factorily manner" to AFRAID pre-
caution regulations, Rufus S. Lusk
deputy air raid warden in charge
of such structures, yesterday citeo
the model setup in three types OF
buildings,
He singled out the MayhoWel
Hotel, Westchester Apartments ano
the Transportation Building as
among the structures where person
mel is organized, air raid equipment
has been installed, first aid has
been studied and where there is
general compliance with the regu-
lations.
He presented this picture of what
Is being done in the three estab-
lishments:
At the Mayhower the protection
plan was complete within a week
after Pearl Harbor. Two air raid
horns have been installed on each
of the 10 floors, operating on a
battery current to avoid possible
power cutoff.
After drills prizes are awarded

Fire-fighting equipment is in
stalled in the four penthouses on
the roof, where there is also located
a special water pipe line to which
hose can be attached. Also on the
roof are telephones connecting with
the central switchboard.
Outside roof watchers notify the
central operator if they should spot
room lights, Central" notifies the

equipped with a blue bulb to be
used during blackouts and in each
room are dual-purpose instructions,
one for blackouts, the other for air

Blackout arrangements have been
so made that normal activities,
dancing and dining can carry on
without being interrupted. During
an actual air raid, however, guests
will be evacuated from the front
lobby to the second-floor corridor
Bell boys have been instructed to
mingle freely with guests during
blackout tests or air raids to give

Support by Voters of
Referendum As

ROZFMAN. Oct 10. - Because
Montana State college needs more
buildings for the students it has
nov and for the inevitable increase
after the war, it Is asking for
Favorable vote on Referendum As to
provide these buildings, says w. M.
Cobleigh, newly appointed presi-
dent in his first official request to
TIE people of Montana.
"The people of Montana can be
assured that Montana State college
has no intention of constructing
new buildings until after the war,
Cobleiph says. when war was de-
clared, we realized that the No. !
lob was winning and that we should
do nothing to interfere with that eff
fort Therefore we asked the State
Board of Examiners which will is
sue the bonds authorized by a fa-
yorable vote on Referendum As, to
delay issuing bonds until after the
war. The board agreed, so con-
struction cannnt start until after
the war
Our need for buildings is criti-
cal. This was determined by a
special investigating committee from
the last legislature which visited
our college and recommended the
s69O.O0O bond measure for con-
struction, repair, remodeing and
equipping of buildings here. The
legislature followed this recon-
mendation and that is why the meas

To Strengthen Out
Droft Confusion

HELENA, Oct q. : Governor
Sam C. Ford today issued a state
ment regarding the operation of the
Selcotive Service in Montana. The
statement follows.
The confusion existing In the
minds OF tire people Of Montana
concerning the working Of the Sc
lective Service Act prompts me to
attempt, 10 clear up some of the
misunderstanding regarding the OPP
Grafton of the draft law in Mon
tana.
i have been working and will
continue to work in conjunction
with national and state headquar-
ters of the Selective Service to see
that the Montana draft quota is adj
justed to the national scale and
that Montana is not Disseminated
against. Because of our efforts and
the great number of voluntary en-
listments in the armed forces, the
Montana quotas for November and
December show reduction Of APP
proximately so per cent over the
quotas for September, October, and
preceding months. This means that
in so far as possible the November
and December calls will be for sim
Gle men only, and we hope that by
January the national scene will be
such that it will not be necessary
to call for some time married men
who were married before Pearl
Harbor or at a time when their
induction was not imminent.
1T is my conviction that a ma
tional pool of manpoWer should be
established Immediately in order
that married men should not be
called in one state before single,
non deferred men are called in 9TH
er states. The enactment of such a
\ law would prevent discrimination
4 and would insure the retention of
essential men in Montana for neces-
sary work on farms, in mines, and
in essential occupations. | am urg-
ing that this proposal be placed in
! legislation pending in Congress and
\ have written members of Congress
requesting that such action be TAX
en- at once.
National and State Selective
4 Service Headquarters have been en-
tirely cooperative in working out a
solution to our Montana problems.
1 We are attempting to see to 1t that
no married men are called except
those married when their induction
was imminent or after the declara-
ton of war. This is impossible in
certain counties where there are
no single men available and where
induction notices have already been
mailed Temporarily, however, the
\ States quota will be allocated to
u these counties which have single
men available for call"
