MARINE MEMORIAL
WORK IS WEIGHED
Park Officials Study Placing
Earth Embankment Around
Base of Statue.

Officials of the National CAPITAL
Parks are studying the possibility of
placing an earthen embankment
around the base of the Navy and
Marine Memorial at the south end of
Columbia Island. on the Mount YER
non Memorial Highway, C. Marshall
Flnnan, superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, said yesterday.
The purpose of the embankment, he
explained. would be to give the memo
rial "a finished appearance"
The association which erected the
memorial is now without sufficient
funds to complete it. Mr.. Finnan has
been Informed. Originally, the plans
were TO place green New HAMPSHIRE
granite around the base of the memo
rial, Stimulating the sea. But for MANY
years now, the base has remained in
an unfinished condition and officials
OF the National Park Service con-
slider it unsightly.

proved the placing of a flll around
the base OF the memorial, with ap-

said yesterday.
Begnl del Plata Of New York, sculp-
tor for the memorial, last week was
IN conference with Mr.. Finnan and
ne took with him plans for the earthen
MI to show to the architect, Harvey
wiley Corbett of New York.
Mr.. Finnan made it clear that his
office also is without funds to place
the NIL around the memorials base,
The memorial association has recentlv
endeaVored to secure funds from Con-
gress with which to complete the
granite pedestal, but apparently thus
TAR unsuccessfully.
Because of this condition, the Ma
tlonal Park Service has now laid
down the rule that in the future or
carnations planning to erect memo
rails here will have to show the Gov
ernment that they have all the money
they need actually in hand before con-
struction is permitted.

most of them that anybody who

They have system now. After
each round the referee announces
the leader in that stanza and the
result is posted. like when the Yam
KEGS get through batting and they
tack up eight runs on the score

The scheme is very worthwhile,
mainly because it gives the Gus
toners a chance to howl and yowl
for 10 straight rounds instead of
having to be content with just one
big boo at the finish of a match.
And the referee, too who easily
could survive this one blast of dis
approval and also duck the morning
sports pages if things had gone sour
the night before. now can show his
ability to absorb punishment for
nearly an hour and still hold his
