week, with little advance notice
given, under plans announced
today by Commissioner Young, met

tor.
Just how much advance notice
will be given will depend on instruc-

Mr.. Young said District OCD ofh-
cials now are awaiting word from
these Army officials.
The blackout will be of 80 minutes
duration, under present plans
The idea of night time AFRAID
test without the customary advance
notice, instructions and preparations
was based on the theory that Wash
ington has had sufficient prepara-
ton and training to undergo an
unexpected drill.
While there are fears that some
residents might become unduly ex-
cited, District OCD officials said they
believed this would not be serious
Anyway, they said, should the enemy
attack Washington worse conditions

More than $50 Washington stall
warts started learning today how to
minimize the damage unexploded
bombs can do to civilian morale and
the war effort.
These bomb reconnaissance
agents, as they are called, will not
dispose OF the menacing gifts from
the enemy. That's the job of Army
bomb disposal experts.
But they will know how to detect
them. their size particularly, and
whether the hole they see in the
ground was caused by an unexploded
bomb or just an anti-aircraft shell.
Most of the men who reported to
the Departmental Auditorium this
morning for two-day course have
already had 46 hours of bomb scout

AS outlined today, here's what

The citizen reports to an AFRAID

who tells the control center what he

bomb reconnaissance agent is dis

after an air raid, since rain or snow
might cover valuable clues.

Judge MargoId Warns
Attorneys Against
.Continuances
Pleas for HoIdover Must
Be Received Three Doys
In Advance, He Says

Judge Nathan R. Margold in jury
branch of Municipal Court today
served notice on attorneys that he
intended to begin cases Immediately
unless written application is made
three days in advance requesting
reassignment based on justiflable
reasons.
The jurist said that since he went
into the jury branch last Friday he
has been faced, in his estimation,
with too many requests for continu-
ances.
In giving warning of the new sys-
tenn, Judge Margold said it would
become effective July u and that
request for continuance of cases
docketed for that date must be made
by July %. The extra day of grace
in this instance, he explained. was
because of an intervening Sunday.
Judge Margold said he was taking
this action in an effort to clear the
overcrowded court schedule, as well
as to save as much time as possible
for witnesses and other interested
parties Now, there should be little
time lost from work by those who
are called in by either defense or
prosecution, he said.
He suggested no cases be placed
on the calendar until full assurance
has been obtained that both sides
are ready for trial. He added the
prosecution should investigate be-
forehand as to the readiness of the
case before attempting a docket as
signment.
IF an attorney is not ready. ht

Julian D. Simpson OF the Cherry

that the Arnold buses continue to
enter the District and be given ad-

and M. H. Stockett of Lyon Village,
who expressed his opposition as an
individual.
Mr.. Dieh' said he had not seen
any puolic statement expressing the
streetcar company's attitude, but it
was his opinion that transit ofi-
cials would favor the Van Duzer
plan. He said the commission had
word from executives of the Arnold
company expressing their opposi-
ton.
Harry A. Grant, new member of
the commission, said: I'VE are not

A suggestion that Virginia buses

Where to Look for Clues.
II the hole is 8 to II inches, the

may be a dud or 1t may be a de-
ayed-action bomb, but there's no
way of knowing that. Parts OF the
tailfins lying nearby may give clue
Then there's another important
decision for the agent to make. How
should this bomb be CLASSIFIED? II
it's near a war production factory or
possibly at the door of the Capitol
it deserves priority over bomb In

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
CUP)-Rep. j. Percy Priest,
D., Tenn, today introduced
legislation which would au-
thoriZe the President to order
men and women to serve in jobs
where they would be most useful IN
prosecution of the war.
Priests bill was similar to one in

President Roosevelt Ito provide for

resources, industrial and other pro-

Of its tthe nationS) citizens.
Chairman Paul V. McNutt OF the
War Manpower commission told the
house agriculture committee yester-
day that the administration would
make certain recommendations to
congress in the near future on a
universal service act. Priests bill
was not sponsored by the admins
tration, however.
Meantime Chairman Hampton P.
Fulmer, D., S. c., announced that
the house agriculture committee
would not wait for administration
recommendations but would proceed
at once to write a bill dealing with
the farm labor shortage. He made
the announcement after McNutt had
testified
McNutt, who previously said tina,
he considers a national service act
inevitable" sad that the VINO
no longer is able to persuade
workers to move voluntarily from
one job to another or to remain or
the farm.
Fulmer said the farm labor prob
lem had become 80 acute" that tbs
committee felt compelled to proceed
on its own initiative to sponsor 9
eli as soon as it can be drawn.
The farmers need help now sc
that they can make their plans fol
next year. Fulmer said. If we
wait a few weeks they may decide
that we aren't going to help them
at all, and they'll choose what they
believe to be the only course oper
to them-plan on curtailed crops il
