1888 FIELD PLANS
ON TRAINING ASKED
Army Corps Headquarters
Called for Estimates for
Militia Activities.

Although officers of the local Guard
have just about gotten their feet
firmly pressed on the armory train
ing program. after weeks in the field
for their annual tests, the War De-
partment already is calling on them
for recommendation for the field
training work OF the next season.
They want to know where they pro-
pose to take the training, how many
troops, how much money and few
other things And while they are en-
gagged on the work of setting the
armory training program in the di-
rection of the annual armory inspec-
tions, they will have to halt long
enough to prepare information for
the field work of next Summer. These
reports must be in the headquarters
of the Sd Army Corps Area by No.
vember Is, which is but few days,
as far as the Guard is concerned, as
it is only supposed to drill one night
week
Just what the Engineers plan to
do has not been determined, and it
is expected that the matter will be
discussed at conferences of the officers
of this regiment in the near future,
with Col. John w. Oehmann, the
commander. However, it has been
definitely determined, it is said, that
| the Coast Artillery, commanded by
Col. Walter w. Burns, wants to re-
turn to Fort Story, Va, where there
is available modern anti-aircraft
equipment and a range on which it
can be used
The divisional troops here want to
| go wherever the division headquar-
| ters trains, and that is a matter
which will have to be decided by
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, COM
manding the National Guard of
Maryland and the 29th National
| Guard Division. AS soon as this is
| decided by Gen. Reckord for his head
| quarters the problem of the local
contingent of this outfit will be set
| tied, it was said.
There is little probability that there
will be another divisional mobilization
next Summer, as the instructions for
sending in the estimates informs the
Guard officials that large concentra-
tions of troops should be avoided
This means that the local troops
will have to seei individual camps
as they did during the current Sum-
mer.
| Also the troop commanders have
been instructed that they must re-
duce the amount of baggage taken
into the field, and further instruc-
tions direct that motor transport be
used as much as possible in the move
| ments. There is possibility that
the number of motor vehicles for the
local Guard may be increased prior
to the next encampment, so that its
| movement can be made in its own
vehicles. However, in the past when
using motor transport, it has been
necessary not only to borrow the
equipment from the Regular Army,
but from Guard units of adjacent
States. This proved 50 unsatisfactory
that in the movement to camps last
year the local Engineer Regiment and
division troops use railroad trains.

ing himself responsible for the an
nuity, and others contributing the
lump sum.
Mayfair rumors that Mrs. Simp-
sons divorce might be blocked
arose because the Simpson dossier,
covering the preliminary decree
she won at Ipswich from Ernest
Simpson, is kept from the gaze OF
bar and public alike.
A divorce lawyer explained that
in many cases the Kings proctor
enters a technical objection to
completion of a divorce action to
keep members of "hySterical pub
lie" from privately trying to i'm
pede granting of decree.
When such persons try to inter
vene, they are shooed off with the
subterfuge that the Kings proctor
has already officially intervened.
In all probability, the lawyer
said. the technical objection will
be lifted just before the final de-
cree is due to go through April 81.

Prince Rudolf, who committed
suicide with "the woman he
loved" Baroness Vectra, because
the emperor and the church op-
posed their marriage.

JUDGE FLAYS
SNOW RULE

Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran today threw out of Traffic
Court the Districts third snow re-
moval parking ban, citing the same
reasons he gave when he declared
the second invalid about a month
ago.
He said:
"ThiS new regulation Is just
as arbitrary and unreasonable as
the last and I hereby declare it
invalid"
His action was taken on the first
case of the day, which found q.
Monford Smith. charged with
parking in violation of a snow re-.
moval sign on Thirteenth Street
Northwest February 25.
Smith ?dmitted hn !
there, but questioned the legality
of the law. Judge Curran oluered
the clerk to enter q motion to

and then ruled in the latter's
favor.
The ruling came as a surprise,

by Judge Curran If his office had
anything new to offer in defense

that his office had not prepared
anything and would rest on the
arguments put forth in behalf Of
the first regulation.
After the juriSt had declared

fled that their cases would be con-

go backward with age"
The women's group was formed

Major Ernest W. Brown, super

preme Court today awaited that
tribunals reaction to the new law
authorizing voluntary retirement
of it's justices on full pay at the
age Of 70.
The bill was being enrolled for
the Presidents signature as Sena-
tor Honest Vic" Donahey (D0 of

Hope Some Will Quit
Administration leaders, however,
were hopeful several justices would
retire under provisions Of the new
bill, thereby removing the neces-
sity of enacting the Presidents
measure in order to get constitu-
tional decisions friendly to the
New Deal. Rumors have persisted
that at least two Of the six justices
now over 10 would take advantage
of the retirement act.
Opposition leaders, meanwhile,
expressed doubt that any justice
would retire under existing cir
cumstances. Senators Hiram W.
johnson CR.) of California, and
Edward r. Burke Cd of Nebraska,
declared they would have little re-
spect for any justice who retired
while legislation was pending
which sought to force his retire
ment.
Donahey, in joining the oppoSi-
tion camp. said:
""The Constitution is the fOun
datiOn Of our Government. The
Fathers builded the community
temple and placed it in our
hands for safekeeping, then
passed on. 1t is our solemn duty

it included the provision for re-
tirement at full pay without per
Torrance of any duty.
Senator Borah (R), Of Idaho,
took a different view. He said:
This retirement bill does not
increase the emoluments of Su.
preme Court justices. EmOlu-
ments do not consist Of dollars
and cents alone, but do consist
solely Of compensation in some
manner. Under this bill, jus
tices will get the same money as
before, although it does lessen
their work. But, under this bill,
they may be called on to do more
diSagreeable work than they
have performed as active JUS
tices. Under it, any Senator or
Representative could be ap-
pointed if a vacancy occurred on
the present court"
