Azariah, In dan bi9aop of the Agelican Church - among the outcastes and untouchables of southern India. There are not less than 10000 Indian converts admitted into the churches of this diocese each year. For many years this missionary field has been under the care of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. one of the earliest of British mission bodies. The Society has stations also in Ceylon and in many other sections of India. Because of the war situation in Britain. the Pro- testant Episcopal Church of the United States has undertaken to help support the work of these stations.

The troubled international situa-
ton is speeding plans for the civil
protection of the National Capital
against the possibility of some ma
jor disaster, remote as the threat
now seems.
The general plan so far, is in the
preliminary stage, although sub
stantial spade work already has
been ACCOMPLISHED by the public
utilities. A schedule is being worked
out for the quick mobilization Of
police and fire forces in event Of a
! city-wide emergency.
Police S'1pt. Ernest w. Brown said
yesterday he expects to call his new
Civil Protection Committee into a
second meeting not later than Feb
ruary Is to act on suggestions now
under consideration. This commit
tee functions as one of several un-
der the newly organized District
Council of Defense.
Questions to be decided by the
committee will include defense
plans against possible bombings,
sabotage, the disruption of power,
water. gas and sewer facilities, riots
and pny other threat to the public
safetv. The water department al
ready has asked Congress for $4,000
to provide an alternate supply IN
event Of sabotage and additional
funds may he sought soon for stor-
age facilities as a secondary water
supply for f1re-fghting purposes.
Decline to Discuss Details.
Neither Maj. Brown nor other
members of his committee would
discuss details of the plan at this
stage. In a general way it probably
will follow that organized by Mayor
La Guardia of New York City under
a Board of Disaster Control imme-
diately after the start of hostilltles
in Europe.
The object of the Mayors board
is to coordinate resources OF the
entire city to cope with any major
emergency. The board is charged
with gathering information and
statistics on existing personnel and
equipment. and formulating recon-
mendations for improvements in
the light of the international sit
uatiOn.
The board made a study of power
stations, communications, gas sys-
TENS, the location of auxiliary
plants for hospitals, public build
ings, etc, as we'll as compilation
of facilities for the transportation
of civilians, police and city en-
ployes in event of sudden emer-
gency.
Plans were made for the ham
ding of large riots and the mobilt-
zation of the city's employees. An
organization plan was drawn up for
the civil army, and special emer-
gency posts were mapped-airports,
armories, banks, bridges, tunnels,
consulates, gasoline and oil stor-
age places, business offices, piers,
power and telephone plants, gas
plants, powder and ammunition
works, railway terminals and yards,
storage places for explosives, firms
with war contracts, etc.
Bridgeport System Studied.
Somewhat similar plans, State
wide in scope, have been drawn up
in recent months along the North
Atlantic Seaboard.
Maj. Brown expressed interest in
the emergency control system or

ing the proportion of opponents
down. For example, at the Office of
Senator Lodge, Republican, of Mas
sachusetts, it was said that the ratio
of letters has been as high as to 3
against the bill and this has dropped
to 2 to /. Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, has received
approximately 500 letters day, with
rs per cent opposing the bill in its
present form.
In the Office of one Massachu-
sets member of Congress, however,
it was said that of Al letters re-
ceived from Concord, of revolution
sry fame, 40 supported the bill and
only one opposed it.
The Office of Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana reported the
mail hao been huge, with 95 per
cent of the writer's opposing the bill.
The Montana Senator has taken a
lead in fighting the measure.
Blooms Mail Heavy.
Chairman Bloom said he had re-
ceived thousands of letters on the
subject of the bill. He made no
effort to fix the proportion, how
ever. Senator Lucas, Democrat, of
Illinois and Senate Majority Leader
Barkley also said they were re-
celving a great volume of mail but
had not segregated it.
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, a Re-
publican member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee and a signer
of the minority report on the bill,
is receiving a heavy mail from all
parts of the country. This COR
reSpondence is about 6 10 l in sup
port of Mrs. Rogers position that
the Gill should be modified so far
as REIMBURSEMENT by Congress of
its powers is concerned.
What effect, if any, this volume
of messages on the bill will have on
Congress members is still problem
atical. Many are inclined to take
the view that constituents, having
supported President Roosevelt in the
last election. will continue to sup
port him in his foreign policy. They
are, therefore, disinclined to be
moved to oppose the administration
bill.

Germany Credited
With 10000 Planes
OF All Varieties
Only 5000 Are Available
For Use at Any One Time.
London Observer Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. IAN unofficial
but well-informed air observer to-
night placed the number of air.
planes available to Germany for
full operation at any given time"
at about 5000 and said Germany's
total air strength, including all
types of planes, is about 10000.
This observer said three Nazi air
fleets were operating against Brit
ain.
Air fleet No. 2, under Field Mar
shal Gen. Albert KesseTing, oper-
ating from Belgium. Northern
France and part of the Neither
lands.
Air feet No. 3, under Field Mar
shall Gen. Hugo Sperrle, operating
in Western France from bases be-
tween Brest and the Spanish from
tier, and
Air fleet No. S, under Col. Gen.
JAMS Juergen Stumpff, operating
from the Northern Netherlands,
Emden. Germany; Denmark and
Norway.
Three Other Fleets.
In addition to these, he added,
are air fleet No. 1 in Eastern Ger
many, Air fleet No. 6 in Rumania
and Air fleet No. with headquar-
ters in Vienna.
Aside from these six fleets, he
said. the Germans have an inde-
pendent air unit now operating in
Italy.
This unit together with all other
German air strength-including a
transport organization reputed to
have 1000 transport airplanes for
carrying parachute troops, air.
borne infantry, supplies and anti
aircraft guns-would bring the total
German planes to some 10000, he
added.
This figure would include trainers,
communications aircraft, general
odds and ends" as we'll as planes un-
finished and finished in the Nazi
reserve pool.
Repairs Ground One-Fourth.
Theoretically, the informant ex-
planned, 10000 would be ready for
operation at any moment. but this
peak is further limited to 5000 by
operational difficulties on the
primitive" airfields of France and
in the heavily bombed German air.
fields.
The necessity for repairs alone
would make a quarter of the avail
able airplanes unserviceable at any
given time, he said.
Special transport units attached
to German squadrons to carry
ground personnel are common, he
said. each fighter group of 140
machines having 80 transports
attached.
The best estimates here, he added,
were that the Germans never had
more than $500 planes in the air
on single day during the height
of the Flanders campaign and the
subsequent daylight attacks on
Britain.

