Interim Report Of Defense Director
Asks Improved Fire Communications
Survey Being Made
Of Schools And All
Public Buildings

An interim report present
ed to the County Council on
Tuesday by Brig. Gen. G. r.
Wooley, Civil Defense Co
ordinator for the County,
urged survey of public
buildings to be used as bomb
shelters; expressed great con-
Germ over communications for
volunteer fire departments
and suggested that a fire re-
porting and dispatch center
be established at Gathers
burg. To it would be tied the
five upper county depart
ments, Rockville, Gathers
burg Washington Grove,
Hyattstown, Damascus and
Upper Montgomery at Bealls-
Vile.
Under the plan suggested by
Gen. Wooley, who was introduced
by E. L. Foster, Director of Civil
Defense for the county, the subur-
ban departments would be connect
ed with the Silver Spring switch
board. The ten fire departments in
the lower county operate on fire
frequency separate from the po-
lice frequency which would cause
confusion in event of disaster. he
said.
Councilman Lathrop Smith made
plea that in the all over plan
ming for fire protection in case Of
attack, the Civil Defense officials
work with the County Association
Of Volunteer Firemen. "The Vol
unteer firemen represent some
thing which should be preserved
they have over a long period of
years worked for what they have
and have done a fine job" he said,
He recommended that community
individuals work with the firemen
rather than outside people.
A survey is also being made Of
the county's rs schools, 60 private
and 5 parochial schools as pertain
ing to school facilities for protec-
ton of teachers and students, Gen.
Wooley said.
Eight zones have been establish
ed in the county for which Civil
Defense officers will eventually be
appointed, Gen. Wooley explained.
Zone l. is Election District Z, Beth
esda; Zone ii is District IL, Sill
yer Spring; Zone Ill is District 5,
Colesville; Zone Nv comprises Dis
tricts 4 and 10, Rockville and Po-
tomac; Zone v comprises Districts
1 and 8, Laytonsville and Olney;
Zone vi comprises Districts 8 and
8, Gaithersburg and Darnestown;
Zone VII comprises Districts IL
and 2, Damascus and Clarksburg;
Zone VIII comprises Districts 3
and IL, Poolesville and Barnes
vile.
Editors Note: Not mentioned
in the interim report was the fact
that the Incorporated towns Of
Rockville and Gaithersburg have
already appointed Civil Defense
Directors, Division leaders and
wardens. In many ways these
towns are far ahead of the county
in organization. Both are coordin-
ating their programs with state
and county, General Wooley and
Mr.. Foster later told the Sentinel
reporter. During the last few
weeks the Sentinel has carried
many columns of news concerning
civil defense organization in these
towns.)

sue produced the same volume of

THE EXPOSE of infuence-ped-
ding in activities of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation led
to renewed demands for the COM
plete liquidation of that agency.
Instead, Congress may approve a
reorganization of top RFC person
mel, just as President Truman be-
latedly recommended. The House
already has taken that step.
A one-man Administrator would
be substituted for the present five
man board which governs its op-
erations.
In another phase of reorganiza-
ton, MI. Truman suffered an I'M
expected setback. With conserva-
tive Democrats teaming up with
Republicans, the Houses killed a
previously passed Senate bill to
grant him broad emergency
powers to reshuf1e government
agencies. House members were
skeptical over what Mr.. Truman
might do if the bill became law.
A COALITION of Southern con-
sentative Democrats and Republi-
cans in the House dealt the Ad-
ministration a second body blow
during the week. 1t killed the pro-
posed So billion defense" sub
sidized public housing bill.
The style of the defeat was i'm
portant because it was unusual.
A bill approved by a committee
normally takes its place on the
House calendar and is considered
sooner or later. But in this case,
the members voted, PIG to ITO,
against even discussing the bill.
1t now goes back to the House
Banking Committee until Presi-
dent Truman's lieutenants figure
out some new strategy.

YOU and a.
YOUR @EEIEEE
CONGRESS
COMPILED BY THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE OF THE
UNITED STATES

OlA III
by Courtesy of The ST. Croix
Chamber of Commerce
A SPIRIT of independence and
legislative leadership is develop
ing in the halls of Congress.
Some of it car be attributed to
the Investigations that have
reached the headlines. Most of it
stems, however, from a deep feel
ing of responsibility for the future
of the nation and our economy.
On balance, the result is a mid
die of the road legislative pattern
which usually rejects extreme
viewpoints on any given issue.
CONSIDER the soul-searching de-
bate in Senate Committees on the
"troops-to-Europe" question which
now is before the full Senate for
debate.
The Committees discarded both
the idea that no foot soldiers at all
should be sent across the Atlantic,
and that President Truman should
be given full discretion to act in
this field as he sees fit.
The final result probably will be
that the Senate will give its ap-
proval to the sending of four more
divisions to Europe-we have two
there now-but will state that any
further commitments must be sub
ject to Congressional review.
Whatever the final language
may be, it will not have any eff
fective binding force on the Ad-
ministration. At most, it would be
only an expression Of Capitol Hill
intent. Only a very few in the
Senate really challenge the consti-
tutionality authority of the Presi-
dent as commander-in-chie to act
Independently.
UMT-DRAFT presents another
example of compromise, carefully
hammered out after exhaustive
study of all sorts of ideas.
Although only the Senate has
acted, it seems certain that Con
gress will approve a Universal
Military Training program which
never before has attracted the
votes of a majority Of the mem
bers. But the Senate has added
many important restrictions to the
original Pentagon proposal that
the moment a youth becomes Is
he be indicted for training and
service. The House, if it follows
the lead of its Armed Services
Committee, also will approve
UNIT.
