Congress Help in
Equipping Guard

Representative Brooks, Demo.
crat, of Louisiana, today assured
National Guard chiefs that Con-
gress will take steps to furnish the
Guard the equipment and areas
needed for training.
The chairman of the House
Armed Services subcommittee or
reserve components gave his guar
antee during the second day of a
three day meeting of State Adju-
tants General at the Mayhower
Mr.. Brooks also discussed draft
legislation now under study In
Congress.
Before Mr.. Brooks spoke, reports
from various State officials in
dicated that the Army had been
moving in on National Guard
training facilities and equipment
It was charged that in some cases
the Army had dispossessed Guard
units from their armories, and had
moved to deny the outfits the use
of summer camp areas. In other
cases, it was stated, the armed
services had taken shop mainte-
nance equipment needed by the
Guard to keep up their material.
Mr.. Brooks, however, said Con-
gress would see to it that the
Guard. received necessary equip
ment, armories and field training
sites.
He said that the country must
give more attention to the Guard
as a cost-cutting measure. The
legislator cited comparative main
tenance costs as $4.033 to support
a regular soldier and only $623
to maintain a Guardsman not on
active duty.
In his discussion Of the pend
ing draft legislation, Mr.. Brooks
said he expected the House bill
to provide for Is months service
beginning at the age of 1872
years.

When will you come; my love

My Love will not come to this
