granted further extension to jan
uary in which to vacate, to make
way for the new George Washing
ton University Hospital, it was
learned last night.
Authority for the extension from

sistant Federal Works administra-
tor. In letter to the Rt. Rev. Angus

the time to January !, he said the
Government would expect tn
church to have plans for removal
Immediately after January /.
The question of when the Gov
eminent can take possession of the
entire block will come before Dis
trict Court Justice Jesse c. Adkins
tomorrow. He ruled Friday that the
Government had the right to take
the entire block, including the
church. He strongly recommended
however, that occupants of the block
be given more time, beyond Deem
Der 1, to find new locations.
Court Hears Case Tomorrow.
Arguments from counsel repre-
senting the Government and the
protesting property owners, will be
heard on the date for possession.
Two property owners already have
agreed to sell, and accepted FWA
price proposals: The agency de-
posted $742, 400 in court week ago
to cover the offers.

Lanham Act funds for the project,

the square at Washington Circle,
bounded by Twenty-second. Twen-
ty-third, streets and Pennsylvania
avenue. The Government was ready
to start construction about Janu-
airy l, Federal attorney told the
court Friday, and wanted possession
of the square by December l.
Meanwhile one of the property
owners, Mrs. Mary L. Saunders, So,
colored, who has been fighting the
removal order in court through At
torney Arthur Lambert, told The
Star she has three sons in the
armed forces, and feels strongly
that the Government should not
take her home at 22l1 street NV.

The Federal estimate of the
value of her house is Sill $50, which
is deposited in court and available
to her But she insisted she
doesn't want to sell or move. She
has almost completed paying for
her home, she said. 1t is not far
from her place of employment in
the Government and from her
church, Nineteenth Street Baptist
Church, she said.
One son, Joseph Hays Saunders,
who was graduated from Lincoln
University in Pennsylvania, is in
the Navy, she said, while her two
other sons, Samuel and Royal,
twins. were graduated from Dun
bar High School here and had at
tended Lincoln University before
entering the Army and the Navy
respectively. Samuel is somewhere
In France, she said. Her husband

The subject is expected to be
studied at meeting, expected to
be called soon by Chairman Bilbo.
1t appeared yesterday the nomina-

the case of DR.. Marshall L. Shepard
for recorder of deeds.
Citizens to Be Recognized.
The support given Mr.. Mason by
long list Of citizens organiza-
tons is expected to be recognized
by committee members while con-
cerned over Mr.. Mason's nomina-
ton because the Gallinger inves-
t1gating subcommittee had recon-
mended his custer along with four
health officials. Senator Capper de-
clared recently the citizens asso-
Citations should express their views
because the people have no vote.
Formal Endorsements since then
have been filed with the District
Committee by the following:
Southwest, Columbia Heights
Logan = Thomas Circle, Sixteenth
Street Highlands, Metropolis View,
Michigan Park, Lincoln Civic, Bur-
leith, Connecticut Avenue. Dahl
green Terrace, Chevy Chase, North
east, North Randle Community Cit
liens, Brightwood, Capitol View,
Pleasant Plains Civic, Brookland
Georgetown Citizens, Manor Park
Citizens, Rock Greek, Anacostia and
the Foxhal Community Citizens
Associations.

istered by the Society of Natives. the
Federation Of Civic Associations. the
Association of Oldest Inhabitants
the directors of the Washington
Board of Trade, the Baptist Conven-
ton OF the District, the Washington
Automouve Trade Association. the
Central Labor Union, the Gen. Mel
son A. Miles Camp, No. /, United
Spanish War Veterans, and the Cen
trail Businessmen's Association.
McCarran Is Opposed.
There has been no protest filed
with the committee. but a floor
contest is anticipated as Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada
former chairman of the District
Committee, has advised the Senate
he will make a determined fight
against confirmation. He also has
announced his approval of all rec.
concentrations in the Gallinger re-
port.
Two members Of the investigating
committee still are members of the
District group: Senators Bushfield
OF South Dakota and Buck of Della
ware. both Republicans. The third
member. Senator Holman, Republi.
can, of Oregon, since defeated in
the primary, was transferred from
the committee months ago.
