when pretrial dispositions in prep
aration for the court contest were
suddenly postponed.
Then, on Wednesday, a weeks
postponement of the trial was
sought by mutual agreement and
granted by the court.
At pm. yesterday, William A.
Roberts, counsel for Mrs. Gizycka,
suddenly summoned newsmen to
his Office. He showed them this
statement:
Counsel for Mrs. Felicia Gizycka
and counsel for the executors in
! the contest Of the will of the late
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson announce
that full agreement has been
reached between them in COM
promise and settlement of the is
sues with respect to the will and
that at the convenience of the

The joint statement was signed
by Mr.. Roberts, Harold A. Kertz,
Randolph E. Paul and Lloyd K.
Garrison, for Mrs. Gizycka, and
Louis G. Caldwell, Roy B. Kelly
and G. Bruce Brooks for the execu-
tors.
Mrs. Gizycka was in Mr.. Roberts
Office at the time but her presence
was not made known to reporters
then. Mr. Roberts said she was
here for the settlement negotiations,
did not take an active part but
kept fully informed. She re-
turned to her New York home last
night
While not discussing the terms

ing is increasing, deaths continu-
ing, losses to cattle are mounting

The $500,C00 allotment authorized
yesterday brought to 100000 in
Federal aid for relief operations.
Gen. Fleming said in Miami, Fla,
where he will address an AFL meet
ing Monday, an additional $250,0OO
in Federal funds had been allocated
to the States digging out of the
blizzards. He said an additional
$65,000 each would go to South
Dakota and Nebraska and $4,000
each to Nevada, Utah and Wyo-
ming. He said he told Mr.. Truman
$1,000,000 was needed for the rescue
work.

The funds are being used to open
highways and roads so food sup
plies and water can be delivered to
stranded cattle, as we'll as to snow
bound ranchers. Gen. Fleming is
to leave Monday night for tour of
the stricken area. He said new re-
ports of emergencies came from
Montana and Arizona and he said
he might make allocations to those
States later.
Gov. Peterson said that a Congress
sional appropriation of between ST.
000,0 900 and 100000 was needed to
relieve the desperate conditions in
Nebraska, Wyoming and South Da-
kota. About 135 bulldozers already
have been assigned to the Nebraska
blizzard area and more from the 5th
Army were on the way. But the
new snow blockade halted the relief
work.
The mercury plunged between 20
and 80 degrees below zero in parts
Of the Dakotas and Minnesota to-
day. Subzero marks were general
over Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Wis
consin and Northern Illinois and
portions of Utah and Nevada,
Ohio Out Of Banks.
Temperatures were mild in the
Central and Eastern Gulf States
and comparatively mild in the
Eastern and New England States.
The Ohio River was out of its
banks at Cincinnati and was near
ing flood crests at points from Par
kersburg, w. Va. to Florence, Ind.
The 52-foot food stage was passed
at Cincinnati yesterday. A halt in
steady rains and colder weather
helped to relieve threats of a serious
flood.
Colder weather also eased the
flood conditions in Southern Illi-
nois, but the below-freezing tenn
peratures brought discomfort to the
hundreds of lowland dwellers who
had been forced to seek temporary
shelter. The lowest temperatures
of the winter season hit many Illi-
nois cities. Chicago had its coolest
day as the mercury dropped to zero.
1t was 8 below at Rockford, and
readings of 4 above were reported
in the flood area.

II from debating any subject and
veto or ignore anything it did. One
OF Britain's arguments against Gre
ating an Assembly was that Com
munist Assemblymen might disclose
defense secrets.
Each member government will
have its own say as to how its repre-
sentatives to the consultative body"
will be chosen. The British govern
ment thus may choose all Britains
representatives and instruct them to
vote in national bloc France NAV
elect its representatives from several
parties and let them vote as they
please.
The assembly, as this body Is
likely to be called officially, prob
ably will follow the simple ma jority
rule in voting.
There was no indication when the
new setup might get rolling. OBJ
servers did not expect the min
iSterial council to meet until after
the foreign ministers get a report
from the permanent commission,
probably at its April meeting.
France and Belgium, with Dutch
and Luxembourg backing, had
pressed for European assembly of
representatives chosen by the re-
spective national legislatures.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
had been loath to consent to an
assembly. He feared it would do
nothing but talk. Britain proposed
European Council of Minister'S"
The final agreement represents
compromise. .
Meanwhile, Premiers, Foreign
Ministers and Defense Ministers of
Sweden, Norway and Denmark met
again today in Oslo, Norway, to talk
over proposed Scandinavian de-
tense bloc. Indications were they
would reach no agreement because
Of SWeden's insistence that the pact
not be tied up in any way with the

