New Drastic astic. Regulation Bans Most Vehicles From Streets.

TOKYO, Sept. 11 (U. P)—Al gasoline-propelled vehicles except those needed for specific emergency use were banned from the-streets of Japan today because of a fuel - shortage which emphasized the effect of United States and British economic pressure. The transport situation here was serious. Only one-third the normal number of taxicabs were operating —propelled by gasoline substitutes— and busses, street cars, subways and elevated railroads already were congested because of strict fuel rationing. (Busses use substitute fuels.) Police permitted those taxicabs which operated to charge double the usual fares. Gasoline-propelled vehicles were permitted for newspaper deliveries, for use by physicians and for other specified emergency uses. °

CIVIL SERVICE PAY INCREASES BACKED

ST. PAUL, Minn,, Sept. 11 (U. P.). —Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga.), chairman of the House Civil Service Committee, told delegates to the national convention of the American Federation of Government Employment yesterday that he believed Government workers should be granted wage increases to meet rising living costs. “1 would suggest the possibility of a flat $20 monthly bonus to Government employees such as was paid during the last World War,” Ramspeck said in an address. “It would be a tragic mistake, however, if Government employees should seek collective bargaining as a group of employees in industry because their salaries and working conditions are fixed by law.”

All but the Sick and Halt Help Man Soviet's Defenses

By A. T. STEELE

MOSCOW, Sept. em from Leningrad tell how soldiers of the Red Army and the People’s Volunteer Militia are fighting side by side, with army factory and office workers standing ready at the rear to assist in street fighting if the

time comes. : The enlistment of the fullest co-oper-ation of the whole people in emergency always has been one of the high points of the Bolshevist credo and there could not be a ‘better example than Leningrad, RusHe _sia’s second Mr. Steele largest city. i This is total war in the fullest sense and here in Moscow, where the same methods prevail, we will be able to see how it is done. I notice that even Englishmen who come here are impressed with the extent to which the governd ment has enlisted every organization, every office, every factory, every household, in the work of air raid precautions, anti - espionage, wartime labor and the grim business of fighting. Of course, the system makes it possible. Moscow, as other Russian centers, is divided into regional Soviets, each with an elected chairman and a .complex organization reaching every family. Through these Soviets the public’s: co-operation in the war effort is mobilized probably on a more complete scale than in any other warring country. There is scarcely a man in the city except the sick or crippled who is not Tscelving military instruction.

The air raid precaution system is extraordinarily thorough and pre-

cludes any possibility of such disastrous incidents as have occasionally occurred in London—of fire wardens off on Sunday picnics while German incendiaries spread destruction. Passing through the streets at night, you pass shadowy figures of men and women in front of all buildings of any size—watchers. They are watching for fires and suspicious characters. If it is after midnight—the curfew hour—you may be stopped several times in one block, questioned, and asked to show your pass. The danger from spies, saboteurs and parachutists has been deeply instilled in the public mind. Julia Polokova, an attractive 35-year-old woman, is chairman of one of Moscow's most important regional Soviets, with a population of more than 200,000 under her super-

vision, Everybody Training I called on her today at her office to ask about the mass mobilization in her district. One of the Soviet Union’s most popular women lead-

ers, Polokova was an aviation en-|}

gineer until she was elected “mayor” of her district two years ago. Seust about everybody is doing something toward the war effort,” she said. “Thousands from our district have been called up for the Red Army, other thousands of all ages have volunteered and gone off with the People’s Army. " “And those staying behind—all but the sick and very old—are taking military drill for four hours a week. They are learing to toss grenades, handle rifles, use bayonets, and other tricks which may become usefuls in case of attack.” According to Polokowa, the regional Soviet takes care of the families of men who have gone to war, when possible installing women in their husbands’ jobs. There is plenty of work, too, for housewives without regular jobs. Great numbers are engaged in night watching and firefighting.
