4 Convenient Location
4 Distinguished ADDRESS
Another GaWler
Tradition

1855 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, the his
toric address of the century-old funeral es-
Enlistment Of Joseph Gawlers Sons, is q
location in keeping with the finest traditions
Of Gawler service to Washington families.
Throughout the generations, the descendants
Of Joseph Gawler have elected to remain in
that part Of the city most closely associated
with the history and traditions of Washington.
Not only is the location most convenient, with
room for courtesy parking directly across
the street . but 1t is, at the same time, re-
assuring to those paying final tribute. Here,
within few blocks Of the nations timeless
shrines and memorials, along the tree-shaded
expanse Of Pennsylvania Avenue, exists an
atmosphere Of permanence and closeness to
the past that is both reverent and reassuring.
In time of need, 1t is our hope that you will
remember the convenient location and the dis
tnguished address of Joseph Gawler's Sons
historic funeral home.

EXPLAIN LATENESS

been getting to work on time.
A 1.000-man riot erupted

Earlier this week, 1000

Is Goal
For Farm Bill
But Senute Hos Lot
Of Work to Do
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

The Senate today took a
breather from the long drawn
out farm bill debate, with the
hope-somewhat dim-that the
windup would come when work
is resumed Monday.
About 60 amendments of more
than 100 offered-still are to be
disposed of. and while seemingly
there is little of controversy still
hanging fire, all are drawing
their quota of discussion.
Senator Thye, Republican of
Minnesota, suggested mildly yes
terday afternoon that the Sen
ate has amended all the good
we can into this bill, land that
superfluity of additions is be
ginning to look like extra shafts
on a cart"
Late Session Sought
AS the Senate adjourned last
night to come back at II am.
Monday, Senator Ellender, Dem
Iocrat of Louisiana, in charge of
the bill asked that the Senate
be held in session Monday night
until the bill is cleared for the
House.
That was the way he did when
the measure was in the Agricul-
ture Committee, which he heads,
the Louisianan amplif1ed.
Senator Johnson, Democrat of
Texas, majority leader disagreed
however, asserting that Il am
not going to ask men to come in
and stay until midnight or l
O'Clock"
Senator johnson said that the
Senate had put in A or As hours
on the bill this past week, and
that, he added, was a reasonable
amount of time.
Earlier, the Texan had tried
