B and T. Card Holders
Must Have Tires
Inspected This Week
DC. OPA Warns Failure
Will Make Drivers
Ineligible for Cos

District motorists holding B or G
gasoline rationing books were
warned last night that they must
have their tires inspected before
midnight next Saturday.
Failure to comply. the District
OPA said, will make drivers ineligi-
BILE to obtain gasoline
Tires may be inspected at any one
of the Districts 287 official inspec-
ton stations. Filling stations, auto
mobile dealers and garages permit
ted to inspect tires are identified
through the signs they display.
Officials at the local OPA office
said large number of car-owners
here have not yet had their tires
inspected despite the schedule which
was drawn up last November, setting
aside certain dates for each motorist
or the basis of his license tags. The
OPA office urged drivers to attend
to these inspections early this week
to avoid a laSt-minute rush before
the deadline.
Tire inspectors are authorized to
charge Is cents for the service when
it is not necessary for them to re-
move any of the tires. If the tires
must be taken off the wheels for
more thorough inspection, an addi-
tional fee of so cents per tire may
be charged Motorists must present
their tire inspection records when
they apply for inspections.
A book drivers have an extra
month to get their tires inspected.
They must appear for inspections
not later than February %.
The original deadline of January
81 for A, B and C drivers was pushed
back by the OPA after the value of
coupons in the East had been cut
from four to three gallons and
pleasure driving had been banned.

0CD Heads Complete
Plans for BIackout
Test Tomorrow Niuht
Gen. Reckord to Outline
New Signal System in
Radio Talk Tuesday

Civilian defense officials an
nounced yesterday that plans were
complete for the blackout scheduled
to be held in the Washington mill
tary district between 8 and 10 pm
tomorrow. It will be the eighteenth
test arranged since the civilian de-
fense program went into effect in
this area.
The blackout was ordered by the
Commissioners as a means of &C
quainting the public and the pro-
tective services with the new air
raid signal system which was given
its first tryout last Wednesday.
Nearby areas of both Virginia and
Maryland will take part These will
include Alexandria and Arlington
and Fairfax Counties in yir-
ginia and Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties in Maryland.
Meanwhile. Maj. Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, commanding general of
the 3rd Service Command, an
nounced he will make a 15-minute
radio address on an Owl program
at 7:45 pm. Tuesday to increase the
public's familiarity with the new
signals. An effort will be made to
carry the broadcast to all residents
of the areas of Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia in the 3rd Serv-
ice Command.
Warns of Penalties.
Gen. Reckord said he believed the
confusion in some communities
during the first test of the new raid
signals last Wednesday was due
principally to lack of understanding
by the public and many wardens.
He added he would attempt to
clarity thes situation by concise
explanation Of the plan Of op-
erations.
I'VE have made every possible
effort to obtain the widest publicity
on the new regulations which be-
came effective Wednesday" he said.
More publicity is sorely needed. I
am requesting every one to obtain
and read the instructions. They are
fully available and I repeat my
warning that violations of the regu-
lations face stiff penalties"
When time for the blackout ar
rives tomorrow night, the first signal
to be sounded will be the blue, a
long steady blast on sirens and
horns indicating that enemy planes
are approaching All lights must
be extinguished except those spe-

having all instructions issued di-
rectly to the unit heads instead of
to the committees
Activities of the Civilian Mobiliza-
ton Division, the report said, are
almost entirely a duplication Of
the work of existing agencies" 1t
suggested that it would have been
better to gear the purposes for
which the division was established
into those agencies" 1t also recon-
mended that the so-called block
leader" plan could be more eco
nomically handled through exist
ing civic organizations.
Wardens' Morale Lowered.
Mr.. Ableman said no effort had
been made to clarity the status of
the auxiliary police and predicted
detection from the ranks until their
legal position became clear The
report contended that the morale
Of the warden service had been
lowered by great mass of orders
and Instructions many of which
were conflicting and ridiculous.
Lack of an adequate number of
tests of sufficient length, and simu-
lated incidents which have no rela-
ton TO actual conditions, have
caused much confusion" it added
The federation favored filling the
position of peoples counsel, direct
ing that an appeal be made to the
President and the chairman of the
House and Senate Appropriation
Committees. On the motion of John
H. Connaughton, vice chairman of
the Public Utilities Committee, the
group backed the recommendation
of the committee that petition be
filed for reconsideration Of the cur
tailed ebus service in Chillum,
Takoma and PetWorth.
The federation also voted to pass
a motion of Baxter Smith. chairman
of the Safety Committee, that por-
ton of the next meeting of the
citizens associations be devoted TO
problems of pedestrian safety and
that representatives be sent to a
proposed mass meeting.

