District 10 Enforce
Afraid Precautions
In Public Places
Night Clubs, Apartments,
Hotels, Theoters Cited
In Law Being Drafted

Regulations to enforce air-raid
precautions in night clubs, apart
ments, hotels and theaters are now
being drafted by Col. Lemuel Bolles,
executive director of District civil
ian defense, on orders from Defense
Co-ordinator John Russell Young,
it was learned yesterday.
The addition to the blackout
regulations has been urged for some
time but the Cocoanut Grove fire in
Boston focused official attention on
the need for seeing that places of
public assembly provide for all
emergencies.
Sidesteppers Spotted.
Most places here, Col Bolles said,
are already taking all necessary
steps but others are "short-cutting"
and the regulations are intended
particularly to cover them.
He pointed out that in one resi-
dental hotel drills for residents
are held every 10 days or two weeks.
The alarm within the building
sounds and the residents go to shell
ter areas. Col Bolles declared that
"the lives of people in that build
ing are reasonably safe"
The regulations probably will COW
er minimum equipment for combat
ting afraid effects, protective or
ganization within the building,
drills, an alarm system and public
announcements of what to do in an
air raid, if the building is a night
club, theater or other place of pub
lie gathering.
Col. Bolles declared that if these
regulations had been in effect at
the Coconut Grove the loss of life
might have been much less.
In places like night clubs where
there is constantly shifting pa
tronage, he said, a public announce
ment of shelter arrangements and
exits might be made every hour.
Theaters could flash such an an
nouncement on their screen at the
beginning of each show.
Proposes Drills.
Drills, he said, should be held Of
ten enough in apartments and ho-
tells to accustom residents to do the
right thing naturally The drills
could be held at specified periods as
we'll as or instead of during city-wide
AFRAID tests.
Places of public assembly have
been under study for some time with
an idea of determining what ar
rangements for shelter should be
made in each place. In some places,
the crowd will be directed to dis
perse to shelter areas nearby while
in others they will remain on the
premises where shelter areas will be
provided.

Questionnaires are being prepared

The questionnaires will seek to as

Clerks Prepare to Measure
Packages Shoppers Must Carry

Armed with 50-inch lengths of
string. department store clerks will
be busy this week measuring large
packages cross-wise, length-wise
and through, to determine which
parcels are less than so inches in
three dimension girth and must be
carried home by the customer.
In accordance with a recon-
mended Office of Price Administra-
ton program, retail store customers
will henceforth take home packages
weighing less than five pounds or
measuring less than so inches in
girth.
Christmas gifts will be exchange
able at Washington retail stores un-
til January 9, as In previous years,
but must be carried to the store by
the owner, except where the gift
originally was delivered by the store.
Counting heavily on human inertia,
department store executives believe
this circumstance will reduce the
huge volume of exchanges which
usually swamp stores after Christ
mas.
Said the president Of one WASH
ington department store: Custom
ers have learned a lot in the past
year. They. realize that delivery,
return and exchange of goods in
volve many operations consuming
manpower, gasoline, rubber and pa
per. They carry packages without
grumbling and our number of re-
turns has dropped considerably.
Customers will do almost any,
thing when you say it's the patriotic
thing to do. They'll practically
break their necks trying to carry
packages they don't even have to
carry

this latter case, they may charge
an additional SO cents a tire.
Tire Men Scarce.
Mr.. Smith also indicated that GER
tain instructions issued to the in
spectors might give the entire pro-
gram a "farcical' complexion. He
referred specifically to those para
graphs in the instructions which
require the inspector to ask the
owner of the vehicle being inspect
ed whether any tire has been in
jured and not repaired and requir-
ing the inspector to demount such
tires at charge of SO cents. Mo-
torists also are asked whether their
tires have recently suffered any
shock caused by striking sharp OBJ
jects.
I Incompetent examinations, Mr..
Smith said, will not help the war
effort" He declared, in this con-
nection, that competent tiremen
are extremely scarce and added that
ut is obvious that great numbers
OF those appointed by local ration
boards will be incompetent
to perform the exacting duties nee
essary for thorough inspection of
tires"
Mr.. Smith told Mr.. Jeffers that
he hoped changes in the program
would be made to bring inspection
regulations Into some balance with
reality"
Must Bring Tire Records.
Whitney Leary, District OPA di-
rector, yesterday reminded car own
ers that they must remember to
bring with them to the inspection
stations the tire records given them
when they signed up during the
recent two-day registration in the
schools.
Mr.. Leary said inspectors are not
permitted to examine tires until
they have checked the serial num-
bers with the numbers actually ap-
pearing on the tires. During the
first few days of tire inspections
last week, large number of motor
lists were found to have registered
their serial numbers incorrectly
Where the discrepancy was slight
and obviously the result of careless
ness on the part of the car owner
the inspectors were allowed tc
change the tire record and make a
report to the local OPA.
