These are busy days for city planners,
thanks largely to the program of public
works launched as part of the Federal
Governments latest recovery drive
Municipal and private architects and
builders in many sections of the country
are finding little time for vacation this
summer as they seek to speed construc-
ton on wide variety of public projects
Haste has been the watchword of
Public Works Administrator Ickes in his
natural desire to get the "spend-for-
recovery campaign under way with a
minimum Of delay. Local officials have
endeavored to attune the District pro-
gram to the quick tempo set by Federal
authorities.
Fortunately, there need be no fears
that this demand for haste will result in
haphazard construction or incoherent
development of the Capital. The prof.
ects contemplated under the proposed
$4,000, 900 program for Washington have
been long advocated and carefully
thought out by municipal of1cials-and
now they have become the subject OF
special scrutiny by those two invaluable
safeguards against fre} }ASh and dis

DIR. Truman Nicholson.

When English colonists first settled
on the eastern shores of North America
they encountered, from Hudson's Bay
to North Carolina, a race of Indians
known as Algonquins. These Algon-
quins themselves were relatively recent
immigrants out of the Far North. They
were, on the whole, a rather primitive
lot of redmen relative to North Ameri-
can Indian culture in general. For the
most part they were peaceful and
friendly until they learned from the
white man the gentle art Of scalping.
This was the race of King Philip and
Powhatan and Pocahontas. They taught
the newcomers their simple arts, fed
them with their corn and venison, saved
their lives with their herb remedies
They intermarried with the whites and

Fine Arts and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
These commissions are confronted
with formidable array of plans as a
result of the appropriation by the past
Congress of more than $56,0OO,000 for
public construction in the metropolitan
area. In addition to passing on plans
for new Federal buildings here and in
nearby Maryland. the groups will con-
slider several of the local P. w. A. prof.
ects, the Jefferson Memorial plans and
numerous highway and park proposals.
In the midst Of all this planning it is
to be hoped that the guardians of order

tinue to stress the eastward march of

ton lie great opportunities for future

whisky they had left a permanent inn
preston on the manners, ways OF think
ing and ways Of life Of the Nation which
is now the United States of America.
1t is dinacult to appreciate, without
long study, how many elements OF
American institutions go back to Algon-
quin roots. One man in Washington
devoted lifetime to the study of the
folkways and language of this people.
He delved into obscure recesses OF learn
ing in carrying out his researches. He
came to know more about the Algon-
quins than any other man living.
This man was DR.. Truman Nicholson
of the Smithsonian Institution, whose
untimely death yesterday leaves a gap
which can never be filled in the ranks
of American learning. Like so many
specialists, he carried to the grave with
him great deal of knowledge which
never can be recovered.
For more than a decade he was the
professor Of anthropology at George
Washington University. In this capac-
ity he was the preceptor of hundreds
in a much wider field of learning--the
study of man himself. his physical make
up, his racial differences, his ways of
thinking. He strove valiantly and sue
cessfully to wipe out of the minds of his
pupils the prejudices and dogmas which
so many carry through life with them.
He was one OF those rare individuals
of whom 1t may truthfully be said that
his place never can be filled.
