Sir:—Herein is submitted a report of the operations of the Adjutant General's Department and of the affairs of the North Carolina National Guard, covering the period, January 1, 1931, to December 31, 1932, or two years. THE NATIONAL GUARD The National Guard of the several States of the Union, repre-senting 188,000 officers and men, the second component of the Army of the United States, is organized under the Acts of Con-gress and pursuant to the Military Laws of the State. The Federal Government, through the War Department, provides full equipment, including Artillery field guns, horses for Cavalry and quartermaster and other equipment; provides mechanics and caretakers for heavy equipment and care of animals ; requires a 15 day period of field training annually and provides funds for transportation, subsistence and service pay for officers and men, attending such camps. NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD The Guard of this State is organized along lines of organiza-tion of the Regular Army as directed by the War Department, and as provided in our Military Laws. The strength as of December 1, 1932, was as follows: 23 128 4 Report of the Adjutant General Officers Enlisted Men Field Artillery Regiment 61 674 Engineer Regiment 17 273 Coast Artillery Regiment r 61 629 Infantry Regiment 65 1,057 Cavalry Squadron 14 201 Medical Regiment 21 185 State Staff State Q.

The Federal Government expends annually between $400,000 and $500,000 on the Guard of North Carolina, which money is distributed throughout the State. The Annual Armory and Field Inspections, show the Guard to be properly and well organized and efficient in its discipline and training. The Guard is officered by high class men and the ranks are composed of fine and substantial young citizens. STATE APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES The State appropriation to the National Guard has not in the past two years been sufficient to carry on the work as properly should be, though every available cut and reduction possible has been made. Certain activities and expenditures have been elim-inated, though the Department has been able to function in the interest of the National Guard. It is necessary that the State provide adequate armories and storage facilities for the Units of the Guard; The Adjutant General's Department, for administrative duties ; examination of recruits; State camp site. The State laws provide an allotment to certain officers, having administrative duties in connection with their respective commands and payment of not exceeding 50c per drill for 48 drills within the year to enlisted men. The allowance to organizations for armory rental has, during this year, been reduced from twenty to thirty percent by this Department. The allotments to officers, as provided by law, to Report of the Adjutant General 5 certain officers, viz: Colonels, Majors, Adjutants and Command-ing Officers of Units and their Lieutenants—has necessarily been eliminated, because of lack of funds. Likewise, instead of paying enlisted men 50c per drill, we have been able only to pay 25c per drill for two quarters of the full year, which means 25c per drill for 24 drills of the 48. There has been eliminated payment provided for Supply Sergeants, who under supervision of the Unit Commander, the responsible officer, looks after many thou-sand of dollars worth of Federal property in possession of the Unit and for which, in the end, the State is accountable to the Federal Government. The same applies to Stable Sergeants and Horse Shoers with our three troops of Cavalry. It is believed essential, in the interest of an efficient organiza-tion with competent and efficient officers, that these expenditures be restored. THE OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL In so far as expenses and administration of the affairs of the Guard are concerned the office has been run on business princi-ples, conserving money always, securing from employees a full day's work. There is no surplus of employees. Those of the Department are all efficient, conscientious and loyal to their work. Salaries paid over the past several years to office workers have gradually been voluntarily reduced from 1927-1928 $18,- 343.63 to 1930-1931 $15,814.67. In 1931-1932 the 107c reduc-tion was ordered by the Budget and then a general reorganiza-tion and further reduction in salaries made, through which total salaries of office employees was $13,610.60. In the present year 1932-1933, voluntarily I arranged a reduction, saving the State annually another $780.00. In the expense of the administration of the office, items pertaining to its general activities, have all been reduced to what I believe a minimum. THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT The purpose of the Adjutant General's Department of North Carolina, similar to all other States of the Union, is the organi-zation, administration and training of the National Guard as provided in the National Defense Act passed by Congress. It is the duty of the Department under the direction of the Adju-tant General to properly organize, equip and provide for the training of all organizations of the Guard. In times of peace, from the State standpoint a military organization is maintained 6 Report of the Adjutant General for such use of it as may be called for by the Governor in case of insurrection, riots and maintenance of law and order when the civil authorities are unable to cope with the situation, and that the State may maintain its part of the Army of the United States as provided for by Congress, looking to a National emer-gency. This Department is necessary not alone to maintain the Guard for State purposes, but the Adjutant General is the Governor's and Commander-in-Chief's military head through which all matters of organization, training and administration of the Guard as required in regulations by the War Department, based upon the National Defense Act and on account of the Federal property issued, its care and the moneys expended on the Guard, are concerned. Within the functions of the Depart-ment are the handling of Federal funds and property placed in the hands of the organizations for v/hich the State is responsible #to the Federal Government; issuance of proper military orders pertaining to commissioning officers, calling officers before ex-amining board, special duty of troops within the State, keeping proper records of officers and enlisted personnel and discharges ; keeping up with National Guard, Regular Army and Training Regulations issued by the War Department; organization of units, checking payrolls of organizations for Federal Army drill pay; provide the War Department with efficiency reports on officers and physical examinations of officers and men; causing to be made periodical physical checks of the Federal property in the hands of each organization ; keeping the record in this office of all Federal property issued upon requisition of the Governor through this Department, including everything from hat cords and shoe laces to animals and heavy field guns and spare parts; handling matters pertaining to the Budget includ-ing the issuance of all checks issued on funds allotted as pro-vided in the appropriation. The Adjutant General's Department is the one through which all matters pertaining to the Guard are handled with the State. SERVICE SCHOOLS—REGULAR ARMY Under authority of the War Department opportunity is given to send a number of National Guard officers and enlisted men to the Service Schools. The following have been given this detail during the past two years: Report of the Adjutant General 7 1931 Sergeant Robt. E. Bard Cavalry School Staff Sergeant Jos. C.

