no question that such q system

II do not get mad easily, but
when people argue about the ap-
preparation of funds that may save

asked for funds-if necessary money
should be raised by popular sub

Wholesale DISCHARGE
OF j. ). Workers by
State Guards DELAYED
Nearby Companies Awoit
CIorificotion Of Order
From War Department

A threatened wholesale discharge
from the Maryland State Guard of
men now in Federal employ has
been averted, at least temporarily,
by an order fnom Brig. Gen. D. H.
Mohr, State commander, suspend
ing the dismissals until further no.
tice, it was revealed yesterday by 1t.
Col. E. Brooke Lee, commander Of
the 7th Battalion with headquarters
at Silver Spring.
In q new order sent to battalion
commanders throughout the State,
but affecting principally companies
in Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, Gen. Mohr announced that
the discharges required by his pre-
vious order will henceforth be at the
discretion of the battalion COM
mander and the officers and men
concerned until further clarification
Is received from the War Depart
ment.
Earlier the War Department had
requested that all Government
workers in the State Guard be
dropped from the Guard immediate
ly because their administrative
functions" in the Government might
be impaired if they should be called
into active duty as guardsmen.
Col. Lee estimated that enlisted
strength of the three Montgomery
County companies would be cut in
half and the units would have to
undergo a complete reorganization
as a result of the first instructions
Lee Plans Survey.
Heads of the Guard units in the
State contended that many of the
men who would be affected by the
order are employed in non-defense
agencies of the Government and
could be released for active duty in
the Guard without impairment Of
their agencies efficiency.
Col. Lee said he would make
survey among the members of his
command to learn how many who
are working for the Government
could be dropped from Guard rolls
without seriously affecting the COM
panies.
He added that q system will be
set up to judge each prospective
discharge on its own merits. Simi-
lar measures are expected to be
taken by Maj. Caesar Aiello, COM
mander OF the 9th Battalion.
In Arlington County and Alexan-
dria. where q similar order was
given by Gov. Darden which would
result in discharge Of half the per-
sonnel Of the Virginia Protective
Force, unit officers have left the
matter up to the individual men.

gate the matter to see whether
