Lands Bides Time on TeIIinq
Which WoyO D. Will Jump
Now in Sole Command, New Chief
Weighs Fields He Will Elect to Direct

With the resignation of Mrs.
Roosevelt, Dean James NJ. Lands
today assumed undivided control of
the ONCE of Civilian Defense but
was yet to give the Nation a clear
account of what he plans to do
with 1t.
In his only press conference since
he succeeded Mayor La Guardia of
New York as o. c. D. director, Dean
Lands declared he was trying to
define" the responsibilities OF his
OUTFIT. AS an example, he cited the
field Of housing in defense areas
already under the aegis of numer-
Gus Federal agencies. He has not
publicly announced yet whether he
intends to assume jurisdiction.
At that time, February IL, he re-
ported that decision was imminent
on whether the physical fitness divi-
sion-then spotlighted by the activi-
ties of dancing Mayris CLANCY, since
resigned-would stay with him or
60 to Federal Security Administra-
tor McNutt. Nothing but rumors
have been heard since on that score.
To Launch New Phase.
His announcements-when they
come-will inaugurate another
phase in the turbulent history Of
the Civilian Defense agency.
Mrs. Roosevelt's resignation Is
expected to put a period on
many of the ideas nursed as
long ago as January, 1941 ideas
which resulted In more than
one plan left on the Presidents s
desk. Months after Mrs. Roosevelt
called her first meeting of educa-
tors and welfare workers to discuss
what was then referred to as home
defense" the President appointed
Mayor La Guardia as unpaid part
time director of the Once of Civil
Ian Defense under q broad execu-
tive order.
Given an inside track by the hun
dreds Of letters from people want
ing to help" which she answered,
Mrs. Roosevelt continued her own
social welfare conception of civilian
defense activities. Her work was
made official with her appointment
in September as assistant director
OF o. c. D.-also unpaid and part
time. She announced at that time
that by the end Of 1941, she would
be free Of most of her other commit
ments and able to devote all her
time to the volunteer participation
division which she headed.
Meanwhile, Mayor La Guardia, In
tent on gas masks and f1re-fighting
equipment, proved ignorant Of por-
tions Of Mrs. Roosevelt's domain.
Questioned by a congressional sub
committee, he professed knowledge
that Mrs. Roosevelt's assistant, Mrs.
Lindley, was "in the office," but said
he would have to check whether she
received compensation. (She was ON
the pay roll at $500; is now in the
hospital0
He was having his own troubles.
From his civilian protection aides
came these advices: Fill your bathtub
In event of an air raid. Don't I'LL it.
Send the children home from school.
Don't send them home. Turn out
the pilot light on your gas stove.
Leave the pilot light alone.

All q Star reporter wanted to
find out yesterday was q small
biographical item, but the report
er left assorted Government on
cials asking each other:
Whatever happened to the
Public Health Service?"
The search for the Public
Health Service began when q
telephone operator at the Federal
Security Agency, threugh which
calls to the Public Health Serv-
Ice 60, said she couldn't get any
one there. that they had no
telephone.
What happened to their tele-
phones?" the reporter asked,
naturally enough.
They've all moved out" said
the operator.

where she was told, "Oh, they

This information was consid-
cred suspect because 1t didn't ex-

some one was sure the employees
Of the Public Health Service had

Injecting a welfare note into the
protection service, Mrs. Roosevelt
told a recent press conference she
thought the AFRAID wardens might
do double duty as social workers.
Congress grew vocally upset when
news broke of the appointment Of
Screen Actor Melvyn Douglas as an
o. c. D.. arts co-ordinator-an ap-
pointment Dean Lands claimed as
his own-and the employment Of
Miss CLANCY as $4.600-a-year direc-
tor of childrens' activities under the
physical fitness program.
Inspired Charge Of "Frills."
Immediately identified as a pro-
tege of Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss CLANCY
brought an accusation Of "frills" in
the o. C. D. program from Congress.
Unable to touch her salary, already
supplied under the once of Emer-
gency Management appropriation,
Congress denied the Treasury De-
partment $4,000 for a Donald Duck
picture.
On becoming director, Dean Lam
dis first named Mrs.-Roosevelt chief
Of the expanded community and
volunteer participation" program,
later hoped" she would stay until
she reorganized it. Much of her re-
organizing went on while she was
making civilian defense speeches
out Of town.
Mrs. Roosevelt's half Of o. c. D.
will now get its ideas and admins
tration from a trio brought in by
Dean Lands. They are:
Hugh jackson. 29-year-old New
York social worker hired at 5000 a
year to command nine regional
ofices and give leadership to count
less autonomous municipal and State
defense councils.
Miss Mary Dublin, ex-investiga-
tor for the Tolan Committee, hired
at 5000 to make surveys.
Jonathan Daniel, Southern editor
and author, getting 5000 a year as
chief Of program planning"
None Of these has yet revealed in
detail his or her plans.
T. Semmes Warmsley. former
Mayor of New Orleans whose O..
C. D. job as chief of the Once Of
Inspectors General was abolished
this week by Mr.. Lands, has been
called to active duty as a reserve
ofncer with the Army Air Corps.
He holds the rank Of major,
having served overseas with the

In 1898. the Zippers held the