MILITARY ACADEMY The Governor is authorized to recommend one National Guardsman, selected through a competitive examination, held at the Adjutant General's Office, each year to take a competitive examination with those recommended by other States, and as directed by the War Department, for entrance to the U. S. Mili-tary Academy at West Point. Each year a recommendation has been submitted. NATIONAL MATCHES, CAMP PERRY, OHIO Due to lack of funds the Federal Government did not hold the usual National Matches as has been customary annually. AID TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES October 24, 1931, Battery D, 252nd Coast Artillery, station Greensboro, N. C., was ordered to report to the Sheriff of the County for duty in connection with the trial in Superior Court at Greensboro of one Asbury Respus alias Will Moore. Major Ralph L. Lewis, 252nd Coast Artillery, was ordered to take full command of the situation. June 19, 1932, Battery E, 113th Field Artillery, station San-ford, N. C, was ordered to report to and assist the Sheriff of 8 Report of the Adjutant General Lee County for duty in the protection of such prisoners as may be apprehended in connection with the killing of a store-keeper at or near Cummock, N. C. The Adjutant General was directed by the Governor on July 17, 1932, to confer with and assist the civil authorities of High Point in properly organizing the civil forces to preserve law and order and to protect property due to the Textile strike then existing. INSTRUCTORS AND SERGEANT INSTRUCTORS The Regular Army Officers detailed by the War Department to this State as Instructors are of the highest type of men, effi-cient and thoroughly interested in the development of the National Guard and are accomplishing splendid results. The same may be said of the Sergeants who assist the Officers in the training of the troops. The Instructors duties are mainly those of instruction and assistance to all in training. They work in conjunction with The Adjutant General in all matters pertaining to their work. The close affiliation and cooperation as well as the personal contact with the officers and sergeants now on duty as Instructors with this Department has been and is most happy and pleasant. CONCLUSION A very fine spirit has been displayed by officers and men in maintaining the efficiency of the Guard in spite of the loss of State pay and reduction of funds made by the Federal Govern-ment, all entailing personal expense and many worries and diffi-culties. All deserve the commendation of the General Assembly and the citizenship of the State. Due to insufficient funds a more complete report, embodying report of the Auditor, the United States Property and Disburs-ing Officer, Roster, etc., can not be included. Respectfully, J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. REPORT OF SPECIAL DUTY 31 October, 1931. Subject: Special Duty under Special Orders No. 278 and 279 AGO—Duty performed October 28-29, 1931. To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, N. C. 1. As Commanding Officer of troops engaged in special duty under Special Orders 27S and 279 AGO, this officer presents the following de-tailed report of activities and duties performed on October 28 and October 29, 1931 at Greensboro, N. C, in connection with the trial of one Asbury Respus alias Will Moore. GENERAL STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. Due to the dastardly nature of the crime the citizens of Sumner Town-ship, Guilford County, were greatly aroused against the person of Respus, and were somewhat disposed to criticise the officials, who on Sept. 30, 1931, the date of the confessed crime had removed the negro to Raleigh, N. C. for safe-keeping. Repeated rumors had reached the sheriff and solicitor of Guilford County that an organization was being perfected by which the law would be prevented from taking its course and the desires of a mob carried out. On the night of Sept. 30, 1931, the day of the crime, a mob of about one thousand had visited the jail, but were prevented from carrying out their threat due to the fact that the negro had been taken away by the sheriff. In compliance with telephone request from the solicitor the governor of N. C. instructed that troops be ordered out to assist the civil authorities on the day of the trial, and the Adjutant General of North Carolina issued orders to Btry. D, 252 CA(TD), Greensboro, N. C. to mobilize on Oct. 28, 1931 and to appear for duty on the following day at the trial. This battery is commanded by Capt. E. L. Faulconer, and Major R. L. Lewis was also ordered out for active duty in command of the troops. At a conference held at the court house on Wednesday evening, Oct. 28, Judge Thomas J. Shaw called a meeting which was attended by the judge, Solicitor George Younce, Sheriff D. B. Stafford, Clerk of Court A. Wayland Cook, Chief of Police Mike Caffey. and Mr. R. R. King, Sr., prominent local attorney. All details of properly protecting the prisoner were worked out and the presiding judge requested that soldiers take care of the crowd outside of the court room rather than inside due to the effect that the military might have on the jury—a special venire of which had been summoned from Forsythe County. The sheriff decided to keep charge of the prisoner while in the court room and to turn him over to the troops while court was in recess. In other words it was thought best to keep the troops in reserve and to further not assume a threatening attitude toward the crowd until necessary. It was thought by all that it was probable that no trouble would occur but rumors had been coming in so fast that all 10 Report of the Adjutant General precautions were taken to assure a trial and prevent any action that might be attemped by an organized mob. Btry. D was assembled on Oct. 28, 1931, at the armory, with sixty-three men out of the possible sixty five present. All officers were present with the exception of 1st. Lieut. Bloxton who is on duty at the school at Fort Monroe, Va. The entire command spent the night at the armory. At 4:00 A.M., Oct. 29, 1931, Major Lewis, Capt. Faulconer and twenty enlisted men, together with the sheriff and two deputies with a convoy of six private automobiles left for Winston-Salem to bring Respus to Greens-boro. It was a hard and difficult trip due to the fact that it rained heavily but there were no accidents and the party arrived in Greensboro at 6:00 A.M. being met at the Court House by the rest of Btry. D. The prisoner was put in jail and a heavily armed guard was maintained in the jail, and in and about the court house, the jail being on the fourth (top) floor of the court house. The trial started at 9:30 P.M., Oct. 29, 1931 and by eight-thirty all available seats and standing room in the court room was