1t was also pointed out that yes
terday was the first surprise daylight
test when winter forced all win
dows to be closed. At night, officials
said, the darkening of the street
light following the sounding of the
sirens gave people clue to black
out but in the daytime, they had to
rely on hearing the sirens.
More Auxiliaries Needed.
AS another aftermath of yester-
days test, Maj. Edward j. Kelly, SUI
perintendent of police, made an ap-
peal for 1000 more auxiliary police
men to supplement the present reg
ular and auxiliary force.
Downtown compliance, he pointed
out, must have been partially due
to dispatching to the street two
schools of rookie police Other reg
ular police were in Police Court,
Since wardens cannot stop traffic,
motorists continued to drive yes
terday where they were not stopped
by police or auxiliaries and did not
hear the sirens
More widespread auxiliary police
coverage was necessary. Maj. Kelly
said, to put the whole city on a
prepared basis.
The present strength of the aux
iliary force is $500 men although
the force has lost $500 since it
was organized and has had to find
requirements. More than double the
present strength is necessary, the
police superintendent said.

Moore Will Oppose Lee
Appointment 10 CAB
BY the Associated Press

~ '''S 'hoooNintcu lcss.
Senator Moore, Republican. of
Oklahoma announced he will oppose
the confirmation of former Senator
Lee OF Oklahoma as member of the
Civil Aeronautics Board if Presi-
dent Roosevelt again submits Mr..
Lees nomination to the Senate
The President sent Mr.. Lees
nomination to the Senate in the
closing days of the Seventy seventh
Congress. On the last day, Major
lty Leader Barkley said no action
would be taken on it, because it
had not been intended to have the
nomination acted on during that
Congress. He said a White House
clerical error had resulted in its
being sent to the Senate at that
time. The nomination died with the
Seventy-seventh Congress.
L shall oppose Lees nomination
as a member of the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board, if it Is again submitted
to the Senate because he is not
qualified" Senator Moore said in a
statement. He has been rejected
by the voters of Oklahoma"
"As for the duties of the board,
Lee has no qualifications whatever"
Senator Moore said, adding:
Il am opposed to appointment,
generally of lame ducks. The
country is at war for its very ex-
istence. When a man has been
repudiated by the voters at home
1t certainly indicates a lack of con-
fldence that the people have in him
to perform that character OF pub
lie service that the public wants"

New Woman Representative
Would Rather Be Back Home
Miss Stanley, 33,
Enjoyed Buffalo
Job as Prosecutor

Miss Winifred C. Stanley, 33-year-
old Republican Representative at
large from New York who began her
congressional career yesterday, would
much rather be back home in Buffalo
prosecuting errant citizens.
Miss Stanley is one OF seven
woman Representatives in the new
Congress.
my job as assistant district at
torney in Erie County was so inter-
esting,' Miss Stanley said, but
suppose this, too, will be an interest,"
ing experience. That's what every
body has been telling me-"
She is small and slender, weighing
not much more than 100 pounds. Her
youthful face is framed by pre-
maturely white hair.
MY mother had white hair when
she was 10 and my father when he
was 81, so I didn't have chance.
got it from both Sides" she said.
Miss Stanley and her secretary,
Miss Abba Hauck, also a lawyer, are
looking for an inexpensive" apart
ment. For the time being they are
staying at the Willard Hotel.
The new Representative didn't
know that she was to be nominated
for Congress at the New York State
Republican Convention at Saratoga
Springs until 10 minutes before it
was done.
Had mo Idea" of Running.
Il went down the aisle looking
over some notes for my speech Sec
onding the nomination of Nathan
iel Goldstein for attorney general
when I suddenly was told that I
would be nominated 10 minutes
later for Representative at large"
she said. You know how those
things are done. They had been
maneuvering back and forth about
filling that second at-large nomina-
ton, and they suddenly settled on
me- I didn't have the faintest idea
of running"
Representative Stanley has no
'preconceived ideas" about foreign
policies, national service legislation,
or future League of Nations.
Il am interested in our winning
the war as quickly as possible" she
said. Il suppose there should be
international cooperation after
ward-some system of policing the
world, the same way you police a
county or city"
Recognizing that committee ap-
pointments are ruled by seniority,
she expressed a desire to be able
to utilize her legal knowledge pos
sibly on the Judiciary or Patents
Committees.
Like Miss Stanley. Mrs. Clare
Boothe Luce, Connecticut Repub-
lican, is freshman member. Mrs.
Luce, widely known as a playwright
and journalist. appeared for the
opening session in a royal purple
sport dress, with an ascot striped in
light blue and black, repeating colors

at Thirty-sixth and Prospect streets
NV, to provide 28 or more addi-

pointed in connection with the
hospital program began a drive to
obtain definite commitments from

Removal of the training school
and large recreation room from the
hospital proper" said Henry j. Sui
Ivan, FWA assistant regional di-
rector for the Washington Metro
politan Area, will make space avail
able for more beds in Georgetown
Hospital"
Meanwhile, delay was recon-
mended Yesterday in approval of
further projects until definite COM
mltments for adding beds in exist
ing space can be obtained from the
hospital authorities. The suggestion
originated with one of the special
groups assigned at Tuesdays con-
terence to work out particular
phases of the differences which
already have held up the construc-
ton program several weeks.
Another outcome of the meeting
was recommendation that the
WPB approve construction of new
lOO-bed hospitals at Cheverly and
Bethesda. Md.
1t also was agreed that the vene-
real disease phase of the program
should be tabled until next week for
