which organization is taking up the

in North Carolina. Mr.. Wedemeyer
visited a number of the other south
ern states, including Georgia, where
the Stone Mountain controversy has
conferred
He states that he has found scnti-
ment in the majority of the states
visited TO be favorable toward Bor-
glum and the desire to see him COM
plete the work. With the present in
dication of the coin failure the re-
cent proposal of the governor of North
Carolina to complete his design of a
Confederate memorial in that state
has had a greater tendency TO dis
credit the charges made against Bor-
glum. A book recently written by
Gerald Johnson will appear in Octo-
Der, containing the story and facts
of what has actually happened at
Stone Mountain. and will thus give
the public a chance of judging for
themselves what should be the out
come of the controversy.
Mr.. BorSlum is now in the Black
Hills of South Dakota to spend a few
weeks. He has been given the com
mission TO carve granite mountain
memorial in the West, to be begun
following the completion of the COu'
federate memorial. Mr.. BOrglum will
be in San Antonio in October, and
will have with him the model of the
