tion which is intended to lay
the groundwork for a new rail
transit system connecting
Washington and the suburbs as
well as other commuter trans
portation Improvements.
The committee deferred until
Friday final action on pro-
visions Of a Budget Bureau bill
authorizing an agencv and
Federal financing. Senator
Bible expressed hope that the
scheduled Friday session will
wind up the committees trans
portation actions, the culmina-
tion of several years of plan
ming and legislative study.
officials at the Budget Bu-
reau said today they have been
informed of some of the pro-
posals developed in recent COM
mittee meetings. They said they
too, are hopeful that legislation
can be cleared before congress
sional adjournment.
The budget leaders said they
have not yet committed them
selves to support of changes ex-
pected to be recommended by

Bureaus bill. The bill as SUBJ
mitted would create a temper

to be succeeded later by an in
terstate compact organization
or by a Federal corporation
The corporation ideas has
drawn considerable criticism
from Maryland and Virginia
leaders.
Senator Bible declined to de-
tail the recommendations ex-
pected to be made to the Senate
and House District Committees

tious action can be taken in
the Senate unit, since as far as
he is concerned no additional
hearings will be needed.

Court Denies
Return of Car
In Drug Case

Lawrence Godfrey today lost
his court fight to regain his big
new Cadillac, which had been
taken away from him because
heroine had been found in it.
No matter that Mr.. Godfrey
didn't know the narcotics were
there, nor that another man
had slowed them under a seat
of the car when a detective ap-
preached, District Court Judge
Joseph C. McGarraghy ruled.
The courts have uniformly
held that innocence or want of
knowledge of an illegal act by
the owner of the vehicle is no
bar to forfeiture :" said the
judge.
The Federal Government
was granted a summary judg-
ment, which gives it final pos
session of the car, a $4,000
black coupe.
The judge had indicated
earlier that he considered the
law unduly harsh. But he was
bound to follow it and there
was no alternative, he said in
his opinion today.
The car was impounded last
December when a detective ar
rested a passenger and found
the hidden narcotics.
Mr.. Godfrey, 40, who runs
a delicatessen in the 1900 block
Of Fourteenth street NV, con-
tended he should get back the
1960-model car because he had
been accused of nothing more
than having parked too near
a fire hydrant.
Assistant United States At
torney William Laverick said
the ruling means the Govern
ment can use the car for its
own purposes or sell it. Mr..
Godfrey had been driving it for
only about six weeks when it
was taken from him.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Godfrey's at
torney, Curtis Mitchell. said he
expected to appeal the ruling.
He added that his client prob
ably would be bound under his
contract to continue making
payments for the car.

A spokesman for organized

transfer of Freedmen's Hospi-
tai to Howard University.
The attack on the transfer,
proposed by the Health, Edu-
cation, and Welfare Depart
ment, was labeled devastating
by Representative Green, Dem
ocrat of Oregon, at a House
Education subcommittee hear
ing. Mrs. Green said:
Unless the administration
can refute successfully points
raised today, 1 would not be
too enthusiastic about the HEW
report"
"HEW recommended construc-
ton of a $40 million hospital
to replace the obsolete facil-
tiles at Freedmen's. This new
hospital then would be given
to Howard University for use
OF the general public and as
a training center for doctors
and nurses at the university.

ing the Greater Washington
Central Labor Council, ALL

withdrawing Federal aid from

claimed.
He pointed out that Howard
depended on Federal appropria-
tions for much Of its operating
expenses. Unloading of Freed
mems may be a step toward
dwindling appropriations for
Howard, Mr.. Herling warned.
He recommended that a new

that it be maintained by the

Ground Is Broken
For Town Houses
81 Rental Units
In Southwest
Finally Begun
BY GEORGE WILSON
Star stan Writer

Without fanfare. the long,
delayed construction of 81
rental town houses in South
west Washington began today.
The 81 two-to-four- bedroom
houses will be built at Third
and G streets S.W.. Just east of
the Capitol Park Apartments.
They will rent from $3.50 to
$265 a month, according to the
developers. The project will
be completed by July. 1861.
The developers are James H.
Scheurer. Roger L. Stevens and
the HRH Construction Co., all
of New York. Mr.. Schurer and
Mr.. Stevens leased the land in
1856. They completed Capitol
Park Apartments May, 1859.
Delay Was Protested
Since then, Scheurer &
Stevens have been criticized
by the Redevelopment Land
Agency for taking so long to
get the town houses started.
This January, RIA threatened
to seek a new developer" un-
less work was Speeded on the
rest of the Area B land bounded
by Fourth, E, l and South
Capitol streets S.W.
In response to the RIA
criticism. Mr.. Scheurer said
the project has taken longer
than anyone expected" but at
tributed them to the natural
delays of pioneering problem.
Today'S groundbreaking fol-
lowed the closing yesterday of
a 81 ,554,0 900 FHA-inSured loan
for the project. B. T. Fitz-
patrick of 1925 Connecticut
avenue NV, attorney for the
redevelopment syndicate, said
this amount would pay for 90
per cent of the cost. The John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Co. made the loan. The same
firm made the $4,760,500 loan
for Capitol Park Apartments.
Ceremony Skipped
The Staples Construction Co.
of New York started construc-
tion by breaking up the pave
ment in H street between Third
and Fourth streets S.W. There
was no groundbreaking cere-
mony. The builder expects to
start digging foundations later
in the week.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said the de-
veloperS expect to start on the
remainder of the Area B project
before the rental town houses
are finished. Plans call for an

school construction program
Board Chairman Anne Wilk-

should discuss the possibility
of transferring the entire
school construction program to

Among the larger precincts

In rural Centerville district,
only one out of seven precincts

The door opened again and
in came a tall, imposing
young man in a cutaway.

announced.
He was followed by a some
what shorter man with

loose blue tie (no robe).
The Justice told the group
that in 1925 he had lived in
Pelham, a neighbor town to
New Rochelle in WeStchester
County. He was a commu-
ter. He practiced law in New
York and taught it at Colum-

This building, he said,
seemed made for SightSeers
