been allowed by the War Production
Board to install meters or to connect
gas for the furnaces. Gas is fur
nished. however, for kitchen stoves
and for hot-water heaters.
WPB Insists on Coal.
Myron Davy, partner in River Ter

, which the new householders pur-
chased the properties claimed that
the furnaces were purchased legally
and properly under priorities of
WPB. But now WPB is insisting
that these furnaces be taken out and
replaced with coal furnaces.
There probably is a shortage of
available gas, he admitted, but there
appeared to be, he said, no hmita-
tions on the connections the gas
company is making for cooking
stoves and hot water heaters.
To throw out the already installed
gas furnaces and install new coal
furnaces, he thought would be no
saving of critical materials. The
houses also were built for gas heaters
and have no outside entrance to the
cellars through which to haul coal.
All homes in the area have re-
ceiVed notice from Mr.. Davev ey-
planning the situation.

Eliminate Tell-Tale Shadows.
Whole barracks have been camou-
flaged here as part of the instruc-
ton. Various designs of tattered
cloth cover the roofs and flow over
the sides to the ground. They are
shaped especially to eliminate
shadows, for an aerial observer can
spot unusual shadows, which tell
him some structure is causing them.
Always the camouf1age pattern is
irregular, because nature is never
quite symmatrical
For snipers there are camouf1age
suits, varying in color with the
seasons. In these outfits, with q
little mud smeared on their faces,
the sharpShooters can hide In even
shallow grass and escape notice.
Snipers, incidentally, have re-
sumed their old importance In the
jungle warfare of the Philippines,
Malaga and the East Indies. ~
Soldiers gifted in sculpture and
design make models Of landscapes
containing military positions. These
form a problem for the students

about the camouflage of today. The

John r. Beall. Prince Georges
County Md commissioner, said
yesterday that he believes the ci-
villain defense organization of the
county should be placed under the
fuli-time direction of one person.
Mr.. Beall's suggestion was made
during a discussion of the county's
civilian defense problem at the
commissioner meeting at Upper
Marlboro yesterday. The commits
sioners had been notified that the
Board Of Directors of the county
Chamber of Commerce passed q
resolution at q recent meeting call
ing on the commissioners for appro-
priation of funds to speed execution
Of the county's defense program anc
to maintain the services of a full.
time director.
Commissioner Theodore B. Siehlel
objected to the proposal that the
position of director of the county
civilian defense organization be Gre
ated as paying job" He said that
the establishment of one such posi-
ton might set an unhealthy prece-
dent for the volunteer program in
general.
Mr.. Beall said 1t seemed to him
there had been a great deal OF con-
fusion in the administration of the
county program. He was reinforced
in this opinion by Dr. Harry M
Bowen, who referred to "a lack OF
coordination and leadership in the
civilian defense organization.
Two petitions for rezoning rejected
by the commissioners were:
Levi Black, owner, for the recon-
ing Of two lots in Cedar Heights
residential A to commercial D.
FANNY Salamy, agent for the re-
zoning of two lots in block 2 of the
Highland Park subdivision OF
Huntsville, residential A to COM
mercial D.
Both petitions had been disap-
proved by the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The commissioners acted favor
ably on the petition of Roland l.
and Mae T. Nichols for the tax-sale
purchase of lot 80 in Laurel Park
The price was $40.

Nobody can dispute the assertion,
