STATE GUARD TO STAY AT PEAK

The need for the Maryland state
Guard has increased in proportion to
the depletion of Federal troops avail
able for emergency use in this Area,
Governor O'Conor made clear fol-
lowing a meeting with the Command
ing officers and Battalion Command
ers of the State Organization.
Quoting 1t. General Ben Lear,
Commander of the Ground Forces of
he United States, and Major Gener-
II Philip Hayes, head of TIE Third
Service Command, as to the impor-
lance of the State units at this time,
Governor O'Conor also praised highly
he training and discipline of the Off
GERS and enlisted men alike.
For the remainder of the war and
the period of the present emergency"
the Governor declared, "the va:iovs
State Guards and Reserve Militia
units are becoming more and more
the only organized units of trained
men avavilable. To them the people
of America must look for active sup
port of peace and good order and for
protection of lives and property with
in the continental United States, be-
cause organized active Army field
or combat units of every description
are moving or have moved overseas.
at would be most unwise, and I'M
safe, to decrease the strength, train
ing and general state of preparedness
of the State Guard units for the re,
mainder of the emergency. Both from
and good order within Maryland, and
as a basis for the future organization
of the states military protective force
the work of the officers and men Of
the Maryland State Guard continues
of very real Importance. 1t is actual y
now more without active Army sup
port; when viewed from the internal
standpoint, than at any previous
time during the present emergency.
st is imperative for the continued
security of our State and our people
that the State Guard be maintained
at peak strength, that units not up to
strength be recruited promptly, and
that training be continued Wnceasing-
ly so that every member of every unit
might be fit to answer the call if, un-
fortunately, the need should arise.
Throughout the years, in every
crisis that has faced America, the
States, through their military organ
izations, have made definite con-
tribution to the security of the Ma
ton. From earliest Colonial Days, the
Militia and the various State Guards
all volunteers, citizen-soldiers who
left their fields and trades to fight,
have been tradition of the United
States. Since Revolutionary Days
these State units have formed a sub
stantial portion of the Armed Forces
OF this Nation.
Moreover, in the normal exercise
of State functions it is necessary that
there be available to the Governors of
the several States military force
sufficient in numbers and far enough
advanced in training to cope with any
internal emergency or trouble thai
may arise. Use of Federal troops to
put down disorder within the States
is last resort justified only by the
absolute inability of State authority
to meet the situation. 1t is a confess
sion OF weakness no State should ever
want to make"

Both Houses of Congress have

But the deep waterways project

perhaps 500 million dollars would

improving our waterways is not gen.
