BIRTHPLACE SOLD

TUSKEGEE, Oct. 15 (ANP).-
Word has been received here that
the birthplace of Booker T. Wash
ington at Rocky Point, Va, was
purchased at an auction sale Satur-
day by S. J. Phillips for $500.
Phillips, an agent for a soft drink
company, is also a promoter and ad-
vertising agent, using an organiza-
tion known as the Booker T. Wash
ington Sales agency as a holding
group. A former member of the fac
ulty at Tuskegee, he is trained
agronomist, having studied at the
University of Wisconsin, but he
abandoned his agricultural activi-
ties to engage in promotion and adj
vertising. He paid $500 down on
the purchase.
Conflicting reports coming out
of Virginia indicate that Mr.. Phil
lips said he was representing heirs
of the Washington family with
whom his relations are exceedingly
close. He outbid the Negro Organi-
zation Society of Virginia.

Repeatedly there has been some
quibbling in high administration
levels as to whether this letter
should have gone to the President
or rather directly to the attorney
general. Whether or not the argu-
ment was ever reconciled is not GER
tain. The fact is that the memo was
sent to the White House.
According to well-informed

The deduction that is being put
upon the current trend of events by
outsiders is that "the relationship
between the committee and the

"Au|lD!||IT5 ] ]! ] BILL" IS APPROVED BY SENATE
Original Author Casts Only Vote Against 0n1e-
 Hot Measure

The most juggled" measure of the session, That or Audits Bill" was finally cleared off Senatorial desks yesterday afternoon. Sen- ators breathed deep sighs of relief as they voted almost solidly for passage of Senate Bill No. 36.
 Only the author of the original version of the measure, Senator leo w. Rogge, was found in opposi- tion to the Audits Bill. He claimed that the requirement. written into the bill, for the auditing of Terri torial offices to be done by a Ger tified Public Accountant, would re- suit in handing over nearly all the work to "one man"''-the single CPA in Juneau, the Capital City.
 The original Audits Bill, Senate No. IA, proved "firecracker," and was withdrawn almost three weeks ago by Senator Rogge in favor of No. 36, by Howard Lyng. The newer bill changed responsibility for the auditing of offices over from the Territorial Auditor to the Board of Administration.
 The Lyng measure made fresh start through the Senate's round of procedure. Inasmuch as the ap- propriation clause had been stricken from the Rogge bill, Senator Lyng started his off without one. On Monday however, the Senate de- cided that a sum. should be set forth in the bill, rather than leav- ing it up to the General Appro- priations Act-so, the measure was returned from third to second read ing for specific amendment. Yes terday afternoon. $l0,000 appro- priation was written into the bill and it was shot back to third read ing once more and passed.
 It's big load off Senatorial chests as well as desks.

 Defense Attorney Beardslee, in his opening statements, reviewed the Sitka trunk case and said that states evidence by Mrs. Wilkins was essential for the conviction of the indicted soldiers that the Gov ernor of Alaska and other Alaskan officials considered the conviction of these men vital because they were suspected to be the ring leaders in a series of widespread depredations against legitimate business. He stated that Gemmill had contacted Mrs. Wilkins in Seattle to insure continued CO., operation of the witness.
