National Guard Faces Long Duty Under Emergency
Army officials expect Congress to authorize extending the National Guard one year of training as a response to the unlimited national emergency declared by President Roosevelt. Defense officials forecast a decision next month and plan to replace guardsmen with selective service draftees while demobilization would lessen Army strength. The 1920 Defense Act limits federal guard service to 15 days yearly unless Congress declares emergency. The Guard now comprises about 1,335,000 officers and men in 18 square divisions plus regular army and armored units.
