Valuable Defense
Data Collected by
Library Of Congress
100 Items Dealing
With Protection of
Civilians Listed

The rapidly growing accumulation
of material dealing with protection
of civilian populations from air
raids and the demand of specialists
for exact data has resulted in new
collection at the Congressional
Library, it was announced yesterday.
The collection, located in the west
alcove of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial Room in the Library an
mex, now contains 1700 civilian de-
fense items, volumes, pamphlets,
photostats, newspaper articles and
even some French, German and
Italian material obtained before the
war or smuggled into the United
States. Among the German works
is "Fireprooting and Air Defense"
Specialized Subject.
Civilian defense with the scores
of activities that have developed
around it, it was explained, has be-
come highly specialized subject.
While war reading rooms" such as
are to be found in the Washington
Public Library have met the needs
OF the average reader, research
workers needed information dealing
with special phases of civilian de-
fense.
The Congressional Library set up
its collection to meet that need. The
original plan for the collection and
classification of the material in a
ready reference system was drawn
up by Manual Sanchez, associate
librarian of the reading rooms. and
later amplified and modified by
Charles Wentz, an assistant librari-
an now in charge of the collection,
the material is grouped and as
sembled under five main classes,
each broken down. into several SUBJ
classif1cations. For instance, sub
classifications under Police Service"
cover guards, watchmen, traffic con-
troll, schools and children, air raid
wardens, police general, community
feeding and housing, bomb squads
and unexploded missiles, discipline
moral and evacuation. Similar clas-
siflcations have been made under
health service, maintenance, fire
service and other activities.
Valuable Collection.
A check list just completed COW
ering chemical warfare and de-
contamination cites 125 items on
that phase of civilian defense alone.
Library officials consider that as
the collection continues to develop,
it will prove great wartime con-
tribution to Congressional Library
research facilities by the addition
of a permanent collection of spe-
cialized literature of World War II.
Items in the collection are not
for general circulation and with
few exceptions are available for ref
erence in their present location. AS
part of the collection, a bulletin
board nearby carries newspaper and
magazine articles of special interest
and on the tables adjacent to the
collection are two dozen volumes of
important works on civilian de-
fenSe.

pears that the majority believe it
step which may eventually lead to
a much greater participation by the
District citizen in his own Govern
ment."
Some Bodies Inactive.
Saying that as head of the Fed
Grafton he had done his utmost to
cooperate with every individual
or agency whose aim was to win
this war;" Mr.. Stull asserted that
most of "our organizations =
have responded splendidly
1t is somewhat humiliating, how
ever, to report that few OF our
organized bodies have done prac-
tically nothing, which to me means
that their future Is doubtful unless
they can secure the leadership
which will maintain them as in
tegral parts of an organized force
which has for 80 years fought the
traditional fight for civic improve
ment in the District of Columbia" "
Mr.. Stull, in speaking of the
organization of civilian defense.
said that at first it was necessary
to combat indifferences and COM
placency. He added, however, that
through "the efforts of those who
came forward to assist, there be-
gan to grow up in the community
an organization, manned and
trained, which I believe at this
moment is second to none in the
country"
The contest for The Star trophy
was between Mr.. Smith and the
Health Committee. Mr.. Smith won
by vote of 81 to 43. whereupon DR..
Charles B. Campbell, chairman of
the Health Committee, moved that
the award to Mr.. Smith be made
unanimous.
In what would have been four
way contest for second vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Olive G. Faircloth with
drew, leaving Mrs. Marie C. Mold,
Mr. Walker and Mrs. Carrie G.
Smith. Since no candidate received
a majority in the first ballot, it was
necessary to hold second ballot, on
which Mrs Mold withdrew.
War Committee Named.
Mr.. Wender, whose term as presi-
dent began at the end of last night S
meeting, announced the appoint
ment of Committee on War Effort.
He named Mr.. Stull as chairman
and three former presidents of the
federation as members-L. A. Car
ruthers, Forest Hills; Jesse c. Suter,
Association of Oldest Inhabitants,
and Thomas E. Lodge. American
University Park The five officers
also will serve on the committee.
Mr.. Wender further announced
that it would be his policy to limit
committee assignments to not more
than two committees for one dele
gate, and that no one association
was to have more than one rep
resentative on a committee.
The following were elected to the
Executive Board:
Mr.. Carruthers, James A. Crooks
OF North Capitol, Orrin J. Davy,
Southeast Washington; Mr.. Finch,
Burroughs; Ernest F. Henry, Pet
WORTH Monte Sanger, Kalorama
road; Mr.. Smith. Mrs. Smith, Mr..

