struction Of WaShington's famed
cherry trees at the Tidal Basin,

ferso1 Memorial, the entire nation
is backing Washington citizens in
their fight to preserve the natural

was told that every one. every
where Is hoping they will be
spared. ~. .
Those who have visited the
Capital In spring and seen the
trees In full bloom, one Of the
most beautiful sights in the nation,
are especially reSentful at the
plan to cut them down to make
way for another non-useful
structure in city that is already
teeming with memorials and
statues.
BROADCAST EFFECTIVE
The nationwide broadcast last
Sunday night when a number Of
leaders in the move to save the
trees, revealed the situation to the
