CHICAGO, Sept. 2 INS),
With the alleged admission OF
Leonard Doxey that he drove the
murder car, investigators turned
today to a hunt for the actual
slayers of Herbert F. Lee in Grant
Park two weeks ago.
Doxey, arrested on suspicion in
st. Louis, was said to have told a
friend while in Jail there that he
was in the car. The information
was supplied by Charles H. Davis,
who was occupying an adjacent
cell at the time.
Lucille Buehler, night club sweet
heart of the slain man, has been
named as friend of Doxey who
led Lee into a holdup trap that
resulted in his death.
Doxey and the girl were held to-
day on blank warrants in connec-
ton with the killing.

Historic Churches
Of D. G.. Described

Attention called the historical background Of WASH
ngons churches today by Representative Wburn Cart
wright (Dl. of Oklahoma.
The Washington times., 1937-09-02

In an extension Of his remarks
in the appendix of the Congress
sional Record, just published. the
Representative recalls the words
of Major l'Enfant, who was
chosen by George Washington to
lay out the city. Major l'Enfant
declared:
"a church Should be erecte6
for national purposes, such as
public prayer, thanksgiving,
funeral orations, ETC., and be
assigned to the special use of
no particular denomination or
sect but be equally open to all.
It will likewise be q shelter for
such monuments as were voted
by the last Continental Con-
greSs for the heroes who fell in
the cause of liberty"
The Washington times., 1937-09-02
NOT UNDERTAKEN

Although such an undertaking
was impossible because state and
church is irrevocably separated in
this country, Representative Cart
wright points to the great number
of places of worship that sprung
up all over the city. He said:
"A visit to the many churches
in and about Washington is
inspiring, because their histori-
cal backgrounds bring forcibly
to ones attention the great
force which their religious in
fluence had upon the leaders Of
our country and, consequently,
upon our national develop
ment."
