College Youths,
Now in Reserve,
Face ArmyCaI|
Will Be Placed
On Duty When
Reaching Legal Age

College students who are men,
bers of the Army enlisted reserve
face call to active duty as soon
as they reach the minimum legal
age for service, Secretary of War
Stimson disclosed here today.
The legal age for service is now
20 years, but there is legislation be-
fore Congress to lower the age to
18. Secretary Stimson said the de-
cision had been reached because of
increasing demands for manpoWer.
Exigencies of War.
When the reserve was created,
students were told the War Depart
ment policy was to permit them to
complete their college courses, if
possible.
THE exigencies of the war have
now become SUCH" Secretary Slim
son said, that it is now expected
that by the end of the college term,
or semester beginning in September,
those student members of the re-
serve who have now reached selec-
tive service age will all, or for the
pdl DC SdllCQ W dCJlVe Quty
and those reaching that age during
subsequent terms will similarly be
called"
Secretary Stimson said the use of
Reserve Officer Training Corps units
was under consideration to give the
student Reservists concentrated mil
itary training when they are called
up.
Asks Schools to Garry On.
The War Secretary said he had
advised educators in the meantime
to carry on civilian education as far
as possible, rather than dilute it
by amateur military training"
The headquarters for the new
women's air squadron which Secre-
tary Stimson revealed was in the
process of formation, will be at the
New Castle Army Airbase, Whining
ton, Del, it was stated at the War
Department.

gas, the other for electricity. One
of the two wells outside is manually
operated in case the electricity
should 60.
Still filling the shelf spaces of
the long room is chemical equip
ment and drug store supplies. DR..
Bussler recently bought out a drug
store. The actual laboratory. how
ever, is in an inside room off the
kitchen with no trespassing sign
on the door.
Velvet draperies somebody once
gave the Busslers have been FASH
icned into blackout curtains and
forming a comfortable wall seat at
one end of the room are the leather
cushions from the big car DR.. Buss-
Ter no longer uses.
At the top of flight of bright red
stairs is the still unfinished sleeping
quarters where evacuees could
spend the night on straw filled,
Army style mattresses. He figures
he can house 100 at time that way.
IicpdTcu LOT SndHCf.
Actually, there has been no plan
ming done here for systematic evac-
uation and no indication that Ash
ton would be selected, but DIR.
Bussler thinks that possibly Nazi
sympathizer might let loose some
obnoxious gas in downtown Wash
ington which would start a volun-
tary exodus and the trend of
evacuees, he says, is always north or
northwest.
Meanwhile, there are always aux
iliary firemen and auxiliary police
men-organized by DR.. Bussler-
who could be fed after a blackout
drill and possibly convoy of SOL
diers will come by.
DR.. Bussler, who learned to fly in
1911 and who says he is one of only
five men still living who hold inter-
national aviation certificates num-
bered under 1000, is man to take
the long view.

Haven for Evocuees Fitted Out
BY Ashton Doctor, Just in Case
sReseorcher Stocks Home With Food and
Reserve Equipment on Exodus Route

