nautical Guard of SEQ making {
top limit CT 22l00 was approve
tentatively today by a sub-commlt-
tee of the legislature.
Other changes in the guard in
rludcd in the tentative legislation
would cut the salaries OF guart
officers to about half the presen
army base pay, restrict the Cover
nors power to call guardsmen TO
active duty. prevent home guard
f-rces from going outside their
home counties. and give each mar
he option of serving as a homf
-Uard or in the mobile force tc
serve anywhere in the state.
The existing state guard has beer
called to active duty in various
places since the outbreak OF the
var. Gov. Culbert Olson asked the
legislature for Sl7500.000 to fl
nance the guard but the recent spe-
