CCC to Cooperate
With Red Cross in
County War Effort
BY WILLIAM II. HYFR
Department Of Education, Camp S-59- .
Gee

~
Established in 1888 to provide work
relief for Americas idle youth and to
conserve and develop the nations
natural resources, the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps will shortly embark upon
the program Of active participation
in the United States war effort
Under plan just announced the
/ Corps reservoir Of manpower, its re
sources and its transportation faci!-
tiles will be made available to the
American Red Cross for a coordinated
effort should disaster from bombing
raids or other causes strike. In the
meantime, CCC enrollees will be
trained in disaster relief policies and
procedure and will stand ready to
render every assistance to the Red
Cross in any emergency that may
arise
For some years the Red Cross has,
under terms Of cooperative agree
ment, been able to draw upon the re-
sources of the various governmental
agencies in meeting extensive sup
ply and equipment needs in times Of
major disasters. AS a result the need
for stores of materials in anticipa-
ton of disaster needs has been greatly
/ lessened.
/ A survey made by the Red Cross re-
veals that the CCC possesses re
/ sources which can be of great value
/ in disaster relief. 1t is nationwide,
with completely equipped camps and
transportation facilities in every
state During the current emergency,
moreover, its PERSONAL has been
greatly reduced leaving it's organiza-
tional framework, its camps, trucks
and other equipment available in large
part for other uses.
For some time there has been a
functioning agreement between the
Division Of Safety of the CCC and the
Red Cross First Aid, Water Safety
and Accident Prevention Service COW
ering instructions in first aid, trans
portaton of the injured and water
safety At Company 304, near Oak
land, where some one hundred fifty
youths are enrolled, this first aid
course is a compulsory subject, and
through the strict insistence Of Com
pany Commander John r. Mangan, it
is made available to every enrollee.
To meet any eventuality that may
arise from the present emergency, d
plan has been perfected between the
Red Cross and the CCC. Briefly, this
plan calls for Red Cross sponsored
training program in disaster relief
policies and procedures for key per
sonnet in CCC companies throughout
the country. The Red Cross will con-
tinue its present program Of instruc-
ton and will request the assistance Of
the Corps when the need arises.
In extreme emergencies, when evac-
uation and mass care are major prob
lens, the CCC has agreed to make
available any Of its unoccupied camps
for sheltering evacues. In this cOnnec
ton, should the need present itself,
CCC enrolIees will carry out assign
ments as parts Of the Red Cross dis
aster relief organization.
So far as can be determined the pro
: gram of work set up by the Red Cross
will not disrupt the present opera
ton Of project work in forest and park
areas. Nor is it expected to lessen the
, efforts of skilled training Of enrolleea
for any key defense positions.

uum cleaners, radios. Undoubtedly,
automobiles will have to be rationed
also, according to the OPA and OPM.
Officials of these agencies would like to
limit rationing to durable consumer
goods, but warn that an army develop
ing from two to ten million men may
mean a rationing Of some textiles. No
body feels that it will be necessary to
ration food, with the possible eXcep-
ton of a few commodities like fats and
oils. Even so, it is emphasized here
that rationing of these latter commod-
tiles is by no means a certainty and
that, if it does come, such rationing is
still long way off.

MOSTLY OUTSIDE
Washington. Dec. 27.

Washington, Dec. p.
Apart from the immense advanta-
ges Of coordinated effort and agreed
upon strategy against Axis powers.
which is the main purpose of the visit
TO Mr.. Churchill and the numerous
technical aides and experts who came
with him, it is possible that other
benefits may flow.
#"@
One, Of course, is the spiritual exal-
tation of the great and inspiring
speech in the Senate chamber the dav
after Christmas. In that speech Nj.
Churchill really lifted the nation. But
that was not all he did Certainly, in
a few days he has managed to convey
in Washington two exceedingly useful
impressions. One is that the fight
ahead Of us is exceedingly grim; that
there will be bad news before there is
good news. Nevertheless, the ulti-
mate and complete defeat of the en-
envy is something about which there
is no doubt whatever. The other idea
is that the cost Of victory in money,
lives and time depends altogether
upon the way the job is managed
IF we manage it WELL" declared the
indomitable man at his first press con-
ference, Eve shall do it in half the
time"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

At least it would be such an OPP
portunity if there were in our Gov
eminent someone with authority
enough and capacity enough to get at
the facts and operate along these
lines. Unfortunately, there is no such
person. All authority is in the hands
of the President and he has delegated
very little-not enough for any &C
ton not previously approved by HIM
self. Immersed in great problems OF
global strategy and the direction OF
the armed forces, it is plain that he
cannot deal with such details. The
trouble is that no one else can. He
hasn't delegated that kind Of author
ity, but if he had he has not around
him the sort of men capable of WELD
ing it effectively.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

