Desertions Impair
Value Of French Ships
Says Crews Are Needed
To Man Vessels When

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A high United States official has
expressed the view that French SAIL
ors who have been leaving the bat
tleship Richelieu and other French
warships in American harbors to
fight under Gen. Charles De Gaulle
are hindering the United Nations
war effort.
This official said yesterday the
United States attaches great i'm
portance to the rehabilitation of the
French ships and does not intend to
have their future usefulness frus-
trated by the wholesale desertion Of
the crews.
The Richelieu and other ships
were brought to this country for re-
pairs, this source explained, and the
United States is helping to rehabili-
tate them for battle against the
Axis. 1t expects them to be ex-
tremely useful in the common war
effort. Sailors leaving these ships,
however, are reducing their eff
cheney and hampering their reha-
bilitation. the official said.
immigration authorities already
have detained number of men
who left ships, but more than 100
others have arrived in Halifax as
recruits for the Fighting French
forces.

Circus Midget
Episode Recalled

The death of J. P. Morgan today
recalled an incident that gave the
Nation laugh a decade ago, when
the flnancier, the unwilling dupe
OF circus press agent. was photo
graphed at a Senate hearing with
a woman midget from the circus on
his knee.
. Mr.. Morgan was seated outside
the hearing room where the affairs
Of his company were under scrutiny,
awaiting the end OF an executive
session OF the Banking Committee,
when tiny Miss Lya Graf approached
and greeted him. Always courteous,
Mr.. Morgan leaned over to talk to
her, and then as he sat upright
the press agent hoisted the mite to
his lap-to the accompaniment Of
clicking cameras.
For a moment the financier was
v1sibly annoyed and spectators
roared. Then Mr. Morgan regained
his composure and appeared to take
the affair in good part, as the midget
slid down and departed
Advised of the incident, the COM
mittee ordered that the pictures not

ing art treasures appraised at $20,-
53l 500. The fathers will expressed
a wish that part of this collection
should go to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum OF Art. where much of it had
been on exhibition for more than 20
years, and to memorial library at
Hartford, Conn. He specified, how
ever, that the son should not be
legally or morally bound" to dis
pose of the treasures in any other
way than he saw At.
The son, despite this provision
caused some surprise when he sold
collections of Chinese porcelain, Fra
gonard paintings and French 18th
Gentry furniture for approximately
100000. But in accordance with
the elder Morgan's desire a con-
siderable portion Of the whole was
given to the Metropolitan Museum
and to the Hartford library.
Fairfax Got Historic Will.
One item which caused much dis
cussion was printed document, the
will OF Martha Washington. The
son was asked to return it to the
records of Fairfax County, Va, and
there even was talk in the Legisla-
ture OF that State of a suit to re-
cover it. Mr.. Morgan obviated this
by sending the document to Virginia.
In February, 1924. he, as a memo
rial to his father, turned over to a
board Of trustees the library, its al
most priceless contents and the VAL
liable ground on which it stands in
Manhattan, Thirty sixth street,
between Madison and Park avenues
The trustees were instructed to
maintain it in perpetuity for the
use of scholars from all parts of
the world.
The collection. believed to be the
best in private hands, was valued at
100000. With it Mr.. Morgan gave
an endowment of $1,5OO,O0O, promis-
ing to add to it as occasion de-
manded
Charities Unpublicized.
In similar vein it was announced
in 1919 that he had given to the
British nation as memorial to his
father the latter's collection of
stained glass. 1t is housed in the
Victoria and Albert Museum in Lon
don. The next year Cambridge Uni
versity's collection of silver plate gilt
was enriched by a cup from the
Morgan collection made in 1911 and
valued at $25,000. In 1921 France
let it be known that Morgan donated
funds for restoration of the birth
place of Pierre Corneille, 17th CEN
tury dramatist.
The London residence of the elder
Morgan at 1915 Hyde Park was
turned over to the United States
Government in 1921 to house it's en-
bassy to the Court of st. James.
But, aside from these memorial
and public use gifts, little was known
of the Morgan philanthropy. How
ever, it was on record that he con-
tributed S2,000,00O to the Red Cross
during the World War. For several
years it was said that he made up
the annual deficits Of the Lying In
Hospital in New York with sums
ranging from s150.0O0 to s175,o0O.
The Broad Street Hospital also re-
ceived annual donations of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
He served as trustee of the Metro
politan Museum of Art, the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, the
New York Public Library, Cooper
Union and the New York Trade
School. He was governor of the
Peabody Donation Fund and Of the
Royal National Pension Fund for
Nurses in England.
