The motor corps of the A. w. "
S. has had details in all the various
defense and community agencies
and has considered it great oppor-

assist these agencies in carrying on
their duties in the defense effort.
owing to the difficulties and
press of work of these agencies many
of their employees who have been
paid for their services during the

long hours overtime The A. w. v.

A.W.V.S. Motor Corps
Ends Taxi Service
After Protests
o. c. D. Attempt to
Exploit Organization
Denied by Miss Phipps

The American Women's Voluntary
Services this week ended its trans
portation work for the Office of
Civilian Defense, after the resigna-
tion Of one very valuable member
of the motor corps" and protests
from others, 1t was learned yester-
day.
Termination of what objectins
drivers have called taxi service"
was not her own idea, however.
Miss Anita Phipps, president of the
A. w. v. S., emphasized. She said
it was suggested by Mai. Gen. L. D.
Gasser, o. C. D. official, to save the
tires and gasoline of her drivers.
o. c. D. has never attempted to
exploit" the women's motor corps,
she declared.
The resignation of Miss Helen
O'Connor from the motor corps was
submitted Indignantly on the night
Of January 9-immediately after she
used her private car to drive four
young women from o. C. D. head
quarters in the Dupont Circle Apart
ments to their homes, 1t was re-
vealed yesterday.
Put on Emergency" Duty.
Miss O'Connor said she had put in
q full days work on her own job in
the Department Of Justice when
she was phoned and ordered to the
emergency duty.
Picking the young women up at
about 10:15 pm, she delivered them
to various points Of the city and
returned home. about midnight, she
said. During the trip she learned
that her passengers were o. C. D.
employees assigned to the late shift,
she declared
Miss O'Connor is daughter of
George H. O'Connor, president Of
the District Title Insurance Co.
Mrs. John Sternhagen motor
corps chief, explained that the
duties to which Miss O'Connor and
others objected were tried out for
only one week. She understood the
passengers were volunteers, not EN-.
ployes.
Miss Phipps' Statement.
Miss Phipps issued formal state
ment on the incident yesterday
which said:
Miss Helen O'Connor was a very
valuable member of the motor corps

A Thought for Today


The City of Waterbury cannot fail to
have a surplus at the end of the current
years business on the basis of the new
grand list figures. Just submitted to
Mayor Vincent A. Scully they show that
the city's grand list is now close to $780,
100000. This is the largest in the his
tory Of the city. Furthermore the list
is about $800,000 more than what was es-
timated in preparing the 1912 budget. In
short taxes will be paid on grand list
of $178, ,058, but the budget estimates
were based on taxes to be paid on grand
list of $178,000,000. All Of which means
that tax income over and above estim-
ates will constitute part of the surplus.
There doesn't seem to be any likelihood
right now that there will be falling Off
in the payment of taxes locally this year.
Every indication is that the fine records
of the past few years, up around SO per
cent, will continue. This is reflection
both on administration methods and the
willingness of the taxpayer to cooperate.
With such fine prospect ahead finan-
cially and with the city embarked on a
heavy public improvement program Wa
terbury can with all due modesty feel
rather proud. 1t can also, resolve to be
prepared for any emergency that might
arise and which might easily upset the
present pleasant picture.

On Protective Custody

Alien Japanese are discovering "pro-
tective custody" in the United States is
quite different from the brand they are
familiar with at home and in the coun-
tries of their axis partners. Over here it
isn't a grinly ironical phrase that calls
up tragic stories of concentration camps
and seizure and slaughter 1t actually de-
notes protection and guardianship. These
aliens are being removed from the Cali
fornia seacoast to an established military
zone by a government that is standing
by with all possible assistance.
1t has established agencies to shield
them from forced sales and sharp
creditors, to help them operate their
farms, to store their goods, to assist and
advise them in selling or leasing their
property. This is decent and orderly fair
dealing, but it's should not be mistaken for
softness or laxity The pursuit OF SUBJ
versive action continues. Meanwhile,
these aliens may we'll be thankful they
are in country where race or color is
not in itself an invitation to plumber, and
where a man-even in war time-enjoyS
the full protection of law as long as he
deserves it.
