments of troops here
which will bring to the fore again the
discussion as to whether the time Is
ripe for the appointment of a COM
manding general here, as the militia
organic act provides.
This general officer vacancy has
been left untitled since the death oi
Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan more thar
two years ago, although local trade
bodies and civic organizations have
made efforts to have the vacancy
filled because they believed that the
prestige of the local militia required
it. The War Department was repre-
sented as opposing the appointment
because at the time there was not q
brigade of troops here, as such, but
those familiar with military opera
tions have pointed out that the local
troops constitute provisional brigade

More Facilities,
AreRequired'For
Forest. Seedlings
Daily Dispatch s. Bureau,
Tn The Sir 1fNR. Hot


Raleigh, July 19-Greater facilities
for the production of forest tree seed
lings in North Carolina, are impera-
tive, since the enactment by Congress
of the Farm forestry bill, j. S.; Hol-
mes, State forester, said today.
This bill has authorized an ap-
preparation of $2,500,OOO to be spent in
all the States to aid farmers to re-
establish forest covers" Mr.. Holmes
said. This will mean a much greater
demand upon the state nursery near
Clayton in Johnston county, with a.
probable crop of we'll over a 1900, 600
seedlings to be distributed this year.
Control of the white grub and an ade-
Quate supply of water, both factors
in last years small crop, have assur-
ed substantial increase of seedlings
for the reforestation this year.
'tOur greatest need at this time"
the State forester continued, sis a
nursery in the western part of the
State 70 produce such mountain spe-
cies as white pine, hemlock, balsam,
spruce and native hardWoOds. An
area near the crest of the Blue Ridge
in Henderson county has been. tata-
area. or some other if a more suitable
one can be found, will be developed by
the Brevard CCC Camp, with seed be-
ing sown next winter or spring. The
first seedlings from this proposed
nursery would not be available until
the planting season Of 1939-4O.
I'm view of the fact that there have
already been many deriands for seed
lings from the western counties, it IS
certain that with the Farm Foresty
allotment to- this state being made
available, the demand for planting
stock will increase manifold before
the mountain nursery starts produc-
irg.
"In order to ,exo,'iite the. growing
of adequate, numb as of forest tree
seedlings to supply the increasing de-
uards. the Division Of Forestry is at
present laying i,,:'n,'a plans locking
i forward to a .,rcA::Y expanded ser
| vice at the nurse les and tc the land