Committee to Speed Plans
For Civil Defense of Capital
Maj. Brown to Call Early Meeting to Act
On Proposals Now Under Consideration

of one of the worlds largest NUM-
tions plants, for the protection OF
vital centers and the mobilization of
the city's police and firemen.
The police scout cars OF Bridge
port are armored. have bulletproof
glass and are equipped with ma
chine guns, high powered rifles and
acetylene torches They are dis
tributed so that 25 armed men can
be spotted at any point in the city
at a few minutes notice.
While Washington scarcely needs
this specialized type of protection,
Maj. Brown was much impressed
by a "bomb-buster taxi" which
Bridgeport police manufactured
from material they found on a
junk yard.
Designed to Remove Bombs.
The bomb buster" was designed
to carry off incendiary or other
types of bombs to a place of safety
and to protect the police and the
public meanwhile. 1t was made of
half of a small locomotive boiler
upended on an old automobile
chassis fitted with pair OF wheels.
The bottom of the tank was filled
with sandbags to absorb the shock
of possible explosions. Should a
suspected bomb be found, the
bomb buster" is hooked to the rear
of a patrol wagon and arrives on
the scene in short order.
Mai. Brown said this was one of
the best improvised methods he
knew of for dealing with suspected
bombs, especially if such bombs
might be found in public buildings,
where the lives of the public would
be endangered during removal. He
hopes to obtain one soon for the
Police Department, he said.
The local police chief is president
of the International Association of
Chiefs of Police and one of the or
ganizers of a Nation wide plan for
police emergency and disaster mo-
biliza ton as defense measure.
Details Drawn Last November.
Details of a cooperative plan we're
drawn up at a meeting of police and
fire chiefs here last November with
representatives of Federal investiga-
tive agencies and the Army and
Navy intelligence. All meetings were
held behind closed doors.
Members of Maj. Browns commit
tee include Fire Chief Stephen T..
Porter, Herbert A. Friede, communi-
cations executive; DR.. E. F. Harris
of the Federation of Civic ASsocia-
tions; Odel Smith of the Washing
ton Board of Trade; Claudius Turn

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

1t didn't take Peter Rabbit long
to find the sweet singer whose hap
py trills had caught his attention.
He spied him sitting on the tiptop
of fir tree in Farmer Browns yard.
Peter didn't dare 60 over there,
for already it was broad daylight.
But he didn't have to, for the sweet
singer flew over in the Old Orchard
and alighted just over Peters ear.
Hello, Peter!" he cried.
Hello, Linnet!" cried Peter. 81
was wondering who it could be who
was singing like that. I ought to have
known, but you see it is so long
since I've heard you sing that I
couldn't remember your song. I'm
SO glad you came here, for I'm
just dying to talk to somebody"
Linnet the Purple Finch, for this
is who 1t was, laughed right out.
Il see you're still the same old
Peter" said he. Il suppose you're
just as full of curiosity as ever, and
just as full Of questions. Well, here
I am, so what shall we talk about?"
You, replied Peter promptly.
Lately I've found out so many sur
prising things about my feathered
friends that 1 want to know more.
I'm trying to get it straight in my
head who is related to whom and
I've found out some things which
have begun to make me feel that I
know very little about my feath-
cred neighbors. It's getting so that
I don't even dare guess who a per-
sons relatives are. If you please,
Linnet, what family do you belong
to?"
Linnet few down a little nearer
TO Peter. Look me over, Peter"
said he with twinkling eyes. Look
me over and see if you can't tell for
yourself"
Peter stared solemnly at Linnet.
He saw bird of sparrow size whose
entire body was rose red, brightest
on the head, darkest on the back,
and palest on the breast. Under
meath he was whitish. His wings
and tail were brownish, the outer
parts of the feathers edged with
rose red. His bill was short and
stout.
Before Peter could reply, Mrs. Lin
net appeared. There wasn't so much
as a touch of that beautiful rose
red about her. Her grayish brown
back was streaked with black. Her
white breast and sides were spotted
with streaks of brown. Had she not
been with Linnet. Peter certainly
would have taken her for a sparrow
She looked so much like one that he
ventured to say, II guess you belong
to the Sparrow family"
That's pretty close, Peter, that's
pretty close" declared Linnet. I'VE
belong to the Finch branch of the
family, which makes the SparroWs
own cousins to us. Folks may get
Mrs. Linnet mixed with some OF
our Sparrow cousins, but they