Church Seeks 10 End
Separation From State

Two Washington Catholic leaders
today denied charges by Methodist
Bishop G. Bromley Oman Of New
York that the Catholic church here
was trying to break down the tradi.
tional American principle of sep
aration OF church and state.
Bishop Oman in q speech al
Constitution Hall Thursday night
asserted efforts by the Catholic
hierarchy to obtain Federal funds
for support of parocnial schools
throughout the Nation was an en-
tering wedge in the battle to elm
mate the wall separating church
and state In the United States.
The Very Rev. Msgr. John s
Spence, director Of education in the
Catholic Archdiocese of Washing
ton, declared the charge was false
and claimed there was no founda-
ton for the view that the Catholic
Church was opposed to our system
Of public education"
Spence Denies Attack.
"No attack whatever has been
launched on this constitutional
principle" Msgr. Spence said in q
statement. "We are not assaulting
any constitutional principle when
we ask that public and parochial
school children of all denominations
be included in Government-initia
public welfare programs.
"Catholic educators and Catholic
parents know that the public schools
have necessary place in American
life" the statement said. Catholic
taxpayers are supporting public
schools. Here in the District of Co.
lumbia, as elsewhere, Catholic
schools have good record Of friend
ly cooperation with public schools.
We do not want to see this spirit OF
partnership endangered BY outside

Of public money to be drained out
of the public treasury to support
parochial schools" Msgr. Spence
stated. This is nonsense. The vast
sums to be spent for bus rides and
health services for parochial school
pupils would amount to not more
than one per cent of the total money
spent every year for public schools -
Collins Makes Statement.
William H. Collins, attorney here
and president Of the Charles Carroll
Forum, said, Il am convinced, with
my fellow Catholics, that I am seek
ing only justice" when I appeal for
funds for parochial schools.
"As a Catholic and lawyer, I know
my faith. I know the law, and ]
know my rights. And, again, as a
Catholic, I know that my church
has no desire to change the tradi-
tional relationships existing between
church and state in this country, u

800 Dwellings Begun
Here in December;
19,080 Total in '48

The Bureau Of Labor Statistics
said today that Washington home
builders started 300 new permanent
dwelling units in the Washington
area in December, bringing the
number started for 1948 up to 5000
or only per cent less than the
postwar record set In 1947.
In an article in The Stars real
estate section on December 81, H. E.
Riley, chief of the agency's con-
struction statistics branch, fore
cast that houses begun in 194s
would be 'only few hundred less
than in the previous year. Figures
released today bear out that pre-
diction
But, according to BIS, the num-
ber of houses started in December
stood at the lowest monthly level
in almost two years.
Shift to Apartment Buildings.
Almost $4,000 new homes and
apartments were put under con-
struction in this area, however, dur
ing the three full years since the
end Of the war, the agency said.
The three-year period was marked
by a pronounced shift from con-
struction of one-family houses to
apartment buildings as a result of
the FILA program which helps f.
nance large-scale apartment pro-
jects.
In 1916, one-family houses &C
counted for II per cent of all units
started, compared with ST per cent
in l947 and As per cent in 1948.
Drop Toward End of Year.
In 1916 only $500 apartment units
were started, against $500 in 1947
and 10000 last year.
Washington area home construc-
ton followed the national trend In
the early part of 1946. reaching a
peak in May. In the latter part o1
the year a sharp drop was noted.
More than four-fifths of the
building was in suburban sections.
Gains in volume over the three.
year period were accompanied by
sharp rises in construction costs.

more insistently' against the al
legged attempt to wreck the U. N.
One point observed by diplomats
was that the white paper laid the
basis for citation of the United
States and Britain before the United
Nations on charges of violating the
Charter. The paper fatty asserts
that the North Atlantic pact would
be violation of the Charter.
There was nothing in the docu-
ment, however, saying that the
iU. S. S. r. intended to bring the
matter to the attention of the Sc
curity Council.
Angl0-U. S. Lead Cited.
Moscow complained that the
Western Union was nothing but a
"military-political complement to
the economic grouping of European
Countries which was created to
carry out the Marshall Plan" The
statement said both groupings re-
ceived direction from the British
American bloc.
1t also dealt with such regional
agreements and projects as the
Western Hemisphere Defense Pact,
the proposed Mediterranean Pact
and the Southeast Asia conference
on Indonesia held recently in India.
Russia herself heads two
groupings. One is the COMM
form, political grouping of the
Communist Information Bureau
to coordinate the activities of
Communist parties. Overlapping
this is the recently announced
Economic Council of Mutual Aid.
This group purports to be open to
states outside the Eastern Euro
pean bloc. 1t is Russian answer
to the Marshall Plan, which itself
had been open to nations of East
ern Europe. Moscow simply for
bade the Eastern nations of ,
Europe to have anything to do
with the American-sponsored pro-
gram of European recovery
By-Passing of u. N. Charged.
The Soviet statement contained
these additional statements:
Russia must see to it that the
United Nations is not "by-passed as
so often happens" and the United
Nations must make its authority re-
spected, especially when there is q
question of who is conducting an
aggressive policy.
Britain and France have broken
with the peace-loving policy and
taken the road of preparing a new
aggression in Europe" by forming
the European Union with the OBJ
ject of using Western powers
against those states which were
their allies during the Second
World War"
This policy is very menacing for
the peace-loving peoples"
The real aims of the Brussels
Pact and the Western European
Union have nothing in common
with the interests of defense of
these states"
The Soviet statement said Anglo
American leaders also were seeking
to dominate the Far East by Gre
ating more and more separate
groupings of states"
