UPI Staff Writer United Press International WASHINGTON UPH Sunday is a day off for Washington news paper people, or most of them. Washington cherishes the entire weekend. This particular Sunday not only was a day off, it was glorious. Winter had not yet set tled on the Atlantic seaboard. The biggest weekend local news had been the formal report of the Secretary of Navy that our Navy was "second to none." Earlier in the week the House of Representa tives had passed the Third Sup plemental National Defense Ap propriations Bill, a matter of $8 2 billions. The vote had been 309 to 5. President John J. Jouett of MARTIKEZ, Calif. (ITU-Two unwed mothers were scheduled to return lo jail today for getting pregnant in violation of a judge's order. Lucy Martinez and Lucy Tur rietta. both 4, were convicted of fraudulently accepting county aid lo needy children. They were ac cused of receiving more than $21, W3 in aid (or their 10 illegitimate children over a period of 10 years. They were granted probation niorc than a year ago by Judge Michael J. Galto of the Pittsburg Judicial Court on the conditions that they refrain from sexual interccursc ui.til they were mar ried. He ordered the Pittsburg women to jail last month when he le.nrno'l th.il Mice T,,t-in i i ' given birth to a girl-and Miss'Pinnl ad-H Martinez was exneetinn tuino Til Albert M. Cendich. a i attornev ff r the American Civil Liberties inion, argued that the constitu tional rights of the women had been violated because they were arrested tor engaging in sexual intercourse. Bendich contended that "it is respectfully submitted that sexual intercourse between two adults. treely consenting persons, in the privacy cf their own home, is a fundamental aspect of ccrumil liberty and privacy guaranteed by1 u.:u iJiocess oi law. Last week the state District Court of A; peals in San Francisco granted a petition of habeas cor pus M response to Bendich's a--guments. The mothers were freed on Sl.GOO bail perding hearing on the case. However, the court reversed it self Friday without comment and ordered the womea back to jail. A .spokesman for the Contra Cosla County Jail said they were ex pected to surrender today.

Washington felt it had reason to be what it was: Safe, warm and comfortable. In Griffith Stadium, Washington's beloved Redskins were playing the season's last pro fessional home game. A great many admirals, generals and high civilian brass were watching. Oth ers were playing golf. The com munity was out in the open, but for lag-abeds, the hung-over and the ill. . That is how it was on that day of infamy, the Seventh Day of December, 1941, in Washington, DC. Shortly after 2:35 p.m., Steve Early, White House Press Secre tary, asked Louis? Hachmeister to set up a simultaneous confer ence telephone call to the press associations. "All on," Steve asked urgently, and called the roll. "This is Steve Early- at the White House,-' he said with as much composure as he could summon. "At 7:35 a.m., Hawaiian time the Japanese bombed Pearl Ha-bor. The attacks are continu ing and, no, I- don't know how many are dead." That was about all Steve had then. The time of awaiting events had ended. By telephone, broad cast and loud speaker, the call went cut. Idle caddies raced around the golf links calling men back to their desks. Bewildered thousands in Griffith Stadium heard one, another "and, finally, scores of Army, Navy and other government personages urgently paged. As the big shots scram bled, others hurried away, too. They wero the newspaper and radio men and women whn had heard those urgent calls and sus pected what they meant. Radio broadcasts put the brakes screeching on many an automo bile within one or two hundred miles' of Washington' that day. turned the car around and started it home much faster than the law allows.
