REPORT
OF
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
OF THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1936—DECEMBER 31, 1937
To: His Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina and Com-mander-
in-Chief, North Carolina National Guard, Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Sir:—Submitted herein is report of the operations of the Adju-tant
General's Department and matters pertaining to the National
Guard for the biennium January 1, 1936—December 31, 1937:
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT
The Department has functioned very well and has carried on
the activities of the National Guard of the State throughout the
biennium on the appropriation of $81,180 and $90,795, respec-tively.
It is true that there are some activities in connection with
the efficiency of the National Guard which should be speeded up
but which would require a slight increase in our present appro-priation.
The appropriation as made by the General Assembly
is expended in a careful manner and every effort is made to con-serve
the State's money. It is proper that sufficient travel funds
be authorized commanders of Regiments and Battalions that they
might make, each, two trips per year to units of their command.
Much of the work of the Regimental Commanders is handled
directly by this office, which is not entirely correct but which
is the duty and responsibility of such Regimental Commanders;
yet, this is necessary because of the lack of funds to enable these
Commanders to visit and keep in close touch with the needs of
their organizations and especially the type of training on the
part of the unit commanders.
ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTH OF THE NATIONAL GUARD
The National Guard of the United States is organized along the
same lines of the Regular Army. The entire United States is
divided into nine Corps Areas within each of which is supposedly
4 Report of The Adjutant General
an Army Corps, which Corps is commanded by a Regular Army
officer who commands the Corps Area. Each of these Corps Areas
embodies three or more States. North Carolina with South Caro-lina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Tennessee comprises the Fourth Corps Area with Headquarters
at Atlanta, Georgia. Within this Corps Area there are two
National Guard Divisions and one Regular Army Division, plus
certain other troops known as Corps and Army troops. The
organizations are allotted by the War Department to the respec-tive
States and authority of the War Department is always
secured for the organization of any units. New organizations of
the National Guard have been organized and Federally recognized
as follows: Company A, 105th Medical Regiment, station Wil-mington,
N. C, December 15, 1936 ; Company A, 105th Quarter-master
Regiment, station Winston-Salem, N. C, June 28, 1937;
Headquarters First Battalion, 105th Quartermaster Regiment,
headquarters Henderson, N. C, August 13, 1937.
The strength of the North Carolina National Guard as of
December 31, 1937 is 267 officers, 5 warrant officers and 3137
enlisted men—a total of 3409. The total strength allotted to
North Carolina by the War Department is 280 officers, 5 warrant
officers and 3303 enlisted men.—Total 3588.
Since the general textile strike in September 1934 the State
has been free of any disturbances and serious infraction of the
laws of the State, due to which there has been no cause for the
Governor to place any part of the National Guard on special duty
within the State, except that the National Guard has been called
upon to furnish assistance in a humanitarian service on two or
three different occasions.
SPECIAL DUTY
Batteries C and D and the Medical Department Detachment of
the 252d Coast Artillery, station Greensboro, N. C, were ordered
on duty from April 2-4, 1936, to assist the civil authorities in the
protection of property, necessitated by a tornado which swept
through Greensboro.
One officer and one enlisted man of the 109th Cavalry with
station at Asheville were ordered to duty at Newport, Tennessee,
February 3-March 4, 1937, to command and ration the refugee
camp at that place during the serious flood which swept through
several States of the Central West at that time.
Battery E, 252d Coast Artillery, station High Point, was or-dered
on duty August 30, 1937, to assist in rescue work in which
Report of The Adjutant General 5
some men were covered by earth due to a land slide in the con-struction
of a tunnel at High Point.
The National Guard, due to its disciplinary and systematic
training is an asset to the State not alone in the maintenance of
law and order in the cases of mob violences, but, as is stated
herein, for use of the public in cases of conflagration, floods or
other such serious instances to be faced by the citizenship, when
deemed proper and advisable by the Governor and Commander-in-
Chief.
NATIONAL MATCHES CAMP PERRY, OHIO
The War Department provides the opportunity and Federal
funds for each State to send a National Guard rifle team to the
National matches held annually at Camp Perry, Ohio. It may be
realized that markmanship is a very important training of the
soldier and North Carolina has been represented by a team in the
matches each year.
