Jobs like tnat are being done every

front line of home defense, that
men and women are now being

COP Gains 10 Benefit
Nation, Tydings Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY Ine hSSUCldlSu I-tGoS'
BALTIMORE. Nov. 9.-Senator
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
believes that results OF last Tues
days election-which saw the Re-
publicans gain many seats in both
houses of Congress-will result to
the national good.
In an address over Radio Station
WBAL, Senator Tydings said:
Now, with the parties more
equally divided in both branches Of
Congress, the national welfare
should be better served. The party
margin in Congress is now too mar
row for either side to be reckless in
what it does. The people have
shown they are on the alert. They
have served notice on all that they
expect a better brand of law max
ing and administration, particularly
during the war, than they have
been getting in cases up to now"
The Senator said he considered
"the failure Of the administration
to conduct the National Govern
ment with more efficiency and
economy in the face of heavy taxes
and large expenditures" to have
been one of the principal causes of
the Republican upsurge.

Drill to Be Umpired
! By Inspector Generals
Department Of Area

Umpires to check on the speed
and efficiency of protective services
in handling incidents will be dis
patched to disaster scenes reported
by Wardens in the OCD training
exercises scheduled for November 18.
The exercises are scheduled for
every Wednesday night, but this
weeks test has been shifted to
Thursday night because of the
Armistice Day anniversary. This
weeks exercise, however. will be on
smaller scale than the program
planned for next week.
The public Will take no part in the
November 18 exercises which will
utilize one shift of the warden serv-
ice, auxiliary police and flremen,
medical. transportation, utilities,
public works, rescue and bomb units.
Setup of Umpires.
Next weeks exercises will be UNI
pired by the inspector generals de-
partment of the Metropolitan Area
assisted by warden service details
Stationed at The main control center
will be Brig. Gen. C. D. Roberts,
inspector general; Col Consuelo A.
Seoane, assistant chief umpire and
umpire for communications, and
Col. H. II. Baily, umpire for the
medical service
Senior umpires will be sent tc
each subcontrol center and their
assistants will go to the scenes
Of incidents to keep record of the
time of reports made by wardens
and arrival of apparatus and per-
sonnel and to make decisions as
to the adequacy Of the measures
taken in response to the warden s
call.
The exercises will feature various
types of incidents. One group,
called training incidents, will be
reported by wardens simply for
their own practice and that of the
control centers. When these in
cidents are sent to wardens they
will be marked for their informa-
tlon with notice that equipment
will not respond to their call.
The second group comes under
the heading of urgent incidents and
will be stamped important" When
Wardens report these incidents they
will include in their message the
words response urgent" That will
be the go-ahead signal for control
centers to dispatch squads and
equipment.
Will Use Messengers.
Another group of incidents
handled by wardens will bear the
legend report by messenger" In
such cases, it will be assumed that
the telephone is not working and a
message will be carried by a warden
messenger to the nearest control
center.
Although no sirens will be sound
ed, members of the protective serv-
ices will 60 on duty at pm. and
1t will be assumed that the all clear
is sounded at 9 pm. Control CEN
ters will remain open till 10 pm. to
finish their reports.
A critique will be held by the
senior umpire at each control center
as soon as he obtains the reports
of his assistants and a general
critique will be held later, probably
in connection with the meeting to
give instructions on the next train
ing exercises in the three month
series.
All heads Of services and all UNI
pires are scheduled to meet Friday
at 8 pm. at the Toner School to
make plans for the November 18

Capital Transit Co. officials today
reported definite speeding up" of
it's service to the Pentagon Building
in Arlington County, with the use
for the first time of the huge bus
terminal in the building and the in
PRODUCTION of a new fare collection
system.
No fares were collected at the
Washington terminal of the Penta-
gon buses at Nineteenth and G
streets NV. Instead passengers
paid the fare in special boxes after
leaving the buses in the Pentagon
terminal. This innovation alone
served to expedite loading and un-
loading. Another factor which con-
tributed to faster service was re-
routing of the buses over some of
the new roads leading to the build
ing.
The same plan is followed on the
return trip, the only difference being
that passengers pay the fare into
the special boxes in the terminal
before boarding a bus. In both
cases the driver is relieved of COL
lecting fares and making change.
Enter on Ground Level.
The buses enter the terminal on
a ground level roadway at the
southern end of the building and
come out at the opposite end The
terminal has two roadways, one of
which taxicabs eventually will be
allowed to use. It's entire length is
under the second floor of the build
ing, assuring passengers protection
from the weather.
In some respects the terminal re-
sembles a New York subway sta
ton, and the handling of passengers
is about the same. 1t is well lighted
from end to end.
The operation works something
like this. A passenger boards a bus
at Nineteenth and C streets without
fumbling in his pocket for change
Arriving at the Pentagon Building
he leaves the bus and walks up a
stairway to the second floor. There
two conductors with fare boxes COL
lect the fare On the return trip the
passenger drops his fare in the fare
box on the second floor. goes down
the stairway to the loading platform
and boards bus.
Three stairWays are in use now.
Eventually IA will be open as the
population of the Pentagon Building
reaches its estimated peak of 10000.
Additional Trip Possible.
Dean j. Locke, staff engineer OF
the transit company, who observed
the operation of the new system to-
gether with other company officials
and representatives of the War De-
partment, said "all movements had
been speeded up" and as a result
some of the buses would be able to
make an additional trip each morn
ing and afternoon-something they
have heretofore been unable to do.
Since introduction of the plan was
new to both passengers and bus
drivers, Mr.. Locke said there we're a
few kinks in the first days opera
tions. but these obviously will be
ironed out as the drivers become
fully acquainted with the new roads
and the passengers with the new
system Of paying fares.

quently have trouble getting checks

employees now are paid by cash and
the expanded cash payments will

gered schedule of paydays is in op-

been set.
Shift for Several Agencies.
Several agencies now paid on the
18th and last days Of the month
will be shifted over to the 9th and

started November is.
These include plate printers and
their assistants at the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing; Commerce
Department, Federal Trade Com
mission, Civil Service Commission,
National Archives, Smithsonian In
gtitution and Federal Works Agency.
The change will mean that the
pay for November % will be half the
usual size as it will include only
the time from the middle of the
month.
Planning of Spending Urged.
In bringing this to the attention
of the employees today, the Civil
Service Commission said that be-
cause of this short payroll, which
also is expected to be delayed some
what because of the administrative
problems involved in the change,
''every employe is urged at this time
to plan his personal expenditures in
such way that undue hardship
will not be occasioned during the
interim period Immediately prior to
the establishment of the new pay
date"
The commission said also that
deductions for the purchase of War
bonds will not be made from this
short pay.
The revised schedule of paydays
was approved by the President as an
effort to spread more equally the
problem created by the distribution
which now covers nearly 300, 900 men
and women.
