SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-Over half the auto mileage driven in l94O was connected with earning live lihood or closely related economic pursuits" the California State Auto mobile Association asserts, passing its finding on recent statistical stud ies.''

of Indian Affairs regarding tn e hospital location.
 Dimond said the amendment to the Territorys organic act has not been reported out of commit tee in its new form, since being rewritten by the committee on territories. In it's present form, the bill would provide a territorial House of Representatives of 24 members, based on population. in the various districts, and a Senate of 16 members, four from each division. At present, the bill is being re-worded so defense forces and non- citizens in districts would not be counted in population figures on which the number of Terri torial Representatives is based.
 Praises Ryan
 Delegate Dimond was high in his praise of the work of Ryan, who has been in New York and Wash ington to obtain rifles for the AL aska home guard Ryan made all arrangements for the firearms, Di- mond reported, even putting up his personal bond to guarantee their safe return to the States after the emergency is passed.

suits brought by Congressman Swee- ney against the Washington Merry Go-Round column and it's clients.
 Judge Alfred, in one of the most vigorous defenses of the freedom of the press handed down by a Federal Judge in recent years, states regard ing the column which Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen wrote about Congressman Sweeney that public officials and candidates are legiti- mate subjects for news and com ment. While they cannot be libeled, they must reconcile themselves to occasional yarns which, however, hurtful to their feelings, are not actionable.'
 Tt is not question of how a judge or plaintiff might feel about it; mere injury to the feelings of a public officer cannot be the basis of an action" Judge Alfred said. All judges, assume feel in their own minds they are liberal; but a charge against a judge, however untrue, that he is not liberal or is reactionary would hardly be libelous. As pointed out by Judge Clark in his dissenting opinion in the New York case, the broad sweep of the rule for which plaintiff contends would take in comments found day after day in the most conservative newspapers, either as direct statements or as quotations of responsible critics, that a public official. particularly a leg islator, is pro or anti-labor, or pro or anti-Nazi; or pro or anti this or that race, color or creed
 The Washington Merry Co., Round columnists had described Congress- man Sweeney as the spokesman of Father Coughlin and said that he was opposed to the appointment of U. s. District Attorney Freed of Cleveland to be Federal Judge be- cause Freed was foreign born Jew.
 Discussing the truth of the col umn, Judge Alfred said that Con- gressman Sweeney "does not deny that he was known as the Congress sional spokesman of Father Cough lin, or that the basis of Father Coughlin's opposition to Freed was that he was Jew, not born in the United States; nor does he deny that the basis of his own opposition was that Freed was not born in the Unit ed States. He does not dispute that hot behind -the-Scenes fight was raging in the Democratic Congress sional ranks over Father Coughlin's effort to prevent the appointment of MT. Freed, then United States Dis- trict Attorney, who had an excellent record, endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Cleveland Bar Association. True, he denies that the basis of his own opposition was that Freed was a Jew''
 In conclusion Judge Alfred ruled: Tt would in effect be a denial of the freedom of the press to say that reputable newspapers would have to defend themselves from such suits as this. It would make them unduly hesitant, fearful. It would lead to endless litigation even though the 'pickings' at the hands of juries be small. In my judgment enough facts

vices: medical, engineering, fire and police departments.
 Message Transmlttal
 All warning signals come from district warning centeTs to report 'centers and are sent on to the war. dens' posts. After the raid has begun the reports begin to come back to the report center from the wardenS' posts. As each message is received, the chief reads 1t and it IS then taken down in quadruplicate. Sup pose for instance, a message was re- ceived from Post 3 reporting incen- diary bombs, several casualties and fire. Copies of this message would be passed to the men at the table and immediately the fire, police and medical representatives would call their respective headquarters and order units to the scene of damage. Then a second message arrives tel- ling of e big explosive bomb in Post 6 which has disrupted gas, water, and electrical facilities and started fire. At once all services send units to Post 6. Tn one minute all the services represented around the table in the report center have Issued or. ders to various companies and units have been dispatched to the scene Of trouble.
 At the saShe time the movement of ell equipment and service units are plotted by . series of pins on the wall map. At any moment the chief warden can call for Q check of the facilities in service and can ] be double checked by the file clerks messages and the plotting officers plan on the wall.
 It is important to note that cer- tain of the warning signals are confidential" The general public usually will not be warned of an impending air raid until the sirens or bells tell them to take shelter This is because many warnings may come through but the raid may never materialiSe.

