On September 16th ,more than 60,
000 members of the National Guard
from 26 States will report at various
Army posts for a year's training.
Taking advantage of the special de
fense resolution recently passed by
Congress, the President called this
group for intensive training which
would eventually include the entire
National Guard. In addition, when
the Selective Service Bill becomes
law, the War Department is expected
to call into service about 400,000.
It should be noted that Guardsmen
below the rank of Captain, who have
wives or children dependent upon
them, can resign during the first
twenty days of the life of the law.
This provision applies to organized
reserves also. While in training, the
Guardsmen will receive regular Army
pay and legislative safeguards have
been provided to protect t.hem in the
possession of jobs they held in pri
vate life.
