Governor Views
State Guards,
Needs, Outlook

In view of the status of the Cali
fornia State Guards and its future,
Governor Earl Warren has dk-
closed some pertinent observations.
Recently TIE situation in Imperial
county was made quite plain by
Major Elmer Heald, in command
OF the county groups. At that time
Ma ior Heald declared more inter-
est must be shown by the public or
the organization would crumble.
In an open letter Governor War
ren says:
The California State Guard
needs men.
Il am free TO tell the community
leaders to whom this is addressed
that the troops stationed in Cali
fornia are constantly being drained
away from this coast in order tC
take part in the increasingly heav3
fighting in the Pacific area. Lieu
tenant General Emmons Com
manding General, Western Defense
Command, has written 10 me TO say
that the State Guard is now al
indispensable part CT the protec-
ton of California.
GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY
You need not be told that we
have a grave responsibility. Cali
fornia is nearer TO the battle-lines
and more important to the conduc'
of the war by reason of our vital
natural resources and war indus
tries. than almost any other State
Il is our job not only TO protect this
arsenal of war, but also to protect
our own homes.
An important part of this spe-
cific task belongs to tie State
Guard. Last year, by legislative
enactment, the Guard was COM
pletely recrganiZed. 1t is a nome
guard in the truest sense, composed
of male citizens l8 TO "a years OLD
No Guard units may be sent out
side the boundaries OF its home
county without its consent. NO
Guard unit may be drafted as
unit into the Army. However, the
Army gives the Guard its full sup
pert, supplies uniforms and equip
ment and makes training possible.
General Emmons tells me that the
Guard has proved its worth IN re-
recent military exercises, and thaf
increasing the strength OF the
Guard will make pocsible the release
of more Federal troops for duty
over seas.
REQUIREMENTS STATED
"All that is required of a Guard
member is that he drill two and
half hours a week and receive basic
training similar to that given &c
the regular army. In time OF emer-,
gency each Guard unit is called to
active protection of its home COM
munity.
As Governor of the State Of Cali
fornia and co-holder with you OF
the responsibility fer the protec-
ton of this State, I ask that you
assist TO your fullest ability in tell
ing California men how desper-
ately they are needed in tie State
Guard. I shall appreciate letter
from mayors and chairmen OF
boards of supervisors, addressed to
me. telling me of the Willingness
of your city CT county to do So
Upon receipt of sue ha letter, we
will give you all the assistance pos
sible in organizing local unit OF
the State Guard
