By w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

Jim Moran, the lay scientist
who lacks professional standing
because he does his best work
while lolling in a hammock sip
ping barley water, has come up
with something practical at last.
Moran's suggestion for what
this country needs has nothing
to do with hemisphere defense,
Hitler or the two-ocean Navy.
In fact, he risked junking the
whole scheme just to avoid sug-
gesting the war to the public
mind.
Originally Moran planned a
national contest to see who
could eat a 75-millimeter tomato
through a Russian snowshoe in
the shortest elapsed time. This
would have given Moran a head
start, since he owns perhaps the
only genuine Russian snowshoes
in the country and grows bushels
of 75-millimeter tomatoes in the
window box of his Riggs Court
apartment.

Red Cross Roll Call
Headquarters Open
Today for Returns
Drive Still $4,000 Short
Of Goal, Morris Says, =.
Citing Increased Need

Red Cross Roll Call headquarters
at 2O20 Massachusetts avenue NV.
will be open from 10 to o'clock
today as an emergency measure to
reach the District quota of 10000
memberships before the drive closes
tonight.
With 123,96S enrolled last night,
according to Edgar Morris. Roll Call
chairman. the District Silver Ami
versary Roll Call group is still $4,000
short of its goal Registrations will
also be taken tomorrow, Mr.. Morris
said, at booths in hotels, depart
ment stores and other public places.
Government departments and
other organizations which have not
yet reported to headquarters will
have an opportunity to report to-
day, Mr. Morris said. Since only
5000 memberships were reported
yesterday. he said, officials expect
several thousand memberships to
be reported today by workers too
busy to file them yesterday. Sew
eral reports from large organiza-
tions, he added, were made yester-
day too late to be included in
Saturdays total.
Increased Need for Services.
Washington quota was increased
this year, Mr.. Morris explained, to
meet demands for increased service
to American forces and to nations
abroad. In addition, civilian de-
fense preparations have expanded
local activities.
During the last 25 months, accord
ing to national Red Cross head
quarters, Red Cross war relief alone
reached total of s49,753,515. More
than 100000 of the total purchased
supplies for Russian war wounded.
An additional 100000 worth of
medical supplies sent from England
to Russia last week is not included
in the figures.
The national Red Gross Roll Call
November 11-30, it was explained,
is especially for domestic needs.
Quota Failure Disappointing.
Failure of the Washington unit to
reach its quota, Mr.. Morris said, is
peculiarly disappointing in that the
city has led the country during the
last 25 years in per capita member
ships.
Describing the situation as
"fraught with alarm" Mr.. Morris
declared, Surely every one, every
member of every family, should
want to be part of this great
service when the membership costs
but 81 a year.
I'VE simply must have 200,000
Red Cross members in the District"
he concluded, ''if we are to do the
job to which the Red Gross has dedi-
Gated itself"

Jim Don't Be Whocky) Moran Comes Up With Sane Idea

"You can quote me as saying.
however" Moran said, that I
don't approve of these whacky
variations"
In issuing his challenge, Moran
said he will meet all comers at
6 am. in front of the goat pad
dock at the Zoo. The goats, he
felt, should find the contest in
teresting as we'll as educational.
Offers Slow Arriving.
What are you plugging?"
Moran was asked.
Moran stirred uneasily and be-
gan to turn tomato color.
81 won't make a nickel out of
this" he said. No, not
nickle unless, that is, get
some offers from the tomato in
dustry. They're a little slow so
far; in fact, so slow I'm getting
pretty sore. doubt If I'll take
any of their old offers.
I'll just write it oil as my
psychological contribution to ma
tional defense"

Practices in Bathtub.
This background, he feels, quail
ifies him to conduct the tomato
eating contest and to participate
as well. A spirit of sportsman
ship, however, prompted him to
warn contestants that he has
been practicing for three days in
his bathtub, consuming 4 bushels
of tomatoes.
Moran claims the champion
ships of Maine, Florida and Ore
gon. He declined, for obvious
reasons, to reveal his best time to
date but threw out a hint to the
effect that he can do the trick

But out of Difference to the jit-
terry state of the public mind,
Moran altered his specifications.
He will use 65-millimeter toma-
toes, of a diameter which does
not suggest the bore of a field
gun, and a standard tennis
racket. Moran went so far as to
mention the make of tennis
racket, but withdrew the stipu-
lation to avoid any taint of COM
mercialism.
He's been a press agent so long
he's sensitive on the score, and
so are the city editors.

whale in San Francisco Harbor,

Behind Civilian Defense Plan

To Meet Any Emergency

In a direct personal request to
the public and its organized units.
including labor. business, the clergy
and civic bodies. Commissioner John
Russell Young yesterday called for
prompt and efficient action to
complete the Districts civilian de-
fense program.
The appeal was regarded as of
special Importance since, as re-
vealed Thursday. the Budget Bureau
twice has rejected requests by the
Commissioners for ALLEGATION of
some of the Presidents emergency
fund for developing civilian defense
facilities in the National Capital,
suggesting that the District either
await congressional action on addi-
tional appropriations or seek its own
funds.
At the present time the District
civilian defense office is operating
without dime" Of its own f1nanc-
ing. but considerable progress has
been made in preparing for enlist
ment of auxiliary firemen and police
and other workers, although means
still must be found to provide
financing and equipment for their
training and effective service.
Statement Given Out.
Mr.. Young, speaking as president
of the Board of Commissioners but

dinator for the Metropolitan Area,
said:

Of Di trict Commissioners, l wish
to bring to the attention OF the
people of the District of Columbia
the very urgent necessity for prompt
and efficient action in completing
the organization of this community
for civilian defense.
1T is unnecessary to go into de-
tail as to the situation confronting
us, what we need to do is very clear.
This Metropolitan Area must pre-
pare itself to meet any emergency
which may arise. We have been
sufficiently warned by our highest
authorities. The manner of doing
this has been clearly outlined by
the Office of Civilian Defense.
Steps Needed Are Cited.
"I therefore call upon our people
to take the following steps promptly

his carved relief work in the audi
torium of the new Interior Depart
ment Building, often referred to as
an outstanding accomplishment in

ognition of Stackpole the sculptor

mounting position of California in
the story of American art" Mr..
Clarke declared.

kins Institute in San Francisco, Mr..
Stackpole studied further at the
