Civil Defense Drawn
On Theory Of Hours
Warning Before Raid

Civil defense planners are as
suming that by July l, 1855, the
country will be equipped for at
least an hours advance warning
of aerial attack.
The probability of complete
surprise from any air attack is
constantly diminishing" as
radar networks and other pro-
tective measures progress, &C
cording to the latest planning
assumptions of the Federal Civil
Defense Administration.
Surprise Attack Possible.
The administration pointed
out that "the possibility of sur
prise will never disappear en-
tirely."
Dispersal of people from con-
centrated areas may cause many
to be caught with minimum, i'm
provised protection, it said, but
it was estimated IT,. casualty
total still would be considerably
less under a dispersal plan.
It was assumed that most
people in areas of concentration
would be able to move an aver
age of 2 miles before the attack.
Other assumptions by the civil
defense agency are:
An attacking enemy would
rely mainly on the nuclear or
atomic bomb.
Would Employ Sabotage.
Sabotage and biological and
chemical weapons also would be
used before or after atomic at
tack.
The first air-borne attack
would include sufficient nuclear
weapons to hit all 70 critical
target areas and a large proper
ton would be delivered. Similar
attacks would follow.
1T is believed that measures
designed to meet a nuclear weap-
on attack would also be sufficient
to meet any high explosive or
incendiary attacks" said the
agency.
Special measures to meet
large-scale biological and chem
ical attacks are a continuing
necessity. Any fear and panic
after an attack would be ex-
plotted by enemy Psychological
warfare activities.
eve must be prepared to meet
a flood of false rumors, dissemi-
mated by word of mouth, by leaf
lets and by clandestine radio ope-
rating under the name of known
stations"

Two old friends parted COM
pany yesterday after As years of
inseparability.
But the break was not COM
plete. Miss Lydia Burklin, 20,
director of Friendship House in
Southeast Washington for As
years, retired-but she was also
made director emeritus of the
institution.
Several hundred Washington
area residents attended formal
ceremonies marking the 50th an
niversary of Friendship House
and the 45th anniversary of Miss
Burklin's dictatorship.
The commemorative exer-
cises took the form of a pageant
which sought to trace the history
of the settlement house. The
story was acted out by a cast
of children on a tiny stage that
at times was as crowded as the
small auditorium into which an
estimated 200 spectators were
jammed.
From One-ROOm Office.
Friendship House was largely
the story of Miss Burklin's
career. The steps which saw the
institution grow from a one
room Office to it's present so room
building at GIG D street Sc,
were portrayed.
The citation naming Miss
Burklin Director Emeritus re-
cited her pioneering courage
u. her ever-youthful spirit and
her warm friendship for people,"
1t paid tribute to "the faith and
vision with which she has in
spired and guided those lives she
has touched"
Many of the guests yesterday
were those whose lives had been
touched by Miss Butklin and
Friendship House. Some of them
came from distant Maryland and
Virginia points to witness the
ceremonies.
A portrait of Miss Burklin,
painted by Marcella Comes, was
and will be hung in the
first floor Office. Mrs. Philip Steb-
bing announced that the board
of directors had decided upon
establishment of a Lydia Burk-
lin Scholarship Fund which
would be used to further the
training of selected staff men,

George Washington Universities
regarding an affiliation, it was
learned. Spokesman for both in
Stitutions said no formal con-
sideration was yet being given
such a move, however, and it
was indicated the idea is only in
the talking stage.
Legislative Counsel.
DR.. Kinks resigned to become
legislative counsel of the Ma
tional Automobile Dealers As
sociation here.
He was appointed president
of the law school in February,
1858. He served from 1949 to
1852 as dean, leaving then for a
brief period as an assistant At
torney General. His appointment
to the latter post in June, 1852,
was not confirmed by the Sem
ate and later was withdrawn by
President Eisenhower, along with
q number of others.
He is also a member of the
District Board of Education.
At the time DR.. Kinks re-
Joined the law school he an
nounced an intention to expand
the school into other graduate
fields. The law school has a
loose affiliation with the Wash
ington School of Psychiatry,
which has rented classroom space
from the law school. DR.. Kinks
is a member Of the psychiatry
schools board, and the latter
board has one member on the
law school board. 1t has an en-
rollment of about 800.
The law school, which is at
1925 New York avenue NV, has
about 80 faculty members, but
only three are full time. Glasses
are held at night. About $50
students are now enrolled.
Enrolment has fallen off
somewhat recently. but a spokes-
man ascribed this to the ending
of veterans enrollmentS under
the CT Bill of Rights.
An authoritative source de-
MED that there is any plan to
dissolve the school.
One problem with which
trustees are faced in connection
with any merger idea is that of
preserving the schools identity.
American University five years
ago acquired the Washington
College of Law, and George
Washington already has large
law school.
One source indicated there
might be some effort to affiliate
with an out-of town institution,
so the National University name
would be retained.
National University was
founded in 1869. The law school
at present has IL trustees, in
cluding Supreme Court Justice
Douglas. Justice Douglas served
for several years as chancellor.
The university'S first five chan
cellorS were presidents of the

