DELAWARE IN
"HALL OF FAME"
Statue of Caesar Rodney,
Signer of Declaration of In
dependence to Be There
JOHN M. CLAYTON, NEXT

Members of the Statuary Com
mission, at a meeting in Dover,
Friday afternoon, selected the
statute of Caesar Rodney, one of
the signers of the Declaration of
Independence from Delaware, to
represent this State among the
gallery of the nations famous ma
tive sons in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol Building in Washington.
The choice was made as between
that of Rodney and ]. M. Clayton,
another distinguished Delawarean.
Statuary Hall is the location in
Washington where each State has
been permitted to place one or
more statues of its famous sons.
At present Delaware is not repre-
sented in the group but about four
years ago the Legislature provided
for the creation of a commission
and appropriated $4,000 to have
two statues of famous Delawar-
cans made and it was intended to
place them in the hall. The room
has become so crowded, however,
and the weight on the floor so
great that the architect has refus-
ed to permit any more statues to
be placed there and all the States
have been ordered to remove all
but one of their statues This made
it necessary for the Delaware
Commission to choose between the
Rodney and Clayton statues as to
which was to be placed in Statuary
Hall and the selection of the Rod
ney likeness was made. The time
for the unveiling has not been de-
termined but there will be appro-
pirate exercises in connection with
the event Both statues are the
work of Bryant Baker, well
known sculptor of New York. They
are of italian marble while the
base of each is of Vermont marble.
Both are of heroic size. They were
illOlC Lllcit q y JSoI clSO
and have been reposing in crates in
Washington since that time. The
extra statues that will have to be
removed from Statuary Hall will
be located in another room in the
Capitol and the Clayton statue will
be among this group and will prob
ably be unveiled at the same time
as the Rodney exercises. The
members of the Statuary Commis-
sion are: Former State Senator w.
E. Jacobs, Harrington, chairman;
Thomas E. Peeney, Wilmington,
secretary; former State Senator c.
H. Hollis, Seaford; Senator Ed
ward Hart, Townsend; former Con-
gresham Robert G. Houston,
Georgetown; DR.. George H. Ryden,
Newark.

Leaving the high seas, the dry
land incident Of New Jersey mo-
torist came up. He parked In a
place where the limit is one hour.
Returning at the end of two Eours,
he found a ticket on his car. Not
knowing exactly what TO do about
the matter, he examined the SOU
yenir of the law. The name of the
officer who signed 1t seemed ia
miliar, so he looked him up and dis
covered that he was his cousin.
That led to what-a-small-wor

struction of the ticket.

ALBANY, NJ Y, April 3.-New
York's Legislature apparently was
moving today toward a sweeping in
vestigation Of virtually every phase Of
public utility operation in the Empire
State.
Resolutions calling for the investi-
cation were introduced last night with
strong backing in both parties. The
Democratic leadership pressed for i'm
mediate action in accordance with the
expressed wish of Gov. Herbert H.
Lehman. A Republican resolution
declared Statewide demand existed
for full investigation.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is
ready to go ahead Immediately with a
separate investigation Of letters said
by the Federal Trade Commission to
have been written by Senator Warren
T. Thayer. Chateaugay Republican, to
the Associated Gas g. Electric Co.
The writer OF letters asked about be-
ing reimbursed for expenses in a VII
lage campaign and expressed the hope
his work in the Legislature was sat
isfactory"
Thayer Indignantly denied he had
ever been improperly Influenced by
any utility company and formally in
vited a Senate inquiry.
The general investigation proposed
by leaders of both parties is intended
to go much farther. II it is voted, q
joint committee for the Senate and
Assembly will inquire into rates, bust
ness practices and financing of every

A|RMA|L LEAK
PROBE ABANDONED
Senate Banking Group Holds
Benefits Would Not
Justify Cost.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Banking Committee to-
day gave up its idea of investigating
whether advance information leaked
out on airmail contract cancellation.
The committee found the probably
100000 cost of the investigation of
whether tips from within the Govern
ment led to short sales of aviation
stocks just before cancellation would
not be justified.
Meanwhile, passage of the admin
istrations permanent airmail legiSla-
ton before April 20-thus obviating
necessity for temporary set-up-was
set forth as a possibility today at the
Post Office Department.
The motion to abandon the investi-
cation was made by Senator Kean,
Republican. of New Jersey who orig
inally asked for the inquiry.
II do not believe the value to the
public would justify the expenditure,
and I withdraw my request" Kean
said
Ferdinand Pecora, committee coun-
sci, who had been directed to make
the investigation, reported that lit
eral compliance with his instructions
would have required complete ex-
ploration of thousands of tranSac-
tons
The Post Office Department was
represented as believing congressional
leaders had been slow in handling
permanent airmail legislation and to
believe if announcement of proposed
temporary set-up had done nothing
else it had accelerated action on Capt.
tol Hill.
Reporters asked Postmaster General
Farley today about charges that ia
voritism had played a part in the
formulation of the temporary airmail
program He replied they criticized
us when the Army flew the mail and
now they are criticizing us when we
are trying to give it back TO the COM
mercial carriers
He was asked if E. L. Cord, chair
man of the board of Aviation Cor
poration. the holding company for
American Always, which has been
mentioned as being in highly favor
able position to bid, had contributed
to the Democratic campaign fund.
