MaryIand's 18th Division-This
past week we took up with Secre-
tary of Defense McElroy the pro-
posed reduction of Maryland's 29th
National Guard Division to a g.
group unit. We have Strenuously
protested the reduction. We under
stand that the decision as to which
divisions were to be made into
standard 5-group pcntomic units
and which were to be reduced was
based on a certain rather compli-
Gated yardstick which we consider
inequitable and illogical. The Sec
rotary assures us that the whole
matter is re-opened and will be the
subject Of thorough study in the
Department of the Army Staff

ter-This week l am scheduled to
talk with the President about re-
activating cambridge, about the
transferring of certain operations
to this Maryland base.
