Director by McNut
Physical Fitness Division
Made Separate Committee
Under Reorganization

Charles P. Taft, brother of Sena-
tor Taft of Ohio, today was named
director of the Office of Community
War Services which was established
by an executive order yesterday to
replace the ONCE of Defense Health
and Welfare Services.
BY the order, ODHWS, which has
been under the Office of Emergency
Management with Federal Security
Administrator McNutt as director,
was transferred to the Federal Sc
curity Agency.
Major changes ordered by Mr..
McNutt today was removal of the
old Physical Fitness Division under
John B. Kelly from ODHWS to the
status Of a separate Committee on
Physical Fitness, with MIR. Kelly re-
porting directly to Mr. McNutt.
The physical = fitness program
aroused congressional ire early last
year when it was part of the Office
OF Civilian Defense with a staff of
''co-ordinators" for everything from
bowling to badminton. At the
height of the controversy, Mr. Nc
Mutt took it into the old ODHWS
where it has received little publicity.
Former Assistant Director.
Mr.. Taft was formerly assistant
director of ODHWS in charge of
health and welfare The two other
divisions were nutrition. which has
gone to the Agriculture Department
and physical fitness.
Mr.. McNutt said the reorganiza-
ton was in the interest of simplify
Ing and strengthening the channels
of Federal cooperation in meeting
essential health and welfare needs
throughout the country.
The Office of Community War
Services, he explained, will concern
itself with health, medical care, well
fare, recreation, education and re-
lated services, including divisions
for social protection and child care.
1t also will serve, Mr.. McNutt said,
as center for co-ordinating health
and welfare services. available
through Federal and other public
and private agencies which can help
communities meet wartime needs.
Gives Advice and Assistance.
The Committee on Physical Fit
ness, the reorganization order
stated. lis charged with similar
duties in its own field, working
with national, state and local or
ganizations responsible for Nation
wide promotional programs and for
advice and assistance to communi-
ties in developing and carrying out
plans to promote the interest of
individuals in improving their own
physical condition"
An FSA spokesman said the
physical fitness committee had a
small Washington staff and did
most of its work "in the field"
promoting conditioning" through
exercises, athletics and remedial
treatment.

"How these pesty fires started,

"But they were a nuisance. Under
the cover of the smoke and while
we were busy extinguishing the

our flanks. And they always man

It was during one such fire-and-