There has been a considerable interest displayed in the past
few years on the part of civilians who have organized in different
sections of the State rifle clubs. Mr. H. M. Rooney of Linville,
North Carolina, who has been particularly interested, has for the
last two or three years organized a civilian rifle team which has
attended the National Matches, and through his efforts the Gen-eral
Assembly of 1937 enacted into law House Bill No. 1111,
creating a civilian officer for the purpose of working up a greater
interest in marksmanship on the part of civilians, and provided
an annual appropriation of $200.00 to defray the actual expenses
of this work, under regulations to be set-up by the Adjutant
General. This money has been well spent in the interest of
marksmanship.
The Chief of the National Guard Bureau provides the oppor-tunity
annually for indoor rifle matches to be conducted at home
stations of the units of the Guard, and North Carolina has always
had a number of units to participate in these matches, for which
the Chief, National Guard Bureau offers certain medals. Teams
are selected from each unit and from these teams are selected a
Regimental team which competes in the final matches against
regimental teams of other States. In the company teams in the
last few years the following have been the winners:
1933—Company C, 120th Infantry, Henderson.
1934—Company B, 120th Infantry, Warrenton.
1925—Company C. 120th Infantry, Henderson.
1936—Company B, 120th Infantry, Warrenton.
1937—Company B, 120th Infantry, Warrenton.
6 Report of The Adjutant General

UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY
The annual competitive examination, open to all enlisted men
of the National Guard, is held at the office of the Adjutant
General, and based upon which the Governor has the opportunity
to recommend an enlisted man of the National Guard to take the
final competitive and entrance examination for the U. S. Military
Academy at West Point. Provided in the Governor's recommen-dation
in November 1936 were Private John G. Tyndall, Jr.,
Report of The Adjutant General 7
Service Company, 120th Infantry, Raleigh, N. C, and Private
James I. Cox, Howitzer Company, 120th Infantry, Gastonia, N. C.
The opportunity for only one recommendation was originally
made but due to the standing of Private Cox in the competitive
examination, the Adjutant General was successful in securing
from the War Department the opportunity for a second recom-mendation.
In the competitive examination held in November, 1937, there
was no competitor who made an average grade that would justify
the Governor's recommendation; hence, no recommendation was
made to the War Department.
CAMPS, ARMORY DRILLS AND INSPECTIONS
Throughout the two years embodied in this report we found a
steady development toward the efficiency of all units of the
National Guard, and though there are some weak spots the
National Guard of North Carolina, as a whole, is believed to be
ready for combat service in case of any National emergency which
may arise, within a period of thirty days. The training at the
home station has been generally progressive and satisfactory and
the advanced training in camps of instruction during the summer
months has been such as to bring the organizations of the Guard
up to a very good standard of efficiency. The reports of Regular
Army officers on the annual inspection of all units of the Guard
have been satisfactory. These inspections embody a state of
training, records, personnel and the necessary property, as well
as conditions of Federal property to perfect the organization for
combat conditions.
ARMORIES
With funds provided through Works Progress Administration
and Public Works Administration, we have within the State
twenty-two new armories at an average cost of about $45,000.00.
The local communities provided the site for the building and be-came
the sponsor, providing a sponsor's contribution which
ranged in different localities from approximately $8000.00 to
$12,000.00, toward the construction of the building. These
armories are substantial, adequate for training and for storage
and protection of Federal property. The following communities
have assisted in making these new armories possible

THE INAUGURATION OF THE HONORABLE CLYDE R. HOEY
AS GOVERNOR
The Honorable Clyde R. Hoey was inaugurated as Governor of
North Carolina January 7, 1937, and, as has been customary, the
atmosphere of the inauguration of the Governor was rather
formal. The State College Cadet Corps and Band and a number
of units of the National Guard paraded as a part of the cere-monies.
Colonel Graham K. Hobbs was placed in command of all
troops taking part in these ceremonies.
