necessary for carrying out the pro-
visions of the act of December 26,
1941 to authorize blackouts in the
District of Columbia, as amended
by the Act of August 6, 1912 :"
On July 10, 1913, the President
approved another amendment to
the Blackout Act authorizing funds
not exceeding $4,000 a year for the
coordination of a nonprotectiye
volunteer civilian services.
BY striking out specific mention
of the August 6 amendment, and
simply referring to the Blackout
Act "as amended" District officials
said, they would be able to follow
Mr.. Coffee's suggestion.
Mr.. Coffee said his committee had
not intended to "penalize any one
group" but to leave to the Com
missioners how the reductions would
be allocated.
Although Civilian War Services
Is not primarily an operating
agency, District officials pointed
out, its loss would mean the cur
tailment of number of services
for which Civilian War Services
supplies and supervises volunteers.
Approximately $4,000 volunteers are
now serving under the direction of
Civilian War Services.
Most recent of its undertakings
has been the Draft Aid Center
which, since its inception early in
February, has given assistance to
$500 selectees and their families,
Volunteers, under the supervision
OF an executive secretary, tell the
selectees what documentary EVIL
dence they must take with them
to prove they have dependents for
family allowances and how to get
the documentary evidence, and ad-
wise wives Of servicemen what to
do about delayed allowances.
They tell pregnant wives of sery-
icemen about emergency maternal
and infant care, give them the
blanks to apply for the care at
Government expense and help them
NIL out the forms. They also give
prospective servicemen the insur-
ance forms necessary for the Gov
eminent to assume the RESPONSE

ance.

Army Adopts
Leg Man. to
War Needs

NEW YORK, April 10 Up
- The United States Infantry
has adopted a valuable old ad-
junct of big city journalism -
the "leg man."
A leg man is a newspaper
reporter who chases around aft
er the fact for news stories but
does no writing himself. To ia
cilitate speed he merely tele-
phones his facts to "rewrite
man" in the newspaper effiee..
Time Magazine said today Ia
such leg men already had been
dispatched to battlefronts by the
Infantry, and that eventually
every active division would
have with it leg man gather
ing facts Of battle for transmits
sion to civilian newsmen back of
the lines.
The first contingent, members
Of q ground force news corps,
are all experienced newspaper
men. All but one have had COM
bat training. While gathering
news they will dig in and fight.
The Marine Corps also has
m b at correspondents, but
these carry typewriters n d
write stories In moments of tran
guilty.

Lieut.. Moody, whose home is

Deputies Prevent
Harrison Fire

Quick action on the part OF
two deputy sheriffs today pre-
vented fire damage to a house
at 3540 Campau Lane, Harrison
Township, when a defective
valve on a stove burner caused
flames TO roar freely from the
stove.
The alarming incident was re-
ported by Mrs. George Deisz,
wife of a man now with the
armed forces, who was using the
stove when the valve broke at
$50 a. m.
Deputies Leon Kandt and
Cornelius Gudenau hurried to
the house on Mrs. Diesz' sum-
mons, and Gudenau crawled be-
meath the dwelling and turned
off the flow of gas.
Mrs. Deisz and her two daugh-
ters, at home at the time, were
unframed by the incident, and
no damage was done to the
building, although the stove
flames were licking the ceiling.

Italian kinq
Gets Little
Sympathy

LONDON, April l3-(P)-
London newspapers expressed
little sympathy today for Italy's
King Vittorio Emanuele in his
announcement he would turn
over his Royal powers to his son
Umberto when the Allies enter
Rome.
The Democratic parties
would no doubt have preferred
that it should take effect forth
with and not await the recovery
Of Rome, said the times. Their
objection to collaboration with
the monarch who SO grossly be-
traycd his charge and so long
condoned the misrule Of MuSso-
lini are Ineligible enough"
The fact that he got rid of
MusSolini in 1913 could not
purge the offense of accepting
him in 1922, commented the
Daily Mail. The monarchy
had become a token of inStabll-
ity and he has wisely recognized
that fact
Soviet recognition, the Mail
added, undoubtedly strength
cncd Marshal (Pietro) Badoglio
in tn difficult task of asking for
the king retirement
The Daily Herald declared
the policy Of the Allies, con-
fused and hcsitant in the past,
should now be plain. 1t is to in
terfere as little as possible, to
help and encourage as much as
possible :. The widest free
dom must be given the Italians
TO settle their own affairs in
their own way"

heard Patterson's frantic yells
and pounding on the walls.
The humorous angle to the
near-tragic incident which still
amusCS Patterson and Thibideau
was their confusion which de-
layed the inventors escape.
After finding himself trapped
in the solid cold room, when the
door jammed tight, Patterson
shouted and banged the walls
for 10 minutes until he aroused
the attention Of Thibideau in a
nearby building
ANOTHER WAIT
The youth came 10 the cold
room door and shouted in to
Patterson: Can you get out?'
Patterson, thinking the lad
had said; DO you want TO get
out?" replied with emphasis,
He'll, yes"
Accordingly Thibideau walk
cd away and did not come back
for another 10 minutes, when
the pounding became unbear-
able.
Patterson was at the Artificial
Ice Company's cold room on
North avenue, at Union street.
He carried his patented de-
icing equipment into the cold
room, and having worked stren-
uously before that time, was

Chewed-Up George Reconversion Bill
 Passed By House
Read How Tories Defeated Liberal Amendments
 And Then Weep!

A reactionary blitzkrieg spear headed by the combined Republican and polltax Democratic leaders of the House swept all liberal opposition aside last week to send the emascu- lated George reconversion bill into conference with the Senate.
 Ignoring warnings that the house was asking for postwar trou- ble by its deliberate slap at planned recOnversion, the impatient tory bloc chewed up and spat out every amendment offered from the floor to ease the shock of transition from war to peace production.
 As starter, the Republican and southern Democratic group knocked out the Dingell bill, writ ten by the AFL and indorsed by the CIO and Railroad Brother hoods. The DingeH measure was offered as a substitute to the re- vised and weakened George bill as written by the ways and means committee. On a teller vote the House licked the liberals by l88 to 54. There was no roll call.
 Then the steam roller of the states fighters went into action and amend men after amendment was killed by
