24 THE MORNING HiCMLD, HAGKKSTOWN, Mt. Wtdnrrtty, July 5, 1W POSITIONS FACE PRUNING Cutbacks Expected For Reshuffled National Guard BALTIMORE (AIM The proposed reorganization of the nation's reserve forces would eliminate about 400 positions in the Maryland National Guard and reduce Die number of slate units from 08 to 45. This assessment of how the move would affect Maryland was made by Col. Benjamin F. Dean, chief of staff of the 29th Infantry Division.

Under the reorganization plan announced by the Pentagon June 3, 15 Guard divisions including the 29th--would be eliminated. If Congress approves the plan, the Maryland National Guard would be reorganized next February. Of the 400 positions which would be eliminated, Col. Dean said, 139 would be officers 2 colonels, 13 lieutenant colonels, 47 majors and 77 captains. He said all of the positions to be retired would be phased out over a three-year period.

For an enlisted man. the greatest change would be to shift to an- other unit or have (lie function of his present unit changed. The majority of the G.8G8 Maryland men in the National Guard would not be affected by reorganization, Col. Dean said. Most of the 6,808 Maryland men in the National Guard would not be affected by a proposed re- organization of (lie nation's reserve forces.

Col. Benjamin F. Dean, chief of staff of the 29th Infantry Division, said that although 400 positions would be eliminated in Maryland National Guard units, the greatest change for enlisted men would be a shift to another unit, or having their function in an existing unit change. Under the Defense Department proposal, the number of units would be reduced from E8 to 45. If Congress approves the reorganization, which was announced June 3, 15 guard divi- sions including Maryland'! historic 29th would be eliminated.

The Maryland guard would be reorganized next February. Dean said of the position! to be eliminated, 139 are officers. He said all of the position! would be phased out over a three-year period. City, County Obituaries Garley R. Smith Garley Roosevelt Smith.
