Civil Defense Weighs
Limit on Downtown
Autos, FondahI Says

Restricting the number of auto
mobiles in the downtown area ano
staggering working hours are
being considered here for the Dis
trict. Inspector John E. Fondahl
acting director of civil defense
told the American University Citi-
zens' Association last night.
Much consideration will be
given to such proposals before
they are put into effect" Inspec-
tor Fondahl said. He did not give
any details on how the limitation
on automobiles would be enforced.
Civil defense planning has pro-
gressed further than newspaper
reports would indicate" he said.
He added, however, that there
are no experts in planning for
atomic attack" and that it is nee
essary for the Districts planners
to rely heavily on Imagination
and common sense in setting up
a good defense program.
He suggested that civilians keep
a pick and shovel in their cellars
and make sure they will have
water and light. A radio and a
few staple groceries might also
come in handy in a raid, he said.
: The meeting was held in Hurst
Hall at American University and
was conducted by Daniel B. Lloyd,
president.

Birmingham Jail Opens Doors,
But Taylor Spurns Hospitality

Iof assault and battery" on a po-
lice officer.
Mr.. Connor said he would seek
extradition of the Senator te
serve his sentence. Senator Tay-
lor, out in Idaho. said he didn't
plan to come near Alabama.
The Constitution grants mem
bers of Congress certain immuni.
ties from arrest while Congress
is in session. Senator Taylor
term expires in January.
A States attorney said Senator
Taylor's extradition would depend
on the Goveronrs of Alabama and
Idaho.
The question also was raised
whether misdemeanor, with
which Senator Taylor was charged
is an extraditable offense. One
source said it was, but Thomas E
Huey, jr., counsel for Birmingham
in the Supreme Court arguments
said he wanted to investigate that
angle further.
In Boise, Gov. c. A. Robins was
asked if he would approve Senator
Taylor's extradition. and said:
|. Il have nothing to say until ]
see the extradition papers. I will
have to receive them before I can
comment"
Idaho Attorney General Robert
E. Smylie said he believes Idaho
law would permit Senator Taylor
extradition.

added that he brought his quar-
termaster, Maj. Gen. Joseph M.
Sullivan. along to investigate the
charges.
The visit assured him, Gen.
Clark asserted, that the food is
ample and the clothing-includ-
ing winter uniforms which will be

School officials disclosed that

school and the first ever to be ad-
mitted.
She was admitted pending Su-
preme Court action on the Uni

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. TO-
The welcome mat was out in front
of the Birmingham City Jail for
1daho's Senator Glenn Taylor to-
day. The Senator spurned the
invitation. T.
The obstacles to his entering the
Jail to serve 18O-day sentence
were matched only by the i'm
patience of Police Commissioner
E. c. Connor to have Senator
Taylor behind bars.
You can quote me as saving
I'm going to leave no stones un-

Senator Taylor was convicted of
disorderly conduct after a scuffle
with police outside Negro youth
meeting in 1948. The United
States Supreme Court refused to
review the conviction.
Senator Taylor came here as a
progressive Party candidate for
Vice President. Scheduled to ad-
dress the meeting, he collided with
police when he tried to go through
a door marked, Negro entrance. d
The Senator said his trial would

Members of the Medical Society
of Virginia have been urged byq
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-Fi
ginia to lead crusade to keeps
America strong by bolstering the

The Governments defense

fenses. Senator Byrd asserted: -

Money can't buy off communism: z
money can't buy friends, and
money can't buy people to fight
our wars

Accident Data Cited
eepGranite Paving
On Memorial Bridge !.

Traffic accident records were
cited today to support a conten-
ton that the granite block sur
face of Arlington Memorial Bridge
is probably the safest IN WASH.
ington." -,
Harry T. Thompson, acting SUI
perintendent of National Capital /.
Parks, protested that Memorial
Bridge has been given bad name
by motorists "undeservedly" be-
cause the granite blocks have
worn smooth.
Accidents have been reduced
at least 80 per cent since a 30
mile speed limit has been en-
forced" he said. Reckless driving
and speeding on the straightaway
afforded by the bridge caused
more accidents than ordinary
skidding, Mr.. Thompson con-
tended. The speed limit was.
dropped from 35 to 80 miles per
hour nearly two years ago.
There have been only three
fatalities from accidents on the
Memorial Bridge in the last 10
years, records show. There was
one each in 1943, 1916 and 1947.
The Fine Arts Commission has
been called on to pass on the
paving material to use in resur-
facing the bridge. This is not be-
cause its members are experts on