taken, and the crowd became so unruly that soldiers had to be placed at all entrances to maintain order so that the court could proceed. The crowd was so large and had accumulated so quickly that it was necessary to employ our entire force to control them and keep them from damaging the court house. During the morning, lanes were formed by soldiers and a continuous stream of people allowed to pass the glass doors to the courtroom to see the prisoner. After the noon recess it was decided to bar all from the second floor of the court-house that could not get in the court room and a heavy detachment handled this phase. Court ended at about ten o'clock at night and the prisoner was escorted to waiting cars by the entire Btry. less a few men left on the second floor at the entrance to the court room. The judge ordered all to remain in their seats until dismissed in order that too large a crowd should not be on the outside when the prisoner was brought through. The troops were invaluable at this point. The sheriff, three deputies, two policemen, and two members of Btry. D, took the prisoner to Raleigh by a roundabout road, arriving back in Greensboro at 4:00 A.M., October 30. It was first considered best to take him by bus with a large detachment but the sheriff later decided to take the quieter way and thus save some expense, his judgment being good, since the prisoner was safely delivered in the State Prison at 2:15 A.M. Btry. D. was marched to the armory and dismissed at about eleven o'clock, there being no further need for them. MILITARY PERSONNEL. The military personnel on duty consisted of the following: Major Ralph L. Lewis, 252 CA(TD), Comdg. Btry. D, 252 CA(TD) Capt. E. L. Faulconer, Comdg. 2nd Lieut. W. E. Price. 2nd Lieut. E. A. Thompson. Sixty-three enlisted men (Total on roll 65). Total on Duty—4 officers and 63 men. Report of the Adjutant General 11 messing of troops All troops were messed at Cleggs Coffee Shop at a price of 33% cents per meal and the meals were excellently prepared and served. Due to the short duration of the duty it was considered unwise to arrange our own mess, and facilities for cooking at the armory are not of the best. INTELLIGENCE SECTION. Three men were instructed to remain in civilian clothes and to circulate in the crowd at the court house keeping always on the alert for news of impending trouble. During the trial this number was supplemented by about six others, not members of the National Guard. These nine men did excellent work and throughout both days of the duty, continually brought news of meetings, plans etc. most of the information being cor-rect, or at least gave us an idea as to what the most radical were thinking. On one occasion advance news from this section enabled us to rearrange our guard to prevent a possible stampede by disgruntled persons not able to gain admittance in the court house. They also brought news of a mass meeting in Sumner Township at which it was decided that the law would be left to take its course provided the negro was found guilty and sen-tenced, but that if a verdict of insane was rendered they had pledged themselves to try and take him from the sheriff. They rendered many helpful reports and this system of intelligence is highly recommended for this kind of duty. PRECAUTIONS AND PLAN OF DEFENSE. Due to the fact that it was the desire of the judge that all citizens be admitted to the court house no measures were taken to prevent persons from entering the court house until, they became so noisy, which was due mainly to the enormous crowd, that they bothered the workings of the court. Even then the court room was filled and others were admitted to the first floor (the courtroom being on the second). All rifles were loaded, the bolt being allowed to slip over the top cartridge, and the pieces locked. All men were ordered not to release the safety, to open the bolt, or to fire without specific command from a commissioned officer. A supply of tear gas bombs were kept on hand at all times with a special detail versed in the proper method of operation. While court was in recess a heavy guard was placed in the jail with the prisoner and no one allowed access to the fourth floor. Plans were made in case of emergency in the court room to take the prisoner out a back door and up a secret stairs to the jail. A squad of men were on hand at all times to handle the prisoner and all men in-structed to make their way to the third floor at a given signal. This floor not only protected the jail but offered an excellent place for defence where our men could be assembled and away from the crowd with only a small stairs leading to it. All officers and men wore steel helmets and the men fixed bayonets before entering the court house. In case the convoy was stopped on the road, the first car was instructed to pull to the extreme right of the road and the successive cars to come abreast, forming a barricade, and thus enabling the car with the prisoner to retrace its march and avoid the crowd. 12 Report of the Adjutant General miscellaneous incidents. The only damage reported was one broken glass door to the court room caused by crowding in an attempt by spectators to gain admittance just as the trial started. The troops took charge of the crowd after this happening. Two men were reported to have been seen with pistols just as the prisoner was being escorted from the court house. No arrests were made by the troops but quick flashing bayonets from the high port position, not only opened a passage through the crowd, but discouraged all hope of taking the prisoner from the soldiers. In the morning, while pushing the crowd back with rifles, someone tried to take a rifle from a guard. His start was good but the soldier soon retrieved his piece, not only handling himself well, but using extremely good headwork in not unduly exciting the crowd. COMMENDATION. The comdg. officer wishes to commend Capt. E. L. Faulconer, his two assisting officers, and his entire battery of enlisted men for their most excellent services. All conducted themselves, under most trying con-ditions, in a most commendable manner, were cool when the crowd was hardest to handle, and followed instructions to the smallest detail. The officers and men presented a fine appearance, all being properly policed and with their Melton uniforms properly pressed and fitted, the men looked most business like and efficient. This officer feels that they were a distinct credit to the already high standing of the military of this state. The daily papers were most liberal in their comments on the appearance and conduct of our officers and men, and letters are attached from the following officials of the court regarding the duty performed: The presiding Judge _ Thomas J. Shaw. The Sheriff of Guilford County ... D. B. Stafford. FINAL. It is thought by this officer, that while no actual trouble occurred, that the presence of the troops was entirely justified. The fact that there was no major trouble, that it was not necessary, to make a single arrest, that the court was allowed to proceed in an orderly way, and that the good State of North Carolina and the County of Guilford saved a blot from its name is evidence enough of the value of the precaution taken. The crowd of citizenry is also to be commended on their good behavior and coopera-tion with the authorities. The largest crowd attending court in the history of Guilford attended and it is thought to be the first time that troops have been called for an occasion of this nature in the county. The results accomplished and the duty performed confirms the old adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Ralph L. Lewis, Major, CA (TD), Commanding. Report of the Adjutant General 13 HEADQUARTERS BATTERY "E", 113th F. A. Sanford, N. C, June 22nd, 1932. To: The Adjutant General, N. C. N. G. Subject: Report of Active Duty. 1. Pursuant to verbal order by a long distance telephone, 10:45 P.M., June 19th, 1932, and confirmed by S. O. No. 159 AGO, N.C.N.G., June 19th, 193 2, this organization proceeded immediately with mobilization and after assembling the organization, properly equipping the men and carefully in-structing them in their duties, the organization was conveyed at 3:00 A.M., June 20th, 1932 to Saint Andrews Church situate on a County highway leading from Swan Station, N. C. to Lemon Springs, N. C, and about seven miles in a southeasterly direction from the town of Sanford. 2. Permanent headquarters were established at this point where the organization remained until it was ordered away. 3. The undersigned officer reported immediately in person to A. R. Rives, Sheriff of Lee County, for duty in the protection of two fugitives believed to be at large in that immediate section, should they be appre-hended by the civil authorities. The fugitives were accused of killing two men in a store at Cummock, N. C. 4. To accomplish the mission upon which this organization was sent two thirds of the Battery was immediately stationed as a guard around the area in which the fugitives were believed to be concealed. The object of this was to have some member of the organization at or near the taking of the fugitives so that the organization Commander might be immediately notified and the men assembled quickly at the scene of action. Supple-menting this guard telephone communication was established from the base for a half mile down two roads which comprised two boundaries of the area in question. 5. The area is swampy and densely wooded, and the civilian guards were insufficient in that they would not remain where posted, and, as a consequence, the fugitives escaped from the area and are as yet at large. 6. Pursuant to orders, the organization left its established base and was dismissed and discharged from active duty at 4:37 P.M., June 22nd, 1932. The enlisted personnel of this organization should be commended for the fine spirit they showed throughout the tour of duty. Three com-missioned officers and fifty-eight enlisted men were present for duty. 7. The local situation is very quiet at this time, and in the opinion of myself and civil authorities, there is practically no danger of any violence when the fugitives are apprehended. Dan B. King, Capt. Commanding Battery "E", 118th F. A. REPORT OF U. S. PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER 1931 State of North Carolina Office of U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer Raleigh June 31, 1931.

ACTIVITIES The undersigned has performed the duties prescribed by laws and regula-tions covered by this report. FEDERAL PROPERTY The National Guard of the State is well equipped and deficiencies in this respect are negligible. The State has been particularly fortunate in being able to obtain from the War Department adequate and suitable indi-vidual and organizational equipment at all times. Responsible officers are taking care of their equipment in a highly com-mendable manner and it is being properly safeguarded. FEDERAL FUNDS The Federal government has continued its policy in providing adequate funds for the support of the National Guard. Such support has made it possible for the National Guard to reach the present high state of efficiency. Federal funds disbursed by this office from November 1, 1930 to June 30, 1931 are shown below: Receipts Balance on hand October 31, 1930 _._._. $18,874.27 War Warrants 30,174.10 $49,048.37 Disbursements Expenses Camps of Instruction $ 775.99 Compensation, Caretakers & Mechanics 27,925.00 U.

ACTIVITIES The undersigned has performed the duties of the office as prescribed by Federal and State laws and regulations. FEDERAL PROPERTY The National Guard is in a splendid state of equipment and the complete-ness of equipment in the various organizations has been the subject of much favorable comment by higher authority. Organization commanders have been particularly attentive to the equipment of their commands and sub-mitting the necessary requisitions. Similarly, they have been prompt in disposing of unserviceable property as prescribed in existing regulations. This office has given special attention to old shortages of former organiza-tion commanders and considerable progress has been made in removing them. FEDERAL. FUNDS During the period covered by this report, the fiscal year 1932, the under-signed disbursed approximately $200,000.00. Total federal funds contributed by the federal government for this year aggregated about $600,000.00 divided as follows: Camps of Instruction $200,000.00 Armory Drill Pay __ 200,000.00 Arms, uniforms, equipment, and miscellaneous.— 200,000.00 Actual disbursements and receipts for July 1, 1931 to June 30, 1932 were as follows: „ Receipts War Warrants _. $202,368.01 $202,368.01 Disbursements Expenses, Camps of Instruction $127,942.21 Compensation Caretakers and Mechanics.. 44,797.24 U.

The property accounts are audited once each year by the Finance Department of the War Department. In each instance, the finance and property accounts were reported as being in excel-lent condition without any adverse report. CONCLUSION The successful operation of the office of the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer is largely contingent upon the cooperation received from responsible officers. This cooperation has been 100 percent and has made it possible for the functions of the office to be discharged in a highly satisfactory manner. The Regular Army Instructors have rendered valuable service and they have always been ready and willing to render all possible assistance. Gordon Smith, Lt. Col. QMC, U. 8. P. and D. 0.. N. C.

