UNDERWOOD BACK
 FROM NEW ENGLAND

Washington, August 1.--(Special) )-Sena-
 tor Underwood has returned to Washing
 ton after a visit to Massachusetts, where
 he was made aware of the plans or
 New England fittingly to celebrate next year the 3o0th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims.
 Senator Underwood is a member of the committee of Congress which will assist in the preparation of the plans. ''The object of the preparations, said Senator Underwood, lis to eliminate from the environ of Plymouth Rock all wharts and dockage facilities and other evidence of commercialism. to make the scene or the rock, the old fort the church and
 grave yard. a nark or reservation. The plans also contemplate the dredging or the sound.
 "The date of the anniversary falls in
 December. The weather will be too cold to permit of extensive celebration in the open It is the plan of the promoters of the celebration to have all descendants of the Pilgrims to gather at the rock the following summer. There would then be
 reunion with appropriate programmes and ceremonies.
 q am confident that Congress will aid Massachusetts in it's plans"

piece of very high-grade steel, 700 pounds in weight and valued at Sl600.
 Perhaps he will put it under a glass and thus preserve it for all ages to come. At any rate, he is encountering difficulties in getting the government to take it off his hands.
 During an absence from Montgomery of Mr Tullis, his firm ordered for the governments use at Taylor field, the aviation field, this block of steel along with much other. When the steel ar rived MT. Tullis concluded that a mis- take had been made, that the govern ment did not need the steel in question. Officers agreed with him, and asked him to see if the Pittsburg firm would not that the firm would do so.
 In the meantime the bill came and MT. Tunis paid it. It then developed that the Pittsburg firm would not take it back. And, during this procedure, changes in the officer personnel at Taylor field had regularly occurred In the long run all officers aware of the hole into which Mr Tullis, animated by patriotism, had worked himself, had disappeared. MT Tullis came to Washington, but was sent again to Montgomery to prepare some special papers or statements or other instrumentalities required by red tape. He then came again to Washing ton One or more affidavits bearing on the case had disappeared.
 So he may have to keep the steel, sl6OO worth of it, although there is said to be a bare chance that the government will eventually go to his rescue.
