Miss Goddard is a movie queen
who can stand off-screen inspection,
the rare film star who turns out to
be what you hope she will be.
Can Remember Names.
This, for instance, is the kind of q
girl she is.
She could bring a newcomer into
that room crammed with Is other
persons, a number of whom she
herself had just met few minutes
before, and glibly introduce the new
conner around the circle.
Miss Goddard, who thinks about
other peoples names obviously, diff
fers from a number of other movie
stars.
She even reads books. She knows
also what goes on outside the gossip
columns. She is happy to be told
that she can wear as much iewelry
as she wants because she always out
flashes the jewelry. She is happy
to admit that she can't stand per-
fumes-prefers the clean fragrance
of even cheap soap to any foreign"
odors.
Miss Goddard does not talk much
of her work, which also sets her
apart from the run-of-the-studio
girls. She liked doing The Great
Dictator" because the part was
written for herr and she does not
like the 'heavies" she has had to
play.
Wants To Play Maria.
She would like to play Maria in
For Whom the Bell Tolls" but
doesn't think she has chance.
She would like much more to play
Claudia" which would be a depar-
ture, but David Selznick seems to
think it would be too much Of a
departure.
Miss Goddard, those who did not
get to stop for a drink yesterday
afternoon might like to know, will
be back in town next week Mostly
she will be getting in some sight
seeing, then on Thursday night,
April 30. she will appear at the
Capitol Theater on the Hollywood
victory caravan for Army and Navy
relief.

Third MosIem' Found Guilty
Of Failure to Register for Draft

Another man who claims to be a
Moslem and thus opposed to war
was tried in District Court today on
a charge of violating the Selective
Service Act, but nobody smiled this
time.
The defendant, Elmer c. Carroll,
colored, conducted his own case,
steadfastly refusing to have counsel
assigned to him. He said Allah would
care for him
The only issues in the case were
whether Carroll was a citizen of
the United States, whether he was
within the age limits prescribed by
law and whether he had registered.
The facts were that he is a native of
the District, is AZ, and admittedly
had not registered with Board No.
%. which has jurisdiction over the
area in which his home, 703 Twen-
ty-fourth street NE. is located.
A jury found him guilty after de-
liberating only minutes. He was
the third colored man claiming the
MoSlem faith to be convicted here
Had Carroll registered he could
have pleaded before his draft board
that he was a conscientious objector
and the board could have considered
his case on its merits. But he told
the court today that he had reg
istered in Mecca" in June, 1910,
when he became a member of the
Moslem faith.
He said he would fight for no
country and would not take part in
a war against the Japanese because
they are his brothers.
The case was tried before Justice
T. Alan Goldsborough.
In another case tried before JUS

Fill Warden Posts
Col. Bolles Demands
Prompt Steps Be Token
To Tie Up Loose Ends

The men and women charged with
the responsibility of organizing the
Districts civilian protection services
were under orders today to complete
the job without delay.
Col Lemuel Bolles. executive
director of civilian defense for
the Washington metropolitan area,
called his defense chiefs together
late yesterday TO demand that
prompt steps be taken to clean up
loose ends.
1t is imperative. he declared.
that the chiefs of all emergency
services clear up any deficiencies
in their branches Immediately.
1T is especially important" he en-
phaSized. that any vacancies in the
AFRAID warden service and all other
branches be filled at the earliest
possible moment"
Col. BolleS said that committees
which have not established all OF
their sector posts should do so with
out further delay because. he said
These posts are the key posts of
the whole organization"
Defense chiefs also were urged to
speed the job Of fingerprinting all
individuals who are members of pro-
tective services.
The question of adopting a more
satisfactory method of identifying
emergency vehicles which must op-
srstenduring blackouts was discussed
and Y was indicated that the thou
sands OF red stickers already issued
might be recalled and more re-
strictive method of issuance EN-
ployed in distributing emergency
identification signs.
The meeting was held at civilian
defense headquarters.

Raid Signal Plan Suggested
For Calling Wordens to Duties
Third Corps Aide Recommends End of
Cascade Calls, With Single Warning for Cib

