Civil Defense Planners
See Police Reserves
AS Need in Emergency

Officials of the Office OF Civil De-
fense Planning said today auxiliary
police forces, similar to that pro-
posed by Police Supt. Robert j
Barrett here, probably would bt
'one OF the general needs for any
war emergency"
They added, however, that no rec.
concentrations for formation of such
police reserves has been made anc
that the overall report to Defense
Secretary Forrestal is not due until
mid d-November.
Maj. Barrett has asked the Dis
trlct Commissioners to authorize
organization, equipment and train
ing of Police Reserve Corps, tt
stand ready in event of sabotage,
riot and other emergencies.
Such plan was discussed at a
panel OF police chiefs, including Maj
Barrett, called several months age
to make general recommendation tc
the Civil Defense Planning Unit
The police chiefs met for several
days in the Pentagon, with Director
Russell j. Hopley and other officials
Of the Civil Defense Unit.
The civilian reserve force here
would include organized special po-
lice of public utilities, water depart
ment employees and other units con-
nected with installations that might
be struck by saboteurs. The plan i.
to set up the force in time to assist
in police work at the Inauguration
on January 20. After that, the force
would remain active and could be
pressed INTO service in event oil

turbances.
The Office Of Civil Defense Plan

for nearly year. The officials have
kept the units report closely guard

Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Maj. Thomos N. Mol

Time out, please, for q brief re.
hash of a subject already covered

about the merchant marine. Thi.

about 1t.
Your sons are still liable for draft
service. They are definitely not
veterans (for the purpose of the
draft, no matter how much mer-
chant marine. service they may have
put in. There can be no change
until Congress comes back In jan
uary-which Is not to say there
ever will be a change, because there
probably will not.
A card signed "The Mother" and
mailed from Pittsburgh, Pa, asks
what happens to two nonveteran
boys, both college seniors, one Of
whom is in the ROTC CReserve
Oficer Training Corps and the
other of whom is not.
The one who is in ROTC probably
will be called to active duty shortly
after he is graduated and receives
his reserve commission. He'll be
liable for 81 months service as an
officer.
The other probably will be drafted
for 81 months shortly after gradua-
ton, provided he is then less than
rs years old and is not deferable for
any reason.
The next paragraph is aimed spe-
ciflcally at about 200 aliens who
have written the Guide" wanting
the word on their status. Most of
these live In the Detroit area.

ferred from the draft, with certain

Suit Filed TO Acquire
Site for New Senate
Office Building

The Government today was moving
rapidly to acquire the site for new
Senate Office Building. so that all
of the 50 buildings now on the tract
can be vacated by May /.
First legal step in this direction
was taken yesterday. when the JUS
tice Department filed a suit in Dis
trict Court to acquire all property
on the site by condemnation.
The area Is Immediately east of
the present Senate Office Building
and is bounded by First, B and C
streets NE. and by the alley run
ming north and south through the
block. 1t includes Schott's alley, a
notorious slum section nationally
known as one of the worst spots of
its kind in the Nations Capital.
Under terms of the condemnation
suit, property owners now are offered
the opportunity of negotiating for
sale of their property direct to the
Government. If they wish to contest
the acquisition or the price offered
they are ordered to appear in court
personally. or be represented By
counsel. or by the formal filing OF
papers by December 6.
Charles M. Irelan. attorney in the
Lands Division of the Justice De.
partment, who filed the suit, said his
Office will get in touch with property
owners in an effort to reach an
agreement on the prices to be paid
for the land.
Many persons have indicated they
are ready to negotiate, it was
learned, and it is expected settle
ments on many individual parcels
may be reached before December g.
In such cases, the Justice Depart
ment will file stipulations in court
to have condemnation proceedings
against such owners dismissed or
will ask the court to issue a judg-
ment for sale of the specific prop
erty to the Government.
In those cases in which no agree
ment on the price is reached, the
court will be asked to impanel a
condemnation jury of five persons
to fix the prices. Such trial prob
ably will be set late in January or
early in February.
Mr.. Irelan said speed is desired
in acquiring the property, because
