Blair BoIIes Addresses
Norway by Short-Wave

Blair Bolles, diplomatic reporter
for The Star. broadcast by short
wave to Norway yesterday. over Sta
ton WRUL, Boston. telling the peo-
pie of that occupied land that I'VE
are together in the war to erase
Fascism from the earth"
The United States and Norway
today have a double bond" he de-
clared. I'VE remember that we both
were forced into the war by the
same savage method. Without warn
ing the Germans struck at Oslo.
Without warning the Japanese at
Hawaii. We are united in anger
and united in love of liberty. Nei-
ther We nor you shall relax until
once more Norway belongs to the
Norwegians."
Mr.. Bolles told Norwegian listen
ers that perhaps in time past you
have heard rumors that my country
was doubtful about what course it
should take with regard to the war.
The rumors were true. They no
longer are true. This is a change
so sudden and complete that even
today, fortnight after the change
took place. friends of mine from
abroad express their wonder at it.

six inches, so as to be safe from
the chance of being struck heav-
ily by a collapsing wall. You can
tell which way the ceiling jolsts
run by noting the line OF nails
in the floor boards in the room
above. The top beams OF the
framework need not touch the
ceiling but they should not be
more than 2 or 3 inches below 1t.
Since plaster can be brought
down by a blast even if the walls
and floors are not damaged, 1t
is useful to fix a layer of wire
netting over the top OF the
framework. Paper spread over
the netting will prevent most OF
the smaller pieces from passing
through it. If you can't get a
strong netting, a canopy can be
arranged, by stretching a bed
sheet tight from wall to wall
over the framework. This is well
to do even if you do not build
the framework
The construction of the frame
work, using rough timbers, re-
quires not much more than a
saw, hammer and nails. The
amateur carpenter should be able
to do it with some one to help
him put up the framework. Since
none Of the eight pieces Of wood
is as long as the dimension OF
the room along which it is to be
placed, there should be no dif-
f1culty in getting everything into
the room.

Taxicab' Driver Shot
When He Disobeys
Gunman's S Orders
Attocker FIees After
Woundine Hacker in
Drive Into Virginia

A taxicab driver who defied gun
held at his back by passenger TO
swing his machine onto the ramp OF
a filling station near Falls Church
to seek help was shot through the
lung by the gunman early today.
The hacker, Roland H. Beetle. 80.
of 24l7 Eighteenth street NV, Is
in a serious condition at Emergency
Hospital.
Sergt. Henry Mccarthy of the
Fairfax County police said Mr.
Beetle was hailed by a white man
at Fourteenth and Upshur streets
NV. and was instructed to go TO
Falls Church.
In Falls Church, police said, Mr..
Beetle was directed to turn out the
Leesburg pike and 1t was then that
the passenger pulled gun on him.
Police said Mr.. Beetle offered the
gunman his money, but that was
refused and the driver continued
for about miles with the gun
pointed at his back.
About a mile beyond Tysons Cor
ner, Sergt. Mccarthy reported, Mr..
Beetle swerved his car toward the
service station. The gunman fired,
Jumped from the car and fed on
foot.
The wounded cab driver made his
way into the filling station.
About two hours after the shoot
ing Fairfax police received a report
from Lonnie B. Morris of Mclean,
Va, that his sedan had been stolen

Thomas Urges
| Afraid Shelter
| For Capitol

A study looking to construction
of air-raid shelter facilities for the
Capitol and Senate Office Building
was proposed in the Senate today
by Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma.
His resolution, calling on the
sergeant-at-arms of the Senate and
the architect of the Capitol to make
a survey and report on the best ap-
proach to the problem, was referred
to committee without immediate
action.
Senator Thomas recalled that
nearly year ago he had proposed
another resolution asking the War
Department to study the whole sub
ject to AFRAID precautions, but
that resolution met objections.
In support of the resolution, the
Senator had dispatch read from
the desk. quoting Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt as predicting enemy
bombers would raid some American
city in an effort to hurt morale and
production.

Speeding Up Education
Graduation al 70 Urqed

Streamlining of high school and
college programs to speed up educa-
ton was urged at the winter meeting
of the Planning and Executive Board
of the American Council on Educa-
ton, the Council reported yesterday.
1t is recommended that the educa-
ton process be accelerated so that
students-especially the more ad-
vanced ones-may be ready to grad
uate from college at 20.
Many high school and college
students are leaving school to enlist
in the armed forces and others are
quitting to take well-paying jobs,
the Councils findings show. Still it
is important, the Council asserts,
that able young men and women
complete their college training, thus
the speedup is necessary.
The Council recommended that
accrediting agencies suspend for the
period of the emergency any specific
requirements of hours, units, OF
credits which might interfere with
the proposed acceleration of high
school and college programs.

President Roosevelt has signed
the bill authorizing the District to
accept, through loan or grant, up
to $2,6O0,000 of funds appropriated
under the Lanham Act for the re-
lief of national defense areas, the
White House announced today.
Originally the measure authorized
up to s6,OOO000, but this was cut to
$2,500,000 when Federal Works
Agency officials charged with allo-
eating the Lanham funds announced
that this amount was all that is
available for allotment to the Dis
trict.
Projects covered by the authorize
ton are mainly additional water
facilities for Anacostia and addi-
tional pumps for the reservoir at
Dalecarlia.

People have often been rescued
from demolished houses in Eng
land because they had taken
shelter under an ordinary table
which bore the weight OF the
falling upper floor. A timber
framework, like an empty box,
can be built inside your refuge
room to achieve the same pur-
pose with certainty. The frame
work distributes the weight OF
the ceiling above and supports it.
The framework is quite diff
ferent in principle from propping
up a floor. When a floor falls, it
gives a sidewsrd push which is
likely to knock the props over.
The framework is designed to be
self-supporting and to withstand
this.
The dimensions should be such
that the posts stand at a dis
tance from the walls approx
mately one-quarter of the width
or length of the room. If the
room is 10 feet wide by II feet
long, the posts will be about 2
feet, 6 inches from the side
walls and 3 feet from the end
walls. The posts may either be
passed through small openings
in the floor boards to rest on
solid concrete or fixed to beam
plank screwed to the floor.
The two top beams OF the
framework must be placed at
right angles to the ceiling joists
and their ends should not be
nearer to the walls than about
