appreciate their meaning to those

and more unalterable determination
that here in our land they shall not
be lost or weakened or curtailed."

The United States Marine Corps
opened a new main recruiting sta
ton at 949 Ninth street NV. today,
and for once it looked like the ma
rines might not have the situation

The new Office had barely opened
its doors when it was nearly
swamped with prospective recruits,
whose admiration has been stirred
by the courageous stand of the
handful of marines who have been
beating off repeated Japanese at
tacks on tiny Wake Island.
Maj. Wethered Woodwork, U. S.

this district, which includes Wash
ington, Baltimore. Richmond and

Hospital Units

GoIIineer, Glenn Dale
Additions, Suburban
Buildings Planned

Additions to Gallinger Hospital
and Glen Dale Sanatorium, pro-
viding 1,000-bed capacity and two
suburban evacuation hospitals Of
500 beds each, will be proposed to
the Commissioners shortly, Health
Officer George c. Rutland disclosed
today.
He said these constitute the only
revision of plans submitted last
summer to take care Of hospital
cases in emergencies, which con-
templated use of available auditoria,
schools and churches as emergency
wards and extension of the capacity
Of other local hospitals where pos
sible.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
patients in local hospitals who can
be cared for at home already are
being moved out to make beds avail
able in case of emergency.
Mr.. Mason said the transfer Of
the patients was being accomplished
by local physicians as their own
project to increase the present hos
pital space.
This disclosure followed DR.. Run
lands announcement.
The two evacuation hospitals, DR..
Rutland said, would be in the Ar
lington and Bethesda areas and
would be built at an estimated cost
Of $500 a bed.
Temporary Structures.
The health officer said he would
recommend construction of these
two suburban hospitals along lines
of present temporary structures now
being built in the Mall to house de-
fense agencies. He said he has con-
suited o. P. M. officials and under
stands they will authorize materials
for such projects.
Some relaxation of the District
building code would probably be nee
essary, he felt, since the structures
would be only semi-fireproof.
The additions to Glenn Dale and
Gallinger would be constructed. he
suggested, on District-o prop
erty and could easily be connected
to the water and sewer facilities now
serving Gallinger and Glenn Dale.
Conference Tomorrow.
The purpose of the evacuation
units, DR.. Rutland declared. would
be to clear the main city hospitals
for casualty treatment. The evacua-
ton hospitals would be used for
convalescents and others in the
civilian population who might be
less severly injured.
The facilities of the hospitals nov
serving the District can be increased
also from 400 to 600 beds in case ot
emergency, according to information
supplied the health officer.
DR.. John Reed. in charge of the
medical section Of the civilian de-
fense program, said he and DR..
Ruhland will confer at II am. to-
morrow at the Dupont Circle Apart
ments with Maryland and Virginia
officials to discuss further the plan
for suburban evacuation hospitals.

He has represented Domei News
Agency in various parts Of the
world for the last seven years. His
father has lived in the United
States since 1901.
In his letter, Mr.. Kawakami ex-
pressed thanks to State Department
newspapermen for their friendship
and explained that the terrible
suddenness of events" had given him
no opportunity to say farewell
Telling of efforts made by himself
and his father to promote peace,
Mr.. Kawakami said of the japanese
treachery:
That shameful double dealing
coupled with the equally shameful
manner in which she launched her
attacks on Sunday, without warn
ing, indicates how completely the
militarists in Toxic have gone over
to the methods of Hitler and the
Nazis. Not only I but my father,
too. feel that these acts constitute
the blackest and most shameful
page in japanese history"
Strove to Relate True Facts.
Mr.. Kawakami said that he had
tried to report honestly for Domei
"the facts fully and truthfully. but
in recent months I know that very
little of what we reported ever came
to the knowledge of the japanese
public"
He said he felt it necessary, not
only for the sake of peaceful Japa-
nese but for people everywhere that
this type Of militarist rule be
crushed forever :" He expressed
the hope because, in this war, l

capacity I may be acceptable =. :

Stores Here Report
Brisk Demand for
BIackout Cloth
Large Orders Placed,
But Delay in Obtaining
Delivery Is Expected

A brisk demand for materials with
which to black out windows was re-
ported today by leading Washington
department stores.
At the same time, buyers said they
were enceuntering shortages in some
materials, such as black cloth and
black olicloth.
The stores have placed large
orders for these materials with man
ufacturers, but anticipated delay in
obtaining deliveries. owing to the
general situation-not necessarily a
shortage of materials, but difficulties
of fabricating quickly and finding
ready transportation.
Cloth of Wrong Type.
One store executive said it had
placed a large order for black cloth
of a type considered opaque and had
been advised that plenty of the
cloth was fabricated, but it was of
neutral gray, and not enough black
dyes were on hand.
Another store reported such de-
mand for black oil cloth that it was
running short.
Black paint also was in some de-
mand, though most householders
seemed to prefer oil cloth or black
curtains.
Manufacturers were receiving a
heavier demand for these materials
from the West Coast, one store man
ager said.
More Orders Placed.
One. large department store re-
ported moderate demand for dark
cloths-black and dark blue-and
said the stock on hand had proved
ample so far, though additional Or
ders were being placed in anticipa-
ton of increased demands as raid
precautions were better organized
while some householders, said
a buyer, SAY they are just going to
turn out their lights when there's
a blackout, leaving their houses or
apartments in complete darkness, if
there is active danger, and blackouts
become more frequent, undoubtedly
they will want at least one room
heavily shaded so that 1t can be
lighted without gleam being de-
tected outside, and I expect an in
creasing demand for blackout ma

Businessmen to
Straddle Ponies
Four teams to compete
in Musical Keg race

Rodeo fans are going to get a
big laugh out of a special event
which is being planned. It's the old
Musical chair stunt, pulled on horse
back-but they now call it key
race, for the chairs will be nail
kegs. Each time the music stops
there will be one less key than
there are riders, so the, elimination
goes on to select the winner.
Details for the event are furnish
ed by w. F. Martin who states
that contestants for this race are
men about town who THINK they
are cowboys. Those who KNOW
they are cowboys are barred. -Four
competing teams have been organi-
zed and the following captains Sc
lected: Brick Oliver, Ed Weber, A
Anon and Jock Martin.
Rules are two teams to compete
Friday, two Saturday, winners each
day in the finals on Sunday. Win
ming rider on each team last day
must rope a calf for championship
Rider failing to rope calf, as a
penalty for Misrepresentation, must
ride a wild cow. Riders must fur
nish horse and have it available
when race is called. Anyone losing
his horse when attempting to sit
on key will be disqualified.
Looks screwy, but will provide
lot of laughs to see these drug
store cowboys trying to stay aboard
a COW pony.

A bargeload of steel arrived this

to be used in the construction of

the river. The work, however, will
be done by the Columbia Marine
Shipyards, moving part of their
equipment to that side of the river
to do the work. The material will
also be unloaded on this side of the
river on account of the lack of ia
