U. 5. Hospital Care
Aim Of Guard Group

disqualification for members OF
the National Guard on the same
basis as that now given veterans of
the late wars in which the United
States participated, and retirement
and pension privileges for those in
jured while in the service of the
United States are among the legis-
lation which lis likely to be sought
at the coming session Of Congress
The National Guard Association of
the United States has gone on rec
ord as supporting these proposals,
and probably will seek to have the
necessary bills introduced when
Congress convenes in January.
The hospital proposal is that
amendments of the present laws be
provided which will give to all
active members of the National
Guard having one or more years
service, all the disqualification privi-
leges now available to veterans,
unless such accident or illness be the
result of wilful misconduct.
Such authorization by hospitali-
Zation, of course, would mean
nothing unless it was accompanied
by large appropriation to cover
its cost, 1t was pointed out as it is
questioned whether the funds allo-
Gated to veterans disqualification
would be sufficient to cover any
great addition such as might be ex-
pected if the militia of the country
were included.
Under the laws now in force,
militiamen receive disqualification
for sickness and injury incurred in
line of duty at training camps, but,
in any event, this is limited to six
months. The Army authorities and
the controller general has been very
strict in these cases, however, par
ticularly those involving illness. If
a man is taken sick in camp, it must
be shown that the illness was not In
the incubation period prior to his
acceptance for camp service.
The proposed pension legislation
would put officers and men of the
National Guard disabled while serv-
ing in the active service OF the
United States in time of war or ma
tional emergency on the same plane
as those in the regular service. The
Guard association would have it
provide also that If an officer or en-
listed man dies as a result of wounds
or disability incurred in line of duty
or in returning to his place of resi-
dence after being mustered out of
the service, his widow and children
shall be entitled to all the benefits
of the pension and retirement laws
as are granted to survivors of those
in the regular services.
Those in the Guard feel, 1t was
said, that these men who fight
alongside the regular establishment
officers and men in time of war
should be treated the same in the
matter of protection for themselves,
If injured, and for their families If
killed in action or die as the result
Of wounds.
Efforts also are to be made to have
corrected the system which raises
questions sometimes as to whether
members Of the Guard who become
Ill or are injured while on duty will
be paid. It - proposed to have the
law changed 20 that II . guardsmau
