ton of The American Institute of
Architects today called on the Ma
tional Office of Civilian Defense to
set up a technical service of

constructors
A report submitted by the COM

raid warden service.
The report SHARPLY censured de-
fense officials who reject offers of
assistance and collaboration by
architects because they are mot on
the organization chart and equipped
with armbands."
Landis Sees Service Possible.
Issued with the report was a copy
OF letter from Mr.. Lands to Hor-
ace M. Peaslee of Washington, chair
man of the Civilian Protection Com
mitee and author of the report. In
It, the o. c. D. chieftain said his
Office already was taking steps to-
ward expanding the technical phases
of its work, and that he believed
technical men, including architects,
engineers and others. can be of
very great service to State and local
defense councils in offering their
services on technical advisory COM
mittees to work out the ap-
plication of protective techniques. "
1T is obvious that the application
OF such techniques will vary from
place to place" Mr.. Lands letter
said, "and that careful study and
research by competent technicians
must be done throughout the coun-
try.
Part of War Duty. Il
Il hope that technical men in all
fields will feel it a part of their war
duty to put their professional serv-
ices at the disposal of the defense
councils for the solution of their
problems"
The report criticized officials in
charge Of air raid protection of some
schools and Sunday schools for ap-
plying generalities about non-evac-
uation of schools without regard for
exceptions to meet special condi-
tions. In the event of bombing,
the report declared, "the wrath of
the parents may lead to far more
serious consequences than a mere
investigation"

Of Church at Wars End

The church must present a set of
principles to those sitting at the

Nations are standing together in the
present war, if they are to conquer
the world for Christ"