Sir:—Herein is submitted a report of the operations of the Adjutant General's Department and of the affairs of the North Carolina National Guard, covering the period, January 1, 1931, to December 31, 1932, or two years. THE NATIONAL GUARD The National Guard of the several States of the Union, repre-senting 188,000 officers and men, the second component of the Army of the United States, is organized under the Acts of Con-gress and pursuant to the Military Laws of the State. The Federal Government, through the War Department, provides full equipment, including Artillery field guns, horses for Cavalry and quartermaster and other equipment; provides mechanics and caretakers for heavy equipment and care of animals ; requires a 15 day period of field training annually and provides funds for transportation, subsistence and service pay for officers and men, attending such camps. NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD The Guard of this State is organized along lines of organiza-tion of the Regular Army as directed by the War Department, and as provided in our Military Laws. The strength as of December 1, 1932, was as follows: 23 128 4 Report of the Adjutant General Officers Enlisted Men Field Artillery Regiment 61 674 Engineer Regiment 17 273 Coast Artillery Regiment r 61 629 Infantry Regiment 65 1,057 Cavalry Squadron 14 201 Medical Regiment 21 185 State Staff State Q. M. Detachment Division and Brigade Staffs, Division Signal Company Headquarters Company Infantry Brigade Total Strength ..„„... 262 3,147 The State provides suitable armories, storage facilities for training and care of Federal and other property; provides a State camp site, the upkeep of which the Federal Government has from time to time provided funds, which has materially reduced the expenditures from State funds. The Federal Government expends annually between $400,000 and $500,000 on the Guard of North Carolina, which money is distributed throughout the State. The Annual Armory and Field Inspections, show the Guard to be properly and well organized and efficient in its discipline and training. The Guard is officered by high class men and the ranks are composed of fine and substantial young citizens. STATE APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES The State appropriation to the National Guard has not in the past two years been sufficient to carry on the work as properly should be, though every available cut and reduction possible has been made. Certain activities and expenditures have been elim-inated, though the Department has been able to function in the interest of the National Guard. It is necessary that the State provide adequate armories and storage facilities for the Units of the Guard; The Adjutant General's Department, for administrative duties ; examination of recruits; State camp site. The State laws provide an allotment to certain officers, having administrative duties in connection with their respective commands and payment of not exceeding 50c per drill for 48 drills within the year to enlisted men. The allowance to organizations for armory rental has, during this year, been reduced from twenty to thirty percent by this Department. The allotments to officers, as provided by law, to Report of the Adjutant General 5 certain officers, viz: Colonels, Majors, Adjutants and Command-ing Officers of Units and their Lieutenants—has necessarily been eliminated, because of lack of funds. Likewise, instead of paying enlisted men 50c per drill, we have been able only to pay 25c per drill for two quarters of the full year, which means 25c per drill for 24 drills of the 48. There has been eliminated payment provided for Supply Sergeants, who under supervision of the Unit Commander, the responsible officer, looks after many thou-sand of dollars worth of Federal property in possession of the Unit and for which, in the end, the State is accountable to the Federal Government. The same applies to Stable Sergeants and Horse Shoers with our three troops of Cavalry. It is believed essential, in the interest of an efficient organiza-tion with competent and efficient officers, that these expenditures be restored. THE OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL In so far as expenses and administration of the affairs of the Guard are concerned the office has been run on business princi-ples, conserving money always, securing from employees a full day's work. There is no surplus of employees. Those of the Department are all efficient, conscientious and loyal to their work. Salaries paid over the past several years to office workers have gradually been voluntarily reduced from 1927-1928 $18,- 343.63 to 1930-1931 $15,814.67. In 1931-1932 the 107c reduc-tion was ordered by the Budget and then a general reorganiza-tion and further reduction in salaries made, through which total salaries of office employees was $13,610.60. In the present year 1932-1933, voluntarily I arranged a reduction, saving the State annually another $780.00. In the expense of the administration of the office, items pertaining to its general activities, have all been reduced to what I believe a minimum. THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT The purpose of the Adjutant General's Department of North Carolina, similar to all other States of the Union, is the organi-zation, administration and training of the National Guard as provided in the National Defense Act passed by Congress. It is the duty of the Department under the direction of the Adju-tant General to properly organize, equip and provide for the training of all organizations of the Guard. In times of peace, from the State standpoint a military organization is maintained 6 Report of the Adjutant General for such use of it as may be called for by the Governor in case of insurrection, riots and maintenance of law and order when the civil authorities are unable to cope with the situation, and that the State may maintain its part of the Army of the United States as provided for by Congress, looking to a National emer-gency. This Department is necessary not alone to maintain the Guard for State purposes, but the Adjutant General is the Governor's and Commander-in-Chief's military head through which all matters of organization, training and administration of the Guard as required in regulations by the War Department, based upon the National Defense Act and on account of the Federal property issued, its care and the moneys expended on the Guard, are concerned. Within the functions of the Depart-ment are the handling of Federal funds and property placed in the hands of the organizations for v/hich the State is responsible #to the Federal Government; issuance of proper military orders pertaining to commissioning officers, calling officers before ex-amining board, special duty of troops within the State, keeping proper records of officers and enlisted personnel and discharges ; keeping up with National Guard, Regular Army and Training Regulations issued by the War Department; organization of units, checking payrolls of organizations for Federal Army drill pay; provide the War Department with efficiency reports on officers and physical examinations of officers and men; causing to be made periodical physical checks of the Federal property in the hands of each organization ; keeping the record in this office of all Federal property issued upon requisition of the Governor through this Department, including everything from hat cords and shoe laces to animals and heavy field guns and spare parts; handling matters pertaining to the Budget includ-ing the issuance of all checks issued on funds allotted as pro-vided in the appropriation. The Adjutant General's Department is the one through which all matters pertaining to the Guard are handled with the State. SERVICE SCHOOLS—REGULAR ARMY Under authority of the War Department opportunity is given to send a number of National Guard officers and enlisted men to the Service Schools.

