WASHINGTON — The Navy
•building press room is one of the
busiest spots in the capital these
days and not because of the news
that flows in.
There’s a news ticker machine
there and, from starting time to
curfew, eager watchers follow its
hammering type fingers, to learn
of the latest devolpments in the
Allied Nazi battles.

The Thomas Jefferson memor
ial is in trougle again. The mem
orial commission, looking over a
hundred designs for the statue of
Jefferson, turned up their noses
at all of them, but finally said
the model submitted by Lee
Lawrie, New York sculptor,
which “on first glance is disap
pointing because of the inade
quacy of the likeness and of the
detailed forms in the legs and
hands, and the extreme emacia
tion of the figure”—undoubtedly
would be all right when these
points were developed.
With this doubtful enthusiasm,
although they said compliment
ary things about the possibilities
of Mr. Lawrie’s completed stat
ue when it is set up in the Mem
orial in the Tidal Basin, the com
mission recommended Mr. Law
rie’s design, awarded funds for
an additional “revised sketch mo
del.”
From its inception the Jeffer
son Memorial has been bumping
into difficulties. The original pro
posal to place it in the Tidal Ba
sin, which is flanked by the Lin
coln Memorial and the Washing
ton monument, brought a storm
of protest, w'hich claims that it
would spoil the beauty of the
•basin and destroy the famous
cherry trees.
The White House was picketed
by women, bearing placards with
such designs as: “Oh Congress,
Spare that Tree,” and “Hasten,
hasten, spare the Basin.” White
House police compared it to the
wars of the suffragettes. One in
j dignant lady chained herself to
J a tree. A group, equally indig
nant, had a better idea—it chain
ed one of the workmen to a tree.
Not until the President assured
the ladies that not only would all
the trees be spared, but nearly a j
thousand more would be planted, j
did the furore die down. Even
then, the fight over the memorial
site continued in Congress until
after the cornerstone was laid.
It is expected now that the
$60,000 bronze statue will be
ready to dedicate in the $3,000,000
marble shrine in time for the bi-1
centennial of Jefferson’s birth
April 13, 1943—that is, barring
more trouble.

destination—that is of course, un
Jess some other Senator has got
ten the elevator first. It’s the
same with the subway from the
capitol to the Senate office build
ing. If you are halfway over and
a Senator rings three from the
rear, back you go. This theory
that a Senator’s time is more val
uable than any one else’s is prac
ticed only in the capitol how
ever. In the buildings downtown
three rings only get a Senator a
dirty look—just as in the case of
any ordinary mortal.

than enough to take care of next
year’s parity payments to the
farmers.

tory and called it Germany, as in
the cases of Austria and parts
of Poland, would color changes
be necessary.)