That, of course, was not said in crit
icism but merely as a plain state
ment of obvious fact. 1t would be well
if these Churchillian words should
soak into the minds directing our own
national effort, which quite clearly is
not being managed well at all. 1t may
be that we have made no more mis-
takes than the British in the same
length of time. 1t may be that on the
early days they made even bigger
blunders that we. But that is not the
point. The point is that the stake has
been reached where we must at least
cease making major mistakes-be
cause mistakes now will take their
toll in American lives, even though
they do not threaten the ultimate out
come.
What we ought to do, of course, is
to profit by British mistakes-not
repeat them. England and Canada
have been in this war nearly a yea"
and a half; we have been IN 1t Just
three weeks In such vital matters as
price control, civilian defense, labor
policy, priorities and production prob
lens generally, they foundered about
for months, but have Strengthened
out now-made their mistakes and
corrected most of them. 1t would seem
the part of wisdom for us to profit
by their experience not disregard it.
Particularly, it would seem that the
presence in Washington Of Lord Beav-
erbrook and the accompanying eX-
perts provides an opportunity for a
survey of what they have done which
we can proftably avoid or protitably
adopt.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-01-01

And that brings up the point on
which the President himself can act
without delay. He can act, but no one
else. In both England and Canada the
best brains in the country are now IN
the Government. There are no cor
spicuously able and experienced men
who are not being utilized in key posi-
tions; which is as it should be. But
that is not true in this country. The
reverse of that is true. Unfortunately,
the best brains of the country today
are outside of the Government, not IN
it. Our outstanding men Of ability
and experience are not being utilized
Few will dispute that statement.
mm"
A few rames spring instantly 10
mind: B. NJ. Baruch, Herbert Hoover
Wendell Willkie, Alfred Sloan, Lewis
W. Douglas, John E. Hanes, James A
Farley, Owen D. Young. All these
men have capacity, character, eXpef-
fence and unquestioned patriotism
There is not one but who would be
an enormous help in the great national
effort we are making. They would III
crease both efficiency and confidence
Moreover, they are available. Anc
there are plenty Of others. But the!
are outside the Government, not III
side. There is no way for them tC
serve except at Mr.. Roosevelts INV
tation-and that has not been eX
tended. If there is one thing mor'
disturbing than the caliber of th'
men who are managing this job, 1t l.
the caliber of the men who are no
being permitted to help manage it,

Improved Transit
Service Looms
For Creenbelt

Application has been filed by the
Capitol Transit Company with the
Maryland Public Service Commits
sion for permission to put into
effect the proposed improvement
cf Greenbelt transportation. Noti-
fication. Of the filing of the appli-
cation was received by the Ad-
ministrative Office last Saturday,
it was announced by Assistant Ad-
ministrative Director, Arthur L.
Rysticken.
Unless opposition to the plan is
voiced, there will be NO necessity
for public hearing, according to
Mr.. Rysticken. "We should know
before the end of the month
whether or not such opposition has
been raised" said Mr.. Rysticken.
"If not, plans should be put into
operation very shortly"
According to Sol Shub, chair
man of the Transportation Com
mittee, "This plan is the first di-
rect step in what we hope will
be the real solution to our trans
portation problem from Greenbelt.
We do not anticipate any opposi-
ton to the proposed plan. The
Transportation Committee will
continue to cooperate with every
one concerned, as in the past"
It was indicated from reliable
sources that automotive equipment
restrictions will increase the nee
essity for the above plan, in as
much as it has become difficult to
procure parts and supplies neces-
sary to operate individually owned
automobiles.
The new plan calls for direct
service to Mt. Rainier, with no
increase in fare. Schedules will be
changed, the longest time between
buses to be 20 minutes, and at
rush hour 10 minutes.
Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-01-02

Greenbelt's practice black-out
on Tuesday was a distinct success,
according to Chief Air-Raid War
den George Panagoulis. Instruc-
tions were followed almost to the
letter., achieving a complete black
out. Many lights went out even be-
fore the official signal was given,
because of the radio programs
broadcasting the metropolitan sig
nal in Washington.
A few lapses were noted by the
wardens, which would entail per-
sonal danger in the event of an
actual raid. Mr.. Panagoulis urged
that in the future no cigarettes
sbe lighted or smoked near the
Ewindows, as they can be seen from
outside. SIN fact" he added, 'no
ne should even stand near the

Warden Cautions on Real Thing

stated that radio dials should DC
covered to keep light from re-
tlecting; that lighted refrigera-
tors not be opened; that it is not
necessary to tape windows, as
heavy blankets will keep lights
from the interior from escaping.
In the future, all advance warn
ings of practice air-raids will be
given through the newspapers or
other public sourses. No personal
warnings will be issued.
Notices will be sent to all resi-
dents, advising them as to which
shelters they are assigned. These
shelters have already been selecu-
ed, and are to be made blast
proof with sand-bags and other
arricades.
Mr.. Panagoulis said that he
would like to give special thanks
to all afraid wardens, their as
sistants and all others concerned
