The National
Guard: Our
Part-rime Army
The citizen-soldiers who volun
tarily devote many afterwork
hours to train in the National
Guard, are a vital factor in Amer
ica’s blueprint for defense.
In every war America has
fought, the National Guard pro
vided the core of trained soldiers
who formed the nucleus for hard
hitting divisions and armies ob
serves the February Coronet ar
ticle, “The National Guard: Our
Part-Time Army.’’
Unique in membership, the
Guard boasts of a past that ante
dates by many years the estab
lishment of the U. S. Army. More
than 360,000 men throughout the
country trade their civilian clothes
for uniforms and participate in
drills, weapon fire and military
tactics as volunteer soldiers one
night a week.
Each state organizes and con
trols its own Guard, with the De
partment of the Army distribut
ing equipment and Regular Army
instructors supervising training.
The governor is the only man in
peacetime who can mobilize his
National Guard units—always for
duty solely within state boundar
ies—but in the event of a national
emergency, the President can or
der the Guard to Federal service.
The National Guard is the ve
hicle through which well-trained
men practice preparedness in to
day’s tense world. Coronet de
clares: “Their sacrifice signifies
far more than the comparatively
few hours devoted to drill and
maneuvers. For every officer and
soldier knows that he will be‘first
to go’ if war breaks.”
“Meanwhile,” concludes Coro
net, “quietly and virtually unher
alded, these volunteer militiamen
are marching in footprints etched
by their courageous ancestors at
Lexington and Concord.”
The Regular Army instructors
for the 1st Alaska Scout Battalion
are Capt. George H. Howell, Jr.,
Sgt. Woodrow Farrington, Sgt.
Calvin Kretzmeier and Sgt. Rob
ert Lee.
Rev. and Mrs. Elmer Parker of
the Presbyterian Mission on St.
Lawrence Island are here enroute
to the States after which they will
be re-assigned to another post in
Alaska.

(By The Associated Press)
Observers of the Washington
scene said today evidence is piling
up to show the Truman adminis
tration is strongly opposed to
seeking an atomic peace confer
ence with Russia at this time.
President Truman has set the
goal of building up the strength of
the non-communist world in its I
struggle with the Kremlin. He has
warned the nation that it “must
not be misled by the vain hope of
finding quick and easy solutions” j
to the world’s major problems.
In Moscow, newspapers pointed i
to the Soviet Union’s great mili
tary strength and said the com
munist world would not be fright
ened by “atomic blackmail.” The I
nation is celebrating the 32nd an- i
niversary of the Red army.
