LEXINGTON, Va, Aug. 8.-Capt.
Greenlee D. Letcher, who COM
manded Battery F, l11th Field Ar
tillery, 29th Division, in the World
War, said today he did not believe
the Junk value of a captured Ger
man cannon, placed on the court
house square to mark the home sta
ton of the "Rockbridge Battery" F"
would justify destruction OF the gun.
Organization of the battery was
sponsored by Confederate Veterans
of Lexington and it was named after
the famous Confederate "Rockbridge
Battery"
I'VE do not believe" Capt. Letcher
said, that it's value as junk would
Justify the destruction of this beau
tiful apd splendid commemoration,
especially at this time. Such con-
vincing testimony of the solidarity
of our country, we do not believe
should be destroyed or forgotten.
IF its value as junk would be
ascertained and estimated, 1t is very
certain that this amount would be
at once raised and sent to the Gov
eminent rather thar, that this mon
ument should be aremoved or de-
stroyed."

Protest Brings Hearing on Site
For Virginia Bus Terminals
A.,B.&W Reported Agreeable to Change,
But A. & F. Enters Objection

After receiving Mr.. Lanes pro-
tests, the PUG yesterday ordered
the hearing. Meanwhile members
Of the CO.. -ordinating Committee
argued that much of the benefit
would be lost If terminals for both
companies were not moved to points
south of the Avenue.
Reason for Opposition.
Mr.. Lane has argued that A. e. F.
passengers would have to walk
farther to board the buses, and that
the line might lose some of it's
passengers to competing companies.
He also said it might be impossible
to have convenient telephone service
at the proposed site on Tenth street
for the use of the company's bus
Starters"
The Co-ordinating Committee
plan for the old Post Office Building
terminal involves laying a series of
three concrete bus loading plat
forms, one rs feet long, the middle
one 120 feet long, and the one near
est the building ITO feet long. The
present curb line would be set back
a little more than feet, leaving the
width of the sidewalk between the
building and the new curb rs feet.
The A. B. & w. buses would enter
one of the three traffic lanes be-
tween the loading platforms and
other traffic making a right turn
from Twelfth street into Pennsyl-
vania avenue, would swing around
the outlying platform. For the pro-
tecki0n OF pedestrians, the safety
island at the southwest corner Of
the intersection would be enlarged
and a new safety island would be
erected in Twelfth street south OF
Pennsylvania avenue.
The cost of the new terminal In
front of the Old Post once De-
partment, officials said, would be
split between the bus company and
the District.

A hearing on plans to establish

vania avenue urged to reduce mile
age and relieve traffic congestion,
will be held by the District Public
Utilities Commission at 10 am. Au-
gust 20, in the board room Of the
District Building. ..
Acting on recommendations of the
District Co-ordinating Committee,
the PUG few days ago ordered de-
velopment of bus terminal in the
highway triangle in front of the old
Post Office Department Building,
on the south side OF Pennsylvania
avenue between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets NV.
The PUG left consideration of use
Of the projected facilities for later

Mile and Half Of Pine

Suburban Sanitary Body
Is Forced to Hold Up
Wheaton Project

About a mile and a half of cast
iron 14-inch pipe belonging to the
Washington S burba a n Sanitary
Commission is lying idle, exposed to
the elements, on Georgia avenue at
Wheaton, Md, because the War Pro-
duction Board can't make up its
mind whether to authorize the COM
mission to use it.
Harry B. Shaw, deputy engineer
Of the Sanitary Commission, said the
commission had intended to lay the
pipe from Wheaton to Glenmont as
a water line, but has been unable
to obtain permission from the WPB.
The pipe was placed at Wheaton
several months ago, he added.
Il called the WPB yesterday" Mr..
Shaw said, land officials there sug-
gested the pipe remain where it is
until they determine whether to ap-
prove its use as water line. l don't
know what will happen to it,"
Says Consumers Are Few.
C. Crenshaw of the WPB Power
Division, who said he had talked
with Mr.. Shaw concerning DISPOSE
ton Of the pipe, indicated the COM
mission may be ordered to sell it for
use on some other more necessary"
project. e.s
The principal reason for our dis
approval of the commissions use of
the pipe as a water line" Mr.. Cren-
shaw explained, was that it seemed
so much pipe for so few consumers .
Sanitary Commission officials
said, however, 1t was intended to
lay the pipe to a standpipe near
Wheaton, which would increase wa
ter pressure in that area. Thus
the pipe would serve not only those
along the line but everyone in the
Wheaton area.
Shortage Of Materials.
At present materials cannot be
obtained either for the Wheaton
standpipe or for the proposed stand
pipe at Suitland, they added.
Similar difficulties exist in the
construction of a filter plant at
Laurel and a pipe line from Lau-
rel to Beltsville to handle water
from the new commission dam at
Brighton.
Water from the dam flows down
the Patuxent River to Mink Hol-
low, near Ashton, where it is pumped
over to the Northwest Branch. The
branch goes to the Burnt Mills filter
plant. Sanitary Commission Of
ficials said water from the dam,
supplementing the supply from the
Northwest Branch, would make it
possible to operate the filter plant
at full capacity.

Roosevelt Endorsing
 United Jewish Drive
Distribution Committee Already Has Aided 5000 to
 Escape From Europe to Free Countries

President Roosevelt yesterday urged generous support of the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees. Overseas Needs and Palestine as a means of reinforcing "the humani- tarian front as a vital sector in our war effort. In Q letter addressed to Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, a National chairman of the United Jewish Ap- peal, which is the single furd-rais- ing instrument for the Joint Dis- tribution Committee, United Pales- tine Appeal and National Refugee Service, the Chief Executive empha- sized that "in these days when in- humanity and cruelty are taking toll of SO many innocent victims throughout the world, 1t is more than ever necessary for us to uphold the ideal of helpfulness to others. President Roosevelt sent his messages as campaigns in 1900 com munities throughout the country neared their climax in an intensive effort to provide funds for war re- lief activities in Allied and neutral countries in Europe and other parts of the world, the defense and up- building of the Jewish homeland in Palestine and provision for refugee adjustment to the American war effort. These far-flung rescue and resettlement programs are being carried on by the Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service which are represented in the United Jew ish Appeal campaign.
 Organizations such as the United Jewish Appeal are giving concrete evidence, the President declared, of the determination of free men that persecution, homelessness, and racial discrim' nation shall be banished." The following is the text of Pres- ident Roosevclts letter:
