Frenzied preparations are ruff
ling the usually calm dignity OF
the Corcoran Gallery of Arts as
pictures from half the world pour
in for the largest art exhibition
on American life ever to be dis
played.
1t is American Procession" a
f1ve-month show of 80 historic
paintings to commemorate Wash
ington's sesquicentennial in art.
It will open July 8.
Batteries of typists are at work
on Iast-minute correspondence
catalogulng other administrative
details. The gallery has been
stripped of nearly all it's per-
manent displays except the Clark
collection and workmen are busy
plastering and painting IL gall
leries for the show, financed by
a 100000 Sesquicentennial Com
mission grant.
The exhibition will be a docu-
mentation of American life by
pictures important as art and i'm
portant, too. in the subject mat
ter which they illustrate. One
significant criterion set by gallery
and sesquicentennial officials is
that the art works must be gen.
orally contemporary with their
subject matter. This will tend to
keep the portrayalS accurate,
though it will rule out such old
favorites as Washington Cross
ing the Delaware" painted long
afterwards and according to fancy.

Woman's S Conviction
For Murder Upheld
By Court Of Appeals

The United States Court of
Appeals held today that a wom-
ans possession of a pistol two
weeks before a fatal shooting
could be admitted as evidence of
the possibility or probability"
that she committed the murder.
Judge Bennett Champ Clark
made that ruling in the course of
upholding the second-degree
murder conviction of Alice Nor
ton, "a, colored. of the 600 block
OF Second street NE. She is un-
der a 15-year-to-life sentence for
the fatal shooting of David Ste
phens. 80. colored. last year.
The defendants lawyer, Robert
I. Miller. took her case to the
Court of Appeals on the ground
that District Court had erred in
admitting evidence that she was
seen to have a pistol two weeks
before the shooting.
Mr.. Miller contended that, since
the murder weapon actually was
never found, the testimony that
she previously had pistol should
have been excluded. He argued
no evidence had been produced to
link the murder weapon with the
one seen in the pOsSeSsion of his
client.
Judge Clark, however, took this
view:
Certainly a gun is peculiarly
adaptable to the crime Of shoot
ing a person. And thus appel
lant's prior possession of the
physical means of committing this
murder is admissible as some evi-
dence of the possibility or prob
ability of her having done It,"

While Civic Leuders
Give Reasons for 1t

A proposal to change the names
Of the two B streets. extending
from the Capitol TO the Anacostia
River, was unopposed today at q
public hearing called by the Com
missionerS.
The city heads want to change
B street Sc. to Independence ave-
nue. and B street NE. to ConSti-
tuition avenue. The streets will be
OF increased Importance when the
East Capitol Street Bridge is built.
Both are to be improved.
The change was suggested by
the Commissioners for two rea-
sons. They said it would eliminate
confusion as to where the avenues
end and the streets begin, and
also would At into the long range
plan for developing the area east
OF the Capitol into an extension
of the Mall.
William Maio. representing the
Southeast Washington Citizens
Association. the Southeast Busi-

address printed on them but was
willing to contribute the envelopes
to the cause of having the streets

Defense Department
Unifies Telephones;
Gets New Number

The Defense Departments uni
f1cation Of telephones got under
way smoothly as the Pentagon
answered for the first time today
to the dialing Of Liberty $500.
Most callers, to be sure, were
still spinning the old Republic
6700 but they experienced no de-
lays. They were automatically cut
in on the new number.
The change today was the first
step in the consolidation of De-
fense telephones under the worlds
largest private switchboard-to
comprise $4,000 instruments by
next October.
Efficiency Is Promoted.
According to Everett L. Butler,
director of communications for
the Defense Department, the pro-
gram will save dollars and pro-
mote efficiency. Cuts in person.
mel are expected to be made while
the changes are being effected.
In the foreseeable future, the
Pentagon number will be the only
one on the Liberty exchange.
For the present, it still will be
necessary to dial the Navy number
Republic 7400-for telephones
at the main Navy building and at
several Navy annexes.
When the phone unification is
completed, Navy numbers will
also be obtainable through the
Defense number. George w. Der
rickson, telephone wire chief at
the Pentagon for the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company,
said the tentative date for COM
pleting the switch is October 6.
$4,000 Phones Added.
This unification will add about
$4,000 telephones to the Pentagon
switchboard, which now has about
21.000. Of the latter number,
about 1900 are in the Pentagon
proper and others are in nearby
military buildings.
Mr.. Derrickson told a reporter
the changeover will save time.
especially on Pentagon-N Navy calls
It will eliminate the dialing of a
code number when making a call
from one to the other.
The changeover also involves
the assignment Of five-digit ex-
tensions to all telephones on the
Pentagon switchboard. About
5000 Of them have been identified
by four digits in the past.
Mr.. Derrickson estimated that
the completed system will ap-
proximate the telephone hookup
of a city of 200, 900 persons. It
will easily handle $50, 900 calls q
day. he said.

