Evening star., 1944-02-13

The second Inauguration ball was held
on Monday evening, March g. 1865, in
the north hall of the Patent Office.
During the Civil War President and
Mrs. Lincoln visited every fort, camp
and hospital around Washington. It
Was upon one of these visits of inspec-
ton and mercy that the President Wis
tied Chain Bridge to take up personally
the question of pardoning Pvt. William
Scott, condemned to be shot, Another
occasion was when he visited Fort

will furnish vital data on what eco
nomic demands can be made of the de-
feated enemy.
Little publicized so far, the Treas
ury's census was begun last June under
authority of the Trading With the En-
emy Act. Under an order issued by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, each Ameri-
can individual or corporation Is re-
quired to make complete report Of all
physical property 1t owns in foreign
lands as well as all tnventments in
stocks, bonds or other Intangible assets.
The Questions Asked.
A formidable QUESTIONABLE, designed
to delve into the remotest hooks and
crannies of the American financial en-
pire was compiled jointly by the Treas
ury, State and Commerce Departments
and the Office of Economic Warfare,
with the advice and cooperation of the
Army and Navy.
Some idea of the penetration and
scope Of the census can be gained by a
look at few of the sample questions
asked. All holders of an interest in
foreign property or securities are re-
quired to specify:
/. Their primary allied organization.
2. The types of business done by
them, including the principal products
or types of service rendered.
3. Principal properties OF foreign or
ganizations
4. Major products, physical volume Of
output, value of output and estimated
annual capacity of all manufacturing
plants.
S. The name of every organization
allied with the United States individual
or firm through its foreign associate.
6. The name, address, citizenship and
office of each director or trustee and
each of the principal executive officers
Of the foreign associate.
7. Whether the firm has any patent

are not safe where you are standing. As
I am responsible for your personal
safety, order you to come down."
Lincoln obeyed orders, but did not
leave the fort until it was certain there
was no danger Of Early capturing Wash
ington. An unusual incident OF this
engagement was that on the Confederate
side was Gen. John c. Breckinridge, who
had only few years before retired as
Vice President and who was q presiden-
tial candidate against Lincoln in 1860.
A bronze tablet erected in 1920 by the
survivors of the 9Th Army Corps marks
the spot where Lincoln stood at Fort
Stevens.
Gen. Wright is buried in Arlington.
He died at his home, 1903 N street NV,
adjoining the residence for years occu-
pied by Judge Arthur Macarthur, grand
father Of Gen. Douglas Macarthur Of
present World War fame.
In a little cemetery across the street
from Walter Reed Hospital lie the re-
mains of some of the Union soldiers
killed In this battle. It is called Battle
Ground National Cemetery, and on each
Memorial Day exercises are held here.
The Assassination
There is no intent at this time to refer
at length to the assassination which took
place on Good Friday night. April IA,
1865, followed by his death the next
morning at % minutes past 7. OF
course, always of much interest is the
building, still standing, in which the
revolving crime was committed. 1t is
at 5l1 Tenth street NV, and, at the
time of the assassination, was Ford's
Theater
The President and Mrs. Lincoln had
gone there to witness performance of
Our American Cousin" ACCOMPANYING
them were Miss Clara H. Harris, daugh-
ter Of United States Senator Ira Harris
OF New York, and her fiance, Maj. Henry
r. Rathbone Of the Army. Maj. Rath-
bone and Miss Harris were later married
and their son, Henry r. Rathbone, born
IN the District of Columbia, subsequently
served for years as Congressman from
the State of Illinois. And it so hap
pened that upon the occasion when the
bronze marker was erected on the Ford
Theater some years later, Mr.. Rathbone
delivered the historical address, and
later it was through his efforts that the
Oldroyd Lincoln collection, housed in
the building where Lincoln died. at SIG
Evening star., 1944-02-13

Tenth street, was purchased by the
Federal Government.
The Ford's Theater Building is now
and has been since shortly after the
death of Lincoln-the property of the
Government. Although John T. Ford,
the owner, was anxious and willing to
continue the theater business here.
he was practically forced to lease the
property to the Government, by Secre-
tary Stanton, who wanted the building
for War Department purposes. The
lease provided that the Government
might later purchase the property for
100000. the lease money to be deducted
from the purchase price. Afterward the
Government bought the property.
On this site the First Baptist congre-
cation erected about 1888 very nice
church for that period. Late in 1861
John T. Ford and others secured the

