SOUGHT for D. {. Police

An appeal for 1900 additional
auxiliary policemen has been made
by Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superin-
tendent of police, in a move to
strengthen the organization for
civilian defense purposes and better

$3.50 auxiliary policemen. The num-
Der would have been much higher
had it not been for the loss of about
2,5O0 to the armed services, he said.
He explained that most auxiliary
policemen are engaged in daytime
work and therefore are not available
for daytime trafiic control duty, but
that many Of the men have been
doing volunteer work In the eve
ninss.- He plans to assign many
more Of them to such work because
Of the increasing tranic toll.

War Emergency
Radio Service
Planned for DC.
Friede Maps System
To Supplement OCD
Phone Connections

Development of a wartime emer.
gency radio service for this Metro
politan Area. to supplement tele-
phonic connections used in the OCD
communication control system, is
under way, it was revealed today by
Herbert A. Friede, communications
controller.
Acting with the authority of the
Commissioners, Mr.. Friede appealed
to the public to donate at once any
and all unused or even "junked" ra-
dio receiving sets which will be torn
down for parts to be used in build
ing "a large number" of two-way
radios to be employed in the sup
Elemental system.
Donors are asked to take their sets
to any of the District fire stations.
from which they will be collected
by volunteers who will build the
sending and receiving sets.
Hams to Be Enlisted in Work.
The work is to be performed by
amateur radio operators on a vol
untary basis. Mr.. Friede said he
hoped to enlist 200 or 300 amateurs
or mans IN this work.
The plan here is part of a ma
tlonal program, and it was
announced that the Federal Conn
munications Commission had ap-
proved the program and had pro-
vided for secret frequencies to be
used by this special service, under
the War Emergency Radio Service
regulations.
District OCD officials have in
mind the possibility that in case of
an enemy attack on metropolitan
areas, bombs may blast cables or
buildings and disrupt telephone
service. The District Police and
FIRE Departments already have
tWo-Way radio equipment, but a
much broader coverage is planned.
Mr.. Friede said his organization
planned to build as many of the.
tWo-Way sets AS possible. with the
loea OF setting up a supplemental
communications system, which. il
necessary, could take over the entire
load.
George w. Bailey Named Aide.
Commissioner Young, civilian de-
tense co-ordinator for this Metro-s
lolltan Area, has appointed George
w. Bailey of the ONCE of Scientific
Research and Development as radio.
aide for the service. and Miss Eliz-
abeth M. Zandonini of the Bureau
OF Standards as deputy radio aide.
Mr. Bailey is president of the Amer
lcan Radio Relay League. a national
organization of $4,000 radio hams"
Mr.. Friede asked for donations
OF all kinds of radio sets. even those
in unavoidable condition, including
portable battery sets, automobile
radios, as well as those of the more
standard models. The organization
does not have priorities on ma
terlals and hopes to receive suf-
flclent donations to cover the need.
Radio engineers who will do the
rebuilding work, it was said, will
have the advice and assistance of
FEC engineers.
Enlistment of the radio hams"
IN this work will be the principal
subject of a meeting of the WASH
lngton Radio Club at pm. Sat-
urday in room 3l2. YMCA.

Bill 10 Aid Independent
Tire Dealers Approved

Legislation which Senator Ellen
der. Democrat, of Louisiana de-
clared would help keep 100000 inde-
pendent tire dealers in business by
making them official tire inspectors
and giving them the exclusive right
to sell and service tires and tubes.
was approved by the Senate Bank
ing Committee yesterday.
Proponents said the purpose OF
the measure was to protect the
small dealers from competition with
the big rubber companies and mall
order houses in the limited retail
trade caused by the war. They con-
tend the larger firms have sufficient
war business to keep them going.
The rubber director, William M.
Jeffers, would be authorized to &C
quire by purchase or requisition, for
the purpose of transferring it to in
dependent dealers, any equipment
for repairing, recapping or retread-
ing tires installed since December 8,
l941, provided that he should find
that such equipment is in excess OF
the requirements of the service area
In which 1t is located.
