accounted for nearly 100 bushels of
corn before going back to their city
apartments at the end of the day.
T. c. Henderson of Chantilly, who
faced the loss of his entire corn crop,
watched approvingly as the piles of
freshly -husked corn grew. Mr.. Hen
derson commented that while these
city folk might not shuck as clean as
men experienced in farm work, they
did good job.
In addition to operating crop
and dairy farm at Chantilly, Mr..
Henderson is Farm Security Admin

Some Localities

Injuries to auxiliaries on regular
police or fire duty may be COM
pensated under the war civilian
security program, Civilian Defense
Director James M. Lands has noti-
fed OCD regional directors, it was
learned today.
In a great many instances. he
announced, activities of members of
the Citizens Defense Corps will be
considered to be performance of
official duties even though not in
consequence of or in direct prepara-
ton for enemy attack.
He pointed out, however, that the
broad program of training and of
fetal duties outlined in the OCD
regulations may be limited by a
definite policy. in some localities,

President Allocates Funds.
In the District, auxiliary police
and flremen have been restricted
to activities during blackouts and
daylight raids or tests One of the
reasons given was that the District
had no funds to compensate in
jured volunteers.
Under the war civilian security
program, $5,o0OOOO was allocated
by the President to the Federal
Security Agency to provide tempo
rary aid to civilian defense workers
injured while in the performance
of their duties" and to dependents
of injured or killed defense work.
ers. In his operations letter to
regional directors, Mr. Lands ex-
planned what constituted official
duties.
I'm view Of the fact that there
has been no intensive bombing in
this country to date he explained,
''it has been necessary to determine
methods of training and practice
in accordance with existing situa-
tions. 1t is particularly important
to seek opportunities for field train
ing in situations which approximate
as nearly as possible conditions of
enemy attack
In the case of auxiliary police
and firemen, he said. the most
effective training" is provided by
having the auxiliaries operate in
conjunction with regular police and
fire services of community.
Terming 1t appropriate and
desirable" to have the auxiliaries
work with the regular forces, he
emphasized that the training would
include responding to ordinary
police Or fire calls, That practice
was followed here until the Com
missioners limited the duties of the
auxiliaries.
Also considered covered under the
general heading of performance of
duties and therefore subject to
compensation were duties performed
by civilian defense workers in dis
aster relief, The Boston night club
fire and floods in Virginia, Mary
land, West Virginia, Ohio and Penn
sylvania were cited as examples.
On the other hand, civilian de-
fense workers who are injured or
killed in performance of any duties
not authorized by the local authori-
ties will not be entitled to COM
pensation, Mr.. Lands said.
The personnel Offices of the Citi-
zens Defense Corps in each locality
will certify as to the status of the
claimant for relief under the War
Civilian Security Program and as
to whether the injury or death was
sustained in performance of civilian
duties. This certification, MI. Lam
dis said, is subject to review by the
OCD and the Federal Security
Agency.

Scans Budget
On Libraries
Miss CIuru w. Herbert
Explains Estimates
To Subcommittee
BY JAMES f. CHIN.

Wartime demands on the public
library services were outlined to
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee today by Miss Clara w. Herbert,
librarian.
She was called before the subcom-
mittee which is reviewing the 1914
District budget to defend the library
estimates which called for a total
appropriation of S62 73l for opera
ton of the library 81 tenn during the
12-month period beginning July /.
This represents reduction OF SILL
812 under the appropriation for the
current fiscal year, which ends
June 80.
The subcommittee was told that
Washington's inflated population,
coupled with technical information
sought by various Government
agencies working on win-the-war
problems are making greater de-
mands on the library services than
ever before.
Even so, the budget provides only
$4,000 for new stocks of books and
periodicals, $1,000 less than the 1943
fiscal year appropria ton and lowers
the maintenance fund from S5l 625
to $5l LOTS. The item for personal
services, however, is raised in the
new budget from S475 1853 to S499 ,096.
A portion of this increase is allo-
Gated for employment of four addi-
tional employees to operate war

Before the library estimates
reached Congress in January, they
were cut at the Budget Bureau
Principal slashes were made in items
to put the Chevy Chase and Wood
ridge branches on 72-hour weekly
operating basis and to establish
new branch at the Langston housing
development for colored persons.
The 1914 estimates of the sewer,
refuse and electrical departments
also are scheduled to be scrutinized
today by the subcommittee.
