D. {. Industrial Plant!
Urged 10 Plan Own
Civil Defense Steps

Organization of Washington's
industrial plants for self-protec-
ton in case of an attack on the
city was urged yesterday by the
District Office of Civil Defense.
Spokesman for the agency have
pointed out that much of the
responsibility for minimizing dam
age from a bombing attack and
preventing sabotage lies with the
management of the city's private
industrial plants.
Urging prompt organization of
plant employees for civil defense,
they have pointed out that the
regular services of the city organi-
cation will have their hands full
in case of attack. Protective
measures within individual plants,
they say, is a vital part of the
overall defense picture.
So far, few of the city's larger
business firms have made much
progress along this line. A signi-
f1cant exception, however, are the
public utilities who have a special
responsibility to continue service
under any circumstances.
A report issued yesterday by
Acting Civil Defense Director John
E. Fondahl declares that both the
Washington Gas Light Co. anc
the Potomac Electric Power Co
"are rapidly nearing the point
when both utilities will be 10C
per cent organized for civil de-
fense."
The steps taken by the gas
company include f1rst-aid courses
establishment of duplicate rec.
ords in Maryland and Virginia,
creation of a radio network; plan!
to isolate gas lines into damaged
areas; organization of a specia

Appeals Court Erase
Footprint Evidence
o.
In Burglary Case

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday turned thumbs
down on the old adage, IF the
shoe fits. wear it."
The shoe in the case belonged
to Robert ]. Judd. 20, convicted
of housebreaking and larceny
The fit came when police matched
the shoe to footprints found al
the scene of a burglary at the
Standard Transfer g. Storage Co
Evidence Held Insufficient.
But the appellate court ruled
that even though the shoe fit the
print, police had no right to take
the shoe in the first place. The
judges said trial evidence failed tc
show Judd gave police permission
to search his living quarters.
During their investigation OF
the $4,000 burglary in March
1850, police arrested Judd at thu
home of co-defendant. They re.
covered some of the travellers
checks taken, but not from Judd
Then they went with Judd tt
his apartment. They found a shot
there which they said matched
the footprints at the scene of thu
crime.
Denies Giving Consent.
Police said that although they
had no search warrant, Judd CAV,
them permission to search hi
apartment. Judd denied this. TIL,
appellate court ruled that it wa
up to the prosecution to prov,
that consent had been given.
In it's majority opinion, writer
by Judge NGeorge T. Washington
the court held there had not beer
sufficient proof that Judd ha,
agreed. They sent the case bacl
to the lower court. Judge Bennett

ion, agreed with the lower court

Law Sought 10 Protect
Abe License Holders
In zoning Changes

The Commissioners plan to
seek legislation to protect the
holder of liquor license from loss
of the permit in cases where his
neighborhood is rezoned from
commercial to residential use.
Under the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Act, licenses are not re-
newed. They expire at the end of
each year, and new licenses are
issued.
When a property licensed to sell
hard liquor has been rezoned to
residential use, the ABC Board
cannot issue it a new license
under the general provisions OF
the law.
Board Suggests Exception.
The ABC Board suggested an
amendment to make an exception
of such cases, where the license
is in effect at the time of applica-
ton for new permit.
The Commissioners at first dis
approved the proposal. Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue said
this was done with the under
standing that only one case, now
before the Zoning Commission
was affected.
It was learned later. however
that II businesses would be COM
PEELED to close unless the law were
changed, he said. On reconsidera-
ton, the city heads decided tc
have the Corporation Counse.
draft the proposed amendment.
Other Business Not Affected.
Other types of businesses which
are in existence at the time of a
change to more restricted zoning
are permitted to carry on under
"a nonconforming status.
The Commissioners also are
looking into the possibility OF
making more legal service avail
able to the ABC Board. Mr.. Dono-
hue said he considered the work
of the board important enough to
justify a full time legal assistant.