In addition to the Cadet Corps of State College, the Charlotte
High School Band and the Lenoir High School Band made the trip
to Raleigh and participated, and the following National Guard
units took part in the ceremonies
:

local committee appointed by the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce
designated the Adjutant General to provide the military feature
and to take charge of the arrangements for the luncheon at the
Governor's Mansion for the Governor, his family, friends and
officials and for the Inaugural reception that evening. The
Chamber of Commerce Committee had in charge the securing and
decorating, and other expenses incident to the auditorium, at
which the ceremonies were held. The total cost of the Inaugu-ration
amounted to $964.64. Of this amount $667.23 was ex-
Report of The Adjutant General 9
pended directly by the Adjutant General and which amount
included luncheon for the visiting organizations taking part in
the ceremonies. This luncheon was provided by the Service
Company, 120th Infantry, station Raleigh, N. C., at their armory,
with approximately a thousand men provided for at a total cost
of $236.69.
CONCLUSION
Though there is always room for improvement, it can be said
that the organizations of the North Carolina National Guard have
been brought up to a high state of efficiency. The Regular Army
Officers and Sergeants on duty as Instructors have been constant
and untiring, energetic and persistent, in their efforts to assist in
this training and have the commendation of the Adjutant General
for these services. The entire office force of the Adjutant Gen-eral's
Department has worked diligently and faithfully in the
performance of all duties.
REPORT OF SPECIAL DUTY
1 May, 1936.
Subject: Special Duty Performed under Special Orders No. Ill and No.
116 AGO-Duty performed April 2, 3, and 4, 1936.
To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, North Carolina.
In connection with special duty during the tornado emergency in Greens-boro,
North Carolina, on April 2, 3 and 4, 1936, the following report is
submitted. This duty was performed under verbal orders by telephone
and special order No. Ill dated April 2, 1936 and special order No. 116,
dated April 4, 1936.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES.
On April 2, 1936 at about 7:15 P. M. a tornado struck the City of
Greensboro and devastated an area about two miles long and about two
blocks wide, in which catastrophe thirteen lives were lost, one hundred
and fifty-five people injured and approximately five hundred families ren-dered
homeless, with a total result in property damage of about two
million dollars.
At the request of the Mayor of Greensboro and the Chief of Police, this
officer called the Adjutant General's Department by telephone and was
authorized to assemble the entire 2nd Battalion, 252d C.A., plus the
Medical Detachment of the 252 C.A. These units were assembled as
quickly as possible, but due to the fact that the storm had badly wrecked
telephones and had made it necessary to cut off all lights in town, there-by
eliminating the radio broadcasting station, complete mobilization was
not attained until the next morning, although a large percentage of the
troops were located and put on duty.
It is difficult to define special duties during an emergency of this kind,
but at one time or another our personnel was engaged in directing traffic,
using city equipment for extinguishing fire, and generally patrolling the
devastated area to prevent looting. There are, of course, many other
duties in a situation of this kind; such as searching parties to rescue those
injured or killed, and cooperation with other agencies for the protection
of life and property.
After a survey of the devastated area by the Commanding Officer, the
district was divided into three portions and one unit was made responsible
for each of these divisions, and all orders were cleared through the
Battalion Headquarters at Five Points. The medical unit was used at the
hospitals, and in the various areas to give medical assistance, and later
to direct traffic.
MILITARY PERSONNEL.
The military personnel on duty consisted of the following:
Major Ralph L. Lewis, 252 CA (TD), Comdg.
Staff Officers
1st Lieutenant John E. Ford
1st Lieutenant Wm. Lybrook
Report of The Adjutant General 11
Hq. Btry. and CTn. 2d Bn. 252 C.A.

Total on duty 4 officers and 49 enlisted men.
Btry. D 252 CA
Captain E. L. Faulconer, Comdg.

Medical Detachment, 252 CA
Captain Norman A. Fox, Comdg.
Total on duty one officer and 20 men.
Total on Duty—14 Officers and 150 enlisted men.
MESSING OF TROOPS.
