Guard Officers Health
Raises Problems

Physical requirements Of the Army
concerning National Guard officers
to be inducted into the service is
causing no little concern to many
officers who have been with National
Guard units for years. Soon after
the calls came for active duty, it was
said, the War Department showed
an inclination TO tighten up con-
siderably on the physical require
ments of these officers, with the re-
suit that not a few have been cast
in the discard, but not now without
hope of seeing active duty.
The National Guard Association
of the United States has been active
in pushing the cause of these Of
fcers. It has been pointed out that
many of the officers have been with
Guard units for years and have
passed physical requirements for
camp. and have even passed the an
nual physical tests which have been
fixed for the Army. They contend
that many are being thrown out for
defects which can be found in al
most any one as age develops. and
that they are being eliminated for
physical defects which even could
be found in regular officers who are
continued in the service.
The Army has issued instructions
that all National Guard officers who
have been discharged as being unfit
for field service, if their Federal rec
ognition has not yet been with
drawn, will be given an opportunity
to have the defects for which they
were ordered discharged, corrected,
and given another opportunity to
comply with the physical require
ments. However. under the present
terms of the orders if withdrawal of
Federal recognition followed the dis
charge then such officers will not be
given an opportunity to try again
before the boards of examining sur
geons. It is believed that many
trained officers might be saved for
the service under these new orders,
and lot of hard feeling that it has
caused will be wiped out.
Many Of the officers, it was said,
have been eliminated not because
new physical defects have been dis
covered. but that the Army has sud-
denly increased its physical stand
ards. Some of these defects, 1t was
said relate to the vision of officers.
While many Of them have corrected
vision with glasses, it has been held,
under the new regulations, that they
do not have sufficiently good sight
as to enable them to perform field
duty.
1t was said that even officers who
have continued in service have done
so because physical defects have
been waived at the time of examina-
tion. However, it is now said that
although waived for National Guard
duty, which involved service in the
field for training, the War Depart
ment does not feel that it is even
bound by these waivers, so that the
officers concerned may <be continued
in the service after induction.

New Naval Reserve
Battalion May
Be Organized Here
Unit Expected to
Take Place of One
Ordered to Active Duty

While members of the local Naval
Reserve are preparing for call to
active duty when the Navy is ready
for them, it was indicated that plans
are being formulated to organize a
new battalion as soon as the pres
ent units have been ordered to sea
for their period of a year, or for
whatever length o. time the Navy
needs them in order to maintain the
increasing fleet in topnotch fight
ing condition.
This it was indicated by the fact
that the Navy Department has Or
dered on active duty here as an ad-
ditional instructor at the local bat
talon 1t. o. j. Dullickson, U. S. N,
retired. In addition 10 being an in
structor of the local battalion. he
will serve as an assistant to Comdr.
A. B. McCrary, U. S. N, retired, di-
rector of Naval Reserve activities in
this area.
AS the battalion expects to pro-
ceed to sea within a short time. off,
GERS said there would be no purpose
in ordering an additional instructor
here, as there would be little time,
on the weekly drill nights, to give
the present reservists any special
training. They say they understood
that as soon as the present organized
unit clears for sea duty Naval Re-
serve unit will be maintained here,
TO be made up of members of other
branches and new personnel which
is expected TO continue TO seek en-
istment. Plans will be made to pro-
vide facilities for such young men to
enter the service by way of thu Re-
serve,
Evening star., 1940-11-17

The recent orders of the NAVY
Department for naval reservists to
hold themselves in readiness for a
call or active duty does not include
those in the volunteer branch. al
though any volunteer who requests
active duty will be given it imme-
diately. The failure to include these
men in the first call is believed due
TO the fact that they have not re-
ceived any basic training, and even
If called in they would have to be
sent to training areas for a period
of special instruction before they
could be sent to ships and shore sta
tionS.
One of the units, which will be
left here to perform weekly drills
after the members of the three di-
visions of the local battalion are
sent to sea- is the Naval Commune
cations Reserve. men highly trained
in radio and wire communication,
as we'll as signaling
For the purpose of training these
new units it was said that some
OF the officers of the present divi-
sions. after they are called into
active service, will be detailed
for duty at the local armory to
assist in the work of training
additional men for the fleet.
1t has not been made clear
whether those enlisted after the
present battalion goes into the serv-
ice will be taken into the organized
branch, or whether the volunteers
will be transferred to this branch.
The indication that a new organ
izing is being formed has lead some
officers to believe that the members
of the Organized Reserve will be
kept on active duty for a longer
period than the year now contem-
plated. Otherwise. it was explained,
that if they serve only for this
period they would come back and
there would be two battalions here.
On the other hand. it was explained,
and this gives further credence to
the belief that they will serve for
longer periods, the Navy is not likely
to relieve the Reserve suddenly after
year of service as this would leave
the fleet seriously crippled by taking
away suddenly thousands of trained
men. There are those familiar with
the service who point out that this
would result in leaving ships with
out crews at a time when their
service might be vital. Only a sud-
den ending of the present world
conflict would permit such a condi-
ton.
1t. Paul E. KerSt, commanding
officer of the 1st Division, will not
go on active duty with the remainder
of the officers of the battalion when
the call comes directing them to ac-
tive duty.
Lit. q. g. B. H. Lingman, who was
executive officer of this division. has
been ordered to assume command Of
the division.
The enlisted personnel will hold a
dance in the local armory next We'd
nesday night. A section of the band
from the Navy Music School at the
Washington Navy Yard will furnish
the music.
The committee in charge is COM
posed of Chief Boatswain's Mate
Joseph p Slattery, Chief Boat
swain's Mate H. B. Berryhill, 1st
Division; Chief Boatswain's Mate E.
M. Hagaman, I'd Division, and Chief
