COURT BATTLE.
TO SAVE TREES
Injunction Viewed
AS Only Hope
BY JAMES J. CULLINANE

Wholesale destruction of more
than 500 beautiful trees in the
Tidal Basin area to make way for
the Thomas jefferson Memorial
can be prevented only by an ap-
peal to the courts within the next
nine days, aroused citizens learned
today.
That such an appeal will be
made before bids for construction

opened by National Parks Office
officials November 81 at 2 p. m. ap-
peared a foregone conclusion.
Waggdmdn to Aid
Wolcott Waggaman, Washing
ton architect who pioneered in
the fight to save the cherry trees
when the Tidal Basin site was
first proposed, volunteered to aid
IN legal 1lgnC.
II will be glad to join in an
appeal for an injunction to pre-
vent the destruction of the
trees" Waggaman said. There
is no valid excuse for destroying
them"
Mrs. Leslie Boudinet Wright.
president of the Forest Hills Citi-
zens Association and a member of
the District Bar, was studying legal
precedents today preparing to file
suit for a restraining order against
the Thomas jefferson Memorial
Commission and the National
Parks Service if that step is neceS-
sary.
Little hope of presidential in
tervention to save the doomed
cherry trees was held by local
beauty lovers. 1t was pointed out
that the President flatly refused
to recommend alteration of me-
mortal plans last year when they
called for destruction of more
cherry trees than the number
doomed now.
Secretary of Interior Ickes, who
has supervision over the National
Parks Office, has refused to in
tervene, shifting all responsibility
to Congress.
