Major Arthur NJ. Nelson in the
FairmoUnt Daily Sentinel editorially
touches on a subject often wondered
about by the common citizen. Major
Nelson says: lit seems the big shots
in Washington should give some mill
tary recognition to the men who are
giving their services without pay as
members Of the four or five thousand
local selective service boards. At ma
tional headquarters in Washington,
chaps with the full rank of general
are so thick they step on each others
toes. At the AZ state headquarters
there are colonies and captains, majors
and Ieutenants galore, all enjoying
the honorS and the emolumentS Of
army rank. But the poor fish on the
local boards, the ones who really do
the work, are not even recognized to
the extent Of making them privates
second class. Certain it is that if there
is to be a military motif to the setup
it should be carried clear through
viii some one please announce his
candidacy for Congress on a platform
pledged to remove this injustice? We
want TO plug for him.

As little as 35 years ago the salary
of a member of the state legislature
was SIS a day. Then the salary was
raised to $1,000 for the term. Next
came the mileage grab of several
hundred additional dollars and now
salary has been raised to $1,000.
Frankly, we think that $1,000 for a
three-month, part-time job, with con-
siderable honor attached, is too much.
It represents approximately a 800 per
cent increase in IS years. A few men,
bers are worth it, but majority are

In life the late Charles M. Schwab

counted one Of this country's richest
and shrewdest men, says Bert Pearson
in hte Virginia Daily Enterprise. But
even men Of great talent and gifts can
run into hard luck, and this Mr..
Schwab did, so that at his death he
owed more than remained in assets.

bulance number.
Calls. for physicians to respond
to sick calls, which do not require
ambulance service or which are not
in the category of emergency am
bulance calls, are to be routed to
the Medical Bureau, 1718 M street

Calls regarded as of questionable
nature'-Where there is doubt as to
how serious the need is-are to be
given to operators of the police

ton and report. If such cases are
found to warrant disqualification,
the persons are to be removed at
once by the scout ar-ambulances

The report of DR.. Reed explained
that in all cases of questionable
character, beyond the detail set
down in the agreements, the chief
fire alarm operator is to use his
independent judgment and he is

the most important thing is to see
that assistance is dispatched to the
scene of any call with the minimum

Ambassador Armour
Reported as Likely
Successor 10 WeIIes

BY the Associated Press.
Norman Armour, Ambassador
to BuenoS Aires and a career
diplomat, appears to have the
inside track in the field of pos
sible successors to Undersecre-
tary of State Welles, when and
if Mr.. Welles' resignation is an
nounced.
Breckenridge Long, Assistant Sec
rotary of State, has strong congress
sional backing, associates said today,
but man with more diplomatic
experience is expected to be the ulti-
mate choice.
There had been widespread spec
ulation in Washington that Mr..
Welles, despite his rift with Mr.. Hull,
might go on missions to South
America or Moscow as President
Roosevelt's personal representative.
There were authoritative reports to-
day, however, that Mr.. Welles def
nitely was out of the diplomatic
picture, and the likelihood of a
future assignment was slim indeed.
Armour Is Now Here.
Mr.. Armour is in Washington
now "for consultation" and there
was some doubt that he would re-
turn to Buenos Aires very soon be-
cause of Argentina's failure to break
off relations with the Axis powers.
The 56-year-old Armour Is per-
haps personally the most popular of
United States Ambassadors. Strict
ly a career diplomat, he has never
mixed in politics. but his friends
say that he would charm any Sena-
tor or Representative who met him,
and that Mr.. Long could continue
his liaison service with Congress as
Assistant Secretary.
Tall and handsome, Mr.. Armour
has been a huge social success at
each of his many posts. And his
friends say he is a man of sound
judgment, with an analytical mind
trained in the law.
Knows Europe Very Well.
He knows Europe inside out, hav-
ing served at Petrograd, now Lenin-
grad Gin 19l6-18), Paris, Brussels.
The Hague and Rome. He is
acquainted with Japan and the Far
East, where he was counsellor of
the American Embassy in TOXIC
from 1925 to 1928. He is familiar
with inter- American problems and
the good-neighbor policy of Mr..
WelleS, since he has been Minister
to Haiti and Canada, Ambassador
to Chile and Argentina.
Mr.. Hull's requirements for an
undersecretary are threefold:
Loyalty, ability and the willingness
to assume much of the entertain
ment burden from the 72-year-old
Secretary, with the money to do it.
Mr.. Armour's friends say he meets
with all three-
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Mr.. Welles has written several
South American diplomats who are
personal friends telling them that
his resignation as Undersecretary of
State had been accepted five DAYS
ago.