Due to the comparatively short duration of duty it was considered un-wise
to set up our own mess, and the troops were consequently fed at a
local cafe for a total cost of $106.50. Many of our men preferred eating
at home and where their homes were nearby this was permitted.
COMMENDATIONS.
Many letters have been received from various sources commending our
troops on their quick organization and assumption of duties after the
disaster, as well as their very excellent performance of duty in such a time
of need. Many of our officers and men went for twenty-four hours or
more without sleep due to the emergency, and as positive evidence of the
effectiveness of the patrols there was practically no stealing or looting
reported. Typical examples of letters received and which are in our files
are attached hereto:
Mayor and City Council, City of Greensboro.
Mr. Andrew Joyner, Jr., City Manager.
L. Richardson Memorial Hospital.
J. D. Wilkins, Chairman, American Red Cross.
FINAL.
A duty of this kind which deals directly with an excited public and for
which military training has no particular purpose is a difficult one to
perform and those in charge must rely greatly on the common sense and
ability of the enlisted men, and more particularly of the non-commissioned
officers, since the area involved is so large that it is impossible to at all
times have control of the area from a central point. However, there is
no question in the mind of this officer but that the presence of the troops
prevented a great deal of looting and that their skill in assisting with the
control of traffic was most valuable. The new automotive equipment re-cently
assigned these units proved almost indispensible, and all in all the
National Guard units on duty proved convincingly the value of peace time
protection in emergency.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
Newport, Tenn., March 4, 19 37 '
Hon. J. Van B. Metts
Adjutant General
State of North Carolina
Raleigh, North Carolina
My dear Sir:
On behalf the Cocke County Chapter of the American Red Cross, we
wish to express our gratitude to you for having chosen Lieutenant Carl O.
Shytle and Corporal John E. Cutshall and sent them to us to aid us in our
refugee work.
During the latter part of January and the first part of February when
we were working day and night in order to set up our camp, we were
astounded to learn that all Tennessee army men were already on flood
duty. If North Carolina had not come to our rescue, I do not know what
we would have done because it is due largely to the managerial ability of
Lieutenant Shytle that we attribute the success of our refugee camp. He
and his assistant, Corporal Cutshall, are gentlemen of the highest type
and their influence on the refugees was indeed wholesome.
By his gentle and convincing manner of giving instructions, the lieu-tenant
won the love and respect of everyone in camp on the first day he
gave the refugees one of his "table talks". At no time did we have any
friction of any kind and the refugees always felt free to take their
troubles to the lieutenant and corporal for solution. These two men were
truly "brothers" to these refugees, and from the beginning of the camp
to the end, their interest in these colored people never waned. And too,
by wise management of Lieutenant Shytle, our camp was run in a very
economical manner,—it took less money than we at first thought.
It was certainly a pleasure for us as a Red Cross Chapter to work with
such fine men and we feel that if we had had the pick of men in the
United States, we could not have done better. Their duties here terminate
today and they are leaving Newport for Asheville at 11:20 a.m.
Again we thank you for the services of these splendid men and we
trust that Tennessee may someday, even in a small way, reciprocate and
thus strengthen the friendship of North Carolina and Tennessee as you
have so recently done for us.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) I. S. Nease, Chairman.

Report of The Adjutant General 13
August 31, 1937
Subject: Report of Special Duty Performed by Battery "E"—2 5 2d CA
(TD) at High Point, N. C.
To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, North Carolina.
1. A little after four o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, August 30,
1937, at High Point, N. C. an accident occurred in connection with work
being done relative to the lowering of the Southern Railroad tracks which
run through the center of the city.
The accident consisted in the roof of a tunnel located on Willowbrook
Street, caving in, entombing three negro laborers. This tunnel had been
dug out to a length of about 150 feet, and at the point of cave in, was
approximately 3 2 feet below the surface of the street.
2. Rescue work began immediately, but due to the tedious method of
the removal of dirt, together with the large amount of water collected
within the tunnel, the progress to the entombed men was very slow. The
frequent occurrence of new slides necessitated great precaution to protect
the rescue workers in the hazardous undertaking.
