New Army Role Cited.
1--WE feel that the new Army has
a new role-the enforcement of
peace" Mr.. Voorhees, said. I'VE are
shipping food into Germany and
Japan because we want the popula-
tions there to be strong enough to
do full days work and get back
on their feet economically"
The Assistant Secretary pointed
out to the Germans that bumper
crops this year and the generosity
of Congress and the American tax
payers have permitted surplus food
to be shipped abroad from bumper
crops here. He warned, however,
that the freezing over of the Great
Lakes and other factors must re-
duce the shipments this winter.
Mr.. Voorhees, suggested to the
Germans that they inform their fel-
low countrymen in the American
zone that this food is to be con-
served and given the fairest pos
sible distribution.
The Germans were guests earlier
at luncheon at the National Press
Club, at which they heard the
ethics and makeup of the typical

included Arthur Krock and Luther

Citizens Protest Move
To Reroute WIN. "a.
Buses ii Southeast

A request Of the Washington
Marlboro e. Annapolis Motor Lines
for rerouting of it's Bradbury local
bus line encountered opposition
from Bradbury Heights and Fort
Dupont Citizens Associations today
at a Public Utilities Commission
hearing.
A petition signed by POI Bradbury
Heights residents declared that
realty values would be lessened
traffic hazards increased in winter
and patrons forced to walk many
blocks uphill to bus stops in the
area north and east of Ridge road
Sc.
Bernard c. Pifer, spokesman for
the citizens association, said his
group did not object to various
other suggested rerouting on South
ern avenue. The plan discussed at
today's hearing was revised by the
bus company after its original route
change petition last January.
Company officials told the COM
AllooAO01 C1ldO oOl1lC Vi OllC 1ul U1lSI
objections by the neighborhood
residents could be met by amend
ing the plan still more and moving
several stops closer to Forty-fourth
street and to Ridge road.
John Estes, spokesman for the
Fort Dupont Citizens Association,
said residents of that section had
no complaint against proposals OF
the Bradbury Heights group, but
believed the bus company should
give more service to the Fort Du-
pont area. This is especially de-
sirable, he said, because some chill
dren have to walk as far as 16
blocks to school.
The commission took the matter
under advisement after an hour and
a half hearing and promised a
prompt decision"

Commissioners Hear
Arguments on Birney
School Alarm System

The Commissioners today took
under advisement the opposing
arguments of the Fire Department
and Superintendent of Communi-
cations Herbert A. Friede in their
stalemate over what kind Of fire
alarm equipment should be installed
in the new Birney School.
In the presence of the Board of
Commissioners and the Board of
Education, Mr.. Friede and officials
of the Fire Department explained
this morning why they favor rad
ically different types of alarm boxes.
The dispute originally concerned
only the Birney School, Nichols ave-
nue. and Sumner road Sc, but now
has spread to the question of how
to equip all schools.
Fire Chief Clement Murphy
favors the street-type box on the
outside Of school buildings, while
Mr., Friede prefers remote-control
boxes inside schools.
Short Circuit Cited.
Chief Murphy and an aide, Bat
talon Chief William Roman, de-
clared remote-controls systems, which
form part of the city circuit, could
knock out an entire section of the
city alarm service If they short
circuit. They said there is no way
of telling when such an emergency
has occurred.
They declared children must be
evacuated from school buildings
first in case of fire-in which event
outside boxes would be most eff
GENTLY placed for summoning fire
equipment-before thought should
be given to turning in the alarm.
Mr.. Friede was removed from con-
troll of the fire alarm system about
a year ago, after the Justice De-
partment disclosed his CLOSE CO.
operation" with the Gamewell fire
alarm manufacturing company, but
he still retains control of the city
current network.
Company Fined.
He admitted the remote control
equipment he favors is manufac-
tured only by the Gamewell COM
pany, which was fined on antitrust
charges after being indicted by a
Federal grand jury. Mr.. Friede con-
tended, however, that no matter
what type of alarm is installed, the
apparatus would have to be bought
from Gamewell, which is the only
manufacturer of it.
This was denied by Chief Roman,
who declared a number of manu-
facturers are prepared to provide
the city with the equipment.
AS the hearing drew to a close
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
suggested DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
superintendent of schools, take up
the whole question of fire protec-
ton for schools at tomorrow's
meeting of the board. She sug-
gested school principals and others
familiar with the situation be
named to committee to study the
problem.
DR.. Corning said he was confused
because the experts seemed to be in
mild disagreement" If asked for
a recommendation, Dr. Corning
said: I'D have to say in blanket
fashion that I would prefer the
form of fire alarm equipment that
would give our schools the most
complete protection without regard
to COST"

FAIRBANKS, (P)-Alaska Gov. Ernest H. Gruenin2 scored the last legislature in a Labor Day address here for failure to pass tax laws.
 He particularly blamed mem bers from the Fourth Judicial Di- vision, which includes Fairbanks, for having to pass the hat to keep the doors of the University of Alaska from closing"
 He said Alaska is the only po- litical entity under the American flag where the preponderant ma jority of all businesses pay no taxes, except federal income tax.
 The Governor also reiterated his plea for Alaska statehood. He said the argument that Alaska must be more fully developed be- fore statehood is granted "is like saying you must learn to swim be- fore you can go in the water"
 The Governors talk was one of the highlights of the most elabor- ate Labor Day celebrations, in Fairbanks history. Events includ- ed the first wild west rodeo ever staged this close to the Arctic Cir cle.

 The threat of a prolonged tie-up of shipping lanes because of the maritime strike hit Alaska with varying impact today.
 Anchorage grocers hung out signs reading mo danger of short ages," and wholesalers said cur rent supplies will last Anchorage housewives at least two months. Most merchants have stuffed their shelves in anticipation of the tie up.
 One Anchorage merchant re- ported he has made arrangements with a 55-truck Montana freight firm to haul food over the Alaska highway in the event of an ex- tended strike.
 The City of Anchorage may suf- fer, however, since it has been counting on the arrival of a gen. orator from the States to install in new generating plant. The city has been pressing hard to complete the plant in time to stem an expected power shortage.
