The Red Cross today made a spe-
cial appeal to women in the South
east section Of the city.
Trained Red Cross nurses aides
are needed badly at Gallinger Hos
pital.
To meet the need, the Red Cross
started its first class In the South
east section a month ago. Volun-
teers In that class now are doing
their probationary hospital work at
Gallinger.
But double the number now COM
plotting their training are sought
for Gallinger, which is in a different
position than any other hospital in
the city.
In the first place, Gallinger pa
tients, except In cases of emergency,
for isolation or the psychopathic
ward, come there mainly because
they can't afford to go elsewhere.
Naturally. they can't pay for spe-
cial nurses as the really Ill do at
other hospitals.
Special duty nurses relieve gen.
eraI nurses for work among the
other patients but that is not true
ut Gallinger. There are few spe-
cials there, so the general nurses
must devote most OF their time to
the most serious cases, frequently
made more critical by illnesses that
90 with inferior living conditions.

Pvt. Harold r. Chrisman of SNa-
cuse, N. Y, . military policeman
was headed back to his post in q
Midwestern city today, perhaps
more impressed with the fact that
he's fighting for a democracy than
any soldier who has visited WASH
ington lately.
Pvt. Chrisman was an impromptu
guest for dinner at the White House
yesterday. 1t came about in this
way:
He had six hours to wait between
trains, so he drifted into the serv-
icemen's lounge at Union Station
At that time, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt was at the station await
ing the arrival of a belated train
bearing her daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. John Boettiger
OF Seattle. She also visited the
lounge. Mrs. Roosevelt and Pvt.
Chrisman fell into conversation.
Mrs. Roosevelt decided she
couldn't wait any longer for the
train-she had an appointment at
the White House. Observing the
ban on automobile pleasure driving,
she'd taken q streetcar to the sta
ton and planned to ride one home
I'D like to escort you to the
trolley" the soldier offered.
I'D be honored to have an M. P.
accompany me-" Mrs. Roosevelt re-
piled.

Traffic Accidents Drop
InMontqomeyCounty

Despite q drop of nearly so per
cent in the number of traffic ac-
cidents and injuries in Montgomery
County last year. the number of
fatalities remained almost the same
as In 194l, County Chief of Police
Andrew M. Newman announced yes
terday.
The accident rate decreased sharp
ly after gasoline rationing began last
summer and showed q further de-
cline after Inauguration of the 35-
mile-an-hour speed limit, according
to the county traffic chart.
A total Of 439 accidents, 152 in
1uries and IL fatalities was reported
in the county in 1912. This COM
pares with 1877 accidents, 274 injuries
and IA fatalities in 194l.

They waited and waited for q
car, and finally Mrs. Roosevelt
said: "Oh, let's walk"
So they walked the mile and q
half to the White House. Pvt.
Chrisman said afterward he had
hard time keeping up with the
Presidents wife. On the way. she
pointed out buildings OF interest.
When they reached the White
House, Mrs. Roosevelt said: I'D
like to have you come in for
dinner"
Would he? He was thrilled. Din
ner was served in a room on the
second floor, with the guests in
Guiding Mrs. Harry Hopkins and
young Diana Hopkins and Mrs.
George S. Huntington Of Charles
ton, S. c., a house guest.
Turkey was the piece dc resist
ance-"one that came too late for
Christmas" Mrs. Roosevelt ex-
planned. There were an eyster
cocktail, candied sweet potatoes,
diced beets, broccoli, salad and hot
rolls, grape sherbet, fruit cake and
tea. Before dinner was over the
Boettigers arrived.
Then Pvt. Chrisman went back to
the station to catch his train, de-
scribing his experience to q wonder
ing and admiring group of COM
rades.

