Housing Condemnation
Bill for District Siuned

President Roosevelt today signed
the bill to facilitate the repair or
condemnation of insanitary build
ings in the District.
The legislation was recommended
by the Commissioners who ex-
planned the present procedure is
unnecessarily cumbersome. The
purpose of the new law is to speed
up the process.
The principal change is to abolish
the right of the property owner to
apply to District Court for appoint
ment of a special board after the
Board for the Condemnation of In
sanitary Buildings has issued q
complaint. The property owner
would still be entitled to a hearing
by that board, however, and could
still appeal to the courts from ar
bitrary action"
The measure also shortens the
period Of notice within which con-
ditions complained of must be
corrected.

Roosevelt Won't Discuss
Report Of Churchill Visit

|, President Roosevelt had no COM
ment at his press conference today
on a Lisbon report that Prime Min
lister Churchill of Great Britain was
on his way to Washington, except
that it sounds like Lisbon.
Mr. Roosevelt also said he was not
yet ready to comment on the Bev-
eridge report proposing postwar
extension of the British social Sc
curity system.
He replied in the negative when
asked If he planned to send legis-
lation to the new Congress for ex-
tending the social security program.
NEW YORK, Dec. ID o. The
Stockholm newspaper Allehanda re-
ported today, quoting British quar-
tiers in Lisbon" as its source and
without confirmation from any
quarter, that Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill intends to leave to-
day for Washington to confer with
President Roosevelt.
The Berlin radio quickly broad
cast the Allehandas report.