3. The first of the entombed men was brought to the surface at about
6:30 P. M. Artificial respiration was administered for almost an hour
before the man was pronounced dead. By this time the crowd watching
the rescue work had grown so large that the combined efforts of the Police
and Fire Departments were not capable of holding the watchers back far
enough to permit the work to progress as quickly as possible. The crowd
was not unruly, but their curiosity was greater than their sense of judg-ment.
4. At 7:15 P. M., William G. Friddle, Chief of Police of the City of
High Point, sent a Police Sergeant to the Armory with the request that if
it was possible to do so, he would like to have the assistance of the
National Guard to help hold the crowd away from the workers. It was
also known at this time that one of the entombed men was alive, and they
realized that unless the crowd could be held away from the workers, he
might die before he could be brought out.
The Chief of Police's request was immediately relayed to the Adjutant
General by telephone by the writer. As the Governor of North Carolina
had to be consulted before an answer to the request could be given, a
slight delay resulted.
It being our regular drill night and the exact time of our assembly, it
was not necessary to mobilize the troops. The whole Battery was held
in readiness awaiting a reply from the Adjutant General.
5. At 7:40 P. M. word was received by telephone from the Adjutant
General that the request of Chief Friddle had been granted and to use
what men necessary to properly handle the situation.
The writer immediately went to the scene of the disaster, and held a
consultation with the Chief of Police and found that the area he wished
patroled consisted of both sidewalks on Willowbrook Street, from High
Street to Willowbrook Street, a distance of one city block. It was deemed
advisable to use the whole Battery to properly carry out the objective.
The Battery was driven in their own trucks to the scene of the accident,
arriving at 7:55 P. M. and immediately took position.
14 Report of The Adjutant General
6. The second victim of the accident was brought to the surface at
8:35 P. M. He was alive, and was immediately placed in an ambulance
and taken to the hospital. The crowd was orderly, but for a space of
about twenty minutes was hard to hold in place.
The last victim of the accident was brought to the surface at 9:25 P. M.
and after approximately one hour of artificial respiration, was pronounced
dead. During this time the crowd was again hard to hold in check.
Except for hysterical actions of some immediate relatives of the victims,
no disorders occurred.
7. By 10:30 P. M. after the last victim had been pronounced dead and
removed, the crowd quickly dispersed, and the Battery was returned to
the Armory. Dismissal of the organization was made at 11 P. M.
8. In summarizing the situation, this organization did not participate
in any rescue activities, confining its function to holding the crowd in
check. This was done in an effective manner, and to the best of the
writer's knowledge, not a single offensive or uncomplimentary remark was
made by any person within the crowd. Many complimentary remarks
on the service rendered were given by the Police and Fire officials.
Considering the size of the crowd, and the participation in the rescue
work by the Police and Fire Department members, as well as their en-deavors
in trying to keep the crowds back, it is an acknowledged fact that
without the assistance rendered by this National Guard Unit, proper order
could not have been maintained.
The total expenditures made by this organization consisted of approxi-mately
ten gallons of gasoline.
No injuries were suffered by any member of this organization.
Respectfully submitted,
Samuel E. Holt,
Capt. 252d CA (TD) Commanding.

ACTIVITIES
The office has operated and functioned in accordance with Federal and
State laws during the period covered by this report.
FEDERAL PROPERTY
The state of equipment continues to be excellent and in most cases
adequate. There is an urgent need for more funds for clothing and the
allowance of $6.00 or $7.00 per annum per man is not sufficient and under
this Project (51) at least $10.00 per man should be allowed. The federal
government has furnished needed supplies and equipment on requisition
and has approved reports of survey covering unserviceable and obsolete
equipment. Obsolete motor vehicles have been surveyed and modern up
to date vehicles issued in lieu thereof.
At the present time the following motor vehicles are on hand in a
serviceable condition:
42 2V2 ton trucks (F.A. &C.A.)
12 iy2 ton trucks (252nd C.A.)

16 Report of The Adjutant General
The work of the office from a financial and property standpoint has
greatly increased on account of additional requirements in accounting for
