BESIDE que Sc organizara ell go
bierno de Vichy, hechura de los
nazis, hemos venidO calificando
de "viboras" a los enteS como
Darlan, Laval, DoriOt, Petain.
etc, etc.
Petain es un hombre excelen-
te-decfan sus amigos norteame
ricanos.
Petain es un reaccionario,
que puso a Francia en- la boca
del lobo Y ~desatendi6, cuandO e.
ra ministro de la guerra, las re-
comendaciones de Charles de la
Gaulle. un especialista en- tam
ques-deciamos nosotros.
Y agregabamos: Petain es a.
migo de Franco y su vejez lie i'm
pide pensar y discernir con cla-
ridad; Petain pudo haberse mar
dhado a Norte de Africa y desde
alli, con la ayuda de la escuadra
francesa Y de los AliadOS COM
batir Ell enemigo comdn. pero de
cidi6 quedarse en- Francia y CO.
laborar con los nazis.
En- Ia escala de la TRACTION a
la democracia, ahora que Laval
es ell "Amo y Senor," por dicta-
do de los totalitarios, Petain, a
nuestro juicio, ocupa Ell primer
lugar.
Darlan merece el segundo lu-
gar. no obstante el "cambiazo"
v Laval ell tercero.
Los jefes politicos decentes de
Francia estan fuera de su pais,
en- las carceles o vigilados muy
de cerca por la Gestapo.
Jamas conseguira Laval, con
81 beneplacito de Petain, ell veje-
tie de la impotencia mental, que
81 pueblo frances empune las ar
mas para combatir deshonrosa-
mente bajo las banderas de los
nazis.
Las "viboras" extien5en su
veneno y a su debido tempo Sc

Douglas Foresees Resort
To Compulsory Savings
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Former
United States Budget Director
Lewis w. Douglas said yesterday
that If Americans failed to con-
tribute funds voluntarily under the
defense savings plan something In
the nature of a compulsory savings
plan may replace the present one" !"
Mr.. Douglas, chairman of the
defense savings staff for the Met
ropolitan New York area, speaking
to representatives of 500 women's Or
ganizations. said Americans should
not allow Allied victories in Russia
and North Africa to make them
complacent.
"The stakes are higher now than
ever before in history" he said.
Everything the western world
cherishes is being threatened. We
must meet armies pitted against us
with greater armies, sharper and
more penetrating. To do this re-
quires money. It makes necessary
the greatest spending program in
the worlds history. If we can't do
it voluntarily, something in the ma
ture of . compulsory savings plan
may replace the present one"

ton day since the start of the Vic

duced.
Many best sellers and valuable

II Air Horns and 8 Steam Ones
To Be Primary Warning System
Al Electric Sirens Are to Supplement
Roid Signals; n Already Installed

temporarily after the attack on
Pearl Harbor when they were told it
would be 80 to 60 days before the
manufacturer could begin their
production-if he could get priorities
Since then Federal officials have
indicated priorities would be given
along with directions for their i'm
mediate provision for Washington.
Attached to Air Tanks.
These horns would be attached to
compressed air tanks SO that even
with failure of electric power they
would be ready to sound the warm
ing signals. However. normally they
would be set of by the chief of
communications, District civilian
Defense, Herbert A. Friede. by
merely pushing button at District
Fire Alarm Headquarters in Nc
MILAN Park.
The eight steam-actuated horns
would be installed on plants or
buildings around Washington which
have steam boilers operated on a
24-hour basis.
Col. Snow explained that the air
and steam horns could be operated
by an electrical connection from
communications headquarters by the
use of solenoid valves attached to
each horn, which, by electrical i'm
pulse. turns on and OF either the air
or steam valves.
COL Snow added that the steam
and air horns will have a deep tone
of the same or about the same sound
waves, easily distinguished from the
sirens on emergency vehicles.

Some of the confusion concerning
Washington electrical air steam
system of AFRAID alarm signals was
cleared up yesterday when Commits
sioner Young disclosed that II air
actuated signals and 8 steam ones
will constitute the Capitals primary
warning system, to be supplemented
by . standby system of Al electric
ally driven sirens, II of them al
ready installed.
To BE Operated by Button.
Assurances that the contemplated
air and steam actuated horns can
be operated simultaneously by the
mere pushing OF button at the
District Communications Center, to
make electrical contact. was given
by 1t Col. Beverly c. Snow, Assist
ant Engineer Commissioner and
chairman Of the Civilian Defense
Policy Committee, after questions
were raised as to what Washington
would understand as to AFRAID
warning signals with three types Of
devices in the picture.
He said also that If the electric
service should be disrupted, the
steam and air horns could be turned
on and oil manually. Co-ordinator
Young and other District oficials
considered the extra expenditure
necessary to purchase and install
these sounding devices since recent
tests of the electrical sirens con-
vinced them these devices were not
satisfactory.
The air horns are Of the type orig
inally contemplated by the Com
missioners but which they dropped

Public Will Find Daylight Saving
Is Only q Mental Hazard

On the morning Of Monday. Feb
ruary 8, almost every one in WASH
ington will get up before sunrise.
Workers in the War Department
and many other bureaus will be at
their desks before dawn. Buses and
streetcars, crammed with morning
rush hour patrons, will be operating
with their lights on.
For Fabruary 8 will mark the first
day Of daylight saving time here. The
prospect Is causing q lot of mutter-
ing and shaking of heads. People
seem to think the entire life Of the
city is going to be disrupted.
AS a matter of fact, the advent Of
daylight time isn't going to make .
particle of difference, actually, to
most people. 1t is more Of q mental
hazard than anything else.
viii Keep Schedules.
The street cars and buses will run
on the same schedules. The rail-
roads. the telephone company, the
power company and al the other
utilities are going ahead Is usual
no fuss, no bother.
The switch to daylight saving time,
spokesmen for all the utilities agreed,
won't mean any big changes for
them.
On February ., the sun will rise ut
8:07 am.-daylight saving time
and viii set at 6:38 pm. D. 8. T.
Under ordinary circumstances, these
events would take place at 7:07 am.
and 5:38 pm, respectively. Eastern
standard time.
Evening star., 1942-01-21

This means that there will be q
heavier demand for electric power
from about am. to $50 am. than
normally. But 1t also will mean that
there will be less demand for power
from 8 pm. to $50 pm. than there
Is normally.
And this is one Of the important
reasons for President Roosevelt's
signing yesterday Of the bill putting
the Nation on daylight saving time.
Reduction Of the heavy peak de-
mand for power in the twilight hours
viii increase the efficiency Of the
distribution Of electricity.
The Potomac Electric Power Co.,
which would be the business here
most likely to be affected seriously,
said that daylight time really
wouldn't mean much to its organ
ization.
The power company spokesman
didn't sound too happy about it.
Business Is not what 1t might be,
what with al the blackout scare
and people keeping their lights
turned down at home, and the COM
ing Of long hours Of daylight won't
help power sales here. But the
change doesn't involve any major
change In operation Of the power
system.
The Capital TfAndt Co. said It
didn't expect any hrge-scale sched-
ule adjustments. It Is possible that
some minor changes may be neces-
sary. but these are being made al
the time.
