Library of Congress Statues
Offered as Scrap by Hooxer
Junk Dealer Sent to
Building Finds It's
Some Ones S Idea Of Fun

The practical joker who phoned
the D. c. Salvage Committee yester-
day and offered up l6 bronze statues
in the Congressional Library for the
scrap campaign had better make
himself scarce.
At least three officials-W. C.
Bond, superintendent of the Library;
David Lynn, architect of the Capitol,
and Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the D. c. Salvage Com
mittee-are looking for him.
The mysterious call came through
to MIR. Walkers Office yesterday
morning. The caller identified him.
self as superintendent of the Con-
gressional Library" according to Mr..
Walker.
I'VE have 16 bronze statues.
Come up and get EN-"
Mr.. Walkers Office reported send
ing Meyer Brenner, a retail junk
dealer, to the scene to lay plays for
removing the statues
But it was all news to Mr.. Bond
He not only said he did not make a
phone call offering up the likeness
Of Shakespeare. Moses, Columbus,
ETC., but he wouldn't have the au-
thority to make such an offer.
II think it would take an act of
Congress to remove those statues"
said Mr.. Bond. In any event, I
think Mr.. Lynn would have to be
consulted"
Mr.. Lynn, architect of the Capitol,
who has charge of the structural
and mechanical care Of Library of
Congress buildings, among others,
said he had not authorized dona-
ton of the statues to the scrap cam
paign and pointed out that such an
offer would first have to come to the
attention Of the Joint Congressional
Committee on the Library.
The statues, which total approx
mately 40 tons, were installed as
architectural features of the library
when the building was completed
in 1897, according to Mr.. Bond.
Each statue cost approximately S.
900.
They stand about feet high and
are on the railing inclosing the GAL
lery floor and overlooking the read
ing room.

mobilized to cover an area which
geographically is equivalent to one
half the District, but which houses
two thirds OF the population.
Whether collections will exceed the
estimated l ,638 900 pounds picked up
in the eastern half the District last
week is a question on which salvage
heads do not wish to commit them
selves.
Counter balancing the heavy pop
ulation figure, it is pointed out by
William A. Xanten, District refuse
chief, is the fact that there are
many apartment houses in the
Northwest area which cannot be ex-
pected to produce accumulated sal
vageable scrap metal.
1t is hoped that today's drive will
at least equal last Sundays effort
during which 936 truck loads of
scrap were accumulated at the de-
pots. Final and authentic figures
on last Sundays drive, hoped to be
available by last Thursday, will not
be ready until Tuesday, Mr.. Walker
said last night.
Junk dealers will collect and sort
todays accumulations at the emer-
gency depots, will keep detailed re-
ports of the amounts collected, will
sell the collections to the whole
salers, who in turn will sell and ship
the scrap to the mills
Benefits from the original sale Of
the scrap to retail dealers will 20
to the salvage groups in whose areas
the emergency depots were set up.
Mr.. Walker wished to underscore
the point that junk dealers buy the
scrap. They do not receive 1t free.
I know of many people," he said,
who have offered the scrap free to
junk dealers. I know of no in

collected in last Sundays whirlwind
drive in the eastern half OF the
city.
I'VE can bog down." Mr.. Walker
warned. I'VE won't bog down if
everyone pitches in and contributes
his share, no matter how small. If
a person has just one item to give
to the scrap metal drive, we hope
he gives that one item.
Hundreds of thousands of little
items will put the drive over bigger
than few large items. We can't
miss If everyone joins in the
drive"
Plans for today's collections con-
stitute q rough duplication of the
technique used a week ago in North
east and Southeast areas.

Today, however, 36 emergency
scrap depots will receive the &C
