Senator Nixon, Republican, OF
California, today tossed the first
name into the renewed "five-per-
center inquiry by demanding to
know whether the Joseph Major
who figured in the "infuence-ped-
ding" hearings of two years ago
was the same as the one whose
name recently cropped up in the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. in

Senator Nixon made it clear
that that if it's the same man
and he thinks it is-he should be
fired from his General Services
Administration job as a second
offender The name of Major
came into the new inquiry on in

Services Administrator Jess Lar

Ex-senator Vandenberg was re.

his battle for life.
The Senator's physician said his
condition continues to become
more serious"
The 66-year-old Republican
foreign policy leader has failed to
rally from a serious relapse he
suffered February 26.
His family said last night there
had been no change in his condi-
ton. Earlier in the day his per-
sonal physician, DR.. A. B. Smith,
said unless a favorable change
occurs soon, his prognosis must
be considered grave"
Senator Vandenberg had half
of his left lung removed in an
operation in october of 1949. He
had another operation last sum-
mer for removal of tumors from
MS spinal column.
The strong -willed Seantor has
been making a determined effort
to regain his health. Before he
suffered his latest relapse, he had
expressed hope of returning to
Washington soon to take part in
foreign policy debates. He was
considered the chief congressional
exponent of a bipartisan foreign
policy.

Two properties at the northeast
corner of Connecticut avenue and
K street NV. will be razed, be-
ginning this week, to make way
for a History Office building for
which approval has been requested

thority.
This was announced today by
Morris GeWirZ, attorney who

he is a member, which purchased
the two properties about -four
months ago.
Preliminary plans have been
drawn up and a tentative arrange
ment has been made with the
Ajax Construction Co., headed by
Arthur Hamburger, to handle the
construction in case NPA approval
is obtained.
Traded for Garage Building.
One property, at 1705 K street,
was owned for some years by the
Joseph H. Hines Co., owner of the
Transportation Building. On De-
cember 4, it was transferred to the
Basiliko Investment Co., in trade
for garage building rented to
the Government at 1925 Twenty

day transferred to a sydicate con-
sisting of Albert Small, Mr.. &C.
wirz, Charles Rose, Marshal B.
Coyne and others. Messrs. Rose
and Coyne are members of the
Ajax Construction Co.
The other property, at 1908 K
street, was likewise sold in Decem-
ber by three grandchildren of the
late Charles C. Glover, first presi-
dent of the Riggs National Bank.
The buyers were members of the
syndicate consisting of Messrs.
Small, Rose, Gewirz and Coyne.
The Glover heirs who transferred
the property were Charles C.

ton and Lady Hoyer- -Millar.
