Must Publicize Work
Apart from the problem Of the
returning mental patient-some
are not even accepted by their
families-the director is chiefly
concerned with getting the work
lot his organization over to the
public.
People just don't seem to
know we're here" he says.
His big selling points are
these:
Man has got to have food,
shelter, clothing. He can earn it.

The vocational rehabilitation
department tries to see him into
Ia position where he can earn it
iii he's failed on his own, or ILL
ness or an accident produced the
unemployment.
The needs of vocational re-
Mobilization closely resemble the
needs of other District agencies:
More money, more staff.
But the agency has one Of the
toughest jobs in the city-f1ght-
ing a stigma which so far has
resisted every pressure.

Firing Of Policeman
Is Urged by Murray

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
has formally urged the Com

E. Jones from the force for being
drunk while off duty.
Chief Murray said that he had
examined the case of the veteran
ninth precinct policeman with
care and sympathy.
But my greatest obligation
and responsibility in this case is
to the citizens of the District of
Columbia" the chief declared.
'They have a right to expect
sober, honest, reliable and eff
cient service from all police
officers"
He added that even though the
drunk charges against Pvt. Jones
involved only off-duty hours Il
don't want to be responsible fo-'
putting this man on the street
with a gun and badge-police-
men after all are subject to
24-hour duty"
Since last December, the po-
liceman has been charged four
times with drunkenness. While

Vast New Expansion
OF u. S.-Canadian
Defenses Considered

OTTAWA, Mar. 80 (P.-High
government sources say Canada
and the United States are con-
sidering a vast expansion of
North Americas defense network.
What worries the Canadians is
who will provide the manpower.
One highly placed informant
said the government will have to
decide before long whether Can
ada wants to pay the full price
for complete sovereignty or adj
init many more Americans into
the country to man the defenses.
This dilemma even suggests
that Canada, which additionally
has no draft. may be forced to
impose peacetime CONSUMPTION
within five years.
Jets and H-Bombs Blamed
The new crisis is attributed to
two developments: The increas-
ing speed of jet bombers and the
wide devastation which can be
caused by hydrogen bombs. Of
ficials have said Russia's un-
yelling of improved jet bombers
last year was distinct shock.
The United States and Canada
have agreed that for defense pur-
poses, particularly possible air
attack from across the North
Pole. the two countries must be
considered one. That means they
will have to provide more air.
fields, more fighter planes. and
more radar stations to control
interceptor operations to meet
the threat from increasing So
Wet jet and H-bomb power.
The United States has not yet
outlined any plan to Canada for
q more defense across the roof of
the continent. But there is lit
tie doubt here that Washington
will advance one within a year.
To obtain faster interrogation
defense against potential strikes
by faster jets laden with H
bombs swooping in from the po-
lar regions. the continental air
-defenseS would have to be pushed
farther north. High officials here
say that whereas in the past
.American-based squadrons might
have been able to cope with an
attack on big United States in
dustrial centers. the squadrons
eventually will have to be based
in Canada if an enemy is to
be met before he is practically on
the target.
p. Harsh News for Canada
All of this is a rude awaken
ing to Canada, where officials
were saying less than a year
ago they saw no possible need
for compulsory military service
in peacetime.
Canadas entire armed forces
now number about 10000. In
recent years the army has had
difficulty keeping its strength at
about $4,000. There is some
feeling that United States per-
sonnet should be permitted to
4 man new defense lines when they
are set up farther north. BY the
end of the year there will be only
about 200 Canadian fighter
planes ready to meet an air at
tack on the continent.
About 5000 United States
servicemen are stationed in Can
ada. In addition, there are
about $4,000 Americans at the
three leased United States bases
in Newfoundland.
