One of DR.. Kings associates,
the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy,

U. S. to Study Adequacy
OfHoIf Hour for Lunch

The Bureau said the lunch
periods were brought to its at
tention by a General Services
Administration proposal in
June to raise them to As min
utes. The GSA plan was made
in connection with a recon-
mendation to re-Stagger the
hours of Government en-
ployes.
AS a result of the GSA pro-
posal, agency heads were polled
and asked what they thought
about a lunch-hour extension.
Most Of the agencies reported
they would prefer to keep the
present half-hour. Some asked
for Is minutes more.
A bureau spokesman said
that if its ordered review con-
firms GSA's contention that a
half-hour eating time is not
sufficient, this would have a
definite effect on the rest of
the GSA report"
GSA wanted to extend the
working day of some 225, 900
Federal employees in the area
to accommodate extra eating
time and to ease traffic con-
gestion during morning and
evening ruSh-hour traffic.

Mr.. Belisle was not sent on

acknowledged he was informed

said, in response to a question,

Reilly's resignation Mr.. Belisle

In the papers, Mr.. Gibson
said the Governments action

there are many other proper
ties similarly located along the
Potomac River in Fairfax
County on which no declera-
tons of taking have been filed.
The counter claim to the
Governments action termed
the eight restrictions on devel-
opment contained in an order
of possession signed by United
States District Judge Oren r.
Lewis Saturday as "unconstitu-
tional and void" as 1t amounted
to a taking of the property
without just compensation.
COunterclaim
In addition, Mr.. Gibson con-
tended that the Merrywood
property is not adjacent to the
George Washington Memorial
parkway or to any federally
owned land. Therefore, he con-
tinued, the declaration of
taking filed by the Justice
Department Friday is illegal,
unconstitutional, improper and
void"
The counterclaim was filed

He testified that Defense

Mr.. Gilpatric's part in the
decision on the contract, the

he said, whether any conflicts
of interests or any undue in
