Wednesday 10 Face
Action by Police
Wurdens Cautioned,
However, Not to Make
ForcibIe Entries

Going on the theory that citizens
have had sufficient time to COM
plete blackout preparations. Defense
Co-ordinator Young issued orders
late yesterday that Wednesdays all
night rehearsal will be accompanied
by the first serious effort to prose-
cute willful voilators of the black
out law.
The order cautions wardens
against over-zealousness, however,
by stating >that for practice pur-
poses they do not have the right Of
forcible entry or extinguishing pri-
vate lighting. Willful violations will
be reported by the wardens to the
nearest police officer for "appropri-
ate action
The blackout, from 10 pm. till
dawn, will mean virtually all-night
duty for members of the warden
service, who will work in shifts as
they did when Washington had its
first extensive blackout. Members of
the emergency feeding and housing
unit, however. will be on duty only
until midnight. which, it was
thought would give them sufficient
time for mobilization and any other
duties assigned to them.
Blackout Unheralded.
The blackout will begin without
any sounding of the warning signal.
The signal will come to herald the
air-raid alarm period. which will be
of not less than half hours dura-
ton some time before midnight.
After the all-clear the blackout will
continue
Some of the chiefs of services will
stage simulated incidents, but these
are not supposed to involve the con-
troll center, which is now in process
of reorganization. II any OF the
chiefs feel they have to use the con-
troll center it will be necessary to get
the approval Of Col. Lemuel Bolles,
executive director of District de-
fense.
Civilian defense officials explained
they did not want anything to re-
tard the communications center in
the task Of speedy revision of its
setup. In nearby counties incidents
may go to subcenters, it was said.

Draft Unlikely
For Family Men
On Police Force
Boards to Decide
Individual Coses,
Hershey Says

Police and firemen with genuine
dependents are among the least like
ly to be called to service because
they are in necessary occupation,
whether or not they are considered
necessary men. an official of selec-
tive service said today.
Both Police Chief Edward }. Kelly /,
and Commissioner John Russell /
Young, who expressed concern yes !
terday because members of the force (,
were departing for military service,
had said that policemen were seek
ing commissions or nom commits
stoned ranks in order to support .
their families better than they could
II they were drafted.
For several months, selective serv-
ice has had a new classification
3-B-where men with dependents
and in an essential industry are
supposed to be placed. Selective
service has said these men would
be the last of those with dependents
to be called.
May Send Out Memorandum.
Commenting on Commissioner
Young's announcement that he
would ask Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Her
shey. selective service director, TO
establish definite policy on the
draft or deferment of police and
firemen, the selective service spokes-
men said that an occupational
memorandum, such as has been is
sued for other occupations might be
sent out, but local boards would still
have to decide individual cases.
If firemen or policemen are with
out dependents. the selective service
officials explained. they would Rave
to meet the requirements for occu-
pattonal deferment-that is, thev
would have to be necessary to the
Police or Fire Departments and i'm
possible TO replace.
La Guardia Given Same Data.
Asked about Mayor La Guardia's
announcement that he had been
given a formula" for deferment of
New York's firemen and policemen.
on which Commissioner Young based
his own request for an interview
with Gen. Hershey, the selective
service official said the Mayor had
been given the same information
that would apply here-that all
three requirements for occupational
deferment would have to be met
before local boards would defer the
men without dependents.
The Police DeDartment had M
hgureS on the number of men with
dependents on the force. Police
men are required TO send in their
draft status, but it is filed away
with their personnel papers and no
compilation has been made. it was
said. A police official said the Dis
trict Board of Appeal, which passes
on the actions of local boards and
has had number of police cases
to consider, had requested such a
compilation.

Owners Seek
Action on Shortage
Of Elevator Boys
Commissioners Asked
To Modify Regulations;
Kutz Studies Request

Representative Of the Building
Owners and Managers Association
today made an urgent appeal to the
Commissioners for modification of
regulations to afford relief of what
they called "a terrific shortage" of
elevator operators for apartments
and Office buildings
The Commissioners referred the
questions to the Engineer Depart
ment for recommendations and
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said he
thought some of the requests could
be granted.
Service Curtailed.
Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the
organization, said many buildings
had been forced to curtail elevator
service as much as one half and that
managers often run elevators during
peak periods. He added that 272-
unit apartment building had but cne
car in operation for 47-hour period
and that in a large Office building
only four cars out of six could be
operated for a period of days.
The group suggested:
That the age limit for operators
be reduced from l8 years to Is or II
years, arguing that a l6-year -old
boy or girl can get a permit to op-
crate lotion truck but now is for
hidden to run so simple a mechan-
ism" as a modern elevator.
Reduction of the required one
week training of an applicant for
an elevator operator permit, the
argument being that any one can
learn to run an elevator in a day or
two.
Shifts are Sought.
That the holder of an operators S
permit be permitted to be shifted
from one building to another with
out having to obtain official permis-
sion from the District.
That the elevator inspectors Office
of the District should be open part
of each day instead of only on Tues
days and Fridays and that renewals
of permits, when indorsed by an en-
ployer. should be handled by mail to
save time required for the operator
to make a trip to the District Build
ing.
