Guerrilla Unit Suggested
For Army's Rejectees

the California State Emergency
Corps"
In explaining the plan, Watson
suggested the corps be divided
into two departments-the guer-
rilla division and the intelligence
division.
Men would not be required to
drill for the guerrilla division. he
said, but would be taught to shoot
expertly with rifles bearing tele-
scopic sights; make land mines and
traps from odds and ends avail
able in the vicinity; block high
ways; back-fire wooded areas;
render materials, food, water and
structures useless to the enemy;
steal and destroy cars, trucks,
motorcycles. tanks and planes; tap
telephone lines; board ships and
fire or bomb them.
They would receive no pay and
their uniforms would consist Of
everyday wearing apparel.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 13.--
Citing the effectiveness of guerrilla
warfare, Edgar Watson of San
Francisco has suggested such units
in California to include persons
not eligible for enlistment in
armed forces.
"Men rejected- because they
cannot meet weight, height, or
other minor technical require
ments," Watson said in a letter
10 Gov. gilbert l.. Olson, "want
TO serve the state I'm some more
actively militant way than as
fire wardens or airpiane spot
ters.
Probably you will agree" he
said. "that at least 25 per cent
of Russia's stubborn resistance
has been due to citizen guerrilla
warfare.

formation of a civilian arm of
the State Guard, to be named
