WASH|NGTON-LEE
BUSTSF FORGOTTEN
Woodrum to Ask Their For
NAL Acceptance by U. S.
After Quarter Century.

Nearly a quarter of a century after
the State of Virginia placed statues
OF George Washington and Robert E..
Lee in the Capitol, the Government will
be asked officially to accept the busts.
The Governments oversight was dis
closed by Representative Woodrum of
Virginia, who said he would introduce
today-the 200th anniversary of Wash
ington's birth-a resolution authorizing
the United States formally to accept
the statues.
Woodrum pointed out the acceptance
was not absolutely essential. but in a
majority OF cases the Government has
accepted these gifts of statues at ap-
propriate exercises
The statues-bronze castings Of
originals of Washington by Houdon,
and Lee by Edward V. Valentine. Rich
mond sculptor-were placed in Statu-
airy Hall in August. 1909. under an act
of Congress of 1864 inviting all States
to furnish statues of citizens 'iluStriouS
for their historic renown"
Representative Woodrum ran across
the case accidentally. Correspondence
on file in the Office of the architect of
the Capitol shows arrangements for
placing the busts were made by Don P
Halsey. then a Virginia State Senator
and now a circuit judge
1t seems particularly appropriate. p"
Woodrum said. after the belated delay
in this matter. that this resolution
should be introduced on the 20t0h ami
verSary Of the birth of Washington.
1t is my purpose. at an opportune
time. to ask for consideration of the
resolution. and upon its adoption to
make arrangements for fitting cere-
monies in Statuary Hall. when the Gov
elnor of Virginia and other leading
officials and citizens Of the State will
be invited to participate"
The Virginian said he had particular
interest in the matter because Wash
ington and Lee University is his alma
mater.

PROPERTY PRINCIPLES OF PRIMITIVE
THLINGET INDIANS STUDIED BY OBERG

Kalervo Oberg, research associa-
ate of the department of anthro-
pology, University of Chicago. ar
rived here Thursday morning to
spend some time in Wrangell in re-
search work among the Thlinget
Indians of this vicinity.
Mr.. Oberg was sent north last
July by the Chicago University
and has spent the past ten months
at Juneau. Klukwan, Haines and
Sitka.
He is not interested so much in
the apparent manifestations of
Thlinget culture, such as the old
potlatches, burial, marriage and
shamanistic cermonies. What he
wishes to know are the underlying
principles controlling these cere-
monies.
Very little work has been done
in the field of primitive law and
the anthropologists are now in
terested in getting the legalistic
principles that controlled the accu
mutation of property and it's distri-
button among primitive peoples.
" Perhaps nowhere in the world,
said Mr.. Oberg, "were there
people more concerned with mate
rial wealth and it's use as a means
to personal power than the old
