70 Flee Apartment Fire
Disclosed by Crying Baby

A baby fretting in smoke-fi filled
room gave the warning which reused
a score of tenants in four apart
ments at 1901 South Capitol street
and sent them scurrying to safety as
a fire damaged two kitchens in the
building yesterday.
Mrs. John F. Thompson thought
it was breakfast time for her 10
month-old son, Tony, when she
awakened and heard him coughing
and crying at 7:20 am. Opening
the door to his room, she was driven
back by smoke.
The baby's father, 1t. Thompson,
assigned TO the merchant marine
inspection division of Coast Guard
Headquarters, dashed into the room,
snatched the baby from his crib and
led his wife downstairs. Neighbors,
aroused by the Thompsons, used pots
and pans to fight flames centered
in a kitchen cabinet and partition
separating 1t from another apart
ment's kitchen, until fire apparatus
summoned by a box alarm extin-
guished it.
1t. Thompson said a janitor, COL
Letting trash at about am, had
noticed no indication of smoke OF

Location Of Cafeteria
Under Plaza Studied
For Municipal Center

Municipal Architect Archie G.
Hutson today began an engineering
study aimed at exploring the feast
bility of providing cafeteria facil-
tiles for the Municipal Center under
the plaza west of the building.
The study was requested by En-.
gineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young, who asked Mr.. Hutson t.
prepare a report on the comparative
merits of installing new eating
place there and remodeling the
room now being used to make 1t
conform to Health Department
regulations.
Mr.. Hutson said he planned to
have the study completed by Janu-
airy l.
He pointed out the space under
the plaza, which is excavated, orig
inally was intended for cafeteria
to serve the present building and
a companion structure to be built
west Of it. The architect said he
could offer no opinion at this time
as to whether installation of the
lunchroom now would be practicable
from cost and engineering stand
points.
The present small cafeteria is in
quarters originally designated for
a police pistol range. 1t has been
operating without a license because
District regulations could not be
met under the existing layout.

cuss any change.

service stations in the Washington

Most Tydol dealers reported they
had not been forced to limit sales,
but expected trouble next month in
supplying customers.
One Tydol dealer, however, esti-
mated he would run out of gasoline
by Saturday. He explained that the
reduction was based on September
sales. Accordingly, his December
supply has been trimmed 20 per
cent because of q low volume in
September.

Retail Gasoline Dealers Association
reported major oil companies had
not yet advanced the price of gaso-
line here. He added that he be-
lieved an increase was imminent.

Harold E. Stassen, Republican

Halsey's former flag secretary, made
a brief address yesterday formally
presenting the statue, done by
Wheeler Williams of New York.

famed Third Fleet inflicted on the
enemy greater losses than had ever
been dealt out in all history by the
fleet of any admiral of any nation"
And such were his qualities of

