National Guard Faces Good and Bad News Locally
Vernal National Guard units face mixed outcomes as about 90 guardsmen mobilized for active duty at Ft. Lewis are slated for release between August 1 and time. Proposals to cut eight Army Reserve and National Guard divisions threaten to close Vernal Armory and affect nearby armories in Leh and Price if the plan proceeds. Major Gen Maxwell B. Rich and Gov George D. Clyde oppose the culback, with other states likely affected. Rich has until May 3 to choose which Utah engineer battalions would be eliminated.
