A Quadruple expanded pro-
gram for training Civilian De-
tense fire watchers and auxili-
airy firemen will in all probable
ity get under way soon as a di-
rect result of the invention and
use by the Germans of a new
type incendiary bomb of unSs-
ual fiendishness. the nastiest
thing the nasty Nazis have
thought up yet.
What ii amounts to is the ad-
dition of a delayed action hand
grenade to the old type ! kilo-
gram or % pound incendiary
bomb. The delayed action may
amount to seven minutes and is
controlled by a time fuse. If a
fire watcher, fireman, air raid
warden or ordinary household
er spots one of these bombs and
goes close enough to 1t to try to
put out the fire by the usual
methods of water spray, tongs,
or a bag of sand. he may succeed
in stopping the fire, only to have
the hand grenade attachment 90
off in his face.
On the other hand, il this new
type bomb is let alone, the fire
is successfully started. There you
have the reasons for the need OF
all new OCD training.
First of these new fire bombs
were dropped on England late in
August. Not being prepared for
this new and fancy improve
ment, the British auxiliary fire
men proceeded to put out the
fire in the usual way. Not every
bomb had this grenade or bomb
attachment - just one to the

Before getting back before the

Hollywood Canteen.
She and Bill Gargan have a
skit that should be a sensation.
Paulette plays the role of a
strip-tease dancer. She wears a
black satin evening dress minus
back, front and sides (wow.)
and a long pair of gloves.
When the soldiers begin to
tear down the place, Gargan
says Whats the matter, haven't
you guys ever seen pair of
gloves before?"
Paulette wore the black satin
evening dress minus the back,
front and sides (wow!) a couple
of times while selling bonds.
But when someone bid $4,000
for Paulette, instead of a bond,
she periodically kept the dress
at the bottom of her trunk Cor

Like all of Hollywood's super
bond saleswomen. Miss God
dard had some interesting ex-
periences on the road.
Topper came one night when
she was taken by the mayor of
an eastern city to the water
front and stopped in front of a
saloon. Paulette's studio body
guard objected. The mayor said
there was nothing to worry
about.
They walked through the
saloon to a room in the back.
What did the boys in the back
room want? They wanted to
buy bonds.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

dozen or so - enough to cause
some 200 casualties.
In Britain the new bombs
were given the name of A. p. /.
or Anti-Personnel Incendiary.
To the British the problem of
dealing with these new A. p. Us
hasn't been so very difficult.
There all the air raid wardens
and fire wardens are experience
ed. so the only step necessary
was to issue new instructions to
the old hands to be on the look
out for this new weapon. Il is
difficult to spot the occasional
A. p. /. bomb, its only difference
from the ordinary incendiary
being that the new bomb is FL
inches long instead of II and
weighs five pounds instead of
two.
zoo FRAGMENTS
It's this extra four inches and
three pounds of bomb that
makes the difference. When II
explodes 1t breaks into 200 frag-
ments of metal which burst up
and out for a radius of 20 yards
or so. 1t will shatter an ordinary
door, 60 through a plaster and
partition wall. At close range,
you're fairly safe behind a four
inch brick wall.
If you're caught near one of
these babies, the safe thing is to
flatten out behind the brick wall
20 yards or more away, and il
you feel like playing the hose
on the fire while waiting for the
bomb to 60 off, expose only one
hand at a time.
So far, there are only a few
of these new A. p. I. bombs in
the United States. Marc Peter,
Jr., attached to the American
embassy in London as observer
for the Office of Civilian De-
tense, brought them back re-
Gently with full information
The British have played the
bomb down so far, with one
brief announcement in the news
papers about six weeks ago, SO
as not to make it scare story.
But to the United States, as
yet unbombed, this A. p. I. pre-
sents a different problem and it
is no petty dispute similar to all
the domestic hullabaloo kicked
up recently over jet VS.. spray VS..
dunking as the best method to
put out an incendiary. This is a
real problem of training for the
Civilian Protection branch of
OCD under Brig. Gen. u. S.
Grant III and Col. Augustine
Janeway, chief of the training
section.
100000 TRAINED
Around ESQ, 900 auxiliary fire
men have been given brief train
ing in handling ordinary incen-
diary bombs, and these ESQ., 900
have in turn gone back to pass
on this training to others in
their home communities of the
target area - roughly a strip
200 miles inland from the sea
coasts. But with the new A. p. /.
bomb menace, it might be nee
essary to train up to four fire
fighters to every block in the
target area. Roughly, that would
mean training about two million
civilian bomb putter-outers. 1t
might mean making fire lady
out of the wife, nom, and the
girl friend.
This particular problem isn't
considered acute on the west
coast. The Japs haven't used
magnesium bombs because they
haven't enough magnesium. Out
west all they have to worry
about are the Jap 100-pOund in
cendiary bombs of phosphorus
and oil, which explode on i'm
