Federal Workers Aid
For Symphony Drive
Urged by Walker
Campaign Is Seeking
To Roise $4,000
BY Saturday

Because the National Symphony
Orchestra has given so much to
those who work for the Govern
ment," Postmaster General Walker
yesterday urged Government work.
ers to give in return by contributing
to the orchestra's current sustain
ing fund drive.
The Postmaster General is chair
man of the Government commit
tee assisting with the campaign. In
order to reach the goal, $l14,000
must be raised by Saturday.
At the first report meeting Fri
day. marking the conclusion of three
days of campaigning, nearly third
of the desired sum had been OBJ
tanned Another check will be made
at luncheon at the Mayflower Ho-
tel at 1890 pm. Tuesday.
In urging Government workers to
contribute, Mr.. Walker reminded
that music can do much for the
spirit and soul of America" at pres
ent.

ington today where the problem of
recreation for Government workers
is now so acute" he said The
National Symphony Orchestra has
done so much to make life for the
Government worker in Washington
more pleasant. Through its Water
Gate concerts, pop concerts, Con-
stitution Hall concerts and its stu
dents concerts 1t has given to thou
sands of workers and their children
respite from the anXieties and
pressures of the workaday world
and the inspiration to meet the next
day with courage.
Because the National Symphony
has given so much to those who
work for the Government, I believe
it is only right we should give
something to the orchestra in re-
turn"

Murphy Orders End
OF Multiple Jobs
In Civilian Defense
Single Duty Is Enough
For Air Roid Warden,
District Chief Believes

To be an afraid warden, auxil-
iary policeman or fireman is a full
time job. at least in case of emer-
gency, and persons who have con-
tracted more than one civilian de-
fense responsibility must choose
between them.
An order to this effect was issued
yesterday by Clement Murphy, Fire
Department battalion chief who is
chief AFRAID warden for the Metro
politan Area. 1t was reported "a
number" of afraid wardens also
had accepted other civilian de-
fense posts.
l5-Day Order.
The order issued by Chief Murphy
gave IS days from yesterday for
these men or women to separate
themselves from other civilian de-
fense responsibilities and devote
their whole time to one protective
service. ~
Chief Murphy said the rule ap-
piled to any one acting in any ca
pacity in the protective services,
such as AFRAID wardens who are
also serving as members of civilian
defense committees.
One official said the ruling by
Chief Murphy meant that no one
should think he could be "a master
of many services" at one time. In
case of emergency, it was pointed
out, the duties of either warden,
auxiliary police or fireman would
each be full-time job.
Plans for Pet Care Favored.
At the same time, officials of the
District o, C. D. gave their bless
ING" to plans by a group of repre-
sentatives from the several WASH
ington humane societies for care
of dogs, cats and other pets during
any possible air raid. The Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails, the District Humane Society,
officials of the District Dog Pound
and others were said TO be enlisted
In the program.
Chief Murphy, it was said, has
sent memorandum to the afraid
warden services, suggesting cooper
alton with this program, although
AFRAID wardens are not expected
to devote their time to care of dogs
or cats during test blackouts or real
air raids. Members of the humane
societies and perhaps the Boy Scouts
are expected to aid in this work,
1t was said.
