Obstacles Against
National Guard
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Maj. Gen.
Ellard A. Walsh, president of the
National Guard association, ac
cused the army today of placing
“every conceivable obstacle” in
the way of reorganizing the state
military units.
He declared the motive appears
to be a plan to set up the organized
reserve corps as “a great federal
militia in competition with the na
t onal guard.”
Walsh, who is Minnesota adju
tant general, made his assertions
in an address prepared for the
opening of a three-day meeting of
the adjutants general association,
which he also heads.
The war department’s portwar
defense plans contemplate a na
tional guard of about 680,000 and
an organized reserve corps of
about 876,000. The program in
cludes tours of active duty and
training periods'in the field. The
national guard usually trains one
night a week, with annual training
exercises in the field.
PORTLAND, Ore. |/P)—Wendell
