ton OF congress In providing for col.
lection OF statues was to AFFORD an op-
portunity to honor men who had been
distinguished in the legislative branch

ward V. Valentine, the artist who
made the recumbent statue of Lee
upon his tomb at Lexington, to secure
design for a statue of heroic size.
While it may not be said that con
gress will reject statue of General
without sensational debate. particu-
larly because of the motives of those
who are at the head of the movement,