and jellies for the price fixed for a
larger glass. Some products, such as
syrup, were diluted. Containers,
formerly filled to the brim, now were
only partially filled, yet sold at the
same price.
Items Singled Out.
Investigators in this first large en-
forcement drive were told to check
prices on the following items: rolled
oats, corn meal, rice, corn flakes,
bran, macaroni. cake mixes. tea,
coffee, cocoa. sugar, Syrups, sliced
bacon, canned tomatoes, soap, bread,
milk and cream
The present drive completed with
the issuance of these warning
notices marks another step in the
increased emphasis on enforcement
in OPA," Price Administrator Hen
derson said. "Ir the early period
after the general maximum price
regulation became effective, efforts
to gain compliance through educa-
ton were stressed. For consider
able period. it has been evident that
more drastic action is needed in
cases where willful violations of
price regulations are committed.
The recent drive on beef violations
which resulted in l22 suits was an
example"
OPA already has turned over to
the Department of Justice for pro-
secution more than 800 cases in
volving 500 defendants. who are
charged with violating price, rent
and rationing regulations. Penalties
which may be imposed for violations
involve not only the suspension Of
license to do business, but also i'm
| position OF fines and imprisonment.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Chatterer was living in the Old Or
chard a great fear filled his heart
He forgot his quarrel with Sammy
He forgot his greed for all the corn
in Farmer Browns corncrib. He
forgot everything but his terrible
fear of Shadow the Weasel. 1t
was because of Shadow that Chat
terer had left the Green Forest to
live in the Old Orchard. If Shadow
should find him here, he didn't
know what he could do or where
he could go. He knew that Sammy
Jay meant just what he said, for,
though it would be a dreadful
thing to do, people do dreadful
things when they are angry; and
Sammy Jay was very, very angry,
indeed. He already had spread his
wings when Chatterer spoke.

where to look for the colony. After
regaining the premises once occu-
pied by the foe. the next important
step is to prevent his return.
If property owners could actually
see the damage done to wood by
termites, they would be far more
inclined to investigate most thor
oughly before investing their money
in new buildings, and to see whether
or not their home is being destroyed
by these destructive white ants" !"
There are So species in the United
States. These are distributed
throughout the country, although
in the southern, southwestern and
Pacific regions, where both the non-
subterranean and subterranean
kinds occur, they are more numer-
Gus and cause greater losses.

saw right away that Chatterer was
very much frightened and he knew
that in the future, 50 long as Shadow
the Weasel was anywhere around,
Chatterer would be so afraid that
he would do anything Sammy might
want him TO. You see, Sammy Jay
is very sharp.
Am I any more Of a thief than
you are?" he demanded.
"No-o-o,' replied Chatterer slowly,
as if it were the hardest work to
say it.
will you play any more tricks
on me9" asked Sammy.
NO" replied Chatterer, more
promptly this time.

up my mind In the morning." said
Sammy. Perhaps I will and per-
haps I won't tell Shadow where you
are living. III think it over"
Now Sammy knew perfectly well
that Chatterer wouldn't sleep a
wink that night for worrying. Al
ready he had made up his mind not
to tell Shadow. for, like all the
other little meadow and forest peo-
pie. he hated Shadow. But, of
course, Chatterer couldn't know that.
He had so made up his mind. and
a great fear that Sammy might tell
clutched his heart.
If you'll promise not to tell Shad-
ow where I am you-you are well

ing up through the interior. BY
means of earthlike shelter tubes
termites also are able to crawl over
impenetrable walls and get into a
building. Rafters, beams, joists or
other timbers of building may be
almost completely destroyed before
the collapse takes place.
1t is wise, therefore, to eliminate
wood from foundations, cellars and
Easements. No old damp wood
should be permitted to lie on the
ground near basement windows or
woodtrim. If there should be any
tube tunnels showing on the base
ment wall, investigation on the out
side will enable you to reach the
colony and destroy it.
There are three stages in the life
Of the termite. The egg. the nymph
and the adult. The adults are those
which will do all the work as the
soldiers and workers and the king
and queen"
The grayish-white, bodied,
wingless workers are the ones that
do all the damage. These tireless
workers make the excavations, at
tend to the eggs, the incubator
room, nursery, and feed the soldiers
which stand guard at the entrances

have strong biting jaws. Wood pei

"Indeed" replied Sammy. How
very generous Of you, seeing that
it doesn't belong to you, anyway,
and I have just as much right to
1t as you have"
"And-and-well, I'll help you get
it," continued Chatterer, his sharp
wits working their hardest to think
Of some way to get Sammy to make
that promise.
"How?" asked Sammy suspiciously.
why, when you can't get it be-
tween the cracks, I'll bring some
out for you and hide it in the stone
wall where you can find it." replied
Chatterer. But in his heart he said
he would hide it so that Sammy
would have to hunt long time to
find it. 1t seemed almost as if Sam
my read that thought. for, cooking
his head on one side, he said:
I'll promise not to tell Shadow
If you'll promise to get me corn
whenever I want it and put it just
where tell you to"
Chatterer didn't like that idea
at all. but what could he do? He
thought it over SO long that Sammy
Jay spread his wings as If he was
going to start that very instant for
the Green Forest.
Il promise!" cried Chatterer has

And so these two scamps Of the
Green Forest made up and planned
how they would live al the rest Of
