5-STORY ELEVATOR
DROP BRINGS PROBE
Daughter Of Representative
Doughton Is Treated for Shock
After Accident.

An inspection Of the modern
elevator system in the new House
Office Building was started today as
the result of an accident yesterday
which severely shocked Miss Reba L.
Doughton, daughter of Representative
Doughton of North Carolina.
The elevator in which Miss Dough-
ton was riding failed to stop at the
floor she ordered, and dropped five
floors before Earl Gilkey, the operator,
could turn off the current and bring
it to a halt by an emergency device,
Miss Doughton, who is employed by
her father, was treated for shock in
his Office and later sent home.
David Lynn, supervising architect
of the Capitol. said the elevator had
not actually dropped, but that the
operator had become frightened when
the lift did not stop when he thought
it should. Miss Doughton, however,
said the presence of mind of the
operator in cutting off the power,
probably had saved her from serious
injury.

and girls who come up to Banner Elk.
The remarkable record of the insti-
tuition is due largely to keen business
instinct combined with the broad
humanitarianism of the president.
Edgar H. Tufts. The school was
established by his father, mountain
missionary. Its development has been
the life work of the son.
Up to this point there are number
of other rather similar institutions in
the southern Appalachians. But Mr..
Tufts has a vision which looks beyond
in the field of self-supported educa-
ton. At present Lees-McRea Is sup
ported in part by gifts coming from
well-wishers in all parts of the coun-
try, but the president sees the posi-
bility of college which will be self
sufficient. His mind is dwelling upon
a radically new departure in Ameri-
can education The majority of COL
leges throughout the country depend
very largely upon subsidies. They
may come from the State or from
some church. They may come from
the legacy of some long-dead phil
anthr0piSt. When bonds go down or
tax receipts fall off these colleges. not
prepared to stand on their own feet,
face bad times.
Why, asks MIR. Tufts, can't a going
business be the basis of a colleges
support? Why can't college and
workshop be combined so that the
profits of one will support the philan-
thropy of the other? Instead of
putting the profits of business into
dividends he would put it into edu-
cation.
Strange Paradox Noted.
'There's one strange paradox in
American higher education which I
can't quite understand" remarked a
member of Mr.. Tufts faculty. Some
man leaves a million dollars to found
a college for the education of poor
boys and girls. Some other man
leaves two million for the same pur-
pose. Now you will find almost in
variably that it costs student just
about twice as much to attend the
college with the two-million as with
the one-million endowment. The
more money left for the education of
deserving boys and girls, the more 1t
costs them. Perhaps, if We can get
away from any outside support we
can provide education without any
expense"
And this is something like the idea
Mr.. Tufts and his co-workers have
in mind. With the possibilities for
small industries opened up by the
Tennessee Valley Authority, he sees
the possible realization of his distant
vision of the self-supported college,
which may serve as a model for SINH
lar institutions the Nation over.
The idea is particularly applicable
throughout the Tennessee Valley area.
The college is looked upon as a neces-
sary corner stone of the new cultural
life. but such institutions throughout
the area are largely of the traditional
type-endowed and struggling desper-
ately to meet high requirements with
decreasing finances. Throughout the

He reported total receipts since its
founding in Tulsa, Okla, in 1882, Of
$62,528 and expenditures OF $50 0,594
for such purposes as a weekly pay roll
for 80 clerks, 81 200 to 81 300 for radio
use and expenses Of newspaper ad-
vertising, overhead, etc. His personal
expenses, he said, came out of his
own pocket.
Cites Petition.
Pope said he felt his efforts had
been largely responsible for hearings
being conducted on old-age pension
legislation and cited a petition he said
bore some 100000 names and which he
had filed with the Labor Committee.
Chairman Ramspeck brought out
that the petition was not filed until
after Pope was told his organization
would be investigated.
Pope replied it was not filed earlier
because he did not want to put 1t in
until hearings started.
Several members Of the House and
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massa-
chuSetts are among those who have

Of the association. Representative
Wood told the committee one of

Banner Elk Is Labratory of T. V. A.
College Takes Up Projects in Connection With Valley
Experiment-Educaion and Industry Combined

country there Is increasing complaint
that higher education is becoming the
prerogative of new aristocracy OF
wealth-that the poor boy or girl no
longer can work their way" Stu
dents of Northern colleges for years
have met a good part of their ex-
penses by working as bellhops and
walters in Summer hotels. 1t was a
touch of genius on the part of Mr..
Tufts to make the hotel work for the
college.
Seeks to Provide Leaders.
The primary idea of the Lees
McCrea College is to provide leaders
for the mountain communities-not
to add to the growing ranks of jobless
graduates who flock to the cities. The
boys become the small-town bankers,
merchants, leading farmers. If they
show some. special aptitude In their
college courses they can be sent to
the State university for further edu-
cation. Upon the shoulders of the
girls, as the college authorities look
upon the problem, rests the greatest
responsibility of ALL Their job Is to
raise the whole social, family and in
tellectual life OF the area to a higher
level.
The self-supporting college doesn't
go in for coonskin coats, petting
parties and elaborate frat houses
But in all activities which do not
call for an ostentatious display of
wealth. its students lead about the
same sort of life as college boys and
girls elsewhere. They have a crack
foot ball team. They have plenty Of
time for social activities. They are
able to learn and live at the same
time by wise direction of their eX-
penditure Of energy.
1t is in line with producing the
self-supporting college that Mr., Tufts
is taking up all sorts of practical
projects with the Tennessee Valley
Authority, such as building larger
power dam across the Elk River and
establishing various small manufac-
turing industries. 1t is as ~test
tube" for just this sort of thing that
the Tennessee Valley Authority Is
chiefly interested in Banner Elk.

ROOSEVELT JOINS
IN CELEBRATION
Motors to Mount Vernon in
Rain to Place Wreath
on Tomb.

The Capital returned to its daily
tasks today after round OF patriotic
exercises and other functions celebrat-
ing the 2O2d birthday anniversary OF
George Washington.
President Roosevelt joined his fellow
citizens in commemorating the memory
of the first President, motoring to
Mount Vernon through driving rain
to place wreath on the marble
sarcophagus of the Revolutionary War
leader.
With bowed head, Mr.. Roosevelt
walked into the yine-covered red tomb
in which the bodies of the first Chief
Executive and his wife, Martha WASH
ington. rest. Mrs. Roosevelt accom-
panied him into the tomb. With them
were the Presidents aides, Capt.
Walter Vernon, U. S. N, and Col.
Edwin M. Watson, U. S. A.
Citizens Pay Tribute.
After placing the wreath, the Presi-
dent returned to his automobile, which,
despite the downpour, was surrounded
bv private citizens, who also had gone
to Mount Vernon to commemorate the
anniversary of Washingtons birth.
The Roosevelts returned directly to
the White House.
Miss Marguerite LIE Hand and Mrs.
Malvina Schneider, personal secre-
taries to the President and the FIRST
Lady, also made the pilgrimage TO
Mount Vernon.
The first Presidents home had many
other visitors. A motor pilgrimage to
the historic residence was conducted
by George Washington Post, No. l.,
American Legion, and wreaths also
were carried there by representatives
of the Advisory Board of the Masonic
Clubs and of the Boy Scouts, as well
as by numerous private citizens.
A return to the principles laid
down by Washington was urged IN
speech by Secretary of War Dern, VINO
credited the Roosevelt administration
with having saved the United States
from Communism or FaSclsm.
Change Averted Chaos.
The Secretary spoke in Continental
Memorial Hall, at exercises arranged
by the Sons of the Revolution, the
Sons of the American Revolution, the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion and the Children of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
"a year ago." he said, 1--WE were
rushing headlong toward Communism
or Fascism-I don't know which. Con-
ditions had grown intolerable and
were getting worse But a change of
policy averted chaos, and now the
American people have faith in the
American system, and are looking
hopefully to future of better ordered
liberty, better sustained opportunity
and better sense of social justice"
What Washington, if he were alive
today, would advise the country was
the basis of an address by Rev. Igna-
thus Smith, noted Dominican orator,
at the annual military mass of the
American Legion, celebrated in I'M
maculate Conception Church, Eighth
and N streets
Many wreaths also were placed at
the base of the Washington Monu-
ment. Among the organizations whose
representatives laid floral tributes at
the foot of the shaft were the Wash
1ngton National Monument Society.
