Stop-En|istment Order
Applies 10 FLIGHT Cadets

B, the Associated Press
The Army said today that the
order stopping voluntary enlistments
applied to aviation cadets equally
with other branches of the armed
forces.
The order also affects the VS.
class of naval aviation cadets, ex-
cept for those whose applications
are pending.
Heretofore all aviation cadets
have been volunteers, and Army
officials said no decision has been
reached on new method of OBJ
tanning prospective pilots. Several
plans are being studied and mean
time there was no indication that
the pilot training program would
suffer, since the enlisted reserve of
men already accepted but waiting
to report for training is regarded
as sufficiently large to keep the
Army's flight schools operating at
capacity for several months.

The revised list includes all cities

placing contracts in areas in which
workers would be idle. unemployed

less essential to the war effort"
He conceded that manpower was

fore the heavy shooting starts if

Men wounded in battle need
plasma Immediately; they cannot
wait until the knowledge of their
plight elicits response back home,"

monthly donations have increased
from an average of 2,735 before

the coming year. Plasma Is with

record in supplying blood for the

authorities said I'VE are looking to
them for even greater achievement

FWAR Rescinds
D. C.Fire Alarm
Extension Fund
Contract Voided Over
City Heads Protest;
Materials Lacking

An advance of $4,000 for extern
sion of fire alarm facilities in the
Anacostia area has been rescinded
and the contract annulled by the
Federal Works Administration, the
District Commissioners disclosed
today. The reason given was that
unobtainable critical materials were
involved.
The Commissioners had protested
to FWA against withdrawal OF the
advance, but the agency was not
satisfied with the position taken by
the Commissioners, it was said. The
formal announcement to District
heads by the FWA was referred to
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech.
The Commissioners had received
a check for $14.250, in keeping with
contractural relations dating back
to last March, but this was returned
to the Federal agency at its request.
The Commissioners took the posi-
ton that the contract remains in
full force and effect" and assumed
that at such time as the FWA and
the WPB determined that necessary
critical materials would be available.
consistent with the proper demand
OF the war;" the funds would be
advanced.
In response to this. FWA officials
wrote: "A misunderstanding ap-
pears to have developed concerning
the action taken with respect to
this project. The project has been
dlsappreved because the amount of
critical materials involved in rela-
ton to the necessity for the project
to further the war effort has been
held to be too great to permit the
release Of such materials for the
project. Since this renders it i'm
possible to carry out the terms OF
the contract, the allotment will be
rescinded. and the contract an
nulled"
David " Auld. District govern
ment engineer told the Commits
sloners he believed no further action
on the part Of the District govern
ment was required. and that it ap-
peared if the contract is to be an
nulled the initiative rested with

Mason Will Continue
Plans for Pennyki|k
For Needy in Schools
Programs Continuance
Depends on Contribution
From District Sources

Commissioner Guy Mason was
authorized today by his fellow board
members to continue negotiations
to see If the so-called penny milk
for "necessitous' school children
may be continued after the present
contract expires December 81.
1t still appeared that means of
financing the program even on a
curtailed basis, constituted a major
hurdle to its extension.
Commissioner Mason has requested
Harry Gardner, in charge of this
program to represent him at con-
ferences scheduled for today with
representatives Of the Agriculture
Department.
The Commissioner said he had
been advised that the Agriculture
Department would be willing to sub
sidize a continued program up to a
net cost of "a cents q half pint,
with the District paying or under
writing the cent half pint, which
ORIGINALLY the school children were
supposed to have paid, but which
In the past has not been collected.
Mr.. Mason said he felt that in
view Of the existing shortage of
fluid milk, the program should be
limited to children in actual need
of milk. He added that children
whose parents were able should pay
a penny a half pint, and that milk
for the remainder Of those included
in the program would be absorbed
by some means not yet devised. The
Commissioner agreed that the ques-
ton Of sufnciently low bids from
dairies. who would process the milk,
was vital to the plan to continue the
program.
