D. T.. Fire Watchers
Far Below Minimum
Total Held Needed
5000 Shortage Cited
As Lundis Coils for
Strong Guard Forces

Organization of a fire watcher
force big enough to protect every
building in every target area against
the ravages of incendiary bombs
was urged on local defense councils
yesterday by Director James M.
Lands of the Office of Civilian De-
fense.
Washington has about 5000 fire
watchers spread unevenly across the
city, according to Chief Air Raid
Warden William j. Mileham. The
OCD fire watchers handbook calls
for from 10 to so watchers for every
500 people, which would require ap-
proximately 10000 watchers to meet
even the minimum figure. Mr.
Mileham said it might be necessary
to enroll as many fire watchers as
there are now air-raid wardens and
there are more than 10000 of them.
At present, some areas here have
only two fire watchers while others
have more than 100, Chief Mileham
said. It was also understood that
more attention has been given to
the service here in government and
other Office buildings than in the
residential sections.
Citizens Must Cooperate.
While it is pointed out in the
handbook that every civilian must
watch for and help control incen-
diary bombs, special reliance must
be placed upon the skill of trained
personnel, who are not only respon-
sible for combating bomb fires but
of seeing that advance precautions
are taken against their spread.
Dean Lands visualized fire
watchers as the first line of de-
fense against incendiaries. The fire
watcher, he said, must be situated
SO as to see or hear every fire bomb
/ dropped within his area. This will
take him to roof areas, steeples and
other high places. He must be able
to reach each bomb promptly and
control it and the resulting fire, il
possible.
The fire watchers major duty
Dean Lands declared, would be te
! spot and put out small fires before
they reached the point where ma
jor equipment became necessary
or developed into conhagration'
that no department could control
Recent close study of British ex
perience with fire bombs, the OCL
director declared, had made it ap
parent that numerically strong
well-organized and trained body o
fire watchers was essential.
Property Protection Vital.
"The first emphasis in the civilian
defense program was naturally upo
!, protection of human life ne sale
But the protection Of homes, bust
ness property and arms plant
against destruction by air raid

And then Sam began to tell him
about his mama and about her village,
and the thiEgs that had happened
there. He'd never seen those things
himself. But they were in his blood.
They poured out of him in a tide of
bitter inherited memory.

frontiers of his world which he had
accepted so glibly - which he had
thought secure and which perhaps
wasn't secure at all. He didn't want to

1t was Just one of those accidents
that are unavoidable where thousands

make feint attack that would throw
the enemy into waiting trap.
What the higher ups, studying their

river was in full food. and that Sam