million men still say with pride,
with affection, with respect, I

10 Film Figures
1oBeArraiigned
Here January9
Justice Pine Refuses
To Defer Appearance
Until Day of Trial

Arrangement of the 10 Hollywood
him personalities accused OF con-
tempt of Congress was set today
for January 9 after Justice David
A. Pine refused to permit arraign-
ment on the day of trial.
Previously Friday had been tenta-
lively set as the date for the 10
writer's, directors and producers to
enter their pleas.
Defense Counsel Martin Popper
however, came into court today to
plead that the defendants be spared
an extra trip across the country. He
asked for arraignment on appear
ance for trial.
For 40 minutes Mr.. Pepper and
Justice Pine discussed the cost of
plane travel, how long it takes to
make a coast-to-coast air trip and
the hazards of weather. Mr..
Pepper also pleaded against the
separation of the men from their
families during the Christmas sea-
son.
Refers to Hearing on Coast.
The 10 Hollywood figures were
indicted by District grand jury
December S on charges of contempt
OF Congress for refusing to tell tho
House Committee on Un-American
Activities whether or not they were
members of the Communist PARTY.
Late last week in Los Angeles.
Justice j. F. T. O'Connor refused ia
pass on the constitutionality Of the
indictments and ordered the re-
moVal OF the 10 defendants to
Washington for arraignment. Jus
tice Pine referred to the West Coast
removal hearing when he told Mr.,
Pepper:
You exhausted all legal means
to avoid coming here before you
made this request Ito postpone
arraingment)."
MIR. Pepper protested that the
West Coast action was attempted
only so that the constitutional
issue" could be raised as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Pepper argued that because
.of the long distance and tremen-
dous cost" and because the defend
ants were respected members Of
the community of long standing"
they should be spared a special
trip.
Cost of Flight Estimated.
He said it would cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 for them to
appear in court for five minutes.
Justice Pine calculated that plane
fare for the entire group would
not amount to more than 5000.
When Mr.. Pepper said the de-
PENDANTS would lose a long time
from work, Justice Pine retorted
that by plane the trip could be
made in day.
Mr.. Pepper assured him that the
weather was so uncertain at this
time of year that the defendants
would not come by plane. Justice
Pine said he found that "a little un-
usual"
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay told the court that he
objected to setting arraignment on
the day of trial. although he recog-
nized the cost of the trip.
Justice Pine ruled that to grant
the defense request might result in
confusion, misunderstanding and
delays"
The 10 defendants are John How
ard Lawson, Edward Dmytryk, Ring
Lardner, jr.. Adrian Scott Albert
Maltz, Dalton Trumbo, Samuel Or
nitz, Herbert Biberman, Lester Cole
and Alvah Bessie.

Christmas Tree in Store
Burns; Damage Is Slight

What is probably the first Christ
mas tree fire of the season occurred
this morning In the window of the
Whelan Drug Store at the corner
OF Connecticut and Rhode Island
avenues NV.
The 5-foot tree, which-was used as
a window display, apparently was
ignited by a short circuit in the
electric tree lights. The fire was
noticed when employees heard the
light bulbs popping, it was said at
the store. The fire department was
called, but the blaze was entin-
guished before the engines arrived.
There was no damage except to
the display window.

Appeals Court Order,
Injunction Ruling in
Women S Party Suit

The United States Court of APP
peals today sent back to District
Court a phase of the fight over
which slate of officers controls the
National Woman's Party and its
headquarters at ia B street NE.
The court ordered the lower tri-
bunal to rule on whether an injunc-
ton should be granted Miss Laura
M. Berrien, leader of one faction,
along with other members from
party headquarters here.
District Court held it had no
jurisdiction to grant an injunction
because it "can interfere only to
protect property rights" The ap-
peals court today overturned that
ruling, declaring a property right
is not necessary and quoting line
Of prior decisions to sustain that
finding.
Asked to Resign.
In a decision written by Justice
Henry w. Edgerton, in which Jus.
tees Bennett Champ Clark ane
Wilbur K. Miller joined, the Appeal,
Court recalled that dispute arose
last January within the party, a!
an outgrowth of which some mem
bers were termed insurgents"
Certain defendants-party mem
bers and employes-contending the,
were acting as the national council
of the party, adopted resolution
asking those who identified them.
selves with the insurgents" to re.
sign. If they did not reply within
10 days to a letter so notifying
them. this was to be construed as a
resignation, the court said.
Excluded From Headquarters.
All members of the insurgent
group were excluded temporarily
from headquarters pending deci-
sion, the court pointed out.
Miss Berrien commended she did
not receive notice of the meeting
passing the resolution. In District
Court she sued for an injunction
against Miss Anita Pollitzer of
New York and others, claiming
illegal exclusion from party head
quarters. Miss Berrien was repre-
sented by Attorneys Spencer Cor
don, Charles A. Horsky and Miss
Eleanor Seasons.
Justice James Proctor in District
Court, in another suit, ruled on
November 81 that Miss Pollitzer
and her slate were the legally
elected officers Of the party.
