Map Evacuation
of Children
from Coasts

WASHINGTON, March IA
(R-The u. S. Children's Bur-
eau disclosed today that general
plans have been worked out for
evacuating children from strate-
gic coastal areas if necessary.
These plans will be discussed,
at the first meeting of the newly
established commission on chill
dren in war time, which con-
venes here Monday.
DR.. Martha Eliot, associat chief
of the bureau, went to England
about a year ago to study how
that country cared for children
under wartime conditions. She
said that general plans develop
ed for this country would be SUBJ
ject to modification to fit local
conditions.
The community procedure
would include registration of
children, designation of assem-
bly, points, organization of trans
portation and preparation of re-
ception centers.
There should be two kinds of
plans, DR.. Eliot said, one to be
put into operation suddenly
such as for an area that must be
evacuated quickly because OF
fire caused by incendiary bombs.
The other would be for more
widespread and slower evacua-
ton of sections considered in
danger of attack.