S. Mili-tary Academy at West Point. Each year a recommendation has been submitted. NATIONAL MATCHES, CAMP PERRY, OHIO Due to lack of funds the Federal Government did not hold the usual National Matches as has been customary annually. AID TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES October 24, 1931, Battery D, 252nd Coast Artillery, station Greensboro, N. C., was ordered to report to the Sheriff of the County for duty in connection with the trial in Superior Court at Greensboro of one Asbury Respus alias Will Moore. Major Ralph L. Lewis, 252nd Coast Artillery, was ordered to take full command of the situation. June 19, 1932, Battery E, 113th Field Artillery, station San-ford, N. C, was ordered to report to and assist the Sheriff of 8 Report of the Adjutant General Lee County for duty in the protection of such prisoners as may be apprehended in connection with the killing of a store-keeper at or near Cummock, N. C. The Adjutant General was directed by the Governor on July 17, 1932, to confer with and assist the civil authorities of High Point in properly organizing the civil forces to preserve law and order and to protect property due to the Textile strike then existing. INSTRUCTORS AND SERGEANT INSTRUCTORS The Regular Army Officers detailed by the War Department to this State as Instructors are of the highest type of men, effi-cient and thoroughly interested in the development of the National Guard and are accomplishing splendid results. The same may be said of the Sergeants who assist the Officers in the training of the troops. The Instructors duties are mainly those of instruction and assistance to all in training. They work in conjunction with The Adjutant General in all matters pertaining to their work. The close affiliation and cooperation as well as the personal contact with the officers and sergeants now on duty as Instructors with this Department has been and is most happy and pleasant. CONCLUSION A very fine spirit has been displayed by officers and men in maintaining the efficiency of the Guard in spite of the loss of State pay and reduction of funds made by the Federal Govern-ment, all entailing personal expense and many worries and diffi-culties. All deserve the commendation of the General Assembly and the citizenship of the State. Due to insufficient funds a more complete report, embodying report of the Auditor, the United States Property and Disburs-ing Officer, Roster, etc., can not be included. Respectfully, J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. REPORT OF SPECIAL DUTY 31 October, 1931. Subject: Special Duty under Special Orders No. 278 and 279 AGO—Duty performed October 28-29, 1931. To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, N. C. 1. As Commanding Officer of troops engaged in special duty under Special Orders 27S and 279 AGO, this officer presents the following de-tailed report of activities and duties performed on October 28 and October 29, 1931 at Greensboro, N. C, in connection with the trial of one Asbury Respus alias Will Moore. GENERAL STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. Due to the dastardly nature of the crime the citizens of Sumner Town-ship, Guilford County, were greatly aroused against the person of Respus, and were somewhat disposed to criticise the officials, who on Sept. 30, 1931, the date of the confessed crime had removed the negro to Raleigh, N. C. for safe-keeping. Repeated rumors had reached the sheriff and solicitor of Guilford County that an organization was being perfected by which the law would be prevented from taking its course and the desires of a mob carried out. On the night of Sept. 30, 1931, the day of the crime, a mob of about one thousand had visited the jail, but were prevented from carrying out their threat due to the fact that the negro had been taken away by the sheriff. In compliance with telephone request from the solicitor the governor of N. C. instructed that troops be ordered out to assist the civil authorities on the day of the trial, and the Adjutant General of North Carolina issued orders to Btry. D, 252 CA(TD), Greensboro, N. C. to mobilize on Oct. 28, 1931 and to appear for duty on the following day at the trial. This battery is commanded by Capt. E. L. Faulconer, and Major R. L. Lewis was also ordered out for active duty in command of the troops. At a conference held at the court house on Wednesday evening, Oct. 28, Judge Thomas J. Shaw called a meeting which was attended by the judge, Solicitor George Younce, Sheriff D. B. Stafford, Clerk of Court A. Wayland Cook, Chief of Police Mike Caffey. and Mr. R. R. King, Sr., prominent local attorney. All details of properly protecting the prisoner were worked out and the presiding judge requested that soldiers take care of the crowd outside of the court room rather than inside due to the effect that the military might have on the jury—a special venire of which had been summoned from Forsythe County. The sheriff decided to keep charge of the prisoner while in the court room and to turn him over to the troops while court was in recess. In other words it was thought best to keep the troops in reserve and to further not assume a threatening attitude toward the crowd until necessary. It was thought by all that it was probable that no trouble would occur but rumors had been coming in so fast that all 10 Report of the Adjutant General precautions were taken to assure a trial and prevent any action that might be attemped by an organized mob. Btry. D was assembled on Oct. 28, 1931, at the armory, with sixty-three men out of the possible sixty five present. All officers were present with the exception of 1st. Lieut. Bloxton who is on duty at the school at Fort Monroe, Va. The entire command spent the night at the armory. At 4:00 A.M., Oct. 29, 1931, Major Lewis, Capt. Faulconer and twenty enlisted men, together with the sheriff and two deputies with a convoy of six private automobiles left for Winston-Salem to bring Respus to Greens-boro. It was a hard and difficult trip due to the fact that it rained heavily but there were no accidents and the party arrived in Greensboro at 6:00 A.M. being met at the Court House by the rest of Btry. D. The prisoner was put in jail and a heavily armed guard was maintained in the jail, and in and about the court house, the jail being on the fourth (top) floor of the court house. The trial started at 9:30 P.M., Oct. 29, 1931 and by eight-thirty all available seats and standing room in the court room was taken, and the crowd became so unruly that soldiers had to be placed at all entrances to maintain order so that the court could proceed. The crowd was so large and had