Power 10 Evacuafe
ID. {. Ruled Lacking

The Commissioners at present
have no legal authority to order
an evacuation of the District in
case of a civil defense emer-
gency, Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West has ruled.
Mr.. West said that the black
out act" of 1941 Authorizes the
Commissioners to order an
emergency evacuation only dur
ing the existence of a state of
war and with the approval Of
the Secretary Of the Army.
Since there is now no state Of
war Mr.. West held that the city
heads could not even call a prac-
tice evacuation.
The city heads obtained legal
opinion on this and other ques-
tions after receiving a request
from DR.. John C. Balloch of the
Johns Hopkins University Opera
tions Research Office. This re-
quest was for guidance in the
planning of an evacuation pro-
gram for the Washington area.
Mr.. West noted. however, that
the proposed new civil defense
law now being studied for the
District would specifically au-
thorize the Commissioners in
case Of a civil defense emer-
gency proclaimed by the Presi-
dent or Congress to order an
evacuation of the District.

A model of a 81 million B'nai
Birth building was unveiled at a
"groundbreaking" banquet last
night by Chief Justice Warren
who said the planned Jewish
cultural center "embodies the
spirit Of America"
ut can become a source Of new
inspiration for all Americans, "
Justice Warren said in an ad-
dress at the Mayflower Hotel.
Nearly 800 members and guests
Of the organization were in at
tendance. The eight-story struc-
ture will be built at the corner of
Rhode Island avenue and Seven
teenth street NV. It is expected
to be ready next year.
The building will serve as q
storehouse Of historic exhibits
including docum ents, manu-
scripts, portraits and collections
dealing with Jewish life in
America. It viii also house the
Four Freedoms Memorial Library,
sponsored by the B'nai Birth
Women.
Urges Free Expression.
Justice Warren called for the
encouragement Of free express
sion in all the art forms, litera-
ture, drama, "of the arts and
music -. If the message OF
freedom is to strike fire in the
hearts Of men,"
Tyranny is fearful Of the
printed word; it stands in dread
before the power of a great can
vas: and 1t knows to its sorrow
the overwhelming sweep of mu-
sic dedicated to the spirit Of
liberty" he declared.
America has become great
because 1t has permitted the
spirit to develop in freedom, in
peace and unity. What we
win be tomorrow, next year,
and generations from now will
depend upon how we are able
to live together" Justice Warren
said.
The Chief Justice emphasized
the Importance of Americas role
as the melting pot of all nation-
alitieS and creeds.
Here individuals and groups
are not merely tolerated but they
are encouraged In the free exer-
else of their different religions,
their distinctive ancestral tradi-
tions. their diverse social and
philanthropic interests. We see
in these things not weakness but
strength.
They are esteemed and cher
isfed as facets Of freedom, and
we firmly believe that. far from
setting up conflicting loyalties,
they add richness and color and

Mother Facing Trial
In Death Of Son

Mrs. Gladys Jewell Payne, who
is accused of giving her 8-year-
old son a fatal dose of barbit-
yates. will be tried for murder on
December z and 8 in Alexandria
Corporation Court without q
jury.
The trial date was set today
and Mrs. Payne's court-appointed
attorney William Moncure, re-
quested' that the Judge hear the
case without any jury.
Mrs. Payne's son, Wallace,
died in November, 1852. It was
two months later, however, be-
fore police received final medical
reports that an overdose of bar
bituates caused the death. She
was arrested in January, 1858
and charged with murder.
On request of her attorney,
the court sent Mrs. Payne to
the Southwestern State Hos
pital at Marion, Va. for mental
observation. She was brought
back to Alexandria last week to
face trial on the murder charge
after the hospital reported she
was sane.
