Historic Cannon to Be Drafted
To Serve Nation as Scrap

Some of the q historic cannon
which so long have adorned the
lawns of the State Department
Building will give their metallic lives
for their country in the hungry
steel furnaces.
How many will make the supreme
sacrifice had not been determined
today, and a spokesman at the Fed
eral Works Agency said some un-
doubtedly will be spared for the
historic record. A number were used
in the Revolutionary War.
The War Department and the Pub
lie Buildings Administration of
FWA have agreed, however, that at
least some of the ancient guns will
be turned in as scrap. Details have
yet to be worked out, it was re-
ported. A committee is expected to
inspect the cannon carefully, look
up the records so far as they are
known and save those of the great
est historic import.
Includes CORVALLIS H0witzer.
The pieces include a bronze how
itzer surrendered by CORVALLIS at
Yorktown in 1881. Four of the
cannon were captured at Santiago,
Cuba, during the Spanish-American
War, in 1898. Another piece was
taken when Fort Sumter, S. c., was
recaptured by Union forces late in
the Civil War.
Some of the guns, according to
Washington historians, have stood
about the building ever since it was
built. The southern front was COM
pleted in 1875 and used first by the
State Department when Hamilton
Fish was Secretary of State. The
entire structure was finished in 1883
and occupied by the State, War and
Navy Departments. The three de-
partments continued to use it, at
least in part, until recent years.
Today it houses only the State De-
partment.
The Army has turned over many
old guns, obsolete tanks and other
worn-out equipment to the scrap
drive. Each command has directed
its own salvage campaign, and every
military post in the country has
yielded some scrap.