accumulated so quickly that it was necessary to employ our entire force to control them and keep them from damaging the court house. During the morning, lanes were formed by soldiers and a continuous stream of people allowed to pass the glass doors to the courtroom to see the prisoner. After the noon recess it was decided to bar all from the second floor of the court-house that could not get in the court room and a heavy detachment handled this phase. Court ended at about ten o'clock at night and the prisoner was escorted to waiting cars by the entire Btry. less a few men left on the second floor at the entrance to the court room. The judge ordered all to remain in their seats until dismissed in order that too large a crowd should not be on the outside when the prisoner was brought through. The troops were invaluable at this point. The sheriff, three deputies, two policemen, and two members of Btry. D, took the prisoner to Raleigh by a roundabout road, arriving back in Greensboro at 4:00 A.M., October 30. It was first considered best to take him by bus with a large detachment but the sheriff later decided to take the quieter way and thus save some expense, his judgment being good, since the prisoner was safely delivered in the State Prison at 2:15 A.M. Btry. D. was marched to the armory and dismissed at about eleven o'clock, there being no further need for them. MILITARY PERSONNEL. The military personnel on duty consisted of the following: Major Ralph L. Lewis, 252 CA(TD), Comdg. Btry. D, 252 CA(TD) Capt. E. L. Faulconer, Comdg. 2nd Lieut. W. E. Price. 2nd Lieut. E. A. Thompson. Sixty-three enlisted men (Total on roll 65). Total on Duty—4 officers and 63 men. Report of the Adjutant General 11 messing of troops All troops were messed at Cleggs Coffee Shop at a price of 33% cents per meal and the meals were excellently prepared and served. Due to the short duration of the duty it was considered unwise to arrange our own mess, and facilities for cooking at the armory are not of the best. INTELLIGENCE SECTION. Three men were instructed to remain in civilian clothes and to circulate in the crowd at the court house keeping always on the alert for news of impending trouble. During the trial this number was supplemented by about six others, not members of the National Guard. These nine men did excellent work and throughout both days of the duty, continually brought news of meetings, plans etc. most of the information being cor-rect, or at least gave us an idea as to what the most radical were thinking. On one occasion advance news from this section enabled us to rearrange our guard to prevent a possible stampede by disgruntled persons not able to gain admittance in the court house. They also brought news of a mass meeting in Sumner Township at which it was decided that the law would be left to take its course provided the negro was found guilty and sen-tenced, but that if a verdict of insane was rendered they had pledged themselves to try and take him from the sheriff. They rendered many helpful reports and this system of intelligence is highly recommended for this kind of duty. PRECAUTIONS AND PLAN OF DEFENSE. Due to the fact that it was the desire of the judge that all citizens be admitted to the court house no measures were taken to prevent persons from entering the court house until, they became so noisy, which was due mainly to the enormous crowd, that they bothered the workings of the court. Even then the court room was filled and others were admitted to the first floor (the courtroom being on the second). All rifles were loaded, the bolt being allowed to slip over the top cartridge, and the pieces locked. All men were ordered not to release the safety, to open the bolt, or to fire without specific command from a commissioned officer. A supply of tear gas bombs were kept on hand at all times with a special detail versed in the proper method of operation. While court was in recess a heavy guard was placed in the jail with the prisoner and no one allowed access to the fourth floor. Plans were made in case of emergency in the court room to take the prisoner out a back door and up a secret stairs to the jail. A squad of men were on hand at all times to handle the prisoner and all men in-structed to make their way to the third floor at a given signal. This floor not only protected the jail but offered an excellent place for defence where our men could be assembled and away from the crowd with only a small stairs leading to it. All officers and men wore steel helmets and the men fixed bayonets before entering the court house. In case the convoy was stopped on the road, the first car was instructed to pull to the extreme right of the road and the successive cars to come abreast, forming a barricade, and thus enabling the car with the prisoner to retrace its march and avoid the crowd. 12 Report of the Adjutant General miscellaneous incidents. The only damage reported was one broken glass door to the court room caused by crowding in an attempt by spectators to gain admittance just as the trial started. The troops took charge of the crowd after this happening. Two men were reported to have been seen with pistols just as the prisoner was being escorted from the court house. No arrests were made by the troops but quick flashing bayonets from the high port position, not only opened a passage through the crowd, but discouraged all hope of taking the prisoner from the soldiers. In the morning, while pushing the crowd back with rifles, someone tried to take a rifle from a guard. His start was good but the soldier soon retrieved his piece, not only handling himself well, but using extremely good headwork in not unduly exciting the crowd. COMMENDATION. The comdg. officer wishes to commend Capt. E. L. Faulconer, his two assisting officers, and his entire battery of enlisted men for their most excellent services. All conducted themselves, under most trying con-ditions, in a most commendable manner, were cool when the crowd was hardest to handle, and followed instructions to the smallest detail. The officers and men presented a fine appearance, all being properly policed and with their Melton uniforms properly pressed and fitted, the men looked most business like and efficient. This officer feels that they were a distinct credit to the already high standing of the military of this state. The daily papers were most liberal in their comments on the appearance and conduct of our officers and men, and letters are attached from the following officials of the court regarding the duty performed: The presiding Judge _ Thomas J. Shaw. The Sheriff of Guilford County ... D. B. Stafford. FINAL. It