f1ngerprinting of juveniles, a
move which would be strenuously
opposed by police.
Judge Edith Cockrill, however,
pointed out this week end that
the matter of fingerprinting ju-
veniles is in the hands of her
Advisory Committee and is
scheduled to be taken up with
Chief Robert v. Murray. There
is no legislation against it. she
admitted. merely the thinking
and policies of persons con-
nected with the court.
"A good working relationship
with the press" was urged by
the report, land the inviting of
press representatives to attend
hearings"
That is an unheard of thing
with the Districts Juvenile Court
where reporters are forbidden by
United States marShals to do as
much as peer briefly through the
courtroom window. Although the
report does not want to see
juveniles or their families identi-
fed. Judge Cockrill is set against
reporters near her courtroom.
Judge and Police at Odds.
In the District, a war has
ragged between Judge Cockrill
and the Metropolitan Police De-
partment over the matter of al
lowing the police access to court
dispositions in cases of juveniles.
Judge Cockrill maintains she
can give out such information to
police only on individual cases,
when a valid reason is set forth
for obtaining such information.
The police. however. feel they
should automatically have such
information for their records to
keep track Of individual Offend
ers. note patterns of juvenile de-
linQuercy and know which
offenders may again be walking
the streets.
The report failed to acknowl-
edge the controversy. saying,
"The conditions under which &C
cess to these records would be
given to other parties. such as
social or law enforcement agen-
cies having a legitimate interest
in them, should be provided for

Catering Business

More than a score of persons
testified today at a License Bu-
reau hearing on the granting of
a boarding house license to Mrs.
Alice Beasley Cabell. colored, at
1903 Varnum street NV.
Mrs. Cabell has for many
years operated a catering busi-
ness at 113 U street NV. Many
witnesses testified she appar-
emily plans to conduct a similar
business at the Varnum street
address. Residents of the area
protested against any CONNER
cialization of this residential
neighborhood.
A total of Is witnesses ap-
peared to object. Another 20
area residents were on hand, but
did not testify.
Most of the neighborhood is
zoned residential A restricted but
1903 is residential B.
Leo A. O'Neill, chief plumbing
inspector of the District. said a
registered plumber has been
asked to install a three-part
sink. a pot sink. several drains,
a commercial gas range and a
water cooler with automatic ice
cube maker. He said, however,
that his Office has received no
application for a license to do
the plumbing work.
Testify to Character.
A number of Mrs. Cabell'S for
mer neighbors on U street testi-
fled to her character and the
fine, quiet, orderly" operation
of her business. The Rev. Adolf
phus w. Birch, colored, of st.
Georges Church, which is across
U street from 113, said he has
never had any complaints about
the character of the business.
Residents of the Varnum street
neighborhood said they have no
personal objections to Mrs. Ca
bell but they object to any COM
liberalization of the area.
Among those who objected
were the Rev. j. Victor Murt-
land, pastor of Grace Lutheran
Church, which is 20 feet away
from 1903. and the Rev. Clar-
ence T. Nelson, pastor of Angus
tana Lutheran Church, whose
home is at 1920 Argyle terrace

Two Pastors in Support.
Those who testified to Mrs.
Cabell'S character included the
Rev. Arthur F. Elmes, pastor of
Peoples Congregational Church.
and the Rev. Charles Rocks,
colored, pastor of Lincoln Con-
gregational Temple. In all, II
witnesses spoke in her defense.
Thomas A. Helan, District Su-
perintendent of licenses, said
that his Office never had knowl-
edge that Mrs. Cabell was op-
Grating catering business at
the U street address. He re-
fused to rule. however, that such
a business could not legally be
run under a boarding house
license.
