Doctors Fight to Save Veteran,
Victim of 2Rore Blood Diseases

Lipschultz of leukemia, X-ray
treatments to the spleen, cannot be
applied because doctors say the rays
would destroy more of the coagu-
lating agent.
Not only is the leukemia causing
a dangerous multiplication OF the

coagulent deficiency make it a
perilous operation for him even tc

hope" Mrs. Softer said. Il thought
that maybe some one would read
about my brother who knows way

who has discovered a cure for his
disease.

him."
The former CT, who served two
years in the European theater as a

complaining of growing tiredness.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Lipschultz COL
lapsed two blocks from his home and
had to call a cab to take him home.
Rushed to the Naval Hospital, he
was examined and put to bed in
quiet ward. Since then, his sister
said, the stricken man has grown

Senate Unit Assured
U. 5. Employees Want
Daylight Time Here
By Don S. Warren

A spokesman for Government
workers today assured the Senate
District Committee the average
Federal employe here wants summer
daylight saving time.
Responding to queries raised at
yesterdays hearing before the Home
Rule Subcommittee Of the Senate
group, G. l.. Zuch, president of the
Federal Recreation Council, said he
Was satisfied a great majority" of
government workers wanted the
clocks moved an hour ahead.
The House District Committee al
ready has reported a companion
bill! to give Washington daylight
saving time each year from the last
Sunday in April to the last Sunday
in September. It is to come to a
vote in the House next Monday.
A heavy majority of Washington
and nearby residents supported a
similar bill, by Senator McGrath
Democrat, of Rhode Island at a
hearing late yesterday before the
Senate District Home Rule Subcom-
mittee.
Favorable Action Baked.
Favorable action there, however,
was snagged temporarily on ques-
tions by Senators Johnston, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina and Holland,
Democrat, of Florida as to whether
Government workers and Govern
ment unions wanted the change.
When the Southerners spoke argu-
ment arose as to what the average
Government worker really wanted.
Harry S. Wender, president, and
Milo F. christensen, director of
the District Recreation Board
sought to explain that previous polls
showed desires for daylight saving
Postwar Washington, they said
must ration" play facilities "by the
hour"
But Senators Holland and John
ston insisted on delaying decision
until Government groups could be
heard from.
Senator Buck, Republican, of Del
aware, District Committee chair
man, said he was convinced a ma
jority of Washington residents
wanted the change. He said he
would wait a reasonable time for
replies and then call an executive
meeting to seek action.
Radio to Change.
Carleton Smith, manager of Radio
Station WRC, warned that confu-
sion would arise if Washington
stayed on standard time when most
of the major chain programs go on
daylight schedules.
The District Commissioners made
no final commitment but a report
by Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West said they would favor the bill
| if there were assurances similar
measures would be adopted for
nearby Maryland and Virginia.

Plan for Completing So Homes
For Veterans in Virginia Studied

A plan to complete a veterans
housing project six miles south Of
Alexandria, on which work was
stalled last week, was being studied
today, and indications were that So
veterans whose homes are started
would have them completed.
About 80 veterans, who bought
land on the site near the Richmond
highway, will be called into a meet
ing by Waldron E. Leonard, director
of the Veterans Information Center,
at 8 pm. Friday to discuss the pro-
posal.
Mr.. Leonard said the plan called
for the Colonial Investment Co.,
which has advanced about 100000
for the construction work, to take
over the project and complete all
homes now being built.
A Washington contractor filed suit
yesterday in Fairfax Circuit Court
for judgment of $4,219.5O against the
Mar Corp, the construction firm
which began the development last
fall. Filed by Arthur L. Dempsey
the suit asks collection on a promis-
sorry note signed by Nicholas E.
Bombard, president of Bo-Mar, and
indorsed by Mr.. Bombard and Carl
A. Marshall, an attorney, of Spring
Hill, Va.
Mr.. Leonard said all parties con-
cerned had shown excellent CO.
operation and had reached the con-
clusion they would be able to work
the problem out"
The project began last September
when the Bo-Mar concern sold lots
in the 100-acre Fairfax tract for
81 500 each, according to Mr.. Bonn
bard. Later. he said, the idea of
entering the home construction field
developed when it was learned a
shopping center the firm was in
terested in building could not be
constructed unless houses were built
first.

Dismissal Of Indictment
lin Red Cuse Asked

Carl Aide Marzani, IS, of the 500
block of North Fillmore street, Ar
lington, Va, former State Depart
ment employe, late yesterday petit
toned District Court to dismiss an
indictment charging him with falsely
stating to Government investigators
that he was not Communist.
Marzani claimed through his at
torney, Charles e. Ford, that 8 of
the II charges are void, under the
statute Of limitations, inasmuch as
they allegedly occurred more than
three years ago.
The motion asking dismissal also
charged the facts alleged do NOT
constitute an offense against the
United States.

advanced 100000 toward the con-
struction of 81 of the homes when
work was halted last week. Nathan
iel j. Taube, vice president of the
firm, was one of the conferees in
the plan to complete the develop
ment.
Mr.. Leonard said the construction
firm had attempted to give the vet
erans excellent homes for $4,000
each. They were of stone or brick
construction, of Cape Cod design
with three bedrooms upstairs. tile
bath, automatic oil heat and other
features. Twelve of the homes are
virtually completed and foundations
have been laid for 40.