500 Lodgings
Are Inspected
In Safety Drive
Regular Stoff Of 6
Augmented by II /
To Speed Work

The District building inspec-
ton force has been tripled and
nearly 600 rooming houses have
been inspected for fire and build
ing safety devices since the
Commissioners last Tuesday
called for a sweeping inquiry
into structures suspected as fire
hazards, it was learned today.
Col. Joseph D. Arthur. Jr., Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, reported
excellent" progress to date and said
he was confident that a backlog OF
applications for municipal licenses
to operate rooming and boarding
houses would be cleared in the near
future.
Seventeen additional inspectors
borrowed from the plumbing, elec-
trical and building departments
have been added to the staff of six
regular District inspectors, he said.
All are working under Building In
spector Robert H. Davis.
DatS 0eln& Transcribed.
Mrs. Harry 8. Benton, head of
the OCD Central Volunteer Bureau,
reported that between so and 10
volunteers are working full or part
time TRANSFERRING rooming house
data at the Rent Control Admins
tration headquarters. to be turned
over to District ofncials.
She estimated 1t would REQUIRE
all Of this week to complete the
task OF TRANSFERRING 10000 files of
valuable information on the citys
rooming houses.
With 600 places already inspected,
this will cut to about 600 the num-
Der Of establishments yet to be in
spected. Col. Arthur disclosed a
backlog Of about 1900 applications
last Tuesday He pointed out today
that many Of these were for renewal
OF licenses. Licenses to operate
rooming houses expire each October
81, and accordingly the District
Building had been swamped with
applications.
The Commissioners ordered a sur
vey following the death OF two per-
sons In q rooming house December
81 in the 1900 block of Euclid street
NV. They made it plain that If
rooming house operators failed to
comply with fire regulations, they
would have to reduce the number
Of tenants.
Col. Arthur said the District had
not yet ordered any place shut
down Or the occupancy reduced.
He said landlords were given a
limited time, following inspection
Of premises, in which to comply
with recommendations of inspec-
tors II this is not done, then an
order for tenant reduction will be
ordered.
The Commissioners have urged
that owners of private homes here
with one or more spare rooms plan
to take in roomers as one means
Of alleviating the acute housing
shortage. This will also provide
additional facilities in the event
some rooming houses have to reduce
the number Of tenants.

1000 See Big Bombing Raid
Through Snowstorm at C.. u.
Civilian Defense Experts stuqe Show
RepIete With Fire and Detonotions

The nearest thing to an actual
bombing raid Washington ever has
experienced rocked Catholic Uni
versity stadium yesterday.
Almost as heroic as the men
and women who fought real fires
and carried simulated victims from
debris were the more than 1000
spectators who peered through the
snow to watch the demonstration.
Actually the snow lent realism
to the spectacle. People heard the
sound of airplanes over the loud
speaker. heard William G. Sweet
man, the chemical warfare expert
in charge of the demonstration, YELL
ing there they come"
The snow kept them from seeing
what might have been in the sky as
bombs shattered the shacks on the
field and fires ragged through the
debris.
Auxiliary f1remen, rescue squads,
stretcher bearers, fire watchers,
wardens, gas decentralization and
road repair crews and auxiliary po-
lice went through their PAGES with
out rehearsal. For most of them it
was the first time they had ever
seen an incenditary bomb or worked
on a field constantly being rocked
by explosions.
More Than a Spectacle.
It wasn't Just a spectacle. Mr..
Sweetn1an, before the village" was
| to be wrecked, went through series
of demonstrations to show the civil
ian defense volunteers what they
might have to face, as well as to
demonstrate to the general public
why they should keep their attics
clear of debris and how they should
use the stirrup pumps they will
soon be able to purchase.
Early in the game Mr.. Sweetman
yelled to a photographer venturing
near the shacks, Keep away from
there. You'll be blown up" The
spectators forgot their umbrellas and
leaned forward.
He showed them why they should
use a jet instead of a spray of water
on the bombs. Playing stream of
water on one of the new type
"burster" fire bombs, which have an
explosive charge, he kept his dis
lance Suddenly shrapnel and
flames shot high into the snow-f1lled
air. No sign of fire was left in the
shack.
You see, we can lick even the
new fire bombs" Mr.. Sweetman
commented.
Women volunteers were called on
! the field to throw jets from hoses
against the incendiaries. Mr.. Sweet
man pointed out that they weren't
trying to extinguish the fire, only
to hasten its burning out. He
showed them that the sparks and
white flames streamed in the OPP
posite direction, away from them.
A line of laundry was strung be-
tween two shacks. To show the
effect of blast. Mr.. Sweetman set
off a high explosive. The line of
laundry disappeared.
Then came the hum of airplanes.
Fire engulfed shack. A warden
patrolling the area called in his
report to the control center set up
on the field. A road repair squad
was summoned first to clear away
the debris that blocked passage of
| the fire truck. That vehicle then
appeared, manned by auxiliary fire.

around the track from their start
ing point. Mr.. Sweetman ordered
them to throw unmixed chloride of
lime on the gas-affected patch, Just
to show why they had to make a
mixture. A greenish explosion drove
them back. They mixed lime with
sand and went ahead.
The planes returned in a second
wave-that is, the sound of planes.
An explosion threw warden off
his feet. A building crumpled. The
attack was mixture of explosives
and incendiaries. More fire ap-
paratus and the rescue squad.
While firemen were fighting the
effects of an oil bomb and stretcher
bearers were carrying casualties"
to an AWVS ambulance, incen-
dieries dropped" in another part Of
the field. The flremen were busy so
the fire watchers went to work.
I'm this dust and debris and with
the blackout," Mr.. Sweetman said,
ever realistic, the doctors will
make quick examination of the
victims, They'll have to get them
to a hospital"
The AWVS ambulance rolled
away around the track. The smoke
started to clear. The last of the
fire was subdued. The raiders" had
passed.
