ment to the charter of our freedom and
his reasoned loyalty to its principles. =.
1t Is a symbol of the allegiance and
fidelity of those who, born abroad, now
call America their country Many state
papers of jefferson will be on exhibit at
the Archives.
Paintings OF Jefferson and Of his con-
temporaries will be included in the ex-
hibit which will be presented by the
National Gallery Of Art.
The Jefferson Statue.
The heroic statue Of Jefferson in the
memorial is an original by the sculptor
Rudolph Evans, but, due to wartime
shortage of bronze, the figure now in
place is of plaster painted bronze color,
and is temporary. The permanent statue
will be cast after the war.
The statue stands on a pedestal In
marble lined central circular chamber
80 feet in diameter beneath a great
domed ceiling which is 100 feet above
the floor. Marble seats beneath each
of the four panel Inscriptions on the
wall offer rest to the Jefferson adnirer
who wants to contemplate.
The principal facade of the memorial.
located on the north side, looks across
the Tidal Basin toward the Towering
cherry trees, the Washington Monu-
ment and the White House. The portico
is eight columns wide and two bays deep
surmounted by a low pediment On the
pediment is sculptural group depicting
Jefferson reading draft of the Declara-
ton of Independence to committee Of
the Continental Congress. This group
is by the sculptor Adolph A. Weinman.
The entire circular, pantheon-type
structure is based on a so-called circular
stylobate consisting of steps and broad
terraces. From the portico the main
steps lead down to the paved plaza which
extends to the Tidal Basin seawall.
This memorial architecture is modi-
flcaion of the original design by the late
John Russell Pope, who was influenced
by Jefferson's much evidenced admira-
ton for the pantheon type OF structure.
The Memorial Design.
Explaining the design to the memorial
commission, Mr. Pope said:
Immediate consideration is given to
the evidence of Jeffersons aesthetic

immortalized on the walls Of the new
memorial He wanted to be remem-
bered for his fight for freedom. He said
so in his own epitaph. He was proudest
of his achievements as principal author
of the Declaration of independence,
author of the Virginia statute Of religious
freedom and for having founded the
University of Virginia. All these have
been given expression in his own words.
The name of Deity appears several times
about the memorial hall.
While the design Of the pantheon-type
structure outside reflects the spirit OF
Jefferson's architecture, his heroic statue
stands inside the high-domed room sur
rounded by words redolent Of his al
truistic dreams for the betterment of
man.
Around the circular frieze Of the en-
tablature near the dome, high over his
head, runs the sentence, cut into stone:
"1 have sworn upon the altar Of God hos
tility against every form OF tyranny over the
mind Of man
On the four panels around the me-
mortal hall appear inscriptions in bronze
letters, standing out in bold bas-relief.

densed selections from the Declaration
Of independence, his professions Of re-
ligious freedom, his championship Of
education, anita agonism to slavery.
His Attack on Slavery.
God, who gave us life, gave us liberty, y
begins his statement on slavery Can
the liberties of Nation be secure when
we have removed a conviction that these
liberties are the gift OF God? Indeed, I
tremble for my country when reflect
that God is just, that His mercy cannot
sleep forever. Commerce between mas
ter and slave is despotism. Nothing is
more certainly written in the book OF
fate than that these people are to be
free. Establish the law for educating the
common people. This 1t Is the business
Of the state to effect and on a general
plan"

other panel: Almighty God hath Gre

and guard it through the National Park
Service and National Capital Parks,

Our National Cult.
The three great patriots who are me-
morialized in the great cross were men
who, according to Senator Ebert D.

some OF the firm foundations upon which
has been built in this democracy what
he calls "our national cult"

times author; successful diplomat,
founder OF institutions, participant in all
the affairs Of man, uncompromising de-
fender of freedom; prototype OF the
democracy he dreamed and planned

corners Of our national cult"

While the memorial itself epitomizes
the ideals of Jefferson, and will be the
cynosure of national attention this week,
there will be fascinating personal docu-
ments, books. papers and pictures Of the
many-faceted genius made available to
the public here in at least three different
places.
The Library Of Congress, the National
Gallery of Art and the National Archives
are cooperating in the presentation Of
special programs and exhibits.
The Declaration.
Jefferson's own original draft of the
Declaration Of independence will be the
center of interest in the Library's first
public exhibition Of all known drafts OF
this famous document. of which Jeffer-
son justly was so proud.
The official engrossed document, bear
ing signatures of the Sc signers, which
had been transferred from the Depart
ment Of State to the Library OF Congress,
will be on exhibit at the Jefferson Me-
mortal for the dedication Tuesday, and
a few days afterward, under 24-hour
armed guard, it was announced by
Archibald MacLeish, the librarian Of
Congress.
But from the point Of view Of the
Jefferson celebration, said the librarian,
the rough draft of the declaration is
perhaps more interesting than the en-
crossed original on parchment. This
draft in Jeffersons handwriting repre-
sents the original form Of the document
together with nearly all of the amend
ments made between the time Jefferson
submitted it to the committee Of five who
were appointed to draft such declara-
ton on June II, 1776, and the 4th OF

County Planning Urged.
His proposal envisions for the du
ration of the war county planning
of farms under a so-called factory
system. To meet the immediate
emergency. he advocated a SlOO, ,O0O.-
900 Federal fund to insure farmers
against crop losses through failure
to obtain manpower for harvesting
crops
This action would be supplemented
by the sending of instructions to all
county agricultural agents and
county farmers organizations to
plan the farmin.. of their county as
a unit. The objective would be that
crops shall be planted in the most
favorable soil and that the largest
possible fields be cultivated instead
of several small ones Col. Sanders
said.
From Bolivar Pagan. resident COM

Nathan Mayo, Floridas commits
sioner Of agriculture. yesterday ap-
pealed to Prentiss Brown, OPA ad-
ministrator, to abandon the princi-
pie of fixing ceiling prices on perish
able fresh vegetables.
Termng such ceiling prices as IAN
lllusionary proposition and en-
tirely fantastic. implausible and i'm
possible" Mayo informed Brown
that he was afraid the production
of perishable vegetables and berries
will be sharply curtailed as growers
realize that satisfactory production
cannot be attained under price CELL
ings"
With existing, conditions of war
limitations on all necessary ele-
ments for production, combined with
the usual natural hazards such as
freezes. floods, storms, droughts and
insects. a fixed maximum price will

in which the new program is oper
ating. The buying habits of about
5000 representative housewives will
be reported weekly through the
Census Bureau. Selected groups of
retailers all over the country will
keep OPA informed as to local sup
ply conditions and problems en-
countered in handling the rationed
items.
Provision will be made for ranch
ers, farmers, prospectors and others
who customarily buy food ahead. to
apply to local boards for permission
to purchase meat, cheese. etc, to
last over a long period Of time.
Just as they do in processed foods,
boarding houses will operate under
the pooled book" plan-they will
buy with red stamps obtained from
the books of boarders.
Registration of retailers and whole
salers will be held in the period
between May and IA.
Harold B. Rowe, in charge of
food rationing at the OPA, said the
allotments will be proportionately
more generous than the limits put
earlier this month on canned, frozen
and dry fruits and vegetables
The meat ration" he said prob
ably will be more than many low
income families will be able to
afford. although less than the aver
age purchases of middle or high
/ income families
In the light of existing rationing
programs. the new plan will bring
restrictions to the largest part of
the typical American diet. Still
unrationed on the basis of today's
| announcement will be milk. cereals,
fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery
goods, and numerous specialties
such as relishes
