CAPITAL STATUE
T0CHR|STPLANNED
Erection of Figure to Climax
Anti-Communist Drive
Asked by Bishop.

Erection Of a colossal figure of
Christ as Light Of the World" on a
site in Washington Is planned as a
feature of a national anti-Communist
campaign launched today by Most
Rev. John Francis Noll. bishop Of Fort
Wayne. Ind, and publisher of Our
Sunday Visitor. one Of the largest
Catholic weekly publications in the
world.
In an announcement made public
here, Bishop Noll said it is the pur-
pose Of the campaign to enlist the CO.
operation of both Catholics and
Protestants in an organized drive
which will reach a climax Sunday,
October IS, the Feast of Christ the
King.
Arrangements already are under way
for selection of site here, and lead
ing sculptors are being asked to sub
NIT designs for the figure. Associated
with Bishop Noll in the project, it was
announced, are Senators Glass of Vir-
ginia, Walsh of Massachusetts, and
Borah of Idaho. Gov. McNutt of In
diana. George N Shuster, editor of
the Commonwealth, and many arch
bishops and bishops.
THE statue of Christ which We
intend to erect in the City of Wash
ington." Bishop Noll explained, lis to
be symbolical of the desire of all Amer
leans to continue to live within the
principles and ethics Of Christ, who,
apart from His divinity, was the world S
greatest teacher of righteous relations
among men,"
Bishop Noll pointed out that while
there are statues and memorials IN
Washington in honor of statesmen,
warriors, literary men and women and
great engineers, nowhere on the public
grounds of the United Stats is there
a statue of proper proportions to the
Saviour" upon whose teachings "the
permanence of our institutions and the
happiness of l2o,OoO.ooo Americans
depend"
An heroic statue to Christ in the
City Of Washington, he said, will
stand as a permanent reminder to the
people of America and of the world
that only by remaining within the fold
Of Christian nations can our freedom
as people survive"

WINNER
OF AIR RACE, HERE
Coming Back Next Year
With Even Better Plane,
He Says.

Lieut.. Michel Detroyat, French
aviator, who last Monday captured
the SIS, 900 Thompson Trophy. great
est of all American landplane speed
awards, is coming back to the Nation
al Air Races next year. If possible.
with an airplane which will greatly
excel his 300-mile-per-hour racer of
this year. he said on his arrival in
Washington today for a weekend
visit at the French Embassy.
The tall, dark-haired French Pilot,
who took the two great speed trophies
at the National Air Races at Los
Angeles and then withdrew so that
American pilots might have a chance,
said that he anticipated entries next
year from England, France. Germany.
Italy and possibly other European
countries.
Detroyat said he understood prize
money for the Thompson race next
year will be increased to $4,000 and
for the Greve and Bendix Trophy
race to $4,000 to encourage keener
American and foreign competition.
Detroyat vigorously denied state
ments made by American pilots after
his Thompson race victory that his
ship had been developed under a large
government subsidy in a special effort
to defeat American ships. The Renault
airplane which he used at Los Angeles
to win both the Greve and Thompson
races, Detroyat said. is the same air
plane which won the famous Euro
pean Deutsche de la Muerthe Trophy
race last year and is of type which is
2la years old. Detroyat said there are
three types of airplanes in France
today which could have won the
Thompson race this year.
His racing airplane. Detroyat said,
was entirely financed by private capi-
tai, as were all of the American en-
tries. The French pilot said he was
not distressed" by the criticisms,
which he said apparently were based
on misconception of the facts.
Detroyat arrived at Washington Air
port today as passenger on a regular
Eastern Air Lines transport plane
He was accompanied by his wife and
was met at the airport by Maj. Norbert
Champsaur, French air attache, and
by Mile. Agnes de Laboulaye, daughter
of the French Ambassador.

thropology to Give Fur
ther Data.

Further study of the Indian skele-
tons unearthed during the grading OF
new Boiling Field is being made by
DR.. Frank Settler. curator Of anthro-
pology Of the National Museum, and
his assistants in an effort to shed
turther light on the history OF the
tribes which lived here before the
first white man saw the site Of Wash
ington. a
The skeletons have been identified
definitely as those of Indians, DR..
Settler said, and it is believed their
burial place may mark the site of the
Anacostia village reported by Capt.
John Smith following his first visit
to what is now the District.
As many Of the bones as possible
have been salvaged for detailed study
by DR.. Settler and his assistants The
bones were found in shallow graves
and apparently had been given the
bundle burial" typical of the Algon-
quin Indians of this area.

through shovel-shaped teeth in theS
Jaws and skulls. Such teeth are a
common characteristic Of the Mongol
race, to which the American Indians
belong, 1t was pointed out.

" all her courage today and went
~ before President Roosevelt to
a - be decorated for valor.
As she leaned against the Presi-
dents desk in the executive study.
however, modest Kathryn Van Horn
OF White Cottage, Ohio, soon lost her
nervousness as Mr.. Roosevelt chattcd
with her in a friendly manner before
presenting her with the first annual
civilian medal awarded by the Army
and Navy Legion Of Valor.
Kathryn received the award In
recognition of her courageous feat last
February 5 in throwing herself in the
path Of a sled when she saw two of
her playmates speeding helplessly into
the path of locomotive.
In life, we must think fast when
things are to be DONE" the President
told her. "You have done that and
now that you have been in the big
White House, when you go back to
White Cottage. hope you'll always
keep this medal on display. I am
sure your brave deed will serve as an
inspiration to other boys and girls"
Kathryn thanked the President
shyly. and agreed with him, when it
was over. that "it was not so bad"
For the presentation ceremony, Kath-
ryn was accompanied by Ralph w.
Robart of Boston, past commander of
the Army and Navy Legion of Valor,
who handed the medal over to the
President, and the following members

To these men the President ex-
pressed his pride ''at the splendid
thing the Army and Navy Legion of
Valor is doing in awarding each year
such a medal"
Since her presence Of mind saved
the lives of Gerald Nixon and Ray
mond Kelly, young Miss Van Horn
has been feted extensively as the
guest of the National Convention of
the Legion of Valor in Cincinnati. and
as the private guest Of Post Com
mander Robart.
She's just completed an extensive
tour with the Robarts. And back
home, when she stopped for an
hour or so after the Legion of Valor
