The chief objection to this
proposal is that II would take
away from the states the Ma
tlonal Guard and place IT'S
control, organization and
training in the hands Of the
Army. Opponents Of the plan
raise the cry of enroachment
OF states rights.
One argument advanced by
the Gray Board in support
Of IT'S proposal is that the
National Guard with its pres
ent powerful armament is not
generally suitable for the ex-
ecuuon of state missions in
case Of riot or other civil
uprisings. This argument APP
pears sound. AS the commit
tees report states. To pose
threat of artillery, armor
or air power against citizens
Of this country is hardly in
keeping with any foresecable
situation. and not consistent
with sound public policy
disappointment over the re-
port. however. stems from the
failure of the committee to
make any recommendation to
remove existing barriers
against the enlistment or en-
yollment Of colored personnel
in the reserve forces.
The report contains only
one recommendation for the
expansion OF civilian compon-
ents directly affecting colored
men. and il is meaningless.
II simply states that the
growing need for colored Of
ficers makes desirable an in
crease IN the number of Re-
serve Officers Corps units in
colored colleges. 1t points out
that there were ROTC units
in nine colored colleges, five
OF which are Immigrant

pared. and presumably at the
request OF colored educators
who appeared before the Gray
Board and urged the estab-
lishment of additional units
