WASHINGTON", April 3. Over vig orous objection by Chairman Chamber lain of the military committee, the Senate today voted 35 to 30 for the Cummins plan to amend the Army re organization bill by creating a Nation al Guard section of the greneral staff "When recess was taken tonight the chairman and other members of the committee were fighting hard against & second amendment championed by Senator Cummins and Senator Lee of Maryland, -which would eliminate the Jrovision for a Federal volunteer Army. Senator Chamberlain argued during the debate that pernicuous activity on the part of both officers of the Na tional Guard and regular Army threat ened tj undo the months of serious work: done by the committee, and he threatened that unless the Army offi cers ceased attempting to influence legislation through personal appeal to Senators, he would seek to have them disciplined by the War Department. Indue Influence Charged. He said officers who appeared be fore the committee were unwilling to ee their plans worked Into a homo geneous bill, and as soon as they con cluded their testimony began to at tempt to influence friendly Senators. "The committee might just as well give up if each officer Is going to be able to induce his Senator to with hold his support until the measure embodies everything the officer wants." Senator Chamberlain said, "I want to express great regret that the Nation al Guard has seen fit to inject itself into the halls of Congress, until now It looks as if it were a fight between the regular forces and the National Guard, as to which is to be considered In legislation which affects the whole country. Array Officers Accnsed, Too. I am not going to limit that criti cism to the National Guard. I have devoted nearly three months of my time to working Just as hard as I know how. and this bill has run the cramut of the department, including the general staff, the war college and all the other military bodies of the Government. We have had views of the representative men of these organ izations and after we have undertaken to formulate a bill, which seemed in the committee, at least, to meet pretty generally the approval of the authori ties, we find that not only the National Ouard and Its officers and I some times fear a lobby is being maintained for that purpose but officers of the Army around the halls of the Senate and House of Representatives are in terfering with this legislation through different Senators, instead ,of leaving the matter to the Representatives who have had it in hand and were respon sible." Army officers have objected to the Cummins amendment and maintained the efficiency of the general staff would be lost if Its meetings were open to National Guard officers, many of whom. It was charged, received their appointments as political rewards and would not appreciate the necess ity of guarding military secrets under discussion.
