44 MARYLAND MANUAL. MILITJA LAW OF MARYLAND The National Defense Act required all States to make their military laws conform with the provisions of the Act, in so far as any State law might have been in conflict or might have been deficient as to certain mandatory features of the Act, to entitle any State to partici- pate in the Federal appropriations for arming, equipping and training the National Guard. Accordingly, Article 65, P. G. L., Md., was repealed and re-enacted by the Legislature at its January (1922) session in which certain provisions of the National Defense Act have beea incorporated as the law of the State, thereby conforming to the Act. It was also found desirable to provide for the functioning of the ranking line officer of the National Guard on active duty pay status and to place this officer in control of the military department of the State. The authority, prerogatives and duties heretofore held and per- formed by the Adjutant General have, by the present law, been trans- ferred to the ranking line officer who is responsible only to the Gov- ernor, acting for and by his direction in all matters pertaining to the Military Departmpnt of the State. MARYLAND VETERANS’ COMMISSION. Chapter 481 of the Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, Session 1935, repealing and re-enacting with amendments, sections 57, 58, 59 and 60 of Article 65 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, creates a Maryland Veterans’ Commission with the Adjutant General or Assistant Adjutant General, or a Maryland Veteran, as chair- man, in the discretion of the Governor, and four other members, repre- sentative of the four major National Veterans’ organizations, to be appointed by the Governor. The Governor has appointed as members of this Commission: Name Address. Thomas B. R. Mudd, Chairman .. La Plata (Maryland Veteran) Walter E. Quenstedt . . . .
