plans for completing the George Wash

Senator Dill, Democrat of Washing

heard was that the site is directly in
front of Arlington National Cemetery,
and inquired if there was any other
place available not so close to the
cemetery.
Senator Bingham said the nearest
possible location would be Gravelly
Point, about half mile distant. The
Connecticut Senator said very few
planes actually fly over the cemetery.

prevented even il the District airport
is not located there.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of Ten

would have on the Memorial Highway.
Senator Bingham replied it was hoped
to develop 1t in an attractive way so
that it would improve the view from
the highway at that point.
In response to another question,
Senator Bingham stated that it was the
expectation of those who have studied
the matter that the $4,000. 900 provided

special awards at the national exhibi-
ton Of orchids, which closed at the
willard Hotel last night, under the au-
spices Of the American Orchid Society.
The exhibit was arranged chiefly by

commercial growers eo-operated and
helped support the show. Flower cul-
turists here said the display was the
largest and most comprehensive OF ia
eort ever staged In washington.
Mr.. Shaffer won Q stlver cup IN q
class embracing O dining table deccra-
ton Of orchids with places set for six
persons, while Prof. Lumsdcn received
q similar award in recognition Of his
services to the exhibition.
