Mrs. Frank A. Nickols, also q

In addition to schools and rec

possibilities Of indignation in the
city,s IRE and police departments,
public welfare. penal i1stitu-
lions, supervisory jobs in Dis
trict government and public
utilities and in restaurants.
The discussion was based on
what the District Commissioners
could do If they wished to i'm
plement that part of President
Eisenhower's State Of the Union
message favoring the end OF
segregation in the District.
However, the Commissioners
can't act without the support Of
public opinion and Congress. Mrs

said the Commissioners "art
cautious and reluctant to an

the Districts pursestrings." With

Addresses
Press Group
By Fr0nceS Iide

The justification for Russia's
continued membership in the
United NationS-eSpecially after
Andrei VishinSky's admission
that the Soviet is selling. arms
to Communist China-was ques-
toned yesterday by Senator
Knowland, Republican. Of Cali
fornia.
II think we have come to the
tumping-on place. particularly
after Vishinsky's speech yester-
day" the Senator told the
Women's National Press Club at
q luncheon at the Congressional
Hotel.
Until the Soviet Foreign Min
ister's speech at Mondays ses-
sion Of the Donation u. N. Po-
Eitical Committee. there had
been no ofdcial admission by
Russia that it was supplying
weapons to Communist China,
he pointed out.
Asked what the effect would
be If Russia walked out Of the
United Nations, he said theoret-
ically it was better to have the
Soviets represented.
But If zone nation is going
to continue to sabotage" peace
efforts, he said. the United Ma
lions might be more effective
without the Soviet Union and its
satellites.
Senator Knowland also said
he thought that cutting OF trade
with Communist China should
be given high priority, despite
the obvious problems involved
In such q move.
Z The best course, he suggested,
would be for the United Nations
to voluntarily join In an embargo
or q blockade. But If they don't
recognize their responsibility"
he continued, II don't see how
we can sit back and say we'll
do nothing to stop the fiow of
materials that are beneficial to
the aggreSsor."
/ The Senator conceded that it
is substantially true that, so far
as the free nations are con-
eerned, the flow of goods into
Communist China no longer in
cludes ornaments.
However, the many articles
going in do include such items
as trucks, gasoline. scrap iron,
Photographic equipment, motor
car parts, radio transmitters,
generators and rubber, he said.
II don't think that any one
would deny that this type Of ma
terial is valuable, not only to
the civilian economy. but to the
military economy as WELL" he
added.
The importance Of perSuading
more nations to contribute to
the u. N. effort in Korea also
was stressed by the speaker who
said the method of procedure
should be through diplomatic
channels. II don't want ID zee,

Donohue Still on Fence
AS 10 When He'll Resiun

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue still hasn't decided when
specifically, he will hand in his
resignation to President-elect
Eisenhower.
| On his weekly radio broadcast
over Station WWDC, Mr.. Dono-
hue would come no closer than
saying it will be a "short time
after Inauguration day."
He said he hopes to pay the
President a personal call. But if
the new Chief Executives sched-
ule is filled, I'll just write him
a letter." the Truman-appointed
Democrat explained.
The Commissioner lodged the
question of whether he would
stay On in the job if President
Eisenhower asked him. Many of
the hundreds of Mr.. Donohue'S S
supporters who have written ask
ing him to remain, and expressed
an intention of calling on the
new President to share their
views.
Mr.. Donohue once again voiced
his personal admiration for the
performance of firemen and
others in handling the train
wreck and store explosion last
Thursday-"Black Thursday" as
he called it.
He said he will redouble efforts
to try to get fire and police pay

