BILL FOR BUYING
MT. VERNON DEAD
House Committee Indicates
Shrine viii Remain With
Women's Body.

The Treadway resolution, which
would direct the Secretary of the In
terror to determine under what terms
the Nations premier shrine, Mount Ver-
non, might be acquired by the Federal
Government, virtually has been killed
In committee. There is semi-official as
Surance that Mount Vernon will remain
in possession of the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association.
Both sides of the question were
argued yesterday before the House
Lands Committee, with Representative
Treadway, Republican, Of Massachu-
sets, arguing for Government owner
ship and control and Representative
Smith, Democrat, Of Virginia, arguing
that 1t must remain as it is.
Meanwhile the Daughters of the
American Revolution went on record to-
day against the Treadway proposal in
q resolution which instructed all State
regents to oppose passage OF the
measure.
Representative Smith quoted from
the associations charter to show that
the ownership of Mount Vernon by the
association cannot be alienated with
out approval by the General Assembly
of the State of Virginia. He called
the Treadway bill a futile" gesture.
He also opposed an amendment offered
by Representative Leavitt, Republican,
of Montana to have the Interior De-
partment negotiate with the State of
Virginia.
The Massachusetts member, in urging
the committee to act favorably on his
measure, said: THE American people
desire that Mount Vernon be turned
over to the Federal Government" He
severely criticized the charging of a
25-cent fee to all visitors at this great
national shrine and the fact that it
Is closed on Sundays.
Mrs. J. Taylor Allyson Of Richmond,
president of the Society for the Pres
ervation of Virginia Antiquities, opposed
the bill. A number Of representatives
Of patriotic organizations attended the
hearing.