many persons no doubt would delay
preparation. thinking they had some
time to spare, and that many others
no doubt would start from business
to home, or from home to schools
to get the children, thinking they
had time to make such trips, instead
of ducking promptly into the near
est place of shelter.
Under the syetem suggested by
Maj. Paulette, a dependable air raid
warning signal system, which can
wake up the town" is essential,
some observers explained. District
officials so far have not made such
a claim, although they have hopes.
6 Steam Horns Received.
Hope that the District will have
received 20 steam -actuated air r-raid
horns by mid-May was voiced by
Porter M. Lumpkins. chief clerk of
the District Engineer Department.
Six Of the % ordered so far have
been received. They are installed
on plants where 24-hour steam
pressure is maintained.
AT present they must be man.
ually operated, but when priority
conditions permit they will be
hooked up so that by, the use OF
solenoid valves they can be centrally
controlled. One new horn, on the
top Of the District Building, was
given a mechanical trial yesterday
and officials were pleased with its
performances.
These horns are expected to
blanket" an area of a half mile
radius. AS distinguished from the
38 electrical sirens, upon which the
District now Is depending, they can
give short blasts, and thereby con-
stitute distinctive AFRAID signal.
When all % steam horns and 20 air.
actuated horns, already ordered,
have been installed, the horns will
constitute the major afraid signal
system and the sirens will be used
only as standby or alternative
system.

Belief that the District should de-
pend on the air raid signals, instead
of telephones. for mobilization of
air raid wardens and other protec-
tive services, was voiced today by
Mai. D. w. Paulette, of the Sd
Corps defense area, with head
quarters in Baltimore, who is here
for an inspection of District defense
machinery.
II this were done-and Maj.
Paulette said he thought such a
change would be made for this and
other places in the Sd defense area
it would mean abandonment of
the cascade" or telephone relay
system by which warnings now are
sent to the various protective serv-
ices, supposedly in advance of the
time the Washington red" signal is
flashed, which calls for sounding of
the air raids sirens and horns.
According to informed reports, the
relay system did not work so well
during the trial blackout last week.
In some instances, 1t is said, the
signals were given the public by the
sirens before the telephone notices
"cascaded" down the line to sector
wardens.
Now Action yellow
Under the plan suggested by Maj.
Paulette, on the basis of his study
of Virginia and experience recorded
in other places, neither the general
public nor the air raid wardens or
other protective services would be
modified until Washington re-
ceived the red" warning of an at
tack. Notices to protective services
now are sent out by phone when the
yellow" warning is received at the
communications center, some min
utes ahead of the red"
In answer to a question why all
the people of community should
not be notified on receipt of a "yel-
low warning. Maj. Paulette ex-
plains this would cause more confu-
sion and trouble than good-that

By HARRY MACARTHUR.

"Ah," said an old friend, who,
for his own sake, shall remain un-
identified. ''it is good after so long
to see q girl whose legs match"
Much as some Washington women
may rightfully resent the implica-
tions of the Air Corps lieutenant S
remark, 1t must be admitted that
he heard no dissenting voice in the
room.
For the room was a room in a
suite at the Carlton Hotel, where
Miss Paulette Goddard, the cinema
star, was holding court, and Miss
Goddard is not one who needs a
stand-in for a movie scene where
she tries on pair of shoes.
The lieutenants attention may
have been called, of course, by Miss
Goddard's footgear at the moment,
which was footgear as unique as a
fashion editors new hat. Ballet
slippers, Miss Goddard said, with
high heels added and very COM
Portable. But instead of ribbon
around the ankles. Miss Goddard s
ballet slippers were fastened to her
with red ribbons criss-croSsed clear
TO the knee.
Hopes 1t Won't Be Fad.
What the lieutenant probably
meant, was that or Paulette thev
looked good, but he hoped she
wouldn't be going around starting
a fad, because all women are not
ike Miss Goddard.
Many young women in Washing
ton, for instance, were not sitting in
the parlor yesterday afternoon hold
ing court, with some dozen men
paying their respects. The phones
three of 'em-rang steadily. Miss
Goddard, whose time has been well
occupied during her brief stopoyer
on the way from Charleston to New
York, kept saying, mo, 1 can't make
that, but why don't you stop up for a
drink this evening" 1t wasn't her
fault, was it, if every one she said
that to got the impression she was
talking about a quiet tete-a-t -tete?

tice Goldsborough yesterday Harry
M. Craighead, colored, claiming to
be a member of the Moslem faith,
was convicted of violating the Sc
lective Service Act by non-registra-
ton despite his plea that tenets of
his religion are against war.
Although personally convinced
that the Moslems have been fight
ing men for hundreds of years, said
Justice Goldsborough, he will take
any evidence to the contrary into
consideration when passing SEN
tence.

Federal holiday provisions for en-
ployes. ST. Elizabeth's has fewer
patients per employe, which means
better care. District patients there
enjoy probably better care than is
provided in any public institution
for the insane in the country.
The District, as he sees it, is faced
with a double dilemma. Should it
tolerate substandard care and dis
criminate against the aged insane?
Does the District want to take over
all District mental cases by building
its own complete mental hospital to
compete with st. Elizabeth's. where
care is provided at maintenance
cost2
There are many at the Capitol, he
added, who consider the District has
favored status at st. Elizabeth's
and would be only too glad to saddle
part Of the capital outlay burden on
the Capital residents
