NEARLY FINISHED THE $3,ooo,Ooo MEMORIAL WILL OPEN NEXT SPRING
BY MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Washington, October 17--Thomas Jefferson, whose very name is a symbol of simple democracy, want ed no more recognition of his great services after death than a plain gravestone, modestly in- scribed, on the grounds of Month cello, his Virginia home.
 But next spring, the President, Congress, American and foreign government and civilian dignitar- les will join In dedicatlng here the magnificent $S,Ooo,OOO Jefferson Memorial.
 Jefferson thereby becomes the third of a trinity of great presidents thus honored here by the will of the nation. The others are of course, Washington, with, his tow ering monument and Lincoln, with his lovely Greek temple enshrining an overlapping statue of the mar tyr.
 JEFFERSON CHOSE
 A SIMPLE MEMORIAL
 Jefferson had been a member of the Continental Congress Governor of Virginia, Minister in Europe to negotiate treaties, Vice President of the United States, and twice Pres- ident, and the mover of the bold scheme by which the vast Louisiana territory was added to the United States. But by his own will, none of these achievements is recorded on his gravestone, which reads:
 Here was buried Thomas Jeffer- son, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Sta- ute of Virginia for Religious Free dom and Father of the University of Virginia

 On December IS, 1888, President Roosevelt broke ground for the memorial at the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park.
 f But this did not occur until af- ter a great outcry from some res- idents of Washington. Along the Tidal Basin ore planted the ia nous cherry trees, gift of the Jap- anese government, whose spring blooming draws thousands of visl- tors to the city.
 Some of the trees would have to be cut down or removed If the mem orial were to be beside the Tidal Ba- sin. A regular "saye-Those- Trees" campaign started; but the authorities remained firm, Actually, only 4e cherry trees were moved and s5, too old to move, were cut down. When the Tidal Basin shore line is chang ed, more will be moved and cut down, but a lot of new ones will be planted when the memorial is con- pleted.

Bennett Urges Use
OF Released Prisoners
In Defense Effort
Prison Bureau Director
Tells Rehabilitation Unit
Effort Can Benefit

James V. Bennett, director Of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, declared
yesterday at the 18th annual meet
ing of the Bureau of Rehabilita-
ton that defense efforts must be
extended and that, regardless of
feelings, those trained in prisons
should have an opportunity to do
their share for national defense.
He told the group in the Y. w.
c. A. that between $4,000 and $4,000
inmates each year are liberated from
correctional institutions. These
members of society, he said. can be
used and absorbed in industry to
great degree.
Declaring that there should be
in this country no mercy killings
such as dictators decree, he said
through a thoughtful program,
these people can be used" and he
called for full study of case his
tories.
Many law violators can be placed
in military service if they only had
a minor charge against them. How
ever, he pointed out the Navy still
refuses to recruit men with a rec
ord. He added, there is a tremen-
dous responsibility on the Rehabili-
tation Bureau, but we can do the
work"
Mr.. Bennett noted that of 16,000,-
900 eligible for draft, less than $50
were jailed because of refusal to
register. This, he said. was an indi-
cation that the Nation was defense
conscious.
While prisoners are willing to do
defense work, he added, local agen-
cies can do a great deal to rehabili-
tate the individual for defense work.
Defense efforts, he stated, can profit
from the manhood of our inStitu-
tions" Mr.. Bennett suggested that
volunteers be trained to assist those
returning to society.
Joseph Dayton, organization preSi-
dent, reported on the years work
and noted that the defense program
had opened new fields of employ
ment for those leaving Jail. He
remarked that when a former in
mate gets into trouble, they need
help. The Rehabilitation Bureau
has been giving aid to from 200 to
300 month.
The presiding officer was G. How
land Shaw, assistant Secretary of
State. who explained the organiza-
ton was started by the Washington
Council of Social Agencies and the
Community Chest.

1t is not difficult to recognize this

six dark spots that resemble tiny
buttons. The spider is dark green
ish gray with white band on
either side extending the whole
length of the body and two rows
of white spots on the surface of
the abdomen. 1t was the presence
of the six dots on the sternum that
suggested the specific name. That

basket is a pure white silk color,

is fastened by drag line of clear
white silk. 1t is further attached
to the spinnerets by strong cables.
Shortly before the young spider

This has been found to be caused by
