One Of the disappointments, not
too big, always has been that some
people missed the point OF what a
critic really wants In this world /.
That's respect. the respect Of every
one with whom he deals but most
especially the people who read his
judgments -. He does not expect
them to agree with him always p. !.
Criticism is personal opinion, too
-. If it is respectable and respect
ed, that is what counts, not mere
confirmation, nor disagreement.

NEW YORK, April IA (R).-Con-

Lands and La Guardia
Continue Exchange
Over Civilian Defense
Director Says Mayors
Specifications Had to
Be Greatly Revised

Controversy between James M
Lands, director of Civilian Defense,
and Mayor La Guardia Of New York,
former director, continued late yes
terday with charges and counter
charges.
In formal statement issued here
Mr.. Lands said he found specif1ca-
tions for civilian defense equipment
were in such shape that they had
to be substantially revised" with the
aid of the War Production Board.
The revision, he said, was because
they used altogether too much crit
ical material"
Mr. Lands expressed his views In
a statement which did not mention
Mayor La Guardia by name, but
followed an assertion by the New
York Mayor that Dean Lands had
been lax in providing civilian de-
fense equipment to municipalities.
especially New York. The Mayor
had said appropriations were OBJ
tanned before I resigned on Febru-
airy 10 and specifications were COM
pleted."
In New York. Mayor La Guardia
apparently continued his contro-
versy, begun last Sunday, by radio
speech yesterday.
Il want to inform the civilian
defense office that you cannot put
out a fire with an arm band" he
said. You cannot bandage a
wounded and injured person with an
arm band. - Not one piece of
equipment has been delivered. Not
one pumper, not one stirrup pump,
no medical supplies"
The Mayors rap at the national
organization was only part of the
controversy over civilian protection
in the city. Fuel was added to the
fire by 1t. Gov. Charles Poletti of
New York, who asserted in a speech
at a luncheon of National, State and
city civilian defense officials that
local directors should be full-time
executives and not Mayors whose
duties include meeting people and
making speeches"

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer urged citizens to remain in
doors during the blackout unless
it is absolutely necessary" to ven-
ture on the streets.
This applies especially to pedes-
trians," he said. Although such
emergency vehicles as may be oper-

regulations and whether driving or
walking, get to the nearest doorway
or other shelter and remain there"
Warnings to Motorists.
At the same time, j. A. Brown,
director of District Defense Trans
portation, advanced these warnings
to motorists:
l. "All motorists and others on the
highway should move with the ut
most caution and in strict obedience
of traffic regulations. When the
signal sounds, motorists should move
to the curb and seek shelter. Cars
should be left unlocked with key
in ignition. Hating of cars not
equipped with emergency stickers
will be a safeguard against car
thefts.
2. "All persons who are not on
business or who find it necessary to
be away from homes should remain
indoors. Keep street trafic-motor
and pedestrian-to a minimum.
8. Abuse of privileges in the use
of emergency stickers for those Off
cially active in the blackout tests

Drive 10 Organize
D. {. Area Farmers
Planned byLewis
Conference Tuesday May
Launch c. |. O. Move to
Enroll Milk Producers

Steps will be taken soon to organ
ize dairy farmers in the Washington
milkshed as unit of John l.. Lewis
United Mine Workers Union &C. I
o., it was disclosed today by Ralph
H. Marlatt, director of organization
of the dairy farmers division OF
District so.
Plans for the organization drive
he indicated, probably will be made
at a conference here Tuesday of re-
gional directors of District so, a
division of the mine union which
takes in all classes of workers from
munitions makers to perfume dis
tillers. The ultimate goal of the
drive is reported to be the enroll
ment Of 100000 dairy farmers.
Many dairy men in the Washing
ton milkshed are members of the
Maryland-Virginia Milk Producers
Association which supplies the Dis
trict with more than 80 per cent OF
its milk. They are scattered through.
out Maryland, Virginia and parts OF
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Michigan Demands Cited.
In Flint, Mich, where the Lewis
Dairy Farmers Union got its start
demands are being made for closed
shop contract under which 27 milk
distributors would be compelled tc
buy milk from its members. The
union claims IS per cent of the farm
ers in the Flint region, but the
Michigan Milk Producers Association
says 1t has only Is per cent.
Under the unions program every
bottle of milk would bear a union
label. The label would signify that
the milk had been produced by a
union farmer. handled exclusively
by union labor at the receiving anc
pastuerizing plants and delivered by
a union driver. No dealer who re-
fused to commit himself to buy all
his milk from union farmers would
be permitted to use the label.
Efforts to organize the farmers ir
the Washington milkshed will meet
with failure. it was predicted by
Representative Smith, Democrat, Of
Virginia, dairy farmer himself.
I'VE don't need any union of dairy
farmers here" he declared.
Resistance Encountered.
Already stiff resistance to the
drive has come from some of the
the Nations major farm organiza-
tions. An attack on the program
is scheduled to be made by repre-
sentatives of these groups Friday
before a House Judiciary subcom-
mittee when it considers legislation
described as intended to end "racke-
teering" by labor unions.
Edward A. ONeil, president of the
American Farm Bureau, one of the
farm organizations involved, de-
scribed the Lewis dairy farmer drive
as racket" and said he and other
farm group leaders would appear
before the subcommittee to support
legislation to provide for the prose-
cution of labor rackets.
Kathryn Lewis, daughter of Mr.
Lewis and secretary-treasurer OF
District so, declared the views OF
the farm leaders were ridiculous. >
She said the best answer" was that
more than 10000 dairymen have
joined since the drive was started
because we are their friend and
because we can help them get what
they are entitled to-a fair price for
their milk

Fire Prevention Week
President ProcIoims Observance
For Nation Beginning October 4

President Roosevelt, calling on all
Americans to take active meas
ures" to conserve the Nations re-
sources from the destructive toll
Of fire," today proclaimed the week
beginning October as Fire Pre-
vention Week
The text Of the Presidents procla-
nation follows:
ANY loss of human life, any in
reference with production, any loss
of critical materials hinders and
impedes our war effort
Uncontrolled fire, even in nor
NAL times, is a national menace. It
kills or disables thousands Of our
people and destroys q significant
portion of our national wealth each
year.
Asks Vigilance Of All.
To-day, when every machine is
being taxed to its fullest productive
capacity, when new hands are work
ing with unfamiliar tools, and
when agents of our enemies are
seeking to hinder us by every pos
sible means. 1t is essential that de-
structive fire be brought under
control In order that victory may
be achieved at the earliest date.
Nothing less than the united
vigilance and effort of all the peo-
pie will suffice to break the grip Of
