La Guardia Hedges On Earlier Stafement About Quitting 0. C.D. Still Considers He Has Three Choices Open, He Tells Reporter} Mayor La Guardia, director of the Office of Civilian Defense, yesterday made an unscheduled appearance at a press conference called by O. C. D. Executive Officer James M. Lardis but failed to confirm what he indi- cated earlier in the day, when he described a talk before a fational defense forum of the General Fed- eration of Women's Clubs as “per- haps my last appearance as director of the Office of Civilian Defense.” 0. C. D. officials agreed today that the Mayor went further in that talk than he had at any previous time, or at the late aftérnoon press conference. Hedging when reporters at the press conference asked whether the press conference was his' last of- ficial act, he said he had not yet submitted his resignation to the President and still considered he had three choices—to pe Mayor of New York, O. C. D. director, or “do what T did in the last war,” when he served in the A. E. F. Promises Fire Equipment. Taking over Dean Landis’ confer- énce, the Mayor promised that American cities in strategic and coastal areas will get from two to three auxiliary pumpers for each of their existing fire engine com- panies. Lack of equipment has been one of the problems faced by the District's fire department. The pumpers, the Mayor said, have been shorn of nearly all rub- ber and steel to meet priority re- quirements and in most cases can be joined to existing motor equip- ment. An agreement also has neen reached, he announced, between the 0. C. D. and the War Production Board to provide protective clothing for civilian fire fighters from re- claimed rubber. The O. C. D. director said orders for the equipment will be placed as soon as the $100,000,000 authoriza- tion for O. C. D. has been appro- priated. The Army, he said, will decide where the equipment is to go if there is any question about the need. He added that he hoped to get some warden helmets and that the equipment could be manu~ factured in plants without war con= | tracts. Dean Landis Talks.
