use, apply or place in escrow to the benefit of any unit of the

organized militia and of units of the organized militia in the active

military service of the United States, or otherwise to direct the

disposition of any and all moneys and balances remaining on deposit to

the credit of the custodian of any headquarters allowance of any unit of

the organized militia which has been disbanded, deactivated, or ordered

or called into the active military service of the United States, or to

pay bills chargeable against such headquarters allowance of disbanded or

deactivated units or of units ordered or called into the active military

service of the United States from such moneys. The custodian of any

headquarters allowance shall pay to the adjutant general, upon his

order, all moneys remaining in his hands to the credit of any disbanded

or deactivated unit of the organized militia or of a unit ordered or
