|Eisenhower's Order
Ito Curb Destruction
Cited by President

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower laid
down the guiding principle which
led to the shelling OF the Benedictine
Monastery at Mount Casino In an
Of Ter issued December 20 when he
Instructed his troops to guard
against needless destruction of his
toric edifices, but III we have to
choose between destroying a famous
building and sacrificing our own
men, then our mems lives count
Infinitely more and the buildings
must CO."
President Roosevelt made the
order public at his news conference
yesterday when he explained that
the monastery was bombed and
shelled only because the Germans
were using it as stronghold.
In calling on his command to ex-
ercise discretion when faced with
the possible necessity for wrecking
a structure, Gen. Eisenhower said
that "the phrase military necessity
is sometimes used where it would
be more truthful to speak OF mill
tary convenience or even personal
convenience. l do not want it to
cloak slackness or indifference.
On the day Gen. Eisenhower's
order was issued. his chief of staff
1t. Gen. w. B. Smith, issued another
reminding commanders that build
ings containing art collections.
scientific objects, or those whose
use would offend religious suscepti-
bilities Of people should not be oc-
cupied when alternative accom-
modations are available.

Federal Planners
0. K. Railroad Plan
To Rebuild BRIDGE

The proposal of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad TO reconstruct its freight
bridge across the Anacostia River
as an emergency measure was ap-
proved by Federal planners yester-
day afternoon, provided it be given
q suitable elevation.
They recommended that the ap-
proaches to the bridge be so ele-
waited as to enable the Anacostia
Parkway to pass under the struc-
ture. At present the approaches
are so low as to block extension of
the parkway to the District line.
The proposal was considered at
the CLOSING session of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. That group is eager to
complete the parkway project in
Anacostia and the existing low rail-
road bridge has been one of the
obstacles.
Urge Road Revamping.
A complete revamping of the
highways within 27-acre tract in
the northeast on which the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority is
to build 409 housing units for COL
orded families was recommended,
also, by the Planning Commission.
The area is bounded by the Miller
Recreation Center on the west, by
Division avenue on the east and
on the north and south by Blair
street and Grant street.
A revision of the highway system
Ia necessary, it was pointed out, so
as to provide curving roads for the
new housing project. 1t is now
q vacant area.
A study of the congested mid-city
area showing existing schools and
specific areas In which additional
Fairgrounds would be desirable will
be submitted to the Board of Educa-
ton for its guidance. The study
was prepared by Thomas c. Jeffers,
landscape architect of the commits
sion, in connection with the $74O,0O0
recommended to Congress by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for Fairgrounds
within the whole area.
Would Save Home.
The commission announced it was
interested in trying to save the old
Founder House in Alexandria, Va.
an historic landmark, from possible
destruction. 1t faces on the Mount
Vernon Highway right of way.
The property is owned by the
Alexandria Hospital and under pro-
posed plans for the extension of the
hospital facilities the landmark is
slated for destruction. So the COM
mission adopted a resolution urging
the hospital board to preserve the
house, if possible. by moving it to
another location.
