And here is what is expected of
those who enroll:
They will train for about a
month, beginning tomorrow. This
training will occupy them for less
than eight hours week.
After training, they will be on
call at their home or place of busi-
ness for a certain number of hours
a month. The hours on call, when
they must be available but not on
duty at the center, will be deter
mined by a schedule which would
provide for working staff at any
time.
They would also be on duty at
the centers for a few hours month
and, of course, would serve during
air raid tests or actual bombing.
The goal is well-trained staff
that would be able to perform eff
ciently when actually needed. Con-
troll centers will not operate fully
stated on a 24-hour basis at this
time, requiring long hours from
each worker, but will maintain the
ION call" method to assemble a full
staff when needed.
Should conditions change, requir-
ing full staff at all times on duty
at the centers, at least three centers
would not be able to operate for
lack Of sufficient volunteers.
There is the problem. 1t is up to
the people. whose lives and homes
depend on the control centers In
their own neighborhoods, to supply
the answer.

WaIkathon 'Moronic,
Mason Says, but He
Sees No Need Of Ban
Commissioner Critical
Of Murphy for Serving
As Shows Physician

Commissioner Mason said yester-
day that he looked on valuations as
"moronic exhibitions" but said that
District officials had no intention
of seeking legislation to make them
illegal.
He said that no evidence had been
gathered to show that a walkathon
had an evil influence on any one.
THE most we have been able to
find is that there is a low state of
amusement. But there is no law
against moron amusing himself
so long as he keeps within the law.
Not everybody wants to go to SYM
phony concerts or to the art gall
leries.
"You may say definitely that I
am not very mucl- excited about
this matter for these reasons"
Critical Of Murphy.
At the same time, he took q slap
at Deputy Coroner Christopher u
Murphy for engaging to serve rs
walkathon physician. Mr.. Mason
asserted: Is. i
/ Il think it is In bad taste for 6ny
public omcial, whether in full or
part time service, to lend himself to
this kind of practice which is
frowned on by a large segment of
the population"
Mr.. Mason said the Commission
ers had taken the position that SO
long as the walkathon was con-
Quoted in compliance with District
law and all applicable regulations
for the protection OF the public
there was nothing they should do,
regardless of whether they person.
ally thought the "show" was good
or bad.
However, he revealed that he had
issued instructions to the Health
Department to maintain a "close
check over the walkathon to see
that health and sanitation and
other rules were followed from day
to day.
In view Of continued agitation
over the walkathon, the Commis-
clOner WeNC 1utO b TaCueT Iuu OlS-
cussion Of the theory of public regu-
lation as related to such exhibitions.
He asked: 'Is a walkathon any
worse than our professional boxing
or our wrestling affairs? Aren't
there fake fights and fake wrestling
exhibitions? I call them exhibi-
tions, not matches or contests, be-
cause they are exhibitions instead
Of real contests. They are shows,
and these professional valuations
are shows"
He also questioned whether objec-
tions made to the walkathon
could not be raised to certain bur-
lesque shows presented here.
A ban on valuations might also
apply to other forms of amusement,
he said, asking, How are you going
to draw the line, and where?"
1T is a question of whether we
want to make immoral by statute an
exhibition that is not immoral per
Sc. It is like drinking-not immoral
per Sc, but once we made it immoral
! when we adopted prohibition"

David J. McCarty, is assistant FORE
man Of the composing room.
Doran McCarty said he remem-
bers vividly two great events Of his
youth. When the Spanish-A American
War broke out The Star carried It's
first streamer on page one, the BAN
ner line reading 80 Millions for
Defense" the sum Congress had
appropriated.
To-day, in another war, we speak
lightly Of billions" he said.
Helped Sell Papers.
II was an apprentice boy when
President Mckinley was assassi-
nated," Mr.. McCarty said. "Our
paper had been printed and the
workers had left. It was around 4
pm.
The only persons left in the COM
posing room were the foreman, his
son and myself. We three got out
the first extra that hit the streets
of Washington. It was q short story
of about three paragraphs, under a
one-column head reading President
Shot," at the top of the first page,
with the word extra" in large type
over the headline. I also sold copies
Of the extra, disposing OF 100 papers
before reaching Ninth and r
streets"
Mr.. McCarty, an expert rifle shot,
recalls the day, some years ago,
when q hawk which had been killing
pigeons in the tower Of the Post
ONCE Building was found dead on
the steps Of the old first precinct
station, then on the corner where
the new~Post Once Building stands,
at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
Mr.. McCarty's colleagues said Mr.
McCarty's memory did not need re-
freshing, inasmuch as he shot the
hawk from the ninth floor Of The
Star Building.
Last No. l Dash.
In telegraph language the word
thirty" signifies end. In the print
er's lingo mo. dash" completes a
story. For Doran McCarty, . flood
Of memories was evoked yesterday
when, . skilled craftsman popular
with his fellow workers and make
up editors from the news depart
ment, he put his last No. dash into
his last form at The Star.
"The composing room is going
to miss Doran McCarty," said B
M. McKelway, associate editor. but
the news department will miss him
even more. With Doran handling
the schedule and the rush OF late
type for page /, q makeup editor
could always feel that everything
was well in hand. I know Of nc
man in the news department who
doesn't owe something to Doran
All his life he's been catching mis-
takes, making helpful suggestions
and giving honest criticism of edi-
torial matter.
"And he always was ready to give
q helping hand to. any editor II
trouble-and they usually are. He's
the sort of man who has helped tc
make The Star-intensely loyal
proud of his work and of his paper
strictly honorable and quick to de
anything he could to make the worl
easier. We are going to miss him.
