TODAY'S HOROSC COPE

Today's native will be sympa-
thetic and receptive; there will
be a certain amount of the gift
of acquisition and, considerable
good fortune with, possibly, but
little knowledge of how to use
wealth. The impulses are extrav-
agant to excess, fond of external
show and apt to be very waste
full. A curbing of the nature will
do much to secure and hold sue
cess.

Grand Jury to Get
Purse Theft Case

Waving preliminary hearing
on a grand larceny charge in con-
nection with the alleged theft of a
purse containing about $64 from a
State Department employe Friday
William Warren Peabody. 81, of the
Houston Hotel, was held for grand
jury action under $1,000 bond by
Municipal Court Judge Nathan R.
Margold yesterday. He pleaded not
guilty.
The purse had been recovered
personally by Mrs. LILLIAN v. Dick
son of 1914 Holly street NV, at
the time of the alleged theft.
Returning to her office on the
seventh floor of the Hill Building
after brief absence, Mrs. Dickson
told police, she found man at the
door. When she inquired if there
was anything she could do for him,
he refused to answer, she added.
1t was then she noticed there
was bulge under his coat.
Acting on hunch, Mrs. Dickson
said she snatched the coat aside,
saw purse underneath and
grabbed 1t. 1t was her own, she
added.
The man fed down the stairs,
but Mrs. Dickson, aided by another
employe, gave chase via the eleva-
tor to the ground floor. A police
man was summoned and Peabody
was arrested.

Chokes on Bone

"A 75-year-old woman choked on
a chicken bone here this week, the
District Red Cross Accident Pre-
vention Service reported yesterday
in listing 80 home accident cases
during the past week.
Other mishaps affected 26-year-
old man who was injured severely

Quoting an experiment, and a wom-
an who injured her back while

Cuts and lacerations were the re-
suits of most of the accidents. A

Pentogon Tower Is Proposed
As Imposing War Memorial

on which would burn an eternal
light as a war memorial. The light
also would serve incidentally as a
warning to pilots taking OF from
the National Airport alongside.
The Pentagon would be the
eighth wonder of the world if the
tower and the memorial idea were
developed" said Col. Isbell.
1t also would give almost 2,000,-
600 additional square feet of space
to the War Department.
Regarded as Fitting Memorial.
only a structure of the Penta-
CONS proportions can properly COM
memorate the dead of this last war;
he added. ITO my mind there is no
filter location for it than the build
ing which is the headquarters OF
national defense"
Col. Isbell said he thought 1t
might be 10, even Is years or
longer before the present Pentagon
could house the entire War Depart
ment after it is reduced to prewar
proportions, If ever.
Harkenlng to the current talk OF
time. Col Isbell de-
clared that ''the best insurance
against war will be a thoroughly in
tegrated system of national defense
for a long time to come, and this
takes centralized administrative
headquarters"
The fact the War Department
was able to consolidate so many OF
its activities in the Pentagon un-
doubtedly shortened the war con-
Siderably," he added.
Evening star., 1945-09-02

Here's one semioficial candidate
for the $64 prize to the perennial
question: "Whatll we do with the
Pentagon?"
The answer, from the man who
has been trying to stretch the walls
of the great building, is: Put a dome
over the doughnut, build building
in the courtyard, and she'll be the
eighth wonder of the world"
Col. Henry w. Isbell, the candi-
date, has spent many sleepless
nights worrying how to end the war
quickly by finding space in the
Pentagon for all of Washington s
War Department sections. AS
Headquarters Commandant for the
Military District of Washington he
had to reconcile the War Depart
ment's space requirements of 70O0.-
600 square feet and the Pentagon' s
walls. which provide half that much.
GI Found Answer.
Finally, one pitying private, whose
name will never appear on the
cornerstone, came up with a sug-
gestion and a drawing which Col.
Isbell thought might do.
In the six-acre central court of
the Pentagon, where cokes and
cakes are now provided under sun
umbrellas for weary workers, Col
1sben recommended the construc-
tion of % or "a floor super-Penta-
gon. separated by a 40-foot court
from the main building. The build
ing would be topped with a dome

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach,
a Senator before going on the Fed
eral bench in 1910, told his former
colleagues yesterday he thinks Con-
gress and not department heads
should write the laws.
, The newly appointed cabinet
member, testifying before the Senate
Finance Committee, was asked if
he had any specific amendments to
carry out his suggestions.
Il sat in this body for six years,
and I got sick and tired of people
from downtown coming up here with
bills and amendments" the Labor
Secretary replied. please don't ask
me to write any bills, because
think Congress is perfectly capable
of writing legislation"

He also participated in all of the
Presidential inaugural ceremonies
from Woodrow Wilson to Franklin
D. Roosevelt, and one of his most
stirring memories was the day Pres
ident Harding dedicated the Lin
coin Memorial.
His scrapbook also tells the story
of the time he tracked down and
arrested Irving Murray, charged
with the Staying of Park Policeman
Mylo Kennedy in Logan Circle.
Murray was executed for the crime.
A year earlier, he won a running
gun battle with half-crazed GRIM
inal in Judiciary Park. He disarmed
many hold-up men and automobile
thieves during his long career and
rescued many from drowning, but
the rescue he remembers best came
when he was off duty. He rescued
his son from drowning in Rock

In presenting him with a gold re-
production of his duty badge, Ar
thur e. Demaray, acting director,
