BY the Associated Press

| NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Mary
Pickford. once known as Amer

film.
The 58-year-old actress will
play the role of a librarian in the
film, THE Library" to be made
by Columbia Pictures.
Her return to the screen
matches in many ways the movie
comeback of another early Holly

Miss Swanson. now 50, regained
her former prominence last year
with the film Sunset Boulevard" !"
She went on to further successes
on the stage and in television.
Career Parallels Miss Swanson.
The careers of both actresses
ran almost parallel. Miss Swan
son started her film career in
1913. Miss Pickford in 1914. Miss
Swanson appeared in only two
films after 1882. Miss Pickford' s
last film, Secrets" was made in
1888.
But unlike Miss Swanson, Miss
Plckford indicated yesterday that
The Library" would not be fol-
lowed by further roles. She said
IN a statement released by Co.
lumbia Pictures that it "is the
one and only story which would
have induced me again to appear
before the cameras"
Miss Pickford refused to give
further details on the film.

The original date set for Fed

asked this be extended until May

The section of the Burke site

Mr.. Sawyer said the delay in
taking over the land will enable
these families to send their chill

other year and give them addi-
tional time to make plans for re-
location elsewhere.
The Commerce Secretary, how

preciated if you would take ap-
propriate action to have the pro-
