Must Be Based
On Golden Rule
Veterans Head Speaks
At Dedication Service
In Silver Spring

Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, ad-
ministrator of veterans affairs, yes
terday predicted victory for the
United Nations, but declared a per-
manent peace will be possible only
If those who wish for it are willing
to subscribe to and follow the gold
en- rule"
Gen. Hines spoke at the dedica-
tion OF service flag and honor roll
for members of the Grace Episcopal
Church, Silver Spring, Md, who are
serving their country. The flag con-
tains a star for each of SIS men in
the armed services and for two

two women are Miss Louise L.

Il need not remind you that our
Nation at this time faces the gravest
danger that it ever has been con-
fronted with" He asserted, how
ever, that "the full strength Of
America is just commencing to be
felt. On the field of battle it is no
longer blitZ in one direction" he
continued. I'VE read today of meet
lngs OF the dictators to plan defense

About Jefferson
Third Presidents Faith
In Young Republic
ForcefulIy Presented

Thomas Jefferson's life in dra-
matte form was presented at the
Coolidge Auditorium of the Library
of Congress last night with a special
production of Sergt. Sidney Kings
ley's play, THE Patriots" before an
audience that included members of
the cabinet, congressional leaders
and Government officials.
To confine the prologue, three acts
and seven scenes within the limited
area of the library stage required
the use of black cycle drapes and
impressionistic settings. But the
message OF Jefferson's faith in lib
erty and the cause of the Republic
was presented with striking vigor.
The Playwrights Co. contributed the
play at the invitation Of Archibald
MacLeish and members of the JET
ferson Centennial Committee.
Sergt. Kingsley makes Alexander
Hamilton the protagonist of Jeffer-
son and their feud while they were
members of Washington's cabinet
forms the motivating force of his
drama. The first Secretary of the
Treasury had little faith in the fu-
ture of the Colonies and the Re-
public as against the Secretary of
States sublime belief in Americas
destiny. In this respect the play is
controversial, and some of the good
Republicans in the audience were in
clined to resent the treatment. Be-
fore the curtain fell Sergt. Kingsley
softened the character and indicates
Hamilton had much to do with
breaking the congressional deadlock
which sent Jefferson to the White
House.
1t was an admirably equipped
company which presented THE
Patriots" so far as voice and dra-
matte emphasis were concerned.
Raymond Edward johnson gave an
inspiring reading of Jefferson's lines
and his fight for the exact wording
of the Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Johnson's forceful reading of a
portion of Jefferson's inaugural ad-
dress was a dramatic highlight.
House Jameson as Alexander Ham,
ilton, Edwin Jerome as George
Washington. Judson Laire as James
Monroe, Ross Madison as James
Madison, Thomas Dillon as Col.
Humphrey. Madge Evans as Jeffer-
sons daughter and Frances Reid as
his wife offered impressive char
acterizations.
The effect OF the play was
heightened by the incidental music
of the period played between entire
acts and at intermissions. Like the
actors these musicians contributed
their services; AL Pearl, Harry Lu-
bin, Theodore Lassoff, Nathan Ber-
mann and Arthur Lee.
After the performance, "The Pa
triots" was put aboard a train for
the return to New York. Members
of the cast feel certain that the
New York Dramatic Critics Circle
meeting tomorrow, will vote the Sid
ney Kingsley drama the best play
of the current Broadway season.

By HAROLD ROGERS.

A former Washington boy who
took business course at Tech High
School here under protest-because
he would rather be a sculptor-Was
standing at the feet of the statue he
had made of one of Americas great
est heroes-Thomas Jefferson
1t was the same small boy who
had burned his name with a hot
iron, 'Rudulph Evans" on a wooden
ruler at the old Bradley School, on
LinWorth place, and the teacher had
laughed at him because she thought
he didn't know how to spell his own
name
It was the same boy who had been
taken to the White House by his
friend. the Secretary of Agriculture,
j. Sterling Morton, and introduced
to President Grover Cleveland as a
lad who could make statue of the
Chief Executive. The President
promised to pose, never got around
to 1t, but was sculptured later by
Mr.. Evans into a bronze bust which
stands today in the Hall of Fame.
Since then Mr.. Evans has achieved
international fame as sculptor
himself He maintained a studio for
years in France.
Appreciates Assignment.
Looking up into the face of his
latest and probably most famous
statue. that of Thomas jefferson, in
the high-doomed memorial room of
the new Jefferson Memorial, to be
dedicated tomorrow, Sculptor Evans,
said quietly:
That was sacred assignment"
Explaining he considered the COM
mission to create statue of Thomas
Jefferson for the white marble me-
mortal as great responsibility"
Mr.. Evans said he worked so hard
on it that when he had finished, he
went to a hospital for two weeks.
But now he was standing there at
the foot of his statue peering up at
the face, about Is feet above the
marble floor.
Typified Democracy.
There was a strong man who was
100 per cent democracy" said the
sculptor. Look at that chin. I
tried to make that chin as nearly
expressive of the true Jefferson as
possible. had looked at many por-
traits, and all statues of the man.

