civilian positions in the naval civil
organization. This practice, 1t was
said, has not been uniform in the
bureaus of the department. Officers
pointed out that with properly
functioning national organization
the matter could have been taken
up directly with high officials of the
Navy Department with a view to
having their commissions returned,
and the individuals called to active
duty in their commissioned grades.
In these grades, 1t was added, they
could have been assigned to the
same duties in the department which
they now are performing.
There was some indication last
week that the early action in dis
charging these officers from their
commissions might be reconsidered
and the officers restored to their
former status. In fairness to the
officers, it was asserted that most
OF them were on the volunteer Ee-
serve list. In that capacity they
were not required to attend regular
drills with the Organized Reserve,
nor to take the annual training
cruises. But most of them, in addi-
ton to giving one night a week to
drilling with the Organized Reserve
without pay, also took their an
nual cruises without pay, and also
paid their expenses aboard ship, as

ton. Thus much of the training
expense was borne by the officers
themselves. to say nothing of the
time which they gave without re-

Special Call Letters Given.
1t was announced last week by
the Federal Communications Com
mission that special call letters had
been assigned to the local Naval
Reserve radio station handling Re-
serve activities. The new call let
tiers are W3USN.
Local Reserve officials. however
said that this week all radio opera
tors in the Reserve would be called
to active duty, and that in the
future all rddiomen who desire Ia
get into the Reserve would have to
apply to the regular recruiting sta
tionS.
They said there is still a great
demand in the service for officers.
and that while, for the most part,
the educational requirements OF COL
lege degrees are being adhered to,
they are to some extent. in certain
instances, being relaxed to get into
the service men with some special
training.
In many cases. 1t was said, the
experience of man far outweighs
the educational requirements, and
they are being taken into the serv-
ice. In some instances, physical
waivers are being given on the eyes.

the man is desired involves desk

are even cases. it was indicated

requirement, because the Navy par

Hif-Run Driver Article
Read in Court Broadcast

Saying he wanted to make the
people of Washington traffic con-
scious," Judge George D. Nelson
Of Police Court yesterday had his
clerk read a magazine article on
the "Hit-and-Run Driver" during a
court radio broadcast. At the same
time the jurist urged citizens to
cooperate with police in helping
the latter apprehend hit-and-run
drivers by taking license numbers
and obtaining other marks Of
Identification at the scene of acci-
dents.
The magazine article emphasized
how a hit-and-run drivers con-
science must bother him and was
addressed as an "open letter to
hit-and-run driver" 1t read In

sistance already Is great.
The program Of imperial expan-
sion around the Mediterranean has
been thrown back into the melting
pot. Moreover. being gradually
turned into a gauleiter, Mussolini
sooner or later will have to face a
dangerous settlement of accounts
with his own people. That discon-
tent runs deep under the surface,
that the country has already to be
ruled with heavier hand, Is indi-
Gated by various signs.
Marshal Badoglio, dismissed from
the supreme command month ago,
recently took up quarters at the
Quirinal, the royal palace in Rome
long abandoned by King Victor
Emmanuel and his family. Is 1t to
be recorded merely as an anecdote
or as a portent?
The decisions which the Nazi and
the Fascist dictators reached when
they met about the middle OF Janu-
ary are still kept secret. The only
point which has come to the knowl-
edge of diplomatic observers is
that the demands to be urged upon
the French government prominently
figured on the agenda. BY now,
those demands must have been sub
mitted to Marshal Petain and his
advisers.
Aim at French Help.
The most important Of them aim
at enlisting French help, Indirect
help at any rate, for Fastening the
end of the war. Competent quar-
ters have reason to believe that the
German government claims to be
given control of the industries in
the Lyon area. Lately, only frag-
mentary information was at hand
about the contribution of French
industry, in the unoccupied zone,
to the strengthening Of the mill
tary machine. For instance. an
airplane factory near Tarbes was

If the Germans had their way,
the scope of that contribution would
be enormously enlarged. And were
the occupants" to set foot in the
Rhone Valley, it can be guessed that,
very soon, they would cast covetous
glances in the direction of Mar
seille.
But the major German request
concerns Bizerta and, this time, that