CamaIier Asks Shift
OF 81 TB Patients
From GaIIinger

Commissioner Renah F. Cam
alier has instructed health Of
ficials to take immediate steps
to remove 81 tuberculosis pa
tients from medical wards OF
Gallinger Hospital.
The directive was issued after
a number of conferences with
Health Director Daniel L. Seek
niger on the city'S critical tuber-
culous bed shortage. The short
ages have forced use of some
of Gallinger's medical service
wards. where inadequate facil-
tiles exist for the care of tuber-
culoSiS
DR.. Seckinger said clearance
of the medical wards would have
to be a gradual process. 1t is
hoped that the Glenn Dale San
itorium, already within three pa
tients of it's $50 capacity, can
arrange to take some, he said.
Others may be handled under a
home-care program.
Annex Is Possibility.
Another possibility is estab-
liShment of a tuberculosis annex
in the West Building of GAL
linger's Psychiatric Department.
Mr.. Camalier said he thought
funds might be found to set up
such unit of about so beds.
The Commissioner said Con-
gress also would be asked for
$97 900 to set up a temporary
400-bed unit at Glenn Dale.
This would function until perma-
nent expansion of Glenn Dale
comes about.
Gallinger has separate facil-
tiles for 220 active tuberculosis
patients. but DR.. Seckinger said
that a service already is over
crowded by 40 patients.
The only permanent solution
we can see is more BEDS" DR..
Secklnger declared. "Anythlng
else we do amounts to make
shift moves"
IT'S Awaiting Beds.
DR.. Vernon M.'Padgett, director
of the tuberculosis Bureau. of
the Health Department, said
that with the evacuation of the
81 patients from Gallinger, the
care of tuberculosis patients in
the District is becoming increas-
ingly a big problem. He said
there are now about ITS TB pa
tientS who are awaiting hospital
beds and of these % are emer-
gency cases.
He said it probably would be
two months before additional pa
tients could be accommodated at
Glenn Dale.

|SibIey Hospital Sketch Shown
As Answer to Objections

close to Nebraska avenue, the
architect said, the logical main
route to the hospital would be
along that big thoroughfare. A
complication, he conceded, would
be the matter of making turns
on and off Nebraska at Rock
wood. But he said this problem
can be worked out satisfactorily.
National Screening Planned.
Mr.. Justement made a special
point of plans to cultivate
natural screening between homes
and hospital. He said the hos
pital expects to make every effort
to preserve the many existing
trees, and to plant tall and thick
shrubs, especially around the
service entrances. The unWooded
sections of the grounds facing
west and south would be con-
verted to lawns. From Rock
wood parkway, to the south, no
parking areas or "unattractive
adjuncts" would be visible, he
said.
Mr.. Justement added, more
over. that the area hanking Uni
versity avenue would be no less
than 80 feet from curb to hos
pital. The average distance be-
tween the hospital and the south
lot line of the property would
be 110 feet, he added.
There would be two buildings
in the project-the hospital
proper and the nurses home to
the north. Both would be seven
stories high, from the main en-
trance level.

Rosenberg Picketers
Halt CIemency March

Picketers for and against inn
position of the death penalty
on atom spies Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg called off their activ-
tiles yesterday, police said.
A spokesman for those seeking
clemency for the pair said the
"a = hour : a day demonstration
was called off out of respect
for the Inauguration of the new
President"
All appeals for the couple so
far have failed.
Attorney General McGranery
told White House reporters he
doubted Justice Department rec
concentrations in the case would
reach the Executive Mansion
before the change of adminis-
tration on Tuesday.
A handful of counter pickets
dropped their vigil across the
street from the White House
when the pro-Rosenberg pickets
withdrew.

5y John w. Stepp

The public has had it's first
look at plans for the proposed
new 250-bed Sibley Hospital
Building on the American Uni
versity campus.
Hospital and university au-
thorities and their supporters
naturally are pleased with the
prospect. Their antagonists, the
residents of neighboring Spring
Valley and Wesley Heights,
where homes rank among the
city's costliest, still appear unim-
pressed.
Their position remains that no
matter how fine the hospitals
lines, it still will be a hospital.
And that means, they fear,
added traffic, danger to children
and property devaluation.
Zoning Decision Wednesday.
The extended coming commits
sion hearing came to a conclu-
sion last Friday. The commits
sion will hold an executive ses-
sion on the question Wednesday
to decide whether to grant the
citizens petition for restricting
the residential zoning of the
university campus to bar the
proposed construction.
At the Friday session, witnesses
for the two Methodist institu-
tions sought to allay some of the
principal fears: traffic and park
ing complications and close prox-
unity of the hospital to homes.
Louis Justement. architect for
the project, served as chief
spokesman. These were the de-
tails he spelled out:
In the first place, Mr.. Juste-
ment averred, the home owners
wouldn't have the problem of
ambulances and such rolling
down their Streets-a brand-new
roadway would be cut across the
university campus to the hospi-
tai. The residents are afraid
that since the proposed building
would front on University ave-
nue. between lockwood parkway
and Glenbrook road, hospital en-
trance roads would branch out
OF University avenue.
Entrance Near lockwood.
The new entrance road. Mr..
JuStement explained. would be
located at the east end of Rock
wood parkway. few feet from
Nebraska avenue. It would curve
across the south portion of the
campus to small system of
turn-arounds in the seven-acre
hospital area proper.
One of these roads would loop
around in front of the hospital
main entrance. A south branch
of that would lead to a parking
lot for hospital staff members.
To the north a roadway would
curve through the main parking
area around to a two-level ac-
cess to the ambulance and serv-
ice entrances on the University
avenue side of the building.
These parking spaces are ex-
pected to accommodate about
200 automobiles. a capacity, Mr..
Justement believes. ample for
the expected peak parking load
at proposed Sibley.

