Of PLAZA AWARDS

izing Settlement of Unques-
toned Claims.

The Senate today passed joint reso-
luton authorizing the payment OF
awards not questioned in the so-called
plaza cases, the property which the
government is taking over to enlarge
the Capitol grounds between the Capitol
and the Union station.
The resolution. which was passed
without debate when the calendar was
taken up in the Senate today, was in
troduced by Senator Sherman of IL
linois, and reported favorably from the
District committee last March. 1t de-
clares:
whereas awards for the payment for
property taken in condemnation pro-
ceedinRs for what is commonly known
as the plaza cases We're made some time
ago. and have been subject to examlna-
ton by the Department of Justice to be
approved by it and other authority; and
.Whereas the President has found 1t
,mpracticable to separate the payments
which are not in controversy from those
which are, leaving those property own
ers whose claims are not attacked so
that payments cannot be made to them,
involving great consequent hardship:
Now. therefore, be 1t
..Resolved That the awards and pay
ments thereon to be made in such pro-
to he severable, SO that the Depart
ment of Justice and the President may
order such awards as are not in ques-
tion to be paid out of any appropriation
made therefor, reserving the remainder
for further consideration.
