Thursday, January 10, 1857

and the assignment of police pow.
ers to Civil Defense personnel.
The committee declares that
the assumption of police powers
ought to be automatic" when the
siren is sounded for national
emergencies. In local emergencies
the Governor, the County Coun-
Gil, the County Manager, or "the
designated Civil Defense deputy
should have authority to grant po-
lice powers, the report states.
The report quotes from a memo
by County Attorney Charles M.
Irelan declaring that only the
President or Governor can grant
police powers to CD officials.
Adm. Hartwig told the Council
that the county can afford big
ger Civil Defense budget than in
the past. About $4,000 has been
appropriated by the county for
CD in each of the last two
budgets.
Adm. HartWig said he Strongly
recommends" that the county &C.
quire helicopter if surplus one
can be bought for $1,000 to $1,000.
He said he does not suggest buy
ing new one for $4,000.
The group also recommends a
light rescue jeep for each of the
county's 13 CD districts.
The deputy CD chief told the
Council that his organization al
ready owns 80 pistols. He said
they are kept by the police de-
partment and will be issued by
Police Superintendent James S.
McAuliffe in an emergency.
Adm. Hartwig said the cost of
following another committee rec
ommendation-the establishment
of an alternate CD headquarters
lin the event Rockville should be
destroyed"-is ''prohibitive."
The group also proposed that
each CD officers be given permits.
sion to equip his car with ra-
dio, siren and blinker light. Adm.
said the State refused to provide
funds for such equipment last
year.
Other committee proposals:
. White coverall uniforms for
CD workers with Sam Browne
belts, appropriate emblerhs, and
rank designations.
. Monthly meetings of county

Plan 10 Upset
India 5 Routine

NEW DELHI, Mar. % (P.-
India changes over to decimal
currency on April /. abandoning
a system established by the Brit
iSh more than century ago.
1t is a switch affecting every
aspect of Indian life. Postage
rates must be revised. Railway
fares must be adjusted. Calcu-
lating machines must be re-
flied. The man in the bazaar
must start thinking in new terms
when he thinks of the rupee
The rupee additionally has
been the, Indian coin. The
British put it on a regular basis
in 1885. dividing it into 16 annas
Of II pies each.
Easy ReckOner Available
On April 1.-The day the In
dian fiscal year begins-the
rupee will be divided into 100
unieeah. The rupee will keep its
same value, but the annas and
pies will be dropped. Instead.
each unit will be a maya paisa.
plural is naye paise.)
For three years, annaS and
pies will remain legal tender but
their value will be calculated on
the decimal basis. Thus, four
annaS will equal Is naye paise.
The government has issued a
ready reckoner for figuring out
the value when the maya paise
equivalent of the anna involves
a fraction.
midas Parliament adopted the
decimal coinage as the first step
in this country'S move toward
replacing the many Indian
weights and measures with the
metric system.
Educational Program Outlined
However, Parliament did not
act without misgivings. Many an
MP noted that India has a large
illiteracy rate and that many
people might not understand the
change from annas to nayeI
paise. These MPS said there was
a chance dishonest people would
cheat the public.
The Indian government, in an
effort to avoid any trouble,
started a campaign of education
in the villages and the cities
months ago.
While announcing that gov
eminent banks already have new
coins ready, New Delhi has care
fully warned that there should
be no rush on the banks. 1t has
assured the people that their
annas and pies can be used as
currency or be exchanged any
time over the next three years.
But there will be an element
of profit and loss for those who
persist in using the annas and
pies That is because there are
no fractions in the maya paisa
coins.
New Tables in Making
For example, one anna is worth
6.25 naye paise. But under the
governments official ready reck-
oner one anna will get only six
naye paise. On the other hand,
seven annas are worth 43.75 naye
paise; the official exchange is
given as seven annas equal A
naye paise.
To meet the needs of the ex-
change, the government is work.
ing out all kinrs of new tables
for customs rates, taxes and
budgets. 1t also is preparing to
issue on April new sets of post /
age stamps in the decimal de- |
nominations.
Paisa is a centuries-old Indian
name for coins. Maya means new.
AS soon as the decimal system
catches on, maya will be drop
ped and India will have rupees
and paiSe.

ted is liable for service under the
draft law.
The changes also provide for Sc
lection of these professional men
apart from other registrants; for
ordering such specialists to active
duty from the Reserve; and pro-
hibits the induction of physicians
and dentists who apply or have
applied for Reserve commissions
and have been rejected solely on
the basis of physical disqualified
ton.
Virtually all physicians and dem
lists who will complete their train
ing over the next two years were,
in the past, deferred for study and
are liable to age 35, the military
services estimate. With the service
liability extended by such defer
ments to age 35, practically all of
these specialists are expected to
apply for commissions in the arm
ed forces reserve components and
to perform periods of obligated ac-
tive duty, following commissioning,
as needed by the services.
But the authority to draft youn-
ger physicians and dentists is re-
tanned in the law in the event it is
needed. the State Director said.

New Draft Ruling
Changes Status
OF Doctor Glass

Physicians and dentists, since
July /, are liable for military SER
vice under the Selective Service
law in the same way as other reg
istrants. This ends the special liza
bility of these professional groups
which has been in effect since 1850
Colonel Harold l.. Hays, State Di-
rector of Selective Service for Ohio
said this week.
The former Doctor Draft" act
made Physicians and dentists liza

other registrantS-at one time up
to age so. Under the new law, the
upper limit of the age of liability
for physicians and dentists is 35
for those referred on or after June
10, 1951-the same provisions that
apply to all men.
The new amendments to the ba-
