SERVICE SCHOOLS
STUDENTS NEEDED
Militia Fails to Fill Vacancies
Offered at Army
Institutions,

Some difficulty has been found by
the War Department in getting suffi-
Gent qualified officers of the National
Guard to take advantage of the
courses being provided for them at
the numerous Army service schools.
Funds have been provided for such
officers, but, as was shown by study
of the reports, there were unfulfilled
vacancies during the year.
From the standpoint of the militia,
It was asserted there are in it many
officers fully qualified to take advan-
tage Of the courses. but they have
civilian positions which, of necessity,
must come first, and many of them
cannot get the time away in order to
attend the school, many of the courses
for which run as much as three
months. Many of the officers in bust
ness for themselves have found it
necessary to remain with them dur
ing the periods of depression and re-
cession, and those who work for others
fear that if they take such a long
time off, it was added, then their
employers might think they were
more interested in the military than
the important work of making a
civilian living
GuardSmen, as we'll as the Regular
Army offers, are fully cognizant of
the Importance of taking tour of
duty at these fine schools, and many
unit comma ders are making seri-
Gus efforts to have their officers take
advantage of the instruction there
provided.
In an effort to overcome this in
ability to get offers. corps area COM
mand, and staff schools were estab-
lished in two of the corps areas to
provide training for National Guard
officers who have been prevented be-
cause of business or professional rea-
sons from attending a service school
However. the lack of funds prevented
the extension of these schools in the
other corps areas last year, it was
said. But. under the present bust
ness conditions, it is probable that
the positions in the service schools
will go vacant, and if the Army wants
the Guard offers to take advantage
of them they will have eventually te
convince Congress of the necessity
Of providing the schools within the
corps areas. However, this would not
include the specialist schools which
have been established in various parts
Of the country. 1t would be costly te
attempt to provide one of each ir
every corps area, and. furthermore
with the present shortage of personnel
In the Regular establishment, there
probably would not be enough in.
structors available properly to mar
all Of the schools.

EXPERT SOUGHT
FOR TAX SURVEY

A nonresident tax expert may
be hired to conduct the new Dis
trict tax survey, rather than the
Joint Committee on Internal Reve-
nue. Taxation, it was indicated to-
day by Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee.
The Senator revealed that the
joint committee is pressed by ma
tional tax studies and would pre-
fer to be relieved Of the local sur
vey.
King has called a conference Of
officials and civic and trade rep
resentativeS with a tax expert Of
the joint committee for Monday
to determine the methods by
which the survey should be made.
In the meantime the local bust
ness privilege tax situation was
complicated by the revelation that
900 of the 1900 applicants for
business licenses who failed to
obtain the licenses had filed be-
fore the June II deadline.
They were denied licenses, how
ever, for failure to pay last years
gross receipts.