he added.
Buyer is q Mystery.

the historic parchment would be
sold, but said it would be a

section of the country. The man.

tionally known institution of
higher learning available to the
public in general and to scholars
in particular" he said.
The manuscript is Scared and
weatherbeaten, and has been
dated in the 5th century by Bible
scholars. It is written in Aramaic,
the language Of Christ, on doe
skin.
Among authorities who have
examined it are DR.. John Shap-
ley, professor of art and arch
eology at Catholic University. He
said he had seen the manuscript
and believed it dated from the
5th century. He added that it
was quite possible" it could be
sold for sum in seven figures.
The Associated Press quoted
DR.. William Hatch of Episcopal
Theological Seminary at Cam
bridge. Mass, as saying he re-
called examining the manuscript
about 20 years ago. He said that
so far as he could remember,

The AP also quoted DR.. William
F. Albright, a former professor
of Semitic Languages at Johns
Hopkins University in Baltimore
and a, leading authority on old
manuscripts, as saying eff the
story is true, that is the oldest
New Testament in existence"
Mr.. Yonan reported that dur
ing its years Of travel, 10 pages
of the original manuscript were
lost and replaced in 730 AID,
according to an inscription by a
scribe who signed his name.
He said the manuscript re-
manned in the hands of his fam
lily until shortly after the first
World War, when it was lost
for a time. It was recovered
in 1882.
1t was after a law passed early
in President Franklin Roosevelt's
administration declaring persons
must make known the contents
of their safety deposit boxes
that Mr.. Yonan made the manu-
script available to scholars and
discovered it's value.
Mr.. Yonan will explain its
history this afternoon in a talk
at Grace Covenant Presbyterian
Church in Richmond. the Yo-
mans family church. It will be
the first public showing.
Mr.. Yonan formerly operated

Senator Case 10 Push
Plan for District
By Don S. Warren

Chairman Case of the re-
vamped Senate District Com
mittee said last night he would
proceed promptly with his plan
/ for enlargement of the Board of
Commissioners from three to
five members, probably with one
amendment.
The change would be to assure
that the appointed board be
bipartisan, under a stipulation
that not all of it's members
| could be of the same political
party.
He now is drafting a separate
bill on the size of the board and
! plans to offer it in the Senate
before the end of this week. One
of his objectives. he has ex-
planned to President-elect
Eisenhower, is to enhance the
chance for the appointment to
the board OF a Negro and a
woman.
This bill would be followed
shortly by another in his seven
point legislative program calling
for an elected form of city gov
ernment. This would be Substan-
TALLY the same home rule bill
the Senate passed a year ago,
only to see it die on the vine in
the House District Committee.
Enthusiasm Lacking on Hill.
So far. the first-step plan for
expanding the Board of Commits
sioners, has failed to stir any
great enthusiasm on Capitol Hill.
There is more support for trying
again for enactment of the home
rule bill. For instance, Senator
Kefauver, Democrat. of Tennes-
see, one of the sponsors of last
years city suffrage bill, said he
wanted to join Senator Case in
sponsoring the home rule meas
ure this year.
Others are expected to CO.
sponsor this bill. Last year there
were % official sponsors. Major
ity Leader Taft may back the
bill for he recently told reporters
that his opinion always had been
that the way to settle questions
of segregation in the Naional
Capital was through home rule
government so that the people
could determine the problems
themselves, through elected city
officials.
The situation is different as to
the Case plan for expanding the
Board of Commissioners.
Representative Auchincloss,
Republican, of New Jersey, the
father" of the first Washing
ton home rule bill brought up
for action in the House, where
it died in the 80th Congress,
yesterday suggested some major
changes in the Case bill.
Backs Vote for District.
He said the Case plan had
certain amount of merit" but
that he thought the proposed ex-
ira two commissioners should be
elected rather than appointed.
"As the father of Washington
home rule legislation" he said,
Il am still interested in getting
a vote for the District"
