President Given
Slate for N lew
McGroth Hopes for
Naming Of ID by
End Of Congress

Attorney General McGrath
today submitted a slate to Presi-
dent Truman for appointment to
the six new judgeships here, he
said after a White House confer
ence.
The Attorney General, William
M. Boyle, Democratic National
chairman, and Donald Dawson.
who handles personnel matters
for the White House, were with
the President for some time 60
ing over the matter of appoint
ments here and in Districts where
Congress has provided additional
judgeships.
Three appointments are to be
made to the Court of Appeals
here and three to District Court.
Elsewhere, there are IA Federal
judges and two for the appeals
court to be named. In addi-
tion to these new judgeships there
are several more court vacancies
owing to deaths and retirements.
Five Named Earlier.
Earlier, the President named
four new Federal judges and one
for the appellate bench.
Mr.. McGrath said that as the
President now has the views Of
himself and Mr.. Boyle it is up to
him to decide where the choices
will fall.
Mr.. McGrath said that some
OF the vacancies might call for
further discussion. When asked if
that applied to prospective ap-
pointments, he responded:
Il don't want to be specific, but
I hope we are through with
them"
A number of names have besn
suggested in connection with the
vacancies here. But the Attorney
General declined to comment on
any individuals being considered.
Hopes for Speedy Action.

that because of the pay situation
the President will send up as
many nominations as possible be-
fore Congress goes home.
II the Senate fails to act on the
names when they are submitted,
the candidates can have recess
appointments and draw their
salary. If, however, the President
waits until Congress quits and
then makes recess appointments
these appointed would not be eligi-
BILE to draw pay until the Senate
has acted on their appointments.

The Senator died a few days
ago.
Mr.. Miller, it was said at tho
late Senator's Office, has been q
resident of Washington for the
last IL years and has been on his
brothers staff since Senator

Cleveland Park in AN-Out Drive
For Twin Oaks Estate Play Area

In Cleveland Park, an all-out
drive is under way to get five
acres Of the old Twin Oaks estate
as a recreation center for the
youngsters of the area.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is for the
project. So is the District Rec
reatlon Board.
But it's the residents of the
community who are sparkling the
move as they have in years. past
and this time they're determined
to win.
Among them are doctors
lawyers, housewives, ministers
teachers, businessmen. All OF
them visualize turning those five
acres into a place where their
children can play football and
softball, tennis and games safe
from the traffic heavy streets.
1,500 Children in Area.
They argue that $500 children
are numbered among the 10000
residents of the area. And these
children have no playground
large enough to play ball. The
only playground now in the area
is smaller than an acre. Located
at Thirty-fourth and Macomt
streets NV, the sole playground
has been described as q hand
kerchief on a hillside"
The coveted five acres now are
owned by the Chinese Embassy
which bought the 18-acre estate
at 1925 Woodley road NV. from
Mrs. Grace Hubbard Bell, siste,
of the late Mrs. Alexander Graham
Bell, in 1947. The tract lies jus1
across the street from the Johr
Eaton School.
The idea of converting part o1
the historic estate into a recrea.
ton center is not new one. Al
far back as 1880, the planning
commission put the area on then
recreation map for the District.
In 1916, the planning commits
sion tried to include a budget re-
quest for purchase of the land un.
der Capper- -Cramton Act funds
BY this method. the Federal Gov
ernment would lay out the money
and the District would pay it back
over a period Of years without in
terest.
The Commissioners, however
recommended against the pur-
chase. presumably because the
District government was short
Of funds and the Commissioners
did not want to take any more
taxable land out of circulation.
Failed Again in 1948.
The planning commission tried
again in 1948. Again it was un.
successful.
Meanwhile, two things have
happened. The Chinese Embassy
purchase of the land took it ou,
of taxation, since Embassy prop
erty is tax-exempt, and the Dis
trict got itself a revenue-raisine
sales tax.
That's why the Cleveland Park
residents are more hopeful than
they ever have been before.
To start the ball rolling, the
planning commission again has
requested purchase of the tract
AS In previous years, the Budget
Bureau sent the request to the
District Commissioners for thei,
approval or disapproval.
To plead for favorable action

Under the program, the asso-
citation will pick up samples of

tions are being contacted.
