Wallace Holds Up
Pan-Americaniism as
Ideal for World
II Republics Observe
SD Anniversary Of
Founding Of Union
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Vice President Wallace, marking
the SD anniversary of the Pan
American Union, said today that
pan -AmericaniSm is an ideal which
transcends this hemisphere and
which can serve as pattern for an
international society where people
can live and work in freedom, in
friendship and in peace"
He added however, that unless
this ideal were upheld with "a strong
unity within the Americas now in
times of danger, we shall not have
necessary moral and material capac-
ity to assume the leadership for a
just and charitable peace after the
danger is past"
The Vice President referred in a
formal statement to the good neigh
Dor policy as the direct opposite of
that fallacious notion that the great
ness of any one country should be
based on the limitations and weak
nesses of other countries"
Aligned Against Axis.
The 81 nations of the union OBJ
served its anniversary almost unani-
nous in opposition to the Axis.
Representatives of the American
republics met with President Roose-
welt at the White House in cele-
bration of the day.
Simultaneous observances of this
traditional Pan-American day will
take place elsewhere throughout the
hemisphere-from Seattle to San
tiago and from Boston to Buenos

Each country will have special
celebrations. In the United States

Fire Care|essness
Called Sabotage
By0cD Director
Londis, in Talk Opening
Prevention Week, Cites
MiIIion-o-Doy Loss

Carelessness concerning fire risk
must be classed as an act of sabo-
tage in time of war, declared James
M. Lands, director of the Office of
Civilian Defense, as National Fire
Prevention Week opened yesterday.
Sponsored this year by OCD, Fire
Prevention Week is serving a dual
purpose-eradication of fire hazards
and collection of additional salvage
able materials from every type Of
building.
Citing numerous cases where care
lessness led to huge fire losses
damaging to the war effort, Direc-
tor Lands said the fire loss drain
on national economy has reached
nearly 100000 a day. During the
first six months of this year, he
said, speaking over Station WRC,
the national fire loss.w So, ,O00,O00
greater than for the corresponding
perod, Of -1941. The Nations, loss
for 1941 was $302 ,985 900. 80
Valuable Materials Lost.
But losses today cannot be meas
ured in terms of dollars, he said.
Valuable materials have gone up
In flames and war conditions pre-
vent their replacement, he added.
OCD, realizing that fire is. one
OF the Nations chief enemies, has
devoted much energy to preparing
against possible widespread blazes
Ready to assist civilian fire depart
ments in the event of fires are some
5000 900 trained workers, he said
Director Lands said that it is
the patriotic duty of every one to
take all possible steps to prevent
fires and carelessness should be
stamped out for the duration.
Auxiliary Police to Help.
In connection with fire prevention
week, Maj. Edward j. Kelly, super
1ntendent Of police, called attention
to the role to be played by auxiliary
police in helping to prevent the
spread of fire IN emergencies.
Pointing out that the auxiliary
police have been trained to assist
regular police in performance OF
many of their duties, he said that
should the occasion arise, the helr
OF auxiliary police will prevent in
terference with the work of the
fire fighters and in other ways will
support the efforts of those engaged
in fire defense"

Diplomats to Take Part.
Symbolic of the unity and inter.
national scope of the Community

the head table of foreign diplomats
from the Embassies and Legations Of
the Allied countries whose foreign
relief appeals have become part Of
the campaign goal. Federal Securi-
ty Administrator Paul v. McNutt
also will be among the guests.
The goal concerns five major
groups which have united their
campaigns in the War Fund to make
single appeal for support of their
services in 1943. They are the USO,
both national and local, budgeted
for $597,776; eight foreign war re-
lief organizations, $500 9,461; Com
munity Chests of Washington and
nearby Maryland and Virginia

$356,361, and a contingency fund of
$264,977, set up for the purpose Of
meeting emergeicies or unforeseen
needs which may arise during 1913.
The Advance Gifts Unit Of nearly
200 carefully selected unpaid volun-
teers will endeavor to complete their
share toward raising the Community
War Fund goal between today and
October IS, so as to be ready to re-
port their full qpetac by. the time
| the city-wide drive opens.
.""A great responsibility rests upon
both workers and givers, and we are
prepared to make an all-out effort"
Mr.. Wilmer said in anticipation Of
the opening drive today. Every one
must realize that this is the single
campaign to supplant all other valid
drives for 1913. the only exceptions
being the Red Cross spring drive
and the Christmas seal sale. We
shall need the maximum In gen.
erosity from every one in order to
take care of the combined needs in
cluded In this War Fund"

opening of the Advance Gifts effort
will be coincidental with the Nation

Control C,enters
To Stage Final
Test Tonight
Emergency Vehicles
TO Be Dispatched to
Simulated Disasters

From ambulances to demolition
trucks, equipment will roll to-
night to the scenes Of simulated dis
asters In the climax of more than q
months control center training.
Most civilian defense forces In the
District will be partially or COM
pletely modified although the public
will not be involved in the test.
The difference between this final
test and the more than dozen that
have preceded 1t will be the compile
ton of the incident. Previously
dispatching officers have merely
marked on their reports what equip
nent would be dispatched.
The city's more than 1890 sector
posts will be alerted and approxi-
rnAtely 800 incidents will be sent to
the waiting wardens, who will make
their reports to control centers from
which equipment will be sent to the
scene.
STAFF Meeting This Afternoon.
In some services, every incident
will mean that apparatus will go
out. Other services will choose a
half dozen or more incidents for
their part in the test.
Details of the final control center
test were to be completed this
afternoon at a staff meeting OF
deputy controllers and chiefs OF
staff at the District Building.
DR.. John A. Reed said the entire
emergency medical service, from
"cabulances" to nurses aids, would
be modified and equipment will be
dispatched from all II medical
points, including the hospitals and
military establishments.
The medical crews will 60 directly
to the scenes of the simulated dis
asters. An example might be the
ater destroyed by high explosives OF
a burning apartment house. In the
absence of victims, the crews will
report at the scene and then go back
to await other calls.
Will Go Out on Incidents.
Public works squads also will reply
on a number of Incidents, although
they are hampered by delays in in
stalling telephones at squad posts
However, water and sewer crews
and demobilization crews will each
go out on one incident and the de-
contamination units will go out on
two incidents. In addition, public
works men assigned to the hospitals
will report to their posts.
Auxiliary and regular police will
be dispatched to half dozen OF
more scenes. In most cases regu-
lar policeman will be accompanied
by several auxt1ATaeB according to
Police Chief Edward j.. Kelly. In
addition to the regulars on the
street, Maj. Kelly has ordered a
number of auxiliaries to report to
their stations, from which they will
be dispatched to various scenes.
Rescue squad units will be mobil-
lied and some will go out on Incl
dents, Fire Chief Stephen Porter
said. No Fire Department equip
ment will be sent out, however,
since they don't need the practice
and don't like to take that chance
of having them away from their
stations" In any case, fire equip
ment is dispatched direct from fire
alarm headquarters and not from
the control centers.
Utility Chief C. Melvin Sharpe
said plans for dispatching utility ap-
paratus would be made later in the
day.