This article is Number ' in a series of ten prepared by the State Defense Council on the duties and activities of Air Raid Wardens.
 Our civilian defense is being mod eled after the English system which has been tried and tested. The air raid precaution services are entirely civilian and function only to save civilian lives and civilian property. Integral and equal working units are: air raid wardens, fire and fire auxiliary departments, motor ser- vices (this includes ambulances, mo- bile canteens and first aid), police and police auxiliaries, decontamina- ton squads, utility squads <(gas, water, telephone, electricity and sewage,) rescue and demolition corps and radio squads. The personnel of each unit is civilian.
 Area Survey
 The Governor of each state has, or soon will have, appointed civil ian defense council or committee. This council, in cooperation with the army, the navy, and the public util- ities, makes 6 complete survey of the state. They note the large cities, the big industrial areas, the institutions, the rural communities, the towns, and they try to. pick out the most vulnerable spots which an enemy would first attempt to disrupt. Upon the basis of this survey and the facilities of the telephone company to handle the vital communications, the chain of air raid precautions centers throughout the state is de- termined.
 Tn Connecticut, fifteen district warning centers, formerly called con- trol centers, have been designated These major centerS are directly under state control. They are as stragetically located as possible, and are where the telephone company can give adequate service to handle the intricate and necessary chain of communications.
 Each district warning center will in all probability, consist of fairly large room, one wall of which will be covered with large scale map of the area controlled. Over this map will be four lights: yellow, blue, red and white. There will be large desks or tables, a short wave radio and adequate filing facilities. A warning call will come from the Army In- formation Center to the district warning center; this warning will have originated in one of the various airplane watcher" or "spotter" posts which are under Army control. Warning System
 The first warning will probably reach the controller, or his deputy in each warning center by telephone and will consist of one word yellow meaning raiders on the way" When the controller received the call warn- ing yellow" he announces 1t to those in the warning. center and throws a switch lighting the yellow light over the map. An operator, who is in tho room, immediately begins re- laying yellow" to all report centers in the area. Next comes the "blue' warning, meaning 'raiders headed your way" The blue light over the map is flashed on, and the operator orders all other posts and centers in the area to hold on and be pre- pared for instant duty. A fred" flash means immediate danger and then the other deputy wardens, who are

stationed in the room are calld into play. One receives the calls for help from nearby towns another or ders equipment (fire, police, ambu- lanceS, rescue squads) from one town to another as needed. A third war den records all transfer of equip inent. The map warden indicates by means of different colored pins on his large scale map, exactly where bombs have fallen, the transfer of equipment from one town to another and plots all available facilities as well as those already in use and where they are being used. This map gives an accurate and complete pie ture of the whole area at any time.
 Thus through these district warn- Ing centers initial warnings are transmitted to nearby towns, equip ment is shuttled back and forth across town boundaries as needed, and carefully checked as they go and come. And finally the white" or "all clear" Is given.
 Next come the report centers. Tn Connecticut there will be e report center for towns of somewhere over 2,5o0 people in rural districts, and one for as high as 60,000 population in cities. These report centers will be very much like the district warning centers. Each will be a large room, with long table about two-thirds the length of the room, adequate files, and again a large map cover ing one entire wall of the room. This time the map will be of the rural area or of the section of the city under the Jurisdiction of the report center. At the head of the table will sit the chief warden for the district and around the table the represen- tatives of the various special ser
