Between 10000 and 10000 of

Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said last night the pres
ent thinking is to vary the re-
cruiting with the type of volun-
teer wanted. These different
methods are under discussion:
/. Professional men and women
doctors, nurses. social workers
and engineers among others
would be recruited by colleagues
who know the problems of their
fellows and how much time they
can reasonably be expected to
volunteer. .-.
Methods of Recruiting.
2. The. warden service, among
others, will have to recruit itself.
Just as q general wants to pick
his own 1ieutenants, the warden
chief will want to choose his own
subordinate leaders. They in turn
will select their own next-in-com-
mand, and so on down to block
leaders.
/ 8. Recruiting Of other volun-
teers may be done with the assist
ance of the block wardens. They
could carry simple questionnaires
to their neighbors on which could
be noted the type of work the
residents are willing to do and
what hours they are available.

ice may be set up to serve the

Inspector John E. Fondahl, act
ing civil defense director, yester-
day outlined his proposals for the
warden service. which is to be
headed by Max Schwartz, World
War II warden chief. He said his
plans have not yet been approved
Six Major Areas.
Under these plans, the city
would be divided into six major
areas. using geographic bounda-
ries where possible. The section
east of the Anacostia woald be
one area and west of Rock Greek
another. Other areas would fol-
low the boundaries of two or three
police precincts. These areas
would then be divided into SUBJ
areas, zones and finally sectors OF
blocks.
In the chain Of command. no
leader would have more than 10
volunteers under his immediate
command except at the block
level. There, 80 wardens would be
on call, 10 for each of three shifts.
They would be headed by a chief
and deputy chief block warden for
day and night duty.
Women would play a large role
in the warden setup. Boy Scouts
might be used as messengers.
Would Conduct Surveys.
The wardens would be expected
to conduct surveys and collect in
formation in the neighborhoods,
including what housing facilities
would be available for those made
homeless by disaster. They would
be responsible for keeping their
neighbors informed on civil de-
fense matters and the elements of
self protection.
In event of attack. they would
steer people to shelter after an
alert. prevent panic, fight small
fires, do some rescue work and
carry litters. If the area they pa
tolled was undamaged, they might
be called to other sectors to pitch
in and help.
There were these other develop
mentS in civil defense:
Inspector Fondahl said he had
been in touch with Edward L.
Foster. Montgomery County's civil
defense director. and that ar
rangements were under way for
the two to confer Informally on
mutual problems. Gen. Young
said a metropolitan area civil de-
fense conference will be held soon.
The first of the 10 employees
planned for civil defense head
quarters has been selected and is
now awaiting the required FBI
clearance. He is Herbert Neil Nc
Killen. who formerly worked in
the Police Department chief
clerks Office. His job would be
as administrative assistant.

and, second. that Canadian sellers
will not deliberately lower prices
in order to maintain their sales
volume in this country.
Neither event is likely in the
near future. officials believe. They
note that Canada furnishes about
80 per cent Of all the newsprint
on which United States news
papers are printed. United States
paper mills cannot supply the de-
mand: therefore Canada is under
no pressure to lower prices.
The same is true of nickel. And

terials, money is a secondary con-
sideration in the defense effort.

Conodion Goods Viii Rise
In Price for Americans
BY the A.seeiaied Press

Canada. in effect, has turned
loose its dollar to rise in value,
and is not attempting to say
where it should stop.
Whatever the extent of the rise,
to that extent the cost of Cana
dian goods will increase for Amer
lean buyers.
Some financial experts think
the Canadian dollar will settle at
around "a or 95 cents. Higher
guesses have been heard.
The decision means higher costs
for United States tourists in Cam
ada, higher prices on defense ma
terials purchased there, and prob
ably higher costs on such raw
materials and consumer items as
Canada sends south.
Tt also means that Marshall
Plan dollars spent In Canada will
buy fewer recovery goods for Eu-
rope. Canada is the second big
gest supplier..

For the American -in-the-street,
the direct effect probably will not
be appreciable. officials said, for
Canada is not q large exporter
Of consumer goods to this country.
But imitation already is at work
in American metals and materials
markets, and new boost in the
cost Of Canadian metals, minerals
and forest products may wind up
in higher living costs here.
In the end, it may also mean a
bigger tax bill. Canada is q big
exporter of uranium, nickel, cop
per. zinc. lead and other materials
which are vital to the expanding
defense effort.
The prospect of higher costs for
Canadian goods is based
on two assumptions: First, that

The idea of cooperative effort
is taking a new lease. Gov. Dewey
of New York summarized this by
proposing that the IL Northeast
ern States pool their aid resources.
The pooling already has been
under way for months in smaller

publlcans in the equally familiar
coalition that President Truman
labeled "obstructionists" in an
oddly assorted group"
The movement is by no means
entirely native. Powerful financial
interests in the East, absentee
landlords of Southern holdings,
contribute to it as part of their
political business. For a. vote in
Congress for their interests from
the South is just as good as from
elsewhere. in fact better, because
it splits and weakens the Demo-
cratic Party in it's administration
of national affairs and also tends
to discredit the Democratic Party.

The slowly growing progressive
movement in the South is not only
important in that area, where it is
needed to improve the condition
of its people. but it also has ma
tional interest. For obstruction

people all over the Nation. Presi-
dent Truman recognized that in
his Chicago speech by referring
to the "backward-looking Sena-
tors and Representatives" who
have "hobbled" the administra-
ton.
The campaign to disrupt the
progressive frontier in the South
is greatly intensified this year, as
was demonstrated in the recent
Florida primary. Not only was
there use of the recurrent tech
nique of stirring up racial preju-
dice. but a new wrinkle for the
South was added by exploiting
the communism" issue, not only
to try to discredss Senator Claude
Pepper but also the administration
and its whole social welfare pro-

Burden of Smith Campaign.
The burden of Mr.. Smiths cam
paign is to tie up Senator Graham,
by constant reiteration, with
FEPC, the Brannan farm plan and
Socialized medicine, and to charge
he is sympathetic with commu-
nistic causes. none of it based on
fact. Senator Graham is not for
FEPC, though he has devoted his
life to improving relations among
the races in the South as a grad
ualist through education and
raising the economic and politi-
cal status of the Negro. He is not
for the Brannan plan, nor for
the Murray -Dingell bill to carry
out the administration health pro-
gram, though he long has been
active in the South for measures
for the welfare of all people.
He is the victim of the trick of
repeating untruths over and over,
widely used this campaign year.
DR.. Graham has been identified
with numerous organizations of
welfare sort. in some cases very
casually. Some of these have
come under criticism in recent
months, but he has Away fought
Communists and communism
wherever they appeared, and was
bitterly denounced by Moscow and
various organs there for his Indo-
neSlan SeCClemenG.
The people of North Carolina
who have a reputation generally
for fairness AND sturdiness, are
far less susceptible to such a
frenzied campaign as that being
conducted against the Senator
than those of some other South
ern States, which is we'll; for it
would be serious blow to his
State, the South and the Nation II