ID. C.. Boy Who Dis|iked School
ScuIptured Jefferson Statue
Rudu|ph Evans Made Memorial
After Long Study of Patriots Life

I read many books and letters and
pamphlets on Jefferson. One of
these said he was a man of such
strong will that his chin was the
most expressive part Of his face. 1t
was described by one writer as Just
like dagger"
Pointing to Jefferson's hair, In the
statue, the sculptor explained it is
represented as he wore it, long,
drawn back at the neck. wrapped
in long piece of linen, which was
tied in a prominent bow.
In the statue Jefferson Is wearing
a great coat" of cashmere. lined
with fur with a large collar turned
up. like one given him by the Polish
patriot, Kosciusko This coat falls
in graceful folds down his back, and
rests at the bottom on two capitals"
similar to the stones on tops of
columns. These represent capitals
designed at Jefferson's suggestion by
Latrobe, architect of the Capitol
building, and carry designs of tobacco
and corn, Virginia products. 1t Is
touch OF Jefferson, the architect.
Born in Washington.
Jefferson is wearing low heel shoes,
with buckles lying fat on the instep,
long "woolen" stockings; knee
breeches, waistcoat, and a colonial
long tailed coat. His neckwear is
kind of stock.
Mr.. Evans was born in Washing
ton and lived as a boy on Vermont
avenue, between Thomas and Logan
Circles, and lived part of his boy
hood at Front Royal, Va His father,
Frank L. Evans, was disbursing
officer Of the Department of Agricul-
ture. His grandfather, Rudolph
Evans, for whom the sculptor is
named, is said to nave built the first
house in Chevy Chase. The name
Rudolph without any 20" is the
Welch spelling of a family which
came over on the boat with William
Penn.
The sculptor has brother, Lester
Evans. with the Federal Works
Agency, and a sister, Mrs. May King,
in Alexander. Mrs. Evans is with
him, here now, and two grandsons,
John Platt and Peter Platt, who are
both in the Army, will be here for
the dedication.

Landlords Must Go
To Court 10 Evict
Roomers, D. {. Holds
Effort to Conform
With Fire Regulations
Confronts Difficulties

Operators of rooming houses who
wish to evict roomers in order to
reduce the number above the first
floor to nine, in compliance with fire
regulations, will have to go to civil
branch of Municipal Court if the
roomers are unwilling to move, As
sistant Corporation Counsel E. w.
Thomas said today.
From District Rent Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell came word that
his Office could not protect tenants
from eviction from buildings found
by District authorities to be in viola
ton of the fire safety or other Dis
trict regulations and laws.
Mr.. Thomas said that if eviction
suits were unsuccessful, the oper-
ators would still be subject to prose-
cution where they have been denied
operators licenses due to failure to
comply with the fire regulations.
Roomers Enter Objection.
Mr.. Thomas, who is head of the
Municipal Court branch of the cor
poration counsel's office, said that so
far no such cases have come to court
since the District Commissioners
issued their crack down" order to
prosecute persons who operate ROOM
ing houses without licenses, which
they have been denied for failure to
comply with fire regulations. Copies
OF eviction suits will have to be filed
with the Rent Commission, under
the rent control law.
In one G street rooming house, the
operator resorted to drawing lots to
see which 5 of IA roomers would
be asked to move, in order to reduce
the number of roomers above the
first floor to 9, in an effort to comply
With regulations. The roomers,
meanwhile, are reported as being
determined to stay where they are
One OF those whose name was drawn
has been rooming at the house for
more than three years, it was ex-
planned.
Priority for Escape.
Roomlng house operators now will
oe given prlorltles for fire escapes
and other equipment to enable them
10 comply with the fire regulations,
under arrangements announced Sat-
urday by the District government.
Mr.. Cogswell made his position
clear today as result of the dis
pute over the attempt of the rooming
house proprietor to persuade some
OF her roomers to move. He ex-
planned the Emergency Rent Act
did not have such a purpose, and
that he could not take any steps
to interfere with the enforcement
OF the District laws.
A number of persons have called
the rent office, but have been told
the Rent Administrator would in
tervent in such cases. Up to noon,
however, there was no record of
any such appeal being made regard
ing the G street rcoming house case.

JENNIE MEMORIAL
WOULD HOOK UP
JUNEAU TO ALCAN

The House yesterday afternoon
passed by a IA to vote, Reps Al
aska Stewart Linck and Frank H.
Whaley dissenting, a memorial by
Rep. Crystal Snow Jenne, urging
that a complete survey of the route
of extending the Glacier Highway
from Eagle River to Echo Cove be
made, along with an estimate of
the cost of building ferry dock
for ferrying to Haines from Echo
Cove.
This is a substitute by the Roads
Committee for the original men,
orial which asked survey for ex-
tending the present road from
Eagle River to Echo Cove and on
to Haines.
The memorial is directed to Chief
Engineer Thomas H. Macdonald of
the Public Roads Administration,
Brig. Gen. James O'Connor, chief
of the Northwest Service Com
mand, and to Alaska Delegate An
thony j. Dimond.
Among reasons given for the
value of such a road are the fol-
lowing:
That 1.-The capital of the Terri
tory of Alaska, Juneau, is not at
present connected with the inter-
national highway system"
That extension of the highway
for another u miles would bring
it to Echo Cove ON Berner's Bay
and within easy ferrying distance
of Haines and the international
highway"
That there are in Juneau rec
ords OF great value to the entire
Territory as we'll as scientific and
historic museum relics which are
irreplacable and whose loss or dam
age would be a loss to the entire
world"
