Death Penalty
Option Backed

The Federation Of Citizens
Associations last night opposed
a House bill which would sub
Stitute q life sentence for the
mandatory death sentence in
first-degree murder cases.
The group favorS another
House bill which would remove
the mandatory feature of the
death penalty, but would leave
the jury the right to recon-
mend death by separate unani-
nous vote. They noted that the
United States Attorneys Office
and the District Commissioners
agreed with the citizens groups
because of the feeling that a
m andatory death penalty
makes a jury reluctant to bring
in guilty verdicts.
The federation said complete
abolition Of a death penalty
would be unwiSe because, in its
words, it may act as some
deterrent to murder, even if it
be- only slight"
A bill offered in the Senate
asking that the District Traffic
Act be amended by increasing
the penalty for certain traffic
offenSeS from 10 days to 80 days
in Jail, was opposed by the fed
Grafton which suggested that
the terms be increased only to
30f days. It would cover such
offenSes as obtaining a permit
by Misrepresentation; altering
a permit; failing to obey traffic
signals and making improper
turns.
In other action the fedora
ton:
!. Supported a House bill
which would end unauthorized
practice of law by persons who
have not been admitted to
practice before a court of rec
ord in the United States. It
mainly concerns drawing up
documents such as wills, deeds
and mortgages.

French Probe
AssembIyFire

PARIS, Mar. "a (AP).-A
flash fire started by an ap-
parently accidental explosion
today badly damaged rooms in
the historic Palais Bourbon, the
Sprawling French National AS
Sembly building on the left
bank Of the Seine.
Firemen and police said their
preliminary investigation indi-
Gated the explosion in the As
Sembly restaurant was touched
off by a gas leak and an elec-
trical short circuit or a careless
smoker.
Reports that an explosion
preceded the fire Immediately
aroused the suspicion that a
bomb had been planted in the
building, since political extrem-
lists angered by French Algerian
policies have exploded many
homemade bombs in Paris
recently.
The fire was brought under
control after almost 4 hours OF
fighting by seven Paris fire
brigades.
Damage was reported heavy
but confined to the restaurant
bar and library. The Assembly
room was untouched. The
damaged portion is on an in.
terror court, away from thi
pillared facade facing the river
The Assembly building wa
damaged two years ago wher
a bomb went off in one of thu

.CheWChose
Pupils Flee
Leaking Gas

About 750 children were
evacuated from Chevy Chase
Elementary School yesterday
afternoon after a teacher de-
tected leaking gas.
Montgomery County Fire In
spector Dan Karsner said an
alert fourth-grade teacher, Jer-
emiah Sullivan, notified school
authorities after the odor of
gas began to penetrate his
room.
Inspector Karsner said the
gas apparently had drifted up
to Mr.. Sullivan's classroom on
the second floor from two
valves in the basement boiler
room.
On Inspector Karsner's ad-
vice, the principal used the
schools public address system
to advise all teachers and stu
dents to get their wraps and
congregate on the school
grounds Immediately.
The students then were dis
missed and sent home.
