Walsh Halls End of Sectional luminosity
As u. S. accepts Washington, Lee Statues
Virginia Makes Gift to
Hall of Fame after
25 Years. ,

A FTER a delay Of IS years, the
~ Nation last night ofiicially
~ thanked Virginia for its gift
4 4 to the Hall of Fame of the
bronze statues of Washing
ton and Lee. Z
The statues Of the two famous
sons Of the Old Dominion, banked
high with flowers. were formally pre-
sented and received at ceremonies
In the rotunda of the Capitol.
Contrasted with House floor debate
on whether Lee should be given ma
tional recognition-the stumbling
block to ofhcial acknowledgements
were the words Of Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Of Massachusetts,, who re-
ceived the statues as "the delegate
Of Congress" Acceptance OF the
Lee statue, he said, "is in the nature
OF q final attestation Of the entire ex-
tinguishment of the passions which
once divided our country and set
brother against brother, and which
fingered long after all arms had been
laid down. The animosities engen-
dered by the Civil War have been OBJ
liberated"
STAINLESS Captains"
Senator Walsh also described the
famous Virginians as "two stainless
captains" whose dispositions. were
shaped by the influences Of the same
physical surroundings, the same social
life and the same general ancestry
Virginia has many illustrious sons
from whom to choose In determining
which two should be accorded the
particular honor or statues in Statu-
ary Hall - Washington, Jefferson
Madison and Lee-to name only a
few" he said. The Virginia roll OF
honor Is a long one. The selection OF
Washington, of whom alone it has
been said so often and SO well that
he was first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen
was, of course, obvious and very nearly
inevitable.
"The selection Of Robert E. Lee
rather than jefferson or Marshall OF
Madison to stand beside Washington
in this hall might not at first glance
look to be SO obvious a choice. But
upon reflection, We cannot fail to be
deeply impressed by the qualities OF
greatness which Washington and Lee
had in common and which make
them particularly fitting companions
in this gallery of heroes"
Presented by Governor.
Gov. George c. Peery Of Virgins
presented the statues to the Natior
with a declaration that Virgins
feels that she had set the chief stal
in the Nations Hall Of Fame" Lee
he described as "one of the noblest
tragic figures the world has evel
produced"
Lees greatness was the greatness
that withstood defeat" he said.

be implicated in the theft of 40 blank
American Express Co. travellers
checks from a bank in Connecticut.

drivers employed on the Lee boulevard
surfacing project went on strike fol
higher wages yesterday, most of them
later returning to work. They did not
get the pay raise.
Although the Lee boulevard project
Is in Arlington County, the strikers
gathered on the road leading to the
gravel pit in Fairfax County. from
which they were hauling materials
and. according to j. c. McCandlish
superintendent for the firm which has
the contract for the boulevard work
stopped the few drivers who refused
to join them, threatening them with
stones If they continued with their
work.
Upon the arrival of Sheriff E. P
Kirby of Fairfax and McCandlish, the
latter said, he told all drivers who
were not satisfied with their pay tc
report at his Office for their money
The prevailing wage rate is being paic
and the contractors feel no increase
is justified. Two men reported fol-
their pay, he said, and the others
then all asked to be permitted to re.
turn to work. The request was granted

Woman Overcome
By Gas Escaping
From Refrigerator
Returned to Apartment
Fearing Husband
Had Not Fled.

Because Maj. Alfred v. Dalrymple's
aim with an icepick is not all it might
be, Mrs. Rethel Eakin, one Of his
neighbors in an apartment at 3726
Connecticut avenue, was overcome by
sulphur dioxide gas last night in an
attempt to rescue" her husband.
Maj. Dalrymple, special assistant to
the Attorney General and former
prohibition director, was trying to
dislodge a piece of ice in his refrig-
orator. A blow with the pick, accord
ing to police, missed the ice and
punctured a gas line.
The escaping gas spread to the ad-
joining apartment of Mrs. Eakin She
fled to the hallway and then, fearing
that her husband might not have
escaped, returned to hunt for him.
BY this time the gas in her apart
ment had become so thick she was
barely able to get back to the corridor
before collapsing. Members of the
fire department rescue squad revived
her.
In the meantime. another neigh
Dor saved the situation by plugging
up the hole in the line.

wages.
Two of the trades are out on strike
carpenters and plasterers-ano
Monday morning the plasterers' tend
ers will be out The tenders want
an increase from IS cents an hour

put in only about 100 days year,
or perhaps 125 days, on the average
Although only the three trades
are expected to be on strike Monday
to enforce their demands for a b.
hour day and increased hourly wages,
the contractors employing building
tradesmen in their meeting yesterday
virtually agreed they would stand to-
gether in resisting any demands that
may be made by any of the build
ing trades for the 6-T1our day and
increased hourly wages.
Stands on S1.10 Offer.
The Master Builders Association it
self still stands on its original offer OF

Dignity Hurt, Says Headley :.
after ScuffIe With Couple
Arrests FoNo,U Traffic
Conflict at Tenth and
Massachusetts,.
Motorist ThrO,Un to
Pavement is Treated
at Hospital.