DC. Guard Plans
lis Biggest Move
SinceWar' 'sEnd
Entire Complement
Of ! 500 Will Head
To Comp July 8 and 9
By WhIiom J. WheotIey

The largest postwar movement
of District National Guard troops
into training camps will take place
July 8 and 9.
1t will be the first time since
the guard was reorganized after
the World War II that all the
troops will be in camp at once
Approximately $500 men will be
involved in the two-day move
ment.
1t. Col. Robert F. Cocklin. CHIEF
OF staff, said that the list Military
Police Battalion, and the 715th
Transportation Truck Company
commanded by 1t. Col. Sylvester
Blackwell, will leave early on the
morning of July 8 for Indiantown
Gap, Pa. where they will spend
two weeks in the field training.
Guns in Convoy.
A larger contingent Of about
1900 troops will leave in three
conveys beginning at 6 O'Clock
July 9. First to move will be the
heavy, slow-going convoy of the
large anti-aircraft guns and
heavy tractors.
The others will include a con-
voy of the 260th Anti Aircraft
Artillery and the 161st Military
Police Company. The latter, under
command of 1t. Col. George O.
Weber. will be in direct charge
OF the movement and the policing
OF the convoy en- route.
1t has been decided, according
to Col. Cocklin that these troops
the main body of which will train
at Fort Miles, on Cape Henlopen
Del. will proceed to the camp site
by the long route around the head
OF the bay. It will require ap-
proximately IL hours for the road
movement, including the time out
for meals en- route.
The shorter route, by way of the
Annapolis -Matapeake Ferry was
ruled out because some bridges on
this route on the Eastern Shore
were reported too weak to support
the heavy equipment.
Two Areas Used.
While the main body of artil-
lery-troops will be based at Miles.
the heavy gun battalion will camp
at Bethany Beach, Del, about 20
miles south of the camp. This, it
was explained, was decided to
avoid the loss of time in moving
the heavy guns each day from
Fort Miles to the designated firing
point. where the guns will shoot
at aerial targets towed by planes.
In addition to the artillery, the
other units to take their training
at Fort Miles will include the
257th Army Band, the 1O4th
Ordnance Company and the
Headquarters and Headquarters
Brig. Gen. William H. Aben-
droth. commanding the District
will go into the field with

well as the artillery units at

Crime Probers
Asked for Leads
On D. Angles
Numbers Syndicate
Evidence Sought by
District Committee
By Miriom Ottenbero

The Senate District Committee
has asked the Senate crime hunt
ers to tip off the District group on
any leads to crime syndicates prey
ing on Washington victims, it was
learned today.
The District Committee has in
dicated 1t would be willing to fol-
low through on these leads and
take over the Washington angles
= Of the Nationwide crime invest.-
cation.
Gerhard P. van Arkel, counsel
for the District Committee, and
Rudolph HALEY. counsel for the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee, have had some informal
talks on the idea of the District
Committee getting into the inves-
tigation.
Watches Local Angles.
Mr.. Van Arkel said he had asked
Mr.. Haley to watch for any de-
velopments affecting Washington.
What the District Committee will
do with this information, he said,
depends on what turns up.
So far the crime hunters have
shown definite interest in making
pin-point investigations in half
a dozen cities, but Washington has
not been mentioned on that list.
The type of information the
District Committee wants may
include some of the material un-
covered by Downey Rice, an as
sistant counsel for the crime
group, who has been working on
the Florida angles of the in
vestigation.
Helped in Fay Inquiry.
Mr.. Rice already has indicated
the existence of tie-ups between
Washington and Florida gamblers.
AS consultant to United States
Attorney George Morris Fay dur
ing the special grand jury in
vestigation of gambling here, Mr..
Rice presumably is in a good posi-
ton to link some of the informa-
ton he picked up here with that
from Florida.
A House District Subcommittee
has been investigating crime and
its punishment here for some
months but its emphasis has been
on holes in law enforcement and
the need for new legislation.
Chairman Kefauver of the Sen
ate crime group said his commit
tee intends to complete its inves-
tigation in Miami as soon as pos
sible.
He said as soon as committee
investigators in Florida finish
their work the committee intends
to have further hearings. Sena-
tor Kefauver and Senator Hunt,
Democrat. of Wyoming made a
flying trip to Florida a few weeks
ago to hold hearings behind
closed doors on Florida gambling.
Numbers System Studied.
He made this statement in re-
ply to a letter from Senator Hol-
land, Democrat, of Florida, who
asked the crime committee to in
vestigate interstate aspects of the
numbers games known as Cuba"
and 'Bolita." Senator Kefauver
assured Senator Holland that the
crime investigators will 60 into
that.
In CUBA" the winning num-
ber is picked in Havana and |
flashed to this country while the
winning number in "Bolita" is
drawn locally.
Before holding open hearings
on the Florida disclosures, the
committee is due this week to
open its public hearings by ques-
tioning Government officials on
the extent of the crime problem.
Present plans call for these hear
ings to start Wednesday.
