On Civil Defense
Powers Called Off

A House District subcommittee
hearing on legislation to expand
the authority. Of the District
Commissioners on civil defense
was called of this morning a
few minutes after it was sched-
uled to meet.
Chairman league, Democrat
Of Texas, said the District Com
miSsioners and other officials OF
the municipal government here
had not been given opportunity
to study amendments proposed
by Maryland and Virginia to the
pending bill.
Mr.. league said he would call
another meeting when the Com
missioners are ready to report on
the proposed amendments.
One of these amendments was
submitted in writing to Mr.,
league from Virginia, he said,
but apparently had not been
sent to the Commissioners.
The Virginia proposal which
came from j, H. Wyse, co-ordi-
nator of civil defense for that
State would have given the
nearby States power to designate
the points to which people
would be evacuated from Wash
ington in case of an enemy at
tack. Under the pending bill the
District Commissioners would
designate such points.
Mr.. Wyse wrote that Maryland
was in favor Of the Virginia
amendment.

For weeks the United States
Weather Bureau has lambasted
tie washington weather with
such epithets as 'thot." humid. "
"changeable," "chancy" an d
threatening"
Today the weather struck
back.
For IS minutes all the lights
were out. the elevators stopped
between floors, the electric type
writers silenced and the adding
machines utterly still at Weather
Bureau headquarters, 2400 M
street NV.
It was the weather. No official
will admit it, but clearly it was
the weather.
Afterward. the only informa-
ton the Weather Bureau was re-
leasing between its hourly-and
somewhat chastened - weather
predictions. was that the electri-
city went of. That's all-just
went of.
Mrs. Katy Randall, "a. who
runs one of the buildings ele-
vators, was caught with her car
between the fourth and fifth
floors. She couldn't open the
door, she couldn't see her hand
in front OF her face and she
wondered how long the air would
hold out. Somebody shouted to
her to just keep still, everything
would be all right.
II was getting a little scared,
just the same" she said later.

The reporter called the direc-

The administrator said, there

But who else would want to

Changes Affecting
Streets, lund Use

A plea to speed Southwest
redevelopment as much as pos
sible was made to the Com.
missioners today on behalf Of
residents of the area.
WED like you to stop de-
stroying and begin building"
said Mrs. Franklin G. Sartwell.
president of the Southwest Citi-
zens' Association.
Mrs. Sartwell was one Of the
witnesses at a public hearing on
proposed changes. affecting the
street layout and land use Of
two segments Of Area B, South.
west redevelopment project.
The Commissioners added their
approval to that of the National
Capital Planning Commission
after the hearing produced no
specific opposition to the
changes.
NA0hBC CO MluOK
The changes, relatively minor.
include abandonment of old
plans to connect Third street
with the proposed Southwest (F
street) freeway by means Of
tight traffic interchanges at that
intersection. Instead, Third
street under the new plan would
be blocked of at e street and
the north-south freeway con-
nection would be shifted east.
ward.
Another change, would lop of
the. northernmost tip of the
proposed Randall Recreation
Center at South Capitol street
and the freeway. This would
provide more land for extending
the freeway as part of the city's
new inner belt road system east
|of South Capitol street.
The Recreation Center, in
turn. would be increased In size
as a result from lit to 12.l
acres.
Mrs. Sartwell said she wanted
to voice citizen resentment ito
the indecisive policy-the con-
|tinuous upset in which an en-.
tire population has been thrust,
deeper and deeper, since the
original redevelopment Of this
ancient and historic portion Of
our city was proposed.
'sBlocks and Blocks of RubbIe"
"At this moment, due to an
luncharted policy for the rede-
velopment, we have blocks and
blocks reduced to rubble and
covered with weeds. We have
blocks and blocks of Boarded up
and decaying houses in which
rats have . field day and any
fugitive from Justice or other
undesirable could hide out in
definitely as far as their super.
vision Is concerned -"
She went on to say that I'VE
have scores Of little merchants
who are facing ruin because
their customers have been moved
out or have moved away them
selves to less depressing situa-
tions or have been evicted by
private owners whose own plans
for restoration and redevelop-
ment have gone up in smoke in
the present state Of uncertainty.
Charles j. Bauer, executive
secretary of the Building Own
ers and Managers Association.
opposed construction Of private
office or rental buildings any.
where in the Southwest rede-
velopment area. He has con.
tended that these would com.
pete with existing properties.