combat theater command which
has been given to him.
Lord Louis arrived yesterday aft
ernoon by plane from Canada to
talk with Army and Navy oflicials.
The main objective Of his operations
will be to increase the present trickle
of supplies to China to a food, indi-
eating a general Burma campaign,
though attacks also may be made In
Malaga.
Long Campaign Expected.
There Is no optimistic feeling In
the Allied high command that any
Burma campaign can be cleaned up
quickly. On the contrary, ire con-
sensus is that it will be long and
difficult. and while operations prob
ably will begin late this fall, the OBJ
iective may not be achieved within q
year or longer.
Il feel very honored TO have been
appointed to the Southeast Asia
command" Admiral Mountbatten
said after he arrived here.
"As you know, 1t is an Allied COM
mand and I am particularly proud
that there will be United States
forces and British forces fighting
side by side with our Chinese allies
until we have finally thrown out the
Japs and the Anal victory is won"

Central Ambulance Service
Approved by c Commissioners

others participating in the emer-
gency ambulance service that the
central dispatching center-at fire
alarm headquarters-shall have full
control and authority over the dis
patch of emergency ambulances to
the scene of any accident.
Must Report Movements.
1t was explained in the agree
ments, as outlined for the Com
missioners by DR.. John A. Reed
chairman of the Board of Police and
Fire Surgeons, that this central con-
troll will in no way interfere with
the prerogative of hospital to dis
patch its own emergency ambulance
He added that it would be compul-
sorry for the particular hospital first
to notify the operator at headuuar-
tiers that such a run is contem-
plated. giving full particulars for the
records.
Under the new system the hos
pitfalls and other services working
under the agreement are to issue
orders to their personnel that it is
mandatory for them to carry out
orders received from the control
headquarters with dispatch and
accuracy"
All emergency ambulance calls
are to be recorded, dated and timed
by the operator. 1t is planned that
all hospital ambulances be num-
bered to facilitate reporting and &C.
counting for service. All fire de-
partment equipment already is
numbered.
Ambulance operators, after re-
spending to an emergency call or
other run, are directed upon return
to their quarters Immediately to re-
port "in service" over the telephone

later, by radio) and give a complete,
accurate account of the run and the
service rendered.

The Commissioners today gave
final approval to plans for a CEN
trally controlled ambulance dispatch
service to assure prompt service for
accident victims and cases of sudden
Illness.
The new system, the need for
which was emphasized in recent
months in articles and editorials in
The Star, probably will be started
next Wednesday. 1t provides for
close coordination and reporting
on the operations of the Is avail
able ambulances.
Bids were to be opened at the
District Building today on proposed
contracts for the provision of two
way radio apparatus for 10 of the
emergency vehicles lacking the
equipment. Capt. Herbert A.
Friede, superintendent of the fire
alarms system, said he was hopeful
priorities would be granted.
The equipment, which is subject
to the new dispatching control
plan, includes 10 police scout car
ambulances, two Casualty Hospital
ambulances, two at Emergency Hos
pltal, one at Freedmen's Hospital,
two Health Department vehicles,
three Fire Department ambulances.
and two Fire Department rescue
cars
Proposals for development of such
a system were developed at con-
ferences initiated by Commissioner
Guy Mason after The Star had
described in a series of articles how
persons seriously injured in traffic
accidents were left lying as long as
an hour in streets because of delays
and confusion over receipt of calls
for ambulances.
