House Group Urged
To Allow u. ). TO Buy
Georgetown House

Acquisition of the so-called "Old
Stone House" in Georgetown for
a museum was strongly urged be-
fore the House Public Lands Com
mittee today by spokesmen for
Federal agencies and historic ano
patriotic societies.
Representatives of the present
owners, two Georgetown business
families, told the committee they
would rather not sell to the Gov
.ernment. But. if pending legisla-
ton to acquire the property be-
comes law, the owners would
rather negotiate with the Interior
Department for the sale than
present condemnation by the
courts.
The committee is considering
two similar bills, one already ap-
proved by the Senate and the
other introduced in the House by
Representative Chase Going
Woodhouse, Democrat, of Con-
necticut.
Would Authorize Purchase.
The legislation would authorize
the Secretary of the Interior to
acquire by gift or purchase the
historic structure at 3051 M street
NV. together with it's lot of
about 20,048 square feet. The old
house is said to have been used
by George Washington as head
quarters.
More than Is persons, including
many women officials of patriotic
groups, appeared at the hearing
this morning to urge passage of
the legislation. The only objec-
tions came from a spokesman for
the present owners. The commit
tee. headed by Representative
Peterson. Democrat, of Florida,
took the legislation under advise
ment.
Among agencies approving the
measure. according to testimony
were the Bureau of the Budget,
Interior Department. National
Park Service and the Office of Ma
tional Capital Parks.
Interest Is Indicated.
Most committee m e m be r S
showed sympathetic interest in
the project by their questions but
were curious about the price at
which the property may be ac-
quired.
Estimates of the recent sales
of property on M street laid be-
fore the committee ranged from
ST to $40 a square foot. Albert
E. Aren't, attorney for the present
owners-Louis Levy and Samuel
Meyer Levy, who are unrelated
was questioned about the price.

Miss Perkins Renews
Appeal for Changes in
u. 5. Rating System

Civil Service Commissioner
Frances Perkins today made a
new appeal to Congress to enact
the commissions proposals for
overhauling the Government S
efficiency rating system.
Miss Perkins appeared before
the House Civil Service Commit
tee. The committee tentatively
has rejected the commission s
recommendations and instead
substituted a bill by Chairman
Murray on efficiency ratings.
The group, however, agreed to
hear the commissions view again
today.
Sees too Many Appeals.
The Murray bill would retain
the present impartial appeal
rights of Federal employees, while
the commissions. plan would re-
strict an employe to an appeal
within his agency.
Miss Perkins declared that
there are too many appeals now."
1T throws the whole Govern
ment into mass of unnecessary
and expensive litigation" she de-
clared.
She also opposed the Murray
bills provision for three adjec-
tive rating system satisfactory
unsatisfactory and excellent"
Urges Flexibility.
She urged that the individual
agencies be given greater flexi-
bility in establishing their own
rating systems without the neces-
sity of having "a numerical or ad-
jective rating"
Miss Perkins asserted that grad
ing solely through an adjective
method was "inhuman and wrong
and a great injustice to en-
ployes."

Higher Meat Prices
Reported Here TODAY

Higher meat prices were report
ed today in many Washington
area markets. and wholesalers in
dicated more markups are in pros
pect by this week end.
Retail pork prices registered the
greatest advance, about cents a
pound. Beef, lamb and veal
climbed about 2 cents. Poultry
prices held steady, however, and
no significant change was reported
in most other commodities.
The meat advances followed a
trend also reported in many other
cities. Wholesalers here ascribed
the rise to seasonal scarcitieS.
while a brisk consumer demand
also was counted as a main factor.
One chain here which raised
meat prices last week dropped
most of them back this week to
the earlier level. A spokesman
indicated this reflected only the
chains own policies, rather than
the overall market picture.