Police Inspector Albert ]. Headley
was recovering today from what he
described as "a serious injury to my
dignity suffered in a sidewalk
wrestling match with a motorist,
whom he nabbed for passing a red
traffic light at Massachusetts, ave-
nue. and Tenth street last night.
Although the motorist was "just
about as big" as Headley and had the
assistance Of his wife, besides, the
inspector was given the decision by
the crowd that gathered to watch
the melee And, to make his victory
official, Headley placed the. couple
under arrest, charging the man with
passing a "stop'' light, driving with
faulty brakes and disorderly con-
duct, and the woman with disorderiy
conduct.
1t was about 7:3O pm, and Headley,
off duty and in civilian clothes, was
on his way home.
II stopped for a red light" said
the inspector, who once headed the
Traffic Bureau, land this fellow shot
past me, going right through the
light. I footed my horn; he stopped.
looked back, and then started backing
across the intersection.
Although I kept on footing, he
backed right into my car, damaging
one of the tenders. I forced his
machine over to the curb and ordered
him out.
II tried to talk to him in friendly
way, but he wanted to fight. He hit
me once and then I grabbed him.
"As we tussled back and forth, he
called me all the vile names he could
think of. His companion pushed me
a couple of times, but didn't do any
damage, and let it pass. ! wouldn't
hit a woman, anyway"
Evening star., 1934-05-19

Headley finally overpowered the
man. throwing him to the sidewalk.
AS the man went down, he struck his
head against the pavement, inf1ict-
ing a cash over his eye.
"I wasn't hurt at ALL" the inspector
said. Except, of course, for serious
injury to my dignity. But got over
that very quickly-and without hav-
ing to apply for treatment of any
kind"
After receiving treatment at Freed
mems Hospital, Headley's opponent
was taken to the second precinct po-
lice station, where he identified him
self as Samuel E. Dodson, 81, of the
400 block of G street. His wife, Mrs.
Maggie Dodson, 26, who gave an ad-
dress in the 1000 block of Massachu-
sets avenue, also was taken to the
station, but was released on SIS col
lateral, which she said she would
forfeit
In Police Court today Dodson was
fined total of S60-S25 for passing
the red light, S25 for bad brakes and
$40 on the disorderly charge. Being
unable to pay, he was remanded to
jail by Judge John P. Mcmahon.

Orders to Force Acceptance
of Bid and Prevent Re-
lection Asked.
522 TRUCKS INVOLVED;
OTHER ACTIONS ARE DUE
McCarl Ruling Is Alleged to
Have Barred Seeking Contracts
for 1000 Vehicles.

The ong-anticipated court test be-
tween Henry Ford and the N. r. A.
was In the making today, with the
basis for action lying in an executive
order requiring all bidders for Gov
ernment business to certify that they
are operating and will continue to
operate under code, and that the same
condition prevails with regard to all
other parties having a hand in the
production Of material proposed to
be bought with recovery act funds.
The issue was joined late yester-
day, when r. P. Sabine, head of the
Northwest Motor Co., a Ford agency
in Bethesda, went into District Su-
preme Court and asked for orders,
both to prevent rejection and require
acceptance of low bid.
522 Trucks Involved.
The Government was to answer to-
day.
Sabine's suit was directed against
the Secretary of Agriculture and in
wolves 522 trucks. Similar suits, how
ever, are to be filed against a num-
Der Of other agencies, according to
Sabine, who says that ruling of Con-
troller General McCarl upholding the
executive order. already have elimi-
mated him from contracts for 1000
vehicles, and will bar him from
awards for 5000 more The result
will be, he says, that the Government
will pay sl,000,000 more for these
than the figure he has quoted.
In the Agriculture suit, Mr.. Sabine,
through Attorneys Joseph T. Sherier
and j. Hunter Creech, says he SUBJ
mitted a bid lower by $30,282 than
that of the Chevrolet Motor Co., to
which it is proposed to award the
contract.
Says He Is Under Code.
Sabine, in all his bids, certified that
he was operating under code, but re-
fused to speak either for Ford or
the other 5000 manufacturers who. he
said, had part in producing the
trucks. To require this assurance,
he said, was impractical and unjust,
although, he said, to the best of his
knowledge all were operating accord
ing to code.
McCarl, thereupon, held that by so
qualifying his bid Sabine had elimi-
mated himself from consideration.

the cause for which he fought, and
I am content with the result"
Virginia does not make here con-
tribution to a museum of history" said
DR.. Gaines. Virginia does not pre-
sent effigies of biography, however
significant Virginia does not offer
specimens Of the wealth of personality
that has been her endowment, nor
memorials of the shining figures Of
great drama in which she had share.
Virginia presents here an enduring
illumination of the qualities of char
acter which give promise to our life.
Here are the symbols Of hope, the
incarnations of prophecy. Here are
the heralds of a golden age, whose
light is of the dawn, and not Of sun