started buying instruments. Now the
agency has an 80-piece orchestra and
has loaned some of it's instruments to
other Government musical groups.
When you mention another orchestra
to the retired Government worker she's
inclined to nod and smile: "Oh, yes, they
have my tuba"
Some of the orchestras swap musi-
clans. If one orchestra has two French
horn players and can only use one and
another orchestra has an extra kettle
drum player, swap will be arranged.
A certain amount Of polite "pirating"
goes on, too.
Actually, although these orchestras
bear the names of Government agen-
cies, the musicians may come from
other agencies. man wants TO play
in the same orchestra as his roommate,
for instance. An orchestra may grow
out OF few organizers-a violinist, a
pianist and a drummer
Sometimes musicians play with a diff
ferent orchestra every night, moving
from one to the other just for the sake
of practice. Rooming house landlords
frown on tuba practice in the home.
The dozen or so Government Or
chestras aren't particularly interested
in giving concerts. They simply like to
practice together for the sake of the
music they can make. They play wher-
ever they can get space-usually In q
department cafeteria or lounge.
They have their hardships, too They
have more "dddlers" than violins, more
people who want to play horns than
horns to play, not enough scores. Their
love of music keeps the orchestras alive.
Music sprouts all over the Govern
ment scene. In addition to church Or
chestras, made up largely of Govern
ment workers, some 80 choral groups
have been organized in the Govern
ment. Then there are the girls in the
West Potomac Park dormitory who sit
on the floor and sing songs on Monday
nights, when man visitors are excluded.
And the choral group, made up Of girls
in the residence halls. who sing the

property and changed the old edifice into
a theater. 1t was destroyed by fire in
1862, and the present building opened as
theater by Mr.. Ford in August, 1863.
There are still living few witnesses
to the great Lincoln tragedy. There has
always been a difference of opinion as
to whether or not Booth used the words
"Sic semper tyrannis" upon that occa-
sion. Booth said he did, and a majority
of those making statements on the sub
ject agree that he did.
Across the street from the theater, at
516 Tenth street. is the house in which
Lincoln died. 1t was then owned and
occupied by William Petersen, well-to-
do tailor. Peterson sold it to Louis
Schade, lawyer and journalist, who
published there for many years the
Washington Sentinel, trade paper.
Evening star., 1944-02-13

officials see the present census as the
most painstaking and useful prepara-
ton the United States Government can
make in planning its postwar economic
policies
The United States, they point out.
will enter the postwar period as far
and away the leading creditor nation
Of the world, a position which it has
been achieving rapidly during the last
Is years. Until the present war broke
out, Great Britain shared with America
the role of worlds banker. But the
early years of the war, before America
entered, forced the British to cash in q
major part of their foreign holdings to
obtain exchange to buy essential goods.
They will emerge from the war with
their international balances and invest
ments radically pared down. Many Brit
ishish investments have passed into
American hands.
Economists in Washington today
hope to avoid many of the pitfalls into
which Our short-visioned policies
plunged us after the last war. Most
of them realize that no country can be
at the same time a creditor nation, an
exporting nation and a high-tari1
nation. They are convinced that the
only permanent international economic
system which will keep America pros
porous is one in which a free flow Of
trade will give our creditors the neces-
sary money to meet their obligations
here.
The complexities of postwar economic
planning are manifold. But the United
States Government will start this time
with one tremendous advantage which
it lacked in the early 1920s when no one
knew the intricate pattern of our finan-
cial relationship with other parts Of the
world.
AS a result of the Treasury survey,
we will have before us at least clear
pattern of the American financial en-
pire as it exists today.

music written by ore of their own
members.
And in one Of the residence halls the
girls have classical record session
every Thursday night after dinner.
With all this evidence of a hunger
for music in the largest single group Of
Washington residents, the National
Symphony Orchestra decided to match
the suggestions made by the Federal
recreation officials with action.
They wanted concerts at price they
could afford? The National Symphony
agreed to provide them. First step in
that direction will be the popular-priced
concert Wednesday evening at Constitu-
ton Hail. with music chosen by ballot
and the seats available only to Govern
ment workers. Next season the Ma
tional Symphony plans series of for
Government workers only" concerts.
They wanted more musical education?
The National Symphony has promised
to enlarge the popular National SYM
rhony Orchestra forum, previously
given at the Phillips Memorial Gallery
for about 100 music lovers who either
paid 81 or were admitted because they
had purchased season tickets for the
Sunday concerts.
These forums, where artists explain
the music to be heard at the next con-
cert, are to move from auditorium to
auditorium, available without charge to
much larger groups. The permanent
Government committee, headed by Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur s. Flem-
ming, has been named to Cooperate
with the symphony and keep the re-
quests Of Government workers current.
AS part of that cooperation, from
the reverse point of view, the Govern
ment workers who want music have
been asked to become partners" in the
orchestra by contributing to the or
chestra's current drive for 100000 to
carry on next season.
AS Mr.. Holmes put it at a rally for
Government workers launching the
drive:
I'VE are asking Federal workers to
make possible what the National Sym.
phony wants to do for uv."

pacity and management personnel OF
every foreign plant in which Americans
hold a financial interest, or which is
allied to them through any business
contract. This information is being sup
piled to the Army as rapidly as it can
be compiled, although Its use by the
military Is only small part of its reason
for being
In the imaginary case sketched above,
the executive officer was able to tell his
general about the store Of steel pipe
because Of report from the Treasury
on all American or Americana allied
holdings in the area of invasion. The
officer would know, too, the location of
other factories making shoes, blankets,
motors, tires and hundreds of other
things needed by the Army. More than
that, he would know the names of all
the officers of the plant, and possibly
even something about their political
coloration.
In time of war. such information is
of inestimable value, not only in sup
plying the American forces, but in help
Ing to reorganize the country after its
control by our Army is assured.
Accurate and Vital Picture.
But, as noted above, the military use
