JEFFERSON STATUE
At APEX PROPOSED
Representative BOyIan Claims
Plan Will Solve Dispute
Over Building.

A new proposal to erect the long
projected memorial to Thomas jefferson
on the apex of the Mall Triangle, thus
settling the Fine Arts Commission con-
troversy against placing a Government
building on that site, has been made
by Representative Boylan, Democrat, of
New York. He will introduce a bill for
that purpose as soon as Congress meets
and as a member of the House Ap-
preparations Committee will urge early
action.
He has sponsored bill for a number
Of years for the erection Of a fitting
memorial to Jefferson.
"I believe that with the exception of
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin, no man is more deserving of being
conspicuously memorialized in the Ma
tions Capital than Thomas Jefferson"
Boylan said today. That memorial
should be so placed that it would be-
come a shrine to be visited by the
youth of the land. There is no more
fitting location than at the apex OF
the great development In the triangle
area between Pennsylvania avenue and
the new Constitution avenue. facing
the Capitol.
Il have been in entire sympathy with
the contention of the Commission of
Fine Arts and other interests deeply
concerned in the proper establishment
of this wonderfully beautiful Capital
City, that there should be no new build
ing placed on the apex site which would
detract from the unique beauty of the
new Hall of Archives.
Il believe that most of my colleagues
In Congress will agree with me that the
esthetic beauty of the Mall Triangle
development will be enhanced, a bitter
controversy averted, and tardy tribute
paid to that great leader, whose spirit
runs to our day-Thomas Jefferson-by
authorizing the erection of the long
projected memorial to him on the apex
site"
