ct is suggested to DIR. Thomas
Parran, surgeon general OF the
Public Health Service, that clinics,
public and private. be established
or emergency rooms be utilized and
equipped with doctor and regis
tered nurses who have information
as to doctors in case further medical
care is needed
Mrs. Roosevelt had the other "a
women to the White House for
lunch recently to discuss the prob
lem of the girls in their husbands
agencies in order to determine ex-
actly what the needs are. Today's
memorandum is the result.
The women urged that there
should be some check on statements
made over the radio that there is
ample housing within easy distance
OF work" They recommended also
that the housing registration head
quarters provide every girl seeking
information with the address of
more than one place where she
might conceivably obtain a room,
because giving only one address
means that the girl frequently is
compelled to spend a night in an
undesirable place
Recreation Secondary.
The women decided that "the
question of recreation seems to be
/ less important and the concensus of
opinion gained from talking TO many
/ girls is that if they have a decent
/ place in which to live, decent food
at reasonable cost, they can find
recreation"
The memorandum pointed out
many tasks that can be assumed by
volunteer workers-at the proposed
Union Station greeting bureau anC
at the proposed new cafeterias in
/ the working areas.
The conclusions seem to be that
the immediate needs are for housing
provision of food and provision OF
medical and dental care" the memo

Army's Strength
Compulsory War Service
Scheduled for 1914,
Berlin Radio Reports
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN From German Broad
casts, May 9.-The Japanese
government has decided to in
troduce compulsory military
service in Korea in 1914, dis
patches from Toxic said today.
A form of voluntary army service
for Koreans has been in effect for
two years, and the dispatches said
that since the beginning of this
year more than $4,000 Koreans
have volunteered although only
5000 could be accepted"
Korea, with its population of 23,-
100000, would be the most impor-
tant of series Of japanese meas
ures to draw on the manpower of
their colonies and conquered terri
tories to bolster their program of
conquest.
1t may be an indication that they
are finding the man power resources
of their own home islands, popula-
tion 100000, small for the vast
Greater East Asia" program. Some
authorities believe they have mobil-
lied about 100000 for all combat
services and that further drains
would cripple seriously their indus
try and agriculture.
The Koreans always have been re-
bellious since Japan annexed their
country in 1910, and Japanese at
tempt to conscript them might pro-
duce serious disorders.
Other Japanese measures to en-
roll men of subject or conquered
races include the recent institution
of voluntary enlistments in FormoSa,
forced labor enlistments in Manchu-
kuo and the use of the puppet armies
OF Manchukuo and the Marking
regime in China. There have been
some indications lately that these
levies might be used for rearguard
! duties in the event of q japanese
attack on Russia.

SCHOOL SCHEDULE
CHANGING MONDAY
High Students to Star
Classes at $3.50 O'Clock
Instead of 5

Local high school students will b
able to rise a half hour later for tfN
remainder Of the school term start
ing Monday when the new opening
schedule recommended by the trans :
portation committee of the local
Civilian Defense council takes eff \
feet. Glasses will start at $3.50 in
stead Of 8 o'clock as in the past at
Waterbury Catholic and Sacred
Heart high schools as well as at pub
lie high schools.
The school opening change was
made as a first step in the stagger1
Ing Of opening hours planned here
by the defense council as a means
Of alleviating bus congestion during
peak hours. A study of store and
factory opening hours is being made
and further changes may be recon.
mended.
The effect that the school hour
change will have ON transportation
will be studied so that further
changes may be made In the fall II

SIDEWALK WORK
TO Be DELAYED
Asphalt Shortage May
Last Indefinitely; SUBJ
stitute Sought

Repairs Of any city sidewalks may
have TO be delayed indefinitely be-
cause Of the shortage Of asphalt,
Mayor Vincent A. Scully said today.
The mayor said q few days ago
he had reported to the street de-
partment several sidewalk sections
that needed repair. DO asphalt
was available here, so department
representative was sent to Hartford
to ask government officials when
some might be secured. He was In
formed that 1t will probably be I'M
available for an indefinite period.
Neither concrete nor tar can be
used to make sidewalk repairs, the
mayor was told by the street de-
partment, because concrete would
"rise" and tar would "bleed."
Mayor Scully said he is in hopes
that some substitute material may
be made available for such repairs
before the city is faced with q
flood Of damage claims.

minority grew, barrier between old residents and
newcomers grew with It, There were charges
counter charges and bitter feeling both sides.
The first task Of the Springfield experiment" was
to correct the discrepancy between democracy in
theory and democracy In fact. School officials in
augurated student councils In the lower grades.
Older children wrote plays on the social, cultural,
economic and political contributions Of various
tionality groups to community life. High school
pupils settled all extracurricular problems by them
selves discussed practical democracy and the merits
of political candidates.
FOREIGN-NAME HANDICAP OVERCOME
Another school-age problem was establishment.
1deahstic youngsters discovered that all politicians
weren't honest public servants, and that their Job
opportunities might be limited by foreign sound-
ing names. So Springfield leaders set to work on
adult citizens
Industrial and commercial executives were per-
suaded in many cases TO end discrimination in en-
ployment and hire on merits alone. Better wage
and hour scales for domestic help were instituted
through womens organizations. Adult education
forums and prediction political discussions drew
thousands. Induction Of foreign-born persons into
citizenship was made an important impressive COM
munity event. More adequate answers to the local
mu1ity event. More adequate answers to the social
and economic problems of Springfield negroes are
currently being sought by schools and social agencies

new CODE FOR
COPS ADOPTED
Numbers to Be Used By
Radio System to Indicate
Nature of Emergency

Adoption Of a new code for use of
the police radio system was an
nounced today by Police Supt. Will
liam J. Roach. The code which pro-
vides for use Of numbers to indicate
the nature of an emergency was pre-
pared by Patrolman Edward Sulli-
van Of the signal division.
The code was adopted for the pur-
pose Of speed and accuracy rather
than secrecy in the despatch Of mes
sages in connection with the new
three-way frequency modulation
communication system now in use
by the police department.
In the future a dispatcher will not
have to say, "Csr go to Exchange
place and investigate hit-run acci-
dent" With the adoption Of the code
ne will say merely, Gar 8, signal q,
Exchange place." Other signals will
be used To describe the various other
types o. emergency.
Patrolman Sullivan has prepared
a pamphlet which is being prepared
for distribution to patrol car opera
tors on the subject of frequency
incubation radio. The booklet con-
tains instructions and suggestions
for proper use Of the three way COM
mInication system.
Sergeant George Chatfield report
ca that In a test of the frequency
meditation system last night con-
versations were received and de-
Spatched clearly between headquar-
tiers and Thomaston.
Seven of the Is new police cruisers
are now In service with the three
way radio sets and six more will be
on the road next week.
