Training Legislation
May Be Held Over
For Next Congress

There will be no universal
military training legislation this
year. House Military Committee
members predicted today.
The committee currently plans To
toss the entire controversial subject
into the lap of the new Congress
when it convenes next January.
Several considerations, committee
members said privately, have mott
waited the general and informal
agreement Of the committee to take
no action this year.
l. This is election year, and the
constituency of most members is
split sharply on whether the United
States should order compulsory
peacetime military training for its
young men.
2. The Army had testified that 1t
does not want both selective service
and universal training at the same
time; it now is fighting for a one
year extension of the wartime draft.
3. If the wartime draft law is ex-
tended, and indications are it will
be, but not for a year, the committee
wants to review the entire military
picture in the light of changed world
conditions just before expiration of
the renewed draft act.

OK Program for
National Guard
Virginia Has Yet
To Accept Federal
Postwar orAIIotment

Acceptances by the District and
Maryland of the postwar National
Guard allotments made early in
February, were announced today by
Maj. Gen. Butler B. Miltonberger.
chief OF the National Guard Bureau.
Virginia has not yet replied.
The District had been allotted a
Guard strength of 1899 men, with
strong air units, while the tentative
figure set for Maryland was 9306.
The favorable replies received from
the District Commissioners and Gov.
.OConor of Maryland mean that sur
veys will be undertaken Immediately.
1t was said, to determine ability to
recruit and maintain such troops.
ID. c. Gets Air Force.
The tentative District Guard in
cIudes $500 men in antiaircraft units
and 789 in an air force comprising
one control and warning squadron
and one fighter squadron. The Dis
trict's air strength, on the basis
would exceed the combined air forces
OF the Maryland and Virginia Guards
because of the strategic position of
Washington in defense plans.
The Maryland strength would
comprise two regiments of the 29th
Division and one fighter squadron.
Virginia had been allotted 12,570
men, comprising one 29th Division
regiment, separate regimental
combat team and one fighter SQUAD
ron.
present plans do not include Dis
trlct representation in the 29th Divi-
sion. 1t is probable that the local
antiaircraft units will come from a
reactivated 260th Coast Artillery
Regiment in which District Guards
men served before and during the
war.
Gen. Mlltonberger announced that
10 States, as well as the District,
have accepted their allotments to
date. These acceptances account
for the formal activation of more
than 175,000 men of the proposed
total strength of 622, 500 officers and
men Tor the postwar National Guard,
vi this total, 571,000 would be in
ground forces and 47,6OO in the air
forces. He expects that confrma-
ton OF all Guard allotments will be
completed in April
Will Reactivate Divisions
| The reorganization and expan-
sion OF the National Guard under
the program now under way will
mean the rebirth of many recently
deactivated divisions whose names
were famous in the war;" Gen. Mil
tonberger said. Praising the combat
record OF the National Guard as a
whole, he declared its 18 combat
divisions and scores of other units
were already organized as fighting
force when the Japs attacked Pearl
Harbor.
The 29th Division, comprising Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia troops,
saw the hardest kind of fighting in
Normandy and Germany. The 260th
Coast Artillery Regiment was among
the first Army units to relieve the
Marines on Guadalcanal. It fought
throughout the Pacific war.

Tidal Basin Blossoms
ToLastAnother Week;
Rain Deters Visitors

Nature lovers will get one more
chance to spend Sunday with the
cherry blossoms, Park Police pre-
dicted today, unless heavy winds or
rains blow the blooms down this
week.
Less than half the expected 250,-
600 visitors were on hand yesterday
to view the pink -and-white display
as steady drizzle kept all but a
hardy 10000 at home. More than
100 Metropolitan and Park police
men had their hands full anyway
with the rainfall increasing the
number of motorists as it sharply
cut the pedestrian visitors.
Capt. Mark H. Raspberry of the
Park Police said Saturdays crowd
OF l35, 900 approached a near record
but yesterday was only an average
Sunday to the railroads, the inn
keepers and the downtown traffic
police
Began Arriving Early.
The first visitors began arriving
in the Tidal Basin area around
1880 am, just before the rain. OBJ
servers said the precipitation-which
reached .06 of an inch, according
to the Weather Bureau-had little
effect on the blossoms. A heavier
rain might have caused some dam
age.
A charge of breaking off small
limb from cherry tree in blossom
on the north side, of the Tidal Basin
in West Potomac Park yesterday
cost a Columbus, Ohio, woman s25
today.
Mrs. Ursula Spurlock, 26, forfeited
that amount at No. police pre-
cinct rather than appear in Mu-
nicipal Court on a charge of de-
stroying Government property.
Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Rapp, 26,
Baltimore, posted $25 collateral at
the precinct and is scheduled to ap-
pear in Municipal Court tomorrow
on the same charge.
Amateur photographers were un-
deferred and shutters clicked mer-
rily. Out-of-State traffic was heavy,
Capt. Raspberry said, and taxicab
drivers did a rushing business in
the ranks of those who were willing
to see the blossoms if they didn't
have to walk.
Traffic Was No Problem.
Traffic was no problem because
the police detail was geared to
handle double the number of auto
mobiles which streamed around the
Basin. A check made at Inlet
Bridge showed that 1920 vehicles
passed between 10 am. and 6 pm
Official counters at the Indepen-
dence avenue entrance to the area
marked 16,400 cars.
Capt. Raspberry said police usually
figure four persons to a car and
added in an additional $4,000 pedes-
trians. Police reported no accidents
but a few bent bumpers went unre-
ported.
The highest temperature yester-
day was 48 degrees at pm, 10 de-
grees below the average for this time
of year. The low was AZ degrees
at 1925 am, the forecaster said. The
mercury today will range between
a and So degrees, according to the
Weather Bureau
