Willkie for president of the
United States. The national
election day weather forecast
was generally fair
Stirred by political dispute as It
has not been since 1916, the nation
has registered 10000, 900 voters and
the largest poll in history Is under
way.
Republicans are battling not only
to win the White House but the
House of Representatives. Some
political forecasters believe the
presidential election may 60 one
way and the congressional choice
another.
There are 80 United States sena-
tors to be elected but 1t Is a mathe-
matical certainty because OF
Democratic - strength in southern
states - that Republicans cannot
win the Upper House,
The seats Of all ABS members OF
the House were at stake this year.
Maine elected her three-member
delegation last September 50 that 432
seats are to be filled today. The rep
resentatives from Maine are all Re-
publicans.
Thirty-five gubernatorial elections
we're carded. but Maine and Louis
lana already have made their choices
leaving 80 to be elected today.

Sidelights

Observers believed today that the
Republican party had spent more
locally during this campaign than
In any previous one In history.
Many Of the costs were billed to
Willkie clubs and similar groups but
they we're all Republican expendi-
lures.
Charley DeBisschop, the mayor
OF East Mountain was on hand
bright and early, as is usual on any
election day. Charley spent the day
going from polling place to polling
place, looSzrs oser the prospects.
"It's Republican weather" said
one OF the G.. o. P. leaders gleefully
this morning as he saw a bright
sun shining. Republicans hoped
that the absence Of rain this morn
ing was an omen favorable to them.
The mails again today were flood
ed with campaign literature, most
OF 1t pro-Willkie. There were thou
sands of cards delivered urging vot-
erS to ballot against Senator Ma
loney and Congressman Smith be-
cause they had voted for the con-
scription act, though Wendell L.
Willkfe had also declared in favor
OF it.
That's making more votes for US
than anything else in the cam
paign." said Washington Hill Ed
Curley last night as he pointed to

Commissioners Get
Plan for Centralized
Ambulance Control
Dispatcher System,
Radio Equipment
Urged by Rutland

Proposals for creation of a CEN
tralized ambulance control bureau
under public auspices were pre-
scented to the Commissioners today.
Action was deferred, however.
pending the return of Commissioner
J. Russell Young from his vacation.
The plan is embodied in a study
made by Health Officer George c..
Rutland at the request of the city
heads earlier this month.
The health officer has suggested
the operation of 24-hour control
system, with dispatcher to re-
ceive calls for ambulance service
and relay them to the nearest am
bulance center. A survey of the
number of ambulances available in
the District has convinced DR..
Rutland there are enough vehicles
on hand to render adequate service
provided this service was centralized.
The health officer is also Of the
opinion that the Commissioners
have the power to establish such an
agency under present law.
Radio Equipment Urged.
A feature of the proposed GEN.
tralization would be the close in
tegration of the departments IA
physicians to the poor with the
ambulances. DR.. Rutland explained
that a study of ambulance calls
showed many persons put in call
for the vehicles when they actually
wanted a physician. Many of the
calls, he added, we're for such triv-
ial complaints as nose-bleeds.
In such cases, he explained. where
an ambulance is not needed the
Health Department physicians could
take care of the situation.
Other recommendations call for
uniform record of reporting ambu-
lance calls and the equipment of
participating ambulances with radio.
Doctor Not Always Needed.
Dr.. Rutland said doctor need
not necessarily accompany the am
bulance, but that both the driver
and an assistant should be trained
in first aid. The District now has
financial arrangements of varying
nature with many of the Districts
private hospitals and the health
officer suggested that these could be
revised to include arrangements for
the centralized ambulance service.
The attention Of the Commission
ers was directed to the ambulance
situation here following an accident
early this month in which victim
lay for some so minutes in the street
before the arrival of an ambulance.
The victim died in Casualty Hospital.

The Fifth Column Worker
By Ell. I. PHILLIPS

HE LOOKS like a man, but
performs like rattlesnake.
HE SHAKES your hand while
his wandering eye measures you
for a knife in the back.
HE is THE SKUNK that walks
like a man, the hyena that
waltzes like a patriot and the rat
that masquerades as a human
being.
HE EXPRESSES establishment
at the genius of American indus
try, but puts in plenty of time
reporting back to the enemy on
weak spots for attack.
HE NOT ONLY BITES the
hand that feeds him, but eats the
other hand for dessert.
HE SAYS. "It can't happen
here" while planning to help the
enemy do it.
HE IS THE KIND Of rodent
who would accept help from the
good Samaritan, ask the Samari-
tan to wait for him in the corner
drug store and then bomb the
drug store.
HE RENDERS evil for good,
thinks the doublecross is the
noblest work of man and eats
with his knife because he never
wants to have to depend on fork
when the time comes to stab his
host.
Nogales international., 1940-07-13

HE TAKES all America has to
offer with a smile and awaits a
chance to return the favor with q
machine gun.
HE COILS in the flag. hides in
the quartet singing the national
anthem and crouches behind the
Bill of Rights.
HE ACCEPTS your invitation
to dinner and makes a mental
blueprint Of your home so he can
return and snatch the silver.
HE LETS you help him on with
his coat while he plans to steal
your shirt.
HE LETS you pay his golf fee
while he figures out how much
powder it would take to blow up
the clubhouse.
HE BECOMES your weekend
house guest and spends most of
the time estimating how good a
target for bombers the children's
bedroom would make.
HE APPLAUDS America First
programs and laughs himself to
sleep over the fact his face didn't
betray him.
HE STANDS when "The Star.
Spangled Banner" is played, but
eases his conscience by assuring
himself that he was tired of sit
ting, anyhow.
