AT Treasury, Dies.
New Deals Key
Figure Expires
At 54

Herman Oliphant, general coun-
sci of the Treasury Department
and key figure in the New Deal
since 1888, died this morning in the

Oliphant was stricken with a
feart attack at his home on De-
cember 81 and rushed to the hos
pital. His recovery was expected
until he suffered a relapse last
night. He was 81 years old.
Came Here in 1888
Oliphant came to Washington
in March of 1888 with Secretary
Of the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, jr., when the latter was
named Governor of the Farm
Cedit Administration. He moved
to the Treasury Department with
Morgenthau and was named gen
eral counsei early in 1884.
One of the few survivors of the
oiginal group of New Deal brain
trusters, Oliphant is credited
with perfecting virtually all OF
the Administrators new laws
touching on fiscal policies.
Born in Indiana
He drafted the undistributed
profits tax bill, and perfected

ilization agreement.

caused a nationwide stir a few

When we think of Benjamin
Franklin as the experimenter in

devices to make human life simpler

But it was in the field of political
philosophy that Jefferson's signifi-
canoe is transcendent.
He lived as we live in tce midst
of a struggle between rule by the
self-chosen individual or the self
appointed few, and rule by the
franchise and approval of the many.
He believed as we do that the aver

The tert OF President Roose-
celfs address at the laying OF the
JeDerSon Memorial cornerstone
yesterday tolloDs::
I'm the earliest days of the Re-
public under the Constitution the
representatives of the several States
were in substantial agreement that
national capital should be founded
in a Federal district set apart from
the jurisdiction of any individual
State. This purpose was in a true
sense symbol of a realization OF
national unity; and the final loca-
ton of the national capital pro-
claimed a proper compromise be-
tween the interests of the North.
the South, the seaboard and the
interior. as they existed at the
time.
In all of the hundred and fifty
years of our existence as a con-
stitutional Nation many memorials
to its civil and military chiefs have
been set up here. But it has been
reserved to two of these leaders
to receive special tribute in the
Nations capital by the erection OF
national shrines perpetuating their
memories over and above the ap-
probation and regard rendered to
other great citizens of the Repub-
lie.
To-day we lay the cornerstone of
third great shrine-adding the
name of Thomas Jefferson to the
name of George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln.
Il have spoke of the national
character of the District of Co.
Mmbia itself, a capital which rep
resents today the vitality, not of
13 Atlantic seaboard States, but of
48 States which encvompass the
width of our continent.
Many sided Interests.
"This vitality envisages many
sided interests, and it is, therefore,
fitting that among hundreds of
monuments to famous Americans
the three great shrines are dedicated
to men of many sided qualities.
