Setup Of Organization
At Round Table Rally

series of mass meetings throughout
the city tonight will be for the pur-
pose of prompt, intelligent, efficient

Col. Bolles explained the proposed
organization for the service at the
luncheon meeting yesterday of the

The people to be nominated and
appointed for the air raid warden
service should be selected by their
own neighbors, and should have the
absolute confidence Of those neigh
bors," Col Bolles said. They should
be sound people, collected people,
whose sense Of duty will overcome
all difficulties"
The warden service, he predicted
when set up will be like "sensitized
blanket over the entire District of
Columbia, so that when it is touched
it will go into action at the spot
touched. with efficiency and speed"
The fire and police departments
under the proposed preparation for
civilian defense. he said, were to be
increased at least three times, per-
haps five times in number of volun-

Doctors Urged 10 Hell +
In Testing Volunteers
For D. T.. Defense
Fire and Police Units
Must Be Examined
For Physical Fitness

A special appeal to Washington
physicians to offer their services in
giving physical examinations to
volunteers for fire and police serv-
ice here has been made by Col.
Lemuel Bolles, District civilian de-
fense director.
At the same time he said that
eventually perhaps as many as five
times the strength of the Metro
politan Police and the District Fire
Departments would be enlisted for
auxiliary emergency service. indi-
eating that a huge amount of serv-
ice would be required for medical
examinations before the volunteers
could be qualified for actual enlist
ment and placement in training.
Rutland Voices Plea.
Col. Bolles acted when a check
up showed hundreds of volunteers
for police and fire auxiliary service
were being held up because of the
inability of the Board of Police and
Fire Surgeons to give physical ex-
aminations at once to fire volun-
teers who already had been inter-
viewed. In this situation Health
Officer George c. Rutland, who is
head of the Health Committee OF
the District Defense Council, ap-
pealed to the District Medical So
ciety for aid. Theodore Wiprud, Sec
retary of the society, announced to.
day the society's Military Affairs
Committee was sending out letter:
to society members urging volun-
teers to make the physial tests.
Col. Bolles said: Il hope Wash
ington physicians will volunteer at
once for this duty. The District
program is tagging. I am making
no criticism of any one and have
no complaint, but we need action
now which will speed this program.
The Fire Department now is ready
to enlist a first contingent of vol
unteers to the number of $50. In
terviews have been given to men
who have registered for such service
but the program is blocked until
the physical examinations are given
Ultimately the Fire Department
hopes to have between 1000 and
5000 auxiliary firemen in training
or ready for emergency service.
Volunteers Interviewed.
The Police Department now is in
tervieWing volunteers for the first
contingent of 1921 auxiliary police
men. Col Bolles said this number
may be raised ultimately to more
than 1000.
