For instance, the Office of Civil
Defense would be authorized, I'M

take all other preparatory steps,
including the partial or full mo-

While most of the powers of the
District Commissioners and the
new defense agency are outlined
in somewhat general terms, some
details are given.
For instance. one provision,
which was not carried in the
World War II blackout act, would
authorize mutual aid agreements
with States or political subdivi-
sions for reciprocal civil defense
aid and mutual assistance in case
of disaster too great to be dealt

Each one got handshake and
the Truman smile at its best. The

the President who was wearing a

What protection would the pro-
posed new District civil defense
office give John Doe and his fam
lily in case of an atom bomb at
tack on the National Capital?x
Every one would like an answer
to this question. In time reply
will be forthcoming. But, despite
the fact Congress has sent to the
President legislation to set up the
defense office, and the District
Commissioners have been working
on preliminary plans, details of
what will be done remain some
what of mystery.
The civil defense measure
cleared Congress yesterday when
the House agreed to Senate
amendments requiring civil de-
fense personnel to be screened for
loyalty by the FBI and to be sub
Ject to civil service.

Powers of wide flexibility would

Street Triangle Use
For Housing Opposed
By Citizen Spokesman

Home owners and citizens asso-
citation spokesmen joined today in
an appeal for legislation to stop
a row house and commercial de-
velopment on the half-acre tri-
angle at Eighteenth and Taylor
streets and South Dakota ave-

They appealed to the fiscal
subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee to approve bill
by Senator Mundt, Republican of
South Dakota, directing the Park
and Planning Commission to buy
the triangle for park purposes or
as a site for a memorial.
Two Fear Precedent.
The bill was opposed by Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West,
representing the Commissioners,
and Thomas Settle. representing
the planning commission. They
said enactment of the bill would
set bad precedent and invite a
flood of similar proposals.
The fight for the bill was led
by Miss Catherine Flynn of Alps

Of the zoning committee of the
Burroughs Citizens Association,
and Carl M. Walker of 1915 North

that the triangle be acquired as

be willing to pay the cost of the

Take to Cool Pool
On Arrival at Zoo

A pair of sultry Steller sea
lions-the ice on top of their
flight cages melted by Washington
heat-lost no time in getting into
the Zoos cool pool on their arrival
today from somewhere in the
northwest"
The Zoo already had two Cal
ifornia sea lions and another
Steller who beat them to the
pool by two weeks.
Mrs. Mann always says they
sound like they need a soda mint, ;"
DR.. William Mann, Zoo director,
said as the animals greeted one
another. rubbed noses and dived
in a huddle.
The beige Stellers, named for
q Russian explorer, are about
3 years old. They cost about $3.50
each. The bull is six-footer and
according to the four keepers
who carried him to the pool, he
weighs about $50 pounds. DR..
Mann said some bulls grow to
1000 pounds.
