Reserves Reported Making Good
On Assignments at Sea
LocuI Citizen Sailors Receive
important Duties on Ships

Members of the 1st Battalion of
the Organized Naval Reserve in the
District of Columbia, who were
early called into the service when
the emergency was first declared,
are reported to be making good on
their various assignments. Their
assignments are spread all over the
Atlantic and the Pacific, with most
of them serving on combat ships in
the patrol waters of the North At
lantic.
But letters received here indicate
that all of the preparation is very
hard work. AS one officer wrote. the
ReservistS used to think that they
worked hard on their annual two
weeks training cruises. but since
they have been on indefinite active
duty they have found that they
work many times harder in getting
their ships and the crews in the
prime of condition to face any
condition which might be assigned
to them during the current and i'm
pending troubles.
1t. F. w. Lemley. who was among
the last of the local officers to go
to sea, has been assigned as gun
merry officer of one of the latest type
of destroyer leaders, it was said.
The duty of gunnery officer on a
ship of this type and size. it was
said, S most important one, and
an assignment that is not given so
readily to Reserve officers so soon
after they have been called to active
duty.

Extended Active Duty
Ordered for Reserve
Air Corps Officers
Exceptions Made Where
Civilian Pursuits Are
Valuable in Defense

With the exception of those Off
GERS whose civilian occupations we're
considered of more value to the de-
fense program than their military
services, all Air Corps reserve off,
GERS were ordered to extended active
duty with the Regular Army as of
August /. They are being assigned
to units for which they are best
qualified by their military training
and civilian experience. The number
of officers call will not be made
public.
Within the next four weeks, Dis
trict of Columbia reserve officers
who still occupy an inactive status
will begin to plan their troop school
conference schedules for the ap-
preaching 1941-42 season. Whether
the schedule next year will be along
the lines of last year is not known.

been harder hit by the assignment
to active duty of larger number of
their officers than others.

Night Flying
Is sInaugurated by
District Air Unit
D. c. Guard Officer
Pilots and Observers
Go Up After Dark

Night flying for the pilots and
observers of the 12lst Aero Squad
ron of the District National Guard
was inaugurated last week. They
were ordered to Boiling Field where
they were sent up in three planes at
intervals, for flights over the city
and nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Although the local outfit only has
two planes permanently assigned to
it for training purposes. it was said
that they have been authorized to
use one of the ships of the Ma
tional Guard Bureau which also is
quartered at Boiling Field.
Night flying is something new for
most of the pilots. 1t was indicated,
but as they carry on their work
while waiting for induction into the
service, they will be expected to get
more Of it. Furthermore, they will
be able to get in more flying time.
Observers and Pilots Affected
The night flying at this time, 1t
was said. will be confined almost
entirely to the officers. and when
these have become thoroughly prof.
cient, they then will consider the
matter of taking up the enlisted
personnel
While the officers were taking
flights, the enlisted personnel were
at the armory forming an enlisted
mans club. AS they are restricted
now to four drill nights a month,
no regular drill was scheduled for
last week and the time was used to
form club. 1t is expected the club
will be formally introduced to its
friends and supporters at a dance
to be given in the near future.
Officers were uncertain as when
they might receive additional planes.
pointing out that the Army is work
ing to provide all of the field outfits
as quickly as possible. They are
now awaiting the orders which
would send them into the training
field. but so far practically no in
formation has been received as. to
definite date for the induction
and the departure for their training
camp.
Attributed to Politics.
A medical board at Walter Reed
Hospital was reported ready to con-
slider the case of Col. Walter w.
Burns, who left Washington in
command of the 260th Regiment
of Coast Artillery. The organiza-
tion has been assigned to Fort Bliss,
Tex, and after few months there
Col. Burns was ordered to Walter
Reed Hospital for observation and
treatment.
Some mystery appeared to develop
as to the reasons for his relief as
commander of the regiment. Col.
Burns organized the artillery unit
here some years ago. having been
an artillery commander during last
World War. Through his efforts
1t was developed into a full regi-
ment.
Enlisted men from the organiza-
tion who have come back to WASH
ington on leave say that there was
a lot of Army politics in the orders
relieving Col Burns and ordering
him to the Army's Medical Center
here. One of the enlisted men said
that the orders for his relief came
because he is alleged to have gone
over the head of the Regular Army
officers in the District in an effort
to have his outfit mover closer
to Washington for training. 1t is
an anti-aircraft unit and has taken
its regular summer training each
year at Fort Monroe, Va.

Says MIR. Goldwyn,
That's the GirlI

With three words, That's the
girl" Samuel Goldwyn has made
it possible for a young New York
stage actress to become world-fa-
nous overnight.
Viewing screen tests for the role
OF Bette Davis daughter in his
forthcoming production of THE
Little Foxes" by Lillian Hellman,
Goldwyn saw test scenes OF 20-year-
old Therese Wright and Immediately
pronounced the words which quickly
led to long-term contract for the
young actress.
In playing the part OF Bette
Davis daughter In "The Little
Foxes" which William Wyler will
direct, Miss Wright has a role to
display before cameras the ability
which has earned her plaudits on
the stage. She plays a prominent
role in the Broadway production Of
Life With Father"
Therese Wright lived in Maple
wood, N. j., until she went to New
York. Now catapulted to fame by
the Hollywood producer, she will
leave New York for the Samuel
Goldwyn studios in time for the
start of production on The Little
Foxes" about the middle of April.

Wnlcn the arrangement serves TO
show off tune rather than to make
1t unrecognizable.
AS a matter of fact you almost
always can recognize a melody
somewhere in Tommy Dorsey
number, even when he veers toward
the manner of those sonatas for 81
tympani and an E-f1at oboe which
delight the hep-cats His version
of Indian Love Call" for instance,

was intended to be, but 1t certainly

peter Ziggy Elman starts fooling
around with his own And the
Angels Sing" while saxes and the
brass section talk back to him.
that's as mellow song as you could
want to hear from any musical
group.
Altogether Mr.. Dorsey stages
bright entertainment, a stage band
show, indeed, which is nightly di-
verting without being bulwarked by
those non-muSical vaudeville acts so
many orcheStraS need to lend va
riety to their appearances. Only
one performer not a member of
the band is on hand and he is Bob
Dupont, the juggler who can make
any stage bill the more pleasant
for his presence. Vocally the Dorsey
show is even more successful than it
might be for presenting a pair of
young singers named Connie Haines
and Frank Sinatra. Their duets are
good enough to make you overlook
all past sappy duets by boy and girl
singers with orchestras. And Mr..
Sinatras ltra-corny version of that
corny ditty entitled South of the

full, not that he isn't good when he
is trying to be good rather than
