Col. Bo||es Bans
Forced Entry
Except in Raids
Wurdens Warned
To Prepare for
Ununnounced Test

A ban on forcible entry into homes
to extinguish lights except when
bombs are actually falling was put
on wardens and police last night by
Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive di-
rector of civilian defense, as the or
ganization received instructions tc
expect unannounced air raid tests
during August.
The question of forcible entry was
raised by wardens, who pointed out
that such procedure is allowed
during an air attack. With unan-
nounced tests, they pointed out, they
would have no way of knowing
whether the sirens were sounding
for drill or an actual raid
Col. Bolles stated that unan-
nounced raid drills are not to be
used as an excuse for forcible entry
into homes, and emphasized that
such tactics were out until bombs
start dropping.
Points to Light Law.
At the same time, Col Bolles
| pointed out that it is violation of
the Blackout Law for any one to
leave his premises with an unat-
tended light burning. Heretofore
wardens have reported such VIOLA
tions to the police who, in recent
tests, have taken the necessary court
action resulting in fines for wilful
violations.
In official instructions to the
civilian defense organization, Acting
Defense Co ordinator Charles w
Kutz declared, "it is to be antici-
oated that there will be unannounced
AFRAID tests in the Metropolitan
Area during the month of August
occurring both during daylight and
the hours of darkness"
While defense officials and their
organizations were warned to be
constantly alert to act effectively
upon receipt of the warning signal,
Col Bolles pointed out that the
entire population of this area also
should be alertly conscious that a
state of war exists and that the
area is liable to attack at any
moment.
Motorists Cautioned.
The surprise element of the forth
coming unannounced tests drew an
appeal from Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer for motorists
and pedestrians to be ready to fol-
low the special traffic rules and pre-
cautions designed for their safety.
These rules provide for motorists
to pull to the nearest curb avoiding
double parking, extinguish lights if
the test occurs at night. leave keys
in the ignition locks and the doors
unlocked and seek shelter in the
nearest building.
In the case of prolonged black
outs, other than actual air raids or
air raid tests, Mr.. Van DuZer said,
motorists will be permitted to move
at IS miles an hour, but with cowl
or parking lights only. The down
beam" light used for city driving
at night will not be permitted unless
the motorist can prove that that
is the only method by which he can
dim his lights.

A hearing on plans to establish
bus terminals for two Virginia
transit companies south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue urged to reduce mile
age and relieve traffic congestion
will be held by the District Public
Utilities Commission at 10 am. Au-
gust 20, in the board room of the
District Building.
Acting on recommendations of the
District Co-ordinating Committee
the PUG few days ago ordered de-
velopment of bus terminal in the
highway triangle in front of the OLD
Post Office Department Building
on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue between Eleventh ano
Twelfth streets NV.
The PUG left consideration of use
of the projected facilities for later
order, but the Co-ordinating Com
mittee plan was to allow the Alex
andria. Bancroft d Washington
Transit Co. to use this space, while
the terminal for the Arlington &
Fairfax Motor Transportation Co
would be moved to the west side OF
Tenth street south of Pennsylvania
avenue. sss& y
Both Use Tenth Street.
Both of these companies now use
Tenth street between D and E
streets NV. as terminal points, and
mounting congestion and vehicu-
lar and pedestrian traffic jams mo-
tivated the recommendations for
shifting the terminals to points
south OF the Avenue, as was recon-
mended Monday in an editorial in
The Star.
A. B. g. w. transit officials are
said to be agreeable to the old Post
Office Building terminal location,
but sharp opposition has been
voiced by Franklin K. Lane, jr.,
president of the Arlington & Fairfax
line, to moving its terminal to Tenth
street south of Pennsylvania avenue.
After receiving Mr.. Lanes pro-
tests. the PUG yesterday ordered
the hearing. Meanwhile members
of the Co-ordinating Committee
argued that much of the benefit
would be lost if terminals for both
companies were not moved to points
south of the Avenue.
Reason for Opposition.
Mr.. Lane has argued that A. g. F.
passengers would have to walk
farther to board the buses, and that
the line might lose some of its

WPA Chief Urged
To Reconsider Endino
OF Projects Here
Randolph Tells Fleming
$50 Losing Jobs Are
Over S. Years Old

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee wrote last night
to Brig. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, ad-
ministrator of the Federal Works
Agency, urging him to reconsider
the decision to drop certain WPA
projects in Washington.
Representative Randolph said 1t
had been brought to his attention
| that WPA plans to eliminate work
projects employing about $50 men,
who, understand, are not en-
playable in private industry. The
majority of them are over SIS years
of age"
The chairman said the projects
include improvements at and near
air fields, roadway work near other
Government reservations and the
salvaging of abandoned streetcar
rails.
The $50 men employed on this
work are eligible for direct relief
and undoubtedly the majority of
them would be forced to accept di-
rect relief" Mr., Randolph wrote.
I'm view Of the fact that reduction
is contemplated in other sections of
the country, it would seem highly
desirable to apply the same pro-
cedure here if projects could not be
kept intact. za
Certainly this is work which must
be done and If discontinued by WPA,
it will require men who could be en-
ployed in private industry or in
other defense work"
In referring to one particular
roadway and drainage job, Mr..
Randolph said its discontinuance
would mean "a very serious delay
because contracts will have to be
let, and it is difficult to obtain a bid
on unfinished constructor work"

and their neighbors in most sections