Power Rates HEARINGS
March 7 Are Limited
To Sliding Scale
Decision to Continue
Or Change PIon to Be
Taken Up Later

The Public Utilities Commission
definitely decided in a aiority rul-
ing issued yesterday that the March
2 public hearings on power rates
will be devoted to the principles
embodied in the sliding-scale ar
rangement for annual rate adjust
ment. and that hearings will be held
at later date to determine whether
the plan should be continued or
changed.
The ruling. in which Gregory
Hankin dissented, decided point
brought UP at a pre-hearing con-
ference Friday in which it was pro-
posed that valuation matters re-
garding rate adjustment also be
considered
Potomac Electric Power Co. Off =
cials said at Fridays meeting that
it would take them six months to
prepare themselves for a discussion
of elements regarding valuation.
May Bring Reduction.
In statement, the majority men,
bers of the PUG, Chairman James
H. Flanagan and Engineer Com
missioner Charles w. Kutz. recalled
that it had appeared certain at the
pre-hearing conference that there
would be no increase in rates by ap-
plying the sliding-scale arrange
ment, but added that there Is a
probability that the hearing specific
ally will result in reduction of
rates"
The commission IS of the view
that the public should have de-
termination made promptly and that
any reduction should go into effect
without delay" the statement said
At Fridays meeting, questions
we're raised which challenged the
reasonableness of the sliding scale
arrangement and more particularly
as to certain fundamental elements
of the plan. In this connection, the
majority members said:
While the sliding-scale arrange
ment has proven itself unquestion-
ably to be a desirable thing to both
the public and the company, the
commission recognizes its duty ano
right to keep the arrangement under

Less than per cent of the wound

other injuries, the group was told
by DR.. w. E. Clark, presiding officer,

DR.. Clark said, was too modest to
tell how much he had suffered and
how he swan through shark infested
seas until picked up by destroyer.
Comdr. Hogan told one shark
story Three japanese were found
floating in the Pacific, he said. One
was dead, lashed to a raft. Two
were living. A rescue boat was sent
for them. Just before the rescuers
reached the raft giant shark rose
out of the water and took one of
the Japs. The other was rescued
Z. Low mortality of wounded was at
tributed to several factors by Comdr
Hogan. Each Marine platoon had
one medical corps man equipped
with a modern medical packet, in
cluding sulfa drugs, to administer
first aid. From that field service

including the newly developed mo-

this new valuable type of unit is
due Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntire

Roosevelt's personal physician, the
speaker said.
Man Blown 60 Feet.
One naval officer on board the
Wasp was blown 80 feet through the

deck OF the ship up to the bridge

broken leg, conclusion and other
injuries, but survived. and now is
getting along nicely"
He praised highly the courage OF
the crew of the Wasp, who reacted
calmly under stress of the tragedy

tify to the truth of the reports that

that it is reasonable and equitable.
To this end, the statement said,
the commission will issue an order
of investigation after the March
2 meeting and will hold public
hearings "as soon as practicable. :"
after giving reasonable notice to all
concerned. At these later hearings,
it was pointed out. the aim will be
to determine two matters:
l. Whether the sliding-scale ar
rangement should be continued
2. Whether there should be any
changes in the various elements
making up the arrangement.
TT is important that this be done,
but that it be done in an orderly
and thorough manner" asserted the