is thought by this officer, that while no actual trouble occurred, that the presence of the troops was entirely justified. The fact that there was no major trouble, that it was not necessary, to make a single arrest, that the court was allowed to proceed in an orderly way, and that the good State of North Carolina and the County of Guilford saved a blot from its name is evidence enough of the value of the precaution taken. The crowd of citizenry is also to be commended on their good behavior and coopera-tion with the authorities. The largest crowd attending court in the history of Guilford attended and it is thought to be the first time that troops have been called for an occasion of this nature in the county. The results accomplished and the duty performed confirms the old adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Ralph L. Lewis, Major, CA (TD), Commanding. Report of the Adjutant General 13 HEADQUARTERS BATTERY "E", 113th F. A. Sanford, N. C, June 22nd, 1932. To: The Adjutant General, N. C. N. G. Subject: Report of Active Duty. 1. Pursuant to verbal order by a long distance telephone, 10:45 P.M., June 19th, 1932, and confirmed by S. O. No. 159 AGO, N.C.N.G., June 19th, 193 2, this organization proceeded immediately with mobilization and after assembling the organization, properly equipping the men and carefully in-structing them in their duties, the organization was conveyed at 3:00 A.M., June 20th, 1932 to Saint Andrews Church situate on a County highway leading from Swan Station, N. C. to Lemon Springs, N. C, and about seven miles in a southeasterly direction from the town of Sanford. 2. Permanent headquarters were established at this point where the organization remained until it was ordered away. 3. The undersigned officer reported immediately in person to A. R. Rives, Sheriff of Lee County, for duty in the protection of two fugitives believed to be at large in that immediate section, should they be appre-hended by the civil authorities. The fugitives were accused of killing two men in a store at Cummock, N. C. 4. To accomplish the mission upon which this organization was sent two thirds of the Battery was immediately stationed as a guard around the area in which the fugitives were believed to be concealed. The object of this was to have some member of the organization at or near the taking of the fugitives so that the organization Commander might be immediately notified and the men assembled quickly at the scene of action. Supple-menting this guard telephone communication was established from the base for a half mile down two roads which comprised two boundaries of the area in question. 5. The area is swampy and densely wooded, and the civilian guards were insufficient in that they would not remain where posted, and, as a consequence, the fugitives escaped from the area and are as yet at large. 6. Pursuant to orders, the organization left its established base and was dismissed and discharged from active duty at 4:37 P.M., June 22nd, 1932. The enlisted personnel of this organization should be commended for the fine spirit they showed throughout the tour of duty. Three com-missioned officers and fifty-eight enlisted men were present for duty. 7. The local situation is very quiet at this time, and in the opinion of myself and civil authorities, there is practically no danger of any violence when the fugitives are apprehended. Dan B. King, Capt. Commanding Battery "E", 118th F. A. REPORT OF U. S. PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER 1931 State of North Carolina Office of U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer Raleigh June 31, 1931.

FEDERAL PROPERTY The National Guard of the State is well equipped and deficiencies in this respect are negligible. The State has been particularly fortunate in being able to obtain from the War Department adequate and suitable indi-vidual and organizational equipment at all times. Responsible officers are taking care of their equipment in a highly com-mendable manner and it is being properly safeguarded. FEDERAL FUNDS The Federal government has continued its policy in providing adequate funds for the support of the National Guard. Such support has made it possible for the National Guard to reach the present high state of efficiency. Federal funds disbursed by this office from November 1, 1930 to June 30, 1931 are shown below: Receipts Balance on hand October 31, 1930 _._._. $18,874.27 War Warrants 30,174.10 $49,048.37 Disbursements Expenses Camps of Instruction $ 775.99 Compensation, Caretakers & Mechanics 27,925.00 U.

ACTIVITIES The undersigned has performed the duties of the office as prescribed by Federal and State laws and regulations. FEDERAL PROPERTY The National Guard is in a splendid state of equipment and the complete-ness of equipment in the various organizations has been the subject of much favorable comment by higher authority. Organization commanders have been particularly attentive to the equipment of their commands and sub-mitting the necessary requisitions. Similarly, they have been prompt in disposing of unserviceable property as prescribed in existing regulations. This office has given special attention to old shortages of former organiza-tion commanders and considerable progress has been made in removing them. FEDERAL. FUNDS During the period covered by this report, the fiscal year 1932, the under-signed disbursed approximately $200,000.00. Total federal funds contributed by the federal government for this year aggregated about $600,000.00 divided as follows: Camps of Instruction $200,000.00 Armory Drill Pay __ 200,000.00 Arms, uniforms, equipment, and miscellaneous.— 200,000.00 Actual disbursements and receipts for July 1, 1931 to June 30, 1932 were as follows: „ Receipts War Warrants _. $202,368.01 $202,368.01 Disbursements Expenses, Camps of Instruction $127,942.21 Compensation Caretakers and Mechanics.. 44,797.24 U.

The property accounts are audited once each year by the Finance Department of the War Department. In each instance, the finance and property accounts were reported as being in excel-lent condition without any adverse report. CONCLUSION The successful operation of the office of the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer is largely contingent upon the cooperation received from responsible officers. This cooperation has been 100 percent and has made it possible for the functions of the office to be discharged in a highly satisfactory manner. The Regular Army Instructors have rendered valuable service and they have always been ready and willing to render all possible assistance. Gordon Smith, Lt. Col. QMC, U. 8. P. and D. 0.. N. C.
