Outside Jobs
ForD.C.Firemen
Urged by VINO
Would Place Them,
In Essential Jobs
In Off Hours

A proposal that the Commissioners
relax their Fire Department regu-
lations so firemen might be employed
IN essential work, such as driving
fuel delivery trucks when they are
on duty was made today by the War
Manpower Commission.
A letter from Fred z. Hetzel act
Ing area director, was received by
the commissioners during a board
meeting today and was released by
them without comment.
1t was expected that the sueges-
tioniof Mr.. Hetzel would be referred
to the District government Agency
Committee. which formulates rec
concentrations as to the deferment
Of District employees.
Earlier Case Recalled.
Several months ago, it was re-
called, score of firemen were found
to have been working in grocery
stores when officially off duty and
were reprimanded for violating rules
OF the Fire Department. The Com
missioners rejected the idea that
fremen be permitted to take outside
Jobs on the grounds that firemen
theoretically are subject to fire duty
at all times and should conserve
their energy for this protective serv-
Ice There was suggestion also
that experienced firemen might lose
their draft deferment status if they
were. deemed available for outside
duty.
However, there was no immediate
lndica ton of what view the Com
missioners might take on the sug-
eestion of Mr.. Hetzel, since 1t re-
lates to the use of firemen for other
essential work.
Conference Cited.
In his letter Mr.. Hetzel said:
In recent meetings the Area War
Manpower Committee has discussed
the possible use of the District fire.
men as a source of labor supply.
and 1t is at the suggestion of the
corporation counsel we are directing
this letter to you"
Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech said he had had
no conversations with Mr.. Hetzel
regarding the subject.)
you are no doubt aware of the
acute, shortage of certain types of
skilled labor in this area, and there
have been times during the past six
months when every available source
Of labor was canvassed, including
part-time help. 1t is conceivable
that during the coming fall and
winter seasons such emergencies
again will occur, particularly in the
distribution of fuel.
Would Aid Placement.
IF section % of article of the
Rules and Regulations of the Fire
Department could be interpreted so
IS to allow the part-time employ
ment of firemen in times of emer-
gency 1t would be distinct aid to
this office In the administering of
the War Manpower Commissions
program in this area.
Should such an arrangement be
effected, the area Office of the War
Manpower Commission would as
sumo the responsibility of determin-
ing where the men would be placed,
and 1t would be with the under
standing that they would be subject
to call at any time by the Fire De-
partment'
One official of the Fire Depart
ment said that while Fire Chief
Stephen T. Porter and other off,
cials of the department had been
"squarely opposed" to permitting
hrenen to take outside jobs, it was
recognized that a large majority"
Of the flremen themselves desired
legal permission to do so-to help

D. {. War Fund
Sets IA Goal
OF S4,80o,000
Campaign Will Be
Held in October,
Directors Announce

The goal Of the Community War
Fund campaign for the year 1914
will be $4,000 600, 1t was announced
today by e. c. Graham, general
chairman, who described it as the
largest goal ever set for a fund
raising drive in this area" Last
years goal was $1,000, 900.
Mr.. Graham said the goal was
adopted unanimously yesterday by
the board Of directors. The cam
paign, which will take place in Oc-
tober, will take in more than 100
agencies, including social and health
groups serving the Washington area,
the United Service Organizations
and other agencies serving men and
women OF the armed forces and re-
lief agencies aiding the Allies.
THE goal is large" Mr.. Graham
said, because Of unprecedented
needs.
And yet" he added, "after hear
Ing the opinions expressed at the
meeting Of the board OF directors,
am confident that the people of the
Washington area can and will dis
charge their responsibilities to those
at home, to our men and women In
the armed forces and to the Allies
Of the United States in the present
conflict"
Volunteers Preparing.

chairman Of the fund, pledged the
support Of the volunteer workers
who will raise the money sought
He said that I'VE are already en-
thusiastically building the organiza-
tion which will carry this appeal to
every citizen in this area"
William J. Flather, jr, chairman
Of the Committee on Admissions
and Budgets, who presented the pro-
posed amount to the board, ex-
planned it covered only the most i'm
portant needs for 1914.
THE amount adopted" he said,
represents only definite and spe-
cific needs. There were many items
not absolutely necessary in the i'm
mediate future which were request
ed of the committee, but which
were refused in view Of the tre-
mendous and unprecedented needs
for the coming. year.
I'VE Of . the committee feel that
this amount represents the min
imum that is compatible with the
needs here at home and with WASH
ington's ability to meet It's share OF
national and United Nations relief
needs"
Committee Heads Named.
Mr.. Jennings said the campaign
will take place earlier than War
Fund or Community Chest cam
paigns Of past years. The change
was made necessary, it was said, be-
cause of the formation of the Ma
tional War Fund, which will promote
similar campaigns throughout the
country in October.
Mr.. Jennings, who said that the
enrolment of the $4,000 volunteers
needed Is ahead of last year, re-
