Raid Wardens
Will Get New
Identity Cards
Must Pass Tests to
QuoIify, However,
MiIehom DiscIoses

The next step toward developing 4
super warden service" here viii be
the issuance of new identification
cards to qualified wardens, Chief Air
Raid Warden william ]. Milehan1
said yesterday.
When q majority Of the $4,000
wardens have been qualified, he dis
closed, the old identification cards
will be declared void.
Main step toward qualifying for q
new card Is passage Of the examin-
alton, which Is printed in The Star
today and which all members Of the
warden service eventually viii take.
Hundreds Never Took Training.
Mr.. Mileham explained that when
the warden service was being Or
ganized, hundreds Of wardens were
sworn In and handed identification
cards en- masse without ever taking
any training.
II warden can pass the examina-
ton and has working knowledge
Of the details suggested by each
question, MIR. Mileham said, the pub
lie can be assured they viii be good
wardens and can be relied on In
emergency.
A number Of the questions en-
phasize warden service organization,
since many wardens do not now
know to whom they are responsible.
A number have never even seen
their superior officers.
Form for Reports.
In addition to the examination
and the 10-hour first aid course that
also Is required, the wardens will
have to know how to make reports
Of incidents to the control centers.
These report forms are now being
prepared and will require about Is
minutes Of instruction.
The new Identification cards win
be much more elaborate than the
old ones, partially for the protection
1 Of wardens injured during air raids.
The cards will bear the signatures
Of Chief Mileham, the deputy war
den OF the area: the warden him
self, and the areas training director
who must certify that the warden
has passed the examination and
taken the first aid course.
Garry Thumb Print.
The cards also viii contain infor.
nation on the warden's age, weight,
height and color Of eyes and hair.
Each card will carry . picture Of
the warden and his thumb print.
The latter will not require going
through another formal finger
printing, but can be done, the air
raid warden chief said, by the in-
dividual warden or by some one elso
In his area trained to take prints.
| Those who cannot pass the exami-
| nation viii b required to take 3
| brief refresher course, after which
they win be given the same examt-
nation again.
| Mr.. MilehAm suggested that civ
ilians who would like to know the
answers to the questions should ask
their own warden. II he doesn't
know, said the warden chief, he will
make haste to discover the answer.

Colonel Harris asked one youngster his def
milton of an accident, and received the reply:
'An accident is something that can't happen
to me-" Our job, added the colonel, is to coa-

observe certain rules" These rules, of course,
are such as everybody employees for safety in

Colonel Harris finds that hiers returning
from overseas service are valuable addition
to the training program. These men, with ac-
tual experience in combat are taking over i'm

to turn out competent pilots in thirty nine
weeks instead of the former full year.

Buy More War Bonds

Note few figures from the federal treas
urys books at the close of the fiscal year and
see if it is not possible to find in them good
reason Tor increasing purchases of war bonds
When Secretary Morganthau closed his books
on June 81, the national debt was S76, ,586, ,O76,.
lo3. During the year federal expenditures had
amounted to s32, 900, 900, 900, receipts to $13,.
600, 900, 900, the deficit to SIG, ,0OO, ,00O, 900.
With only six and one-half months of actual
warfare, federal expenditures up to June 27
were S31, GAL 675, 387 with s22 OOo ooo 900 of the
total spent since Pearl Harbor. In June alone
expenditures were at the rate of 81 500 900 00O
or Sl5O,OOO,OO0 day. Taxes were coming in
only at the rate of $49, 900, 900 daily
In simpler terms, the war was costing ev-
erybody in the United States 81 Is dav with
the per capita tax only 81 cents day. The
difference was being borrowed by the treasury
For this fiscal year, war expenditures are
estimated at $67 OOO 900 OO0 Gross expenditures
are expected to total $751; ,O00, 1000, with re.
ceipts anticipated at $23, 900. The public
probably will rise to $13OOOO 900 o0O and the
deficit will probably be $780, 600, 900.
This money will have to be obtained bv one
means or another. 1t can be taken outright by
taxation, or most of it, as the national income
is expected to be $115 600 oooooo Or it can be
substantially raised through sales of war bonds.
War bond sales during the fiscal year just
closed fell far short of the peoples capacity to

tary Morgenthau is conservative when he urges
buyers to set the goal at $4,000 900 900 this

buy will not only pay approximately per cent,

Editorial Comment
SPLASHING THE RED PAINT
Christian Science Monitor

Is everyone who criticizes a congressman a
Communist? To assume so would give the
Communist Party several thousand times more
members than it has any claim to in the
United States. Yet this seems almost to be
implied in the most recent Especial report''
of the Dies Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities.
The report released first to certain isola-
zionist newspapers, charged that two maga-
zines of national circulation and standing were
Commuaist-inspired to undermine public con-
fldence in the representative form of govern
ment and that the Union for Democratic Action
was Communist organization plotting 'to
obliterate the Congress of the United States as
co-equal and independent branch"
One of these magazines, Time, had published
an article critical of congressional fumbling
the other, the New Republic, had surveyed the
voting record of Congress and concluded that
three members of the Dies Committee were
among number who should not be reelected
The Union for Democratic Action, composed of
political liberals and including some Socialists
is sufficiently far from being Communist that
at the time of its establishment it was attacked
vitriolically by the Communist Daily Worker
as minion of capitalism and imperialism
The characteristic Dies Committee methods
of publicizing aspersions on the patriotism of
groups of people without substantial inquiry
into the charges or giving the victims hear
ing are not methods that reflect credit on the
House of Representatives. There is little value
and much potential harm in trying to smear
with red paint anyone with whom the majority
of the committee disagrees.
Representative Jerry Voorhis accurately said
in a minority report as a member of the Com.
mittee: TT is Intellectual and undignified for
Congress or any committee of Congress to at
tempt to answer attacks by the mere assertion
that the attackers are not good Americans -

Contradictory, But Necessary

Two contradictory elements 60 into the max.

the proper proportions is the most difficult task

(Simon & Schuster; S2.75.)
Margaret Bourke-White and Frs
kline Caldwell, her husband, have
been back from Russia quite a
while - long enough for Mr.. Cald-
well to have published book, and
for the book to have gone over
the wheel. Miss Bourke White
brought back material for book

startled to see that it is mostly
text. There are plenty of photo
graphs, many of them first rate.
But Miss Bourke- Whites bosses
have found that even Life"

of text to be satisfactory, and ap-
parently she has decided that the
technique of the picture book also
has changed. She has written and
