Status of National Guard

. 4

May Be a Post-War Problem

By DOUGLAS SMITH _ Scripps-Howard Stal Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 9=The na-

that any compulsory military a Ing system be integrated with the guard. he Regiments Disbanded

Maj. Gen. Ellard A. Walsh, president of the National Guard assoelation, told the governors that durIng the war “powerful and influential groups and individuals” in the army worked secretly to eliminate the national guard entirely.

He said the West Pointers re lleved national guard commanders “on every conceivable pretext” and broke up and disbanded many of “our most historic regiments” after guard units were absorbed. Regular army officers traditionally have a small regard for military training outside the army. The Army and Navy Bulletin, unofficial sald recently: “Most regular officers feel that the guard is no fit orgahization to train men for war because, they say, it. has low training and professional standards and is shot through with politics.”

Point to Records

"The fact that governors control the guard units has long been subject to criticism, because such governors as the late Huey Long of Louisiana would “call out the guard” to enforce political whims. Organized labor sometimes found the national guard being used to break strikes. However, guard proponents point to the outstanding performance in war of such national guard units as Ohio's famous 37th division. Some national guard officers were brilliant leaders and rose to high rank. The war department's post-war plans call for a national guard of 872000 men, considerably larger

than before the war. It includes'a ‘air national guard. But guard leaders wonder where they are going to get that many recruits if a one-year military training bill is passed. They don’t think many young Americans will care to join up after putting in a full year in the army. Sees Political Need

Therefore the guard, and the Southern governors, prefer the substitute plan of Your -months army,

Sh training before the war consisted of one drill period per week plus. two weeks active duty at an army camp in the summer, “With a federal militia, congress might eliminate the national guard,” Gen. Walsh declared. And Governor Colgate Darden of Virginia said, “Unless coritrol of the national guard is left in the states, we will see a disappearance of our form of government.” An old-line army officer at the Pentagon looks at it from another angle: “Sure, there will be a national guard. Thei's the best way to get an army appropriation bill through congress.”

SHANGHAI, Jan. 9. A wave of nationalism is sweeping through China. There is evidence that the feel-ing-is fostered by Jap and Naz organizations here. “The leaders of these groups hope they can split China and her allies over the very issues for which the war was fought. The Japs are still using the “Asia for Asiatics” propaganda line. The Nazis in places where they still have influence are quietly and effectively spreading their antiSemitic doctrine. - Japanese Property Both campaigns are showing results. American businessmen here cannot even recover their automobiles x. stolen by the Japs when they held Shanghal. These cars now are being driven

(TELLS WHY HITLER STOPPED T00 SOON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (U. P.).—

i Mrs. lrg British near-disaster at Dun-

kirk in 1939 caught the German high command without a plan “of any sort” for the invasion of England, sccdordifig to German Adm: Rarl Dogpile." ~~ In a report written for allied in-| telligence officers, Doenitz, the sub- | marine expert who relieved Adm. Eric Raeder as commander-in-chief of the German fleet in 1943, gave two reasons for Germany's failure to have an invasion plan. They were: 1. Hitler's belief, before the war, that Great Britain would not fight. 2. The surprising speed with which German forces moved across France and swept the British expeditionary force into the channel. After Dunkirk, Hitler ordered preparations for an- invasion in the hope of ending the conflict quickly. The German high command, however, never was able to effect air supremacy over the channel and England. Consequently, the invasion was abandoned in September, 1940.
