Doubled by Next June
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Maj. Gen. Ellard w. Walsh, presi-
dent of the National Guard Asso-

that the Guard would complete the
organization of $500 units by that
date, with an aggregate strength
in excess of 100000.
Reorganization Progressing.
The outgoing president said the
Guards reorganization program has
made very substantial progress
toward its goal OF 6,373 units and
ultimate strength of 682,7s6 despite
handicaps"
"The National Guard" he said
has been hampered by a reduction
of more than $48, 600, 900 in the 194s
appropriation, by bewilderine
policies relating to enlistments, in.
ability to obtain the return Of ia.
cilities and installations loaned te
the Federal Government in time OF
World War II, failure on the part
of the War Assets Administration to
turn over facilities and installations
and the disinclination and in
difference of the Corps of Engineers
Of the Army to accomplish leases. -
Gen. Walsh said the last Congress
passed some needed military legis-
lation, but left others undone. He
listed universal military training,
revision of the Army-Navy justice
systems and the retirement bill in
the group Of items he felt should
have been approved.