First center to be singled out by
the local Office of Civilian Defense
as a possible refuge for evacuated
District residents is an air-condi-
toned, sound-proofed Colonial cot
tage 20 miles out of Washington at
Ashton, Md.
Patted on the back in an OCD
press release is DR.. l.. T. Bussler,
one-time aviator and Army physi-
clan, who started out to build re-
search laboratory beside his re-
stored old home on the Colesville
pike and ended up with a center
where, he figures, $50 people could
be fed and 100 housed.
What DR.. Bussler does in the lab
oratory is strictly hush-hush, but it
has to do with tropical medicine re-
search for the Government and
methods Of treating burns of sailors
who must swim through seas of
flaming oil.
All he needed for his laboratory
was four walls and a roof, but Mrs.
Bussler took up canteen work, the
county Red Cross organization
mentioned that it should have a
place to feed evacueeS and one
thing led to another.
Well-Stocked Kitchen.
DR. Bussler lined the walls of the
laboratory building with knotty pine
and the ceiling with sound -proofing
material. One of the rooms of the
place he had built became a kitchen
and there he installed an oil stove,
an electric stove and an old field
stove, which he bought from a
circus, where wood or coal could
be burned. The baker wouldn't
make his regular deliveries, should
disaster strike, he figured, and the
women could cook their own bread
in the old stove.
The walls of the kitchen are lined
With supplles-cocoa, coffee, chew
ing gum, salmon, cigarettes, choco-
late, pipe tobacco and II different
kinds of baby food because mothers
might come with their babies An
other food source is 1000 quarts of
vegetables canned by Mrs. Bussler
All the food would be free, ne said.
The long front room has an aper-
ture through which dishes of food
could be slid from the kitchen by
Mrs. Bussler and her crew of trained
canteen workers. A long counter
extends more than half the length
OF the room and the food would be
placed there.
Using cafeteria style, the refu-
gees would pick up their food and
take it to the window seats or the
lowest shelf of the many on the
walls. There are enough chairs for
all of them to sit down, facing the
wall.
Weighs Contingencies.

urns he picked up at sale-one for

D. {. Cabs May
Be Converted
Into Jitneys
ODT Not Expected
To Reduce Number
Operating Here

Washington taxicabs may be con-
verted, to a large extent, into jit-
neys, with most of them required to
pick up full loads and serve certain
zones, although there were indica-
tions today that the new policy of
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton, in restricting sharply the num-
Der of cabs operating in cities. will
not result in any substantial de-
crease here.
ODT announced last night that
taxIcab service in New York City
was being curtailed drastically. Op-
orators of the larger fleets were
ordered by September 20 to cut
down the number of their cabs by
at least third, while those run
ming fewer than three vehicles were
told not to operate any cab more
than six days week and not to
increase the number of shifts on
which they are used.
Barred From New Jersey.
New York cabs will not be allowed
to take passengers to New Jersey.
The new order says they may not go
outside the State. Nor may they
drive more than miles beyond the
corporate limits of New York City.
In announcing the regulations,
ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman
made this comment:
There are about 11,700 taxicabs
in New York City. This represents
% per cent of all the licensed cabs
in the entire United States In
proportion to population, there are
more cabs in New York City than
in any other city in the country ex-
cept Washington"
Mr.. Eastman added that the New
York order established "a general
conservation pattern in the indus
try which it may be necessary to
apply to other cities"
Inquiry at ODT brought word that
there was nothing to announce about
Washington at this time, although
orders affecting various cities might
be expected from time to time. Local
officials said they had heard nothing
from ODT regarding plans for the
Capital.
d. c. Problem Critical.
While no one professed to know
what will be done here, it was point
ed out that the situation in Wash
ington's Metropolitan Area is quite
different from that of New York,
since there is no subway or other
means of rapid transportation here
and the war has made the problem
critical Doubt was expressed that
ODT will cut down the number of
cabs here, although the prediction
was made that the pickup service
might be extended, so that taxis
would supplement more extensively
the burdened streetcar and bus serv-
ice.
Mr.. Eastman estimated the New
York order would save $4,000 new
tires and like number of recaps
this year and would reduce gasoline
consumption by more than 10000
600 gallons annually.
In general orders affecting taxis
all over the country recently, ODT
froze the number and prohibited
cruising, pleasure rides by drivers
and tours more than 10 miles be-
yond any city limit.

Drivers Urged to Apply
For Cards Month Ahead

Automobile owners eligible to ap-
ply for renewal of supplemental
gasoline rationing, should do SO 30
days before expiration of present
ration cards. it was announced yes
terday by Whitney Leary, OPA di-
rector for the District.
Mr. Leary has advised area ration
boards, when passing on renewal
requests, not only to investigate
supplemental ration already issued,
but also to check applications closely
before renewing rations.
The purpose is to convince gas
ration holders that the supply of
gasoline must be conserved, it was
said at Mr.. Leary's Office.
