SHRINE BATTLE
RACES IN HOUSE
ON TWO FRONTS
Keller and BoyIan at
Odds on Memorial

The battle Of Thomas jefferson
was being fought on two fronts to-
day at the Capitol.
Representative Kent Kellar
CD of Illinois asked Congress to
abolish the present Thomas JEFF
ferson Memorial Commission,
which he said is attempting to
fcist a memorial on the public
which would be a national eye
sore"
At the same time, Representa-
tive John Boyland CD Of New
York, commission chairman, ap-
peared before the House ap-
preparation deficiency committee
to ask 100000, to carry out the
commissions proposal to construct
a memorial to jefferson at the
south end Of the Tidal Basin.
This memorial would be built
along Pantheon lines.
URGES APEX SITE
However, Kellar, in filing q
favorable report on q bill to abol-
ish the Memorial Commission,
asked for creation Of a new Fed
eral Memorial Commission, to con-
Struct the memorial on the apex
lot at Constitution and Pennsyl-
vania Avenues Northwest.
The report described the pro
posed memorial as resembling "a
toadstool on the meadow" and
charged the Memorial Commission
with failure properly to interpret
repeated reflections of its plan
and to take advantage of oppor-
tunitieS to present IAN entirely
different design"
EIGHT PRINCIPLES
Kellar, speaking for the House
Library Committee, of which he
is chairman, laid down eight cardi-
nal principles which he said should
be followed in the erection Of 3
memorial. These were:
The memorial to jefferson
must be as original in its con-
ception as he was in his idea
Of this Nation.
It must express artistically
the same freedom which he
wrote into the Declaration of
Independence.
It must express the universal
lty Of human ideas in a work Of
art as clearly as he expressed
this idea.
It must be as outstanding
among works Of art as he was
outstanding among men.

man rule over the agency.
The letter was addressed to
Harcourt Morgan, and came as
the joint congressional commit.
tee investigating the iva re-
cessed its hearings until after ad,
journment of Congress.
In the letter DR.. Morgan served
notice on the iva directorate
that as soon as the files of the
agency we're opened to him he
would reply in detail to numerous
charges and countercharges made
before the committee yesterday
by Harcourt Morgan and his col
league. David E. Lilienthal.
When I make them" DR..
Morgan wrote, these replies
will illustrate other examples Of
the moral climate which has
SO handicapped relations in the
IVA"
The letter, two and one-half
pages long, concerned only two of
Harcourt Morgan's charges
against the ousted chairman.
These were the latter's so-called
rule or ruin policy" and his ef-
forts to organize real estate men
for compliance with the iva pol
icy early in the agency's life.
SIGNS AS CHAIRMAN
DR.. Morgan significantly ad-
dressed the letter to "Dr. H, A.
Morgan, vice chairman" and
affixed beneath his own signature
the title Chairman" This
appeared to be DR.. Morgan's way
OF letting the country know that
although President Roosevelt re-
moved him from office in March,
that he, Arthur Morgan, con.
siders himself legally still the head
of the board.
1t was further indication that
DR.. Morgan intends to preserve
the legal status of his contention
that Mr.. Roosevelt had mol
authority to Dust him. His at
torneys are now preparing to
bring suit to test the validity Of
the Presidents action.
EXPLAINS REALTY COURSE
Regarding his proposal to "look
into the ethics of real estate men,"
made at the first board meeting
in 1888, DR.. Morgan said he
offered it to stop "high pressure"
sales campaigns in the Muscle
Shoals (Ala.) area and to prevent
brokers from buying property
to sell to the Government at a
great increase in price, such as
was undertaken in the Berry
Marble case"
He claimed that his efforts,
branded highly visionary" by
Harcourt Morgan yesterday,
blocked wildcat real estate pro.
motion schemes" and that, as q
result of an agreement with &C.
ment manufacturers, also attacked
as visionary" more than $1,000
600 had been saved the Govern.
ment in lower prices.
DENIES PLAN TO RULE
DR.. Morgan said he only re-
queSted at the first board meeting
that he be temporarily" named
general manager Of the agency
until a permanent one could be
hired.
"You agreed to this" he
wrote Harcourt Morgan. when
the board met again I had
list of names to present (for
manager). One of these men
was Mr.. Scott, president of Lock
wood, Greene and Co., indus >
trial engineers, who favorably
impressed the board. After con.
sidering the matter for q time
he declined.

Although the new Claudette Col

boards Eighth Wife" which comes
to the kootenai theatre beginning
Sunday draws parallel between
modern man-of- the-World and the
legendary orge of the fairy tale
books. Producer Director Ernst
Lubitch hastens to assure movie
goers that they should not expect
too close a resemblance between the
ancient Wife-killer and the sauve
actor who plays the modern Blue.
beard in the Paramount picture.
As everyone who has read the
story book knows, the ancient
Bluebeard was medival nobleman
who had seven wives, all of whom
he got rid of through murder says
Lubitsch. Then along came his
beautiful eighth wife who turned
the tables on him by calling out her
private army.
Gary Cooper, the Bluebeard of
our play has seven wives whom he
puts out of the way by the modern
method of divorce. Miss Colbert, in
the role of lovely young French
aristocrat who becomes his eighth
spouse, puts him at her mercy by us

the resourceful young lady of the
legend, even though it is more SUBJ

III a thousand little ways makes him

seven wives, he has finally met
woman who can beat him at his own

The famous farce of Alfred Savoir.
which has been turned into a screen
production of .Bluebeard's Eighth
Wife" is set against the glamorous
background of Europe's most famed
pleasure spots. Cooper, in his role
Iof the multi-married multi-million-

nemesis on the romantic French Ri
veria, and their subsequent madcap
honeymoon takes them to such
famed resorts as. Venice, the Tyrol
Prague, Vienna, Switzerland and
