the desk of President George Preston Marshall,

was 5-year affair, calling for a reported $4,000

NucIear Study at Oak Ridge

Fundamental studies of the precise
effects of nuclear radiation on liv-
ing cells will be carried on by the

The work will be in charge of DR..

He will work with the great uranium
pile now operated at Oak Ridge for
the Government by the Monsanto
Chemical Co.
DR.. Hollander's studies look for

atomic energy. Studies of the radia-
tions emitted when the nuclei of
atoms split in two so far have been
quite crude, designed only to estab-
lish the limits of tolerance for people
working in the vicinity Of piles.
DR.. Hollander will try to de-
termine the minimum dosage of
atomic radiation which will inter-
fere with the normal functioning OF
a cell. Another problem is whether
the same effects are produced If this
minimum Is received in fraction of

Lack Of Funds Dooms
115-Year-0Id Tavern
Al Great Falls Park
By Rudolph Kouffmonn II

Washington park officials have
disclosed that they are faced with
the necessity of demolishing historic
Great Falls Tavern, known to gen.
erations Of Washingtonians and
center Of one of the Capitals
favorite playlands.
This was admitted reluctantly by
park men as they all but gave up
hope of getting money to restore it.
Restoration of the attractive
Colonial style inn, which was COM
pleted in 1881 with money borrowed
and subscribed by the District,
has always been planned as key
project in the rebuilding of the
c. & o. Canal.
The administration has refused
to allow Government agencies to
spend or ask for building money
except for public health and safety
or to meet some urgent public need.
Building Is Collapsing.
The old tavern, which meets
neither of these requirements, thus
would have to wait a number of
years for urgent repairs.
This delay, park officials feel, Is
impossible. It's condition is such that
it actually is a menace to public
safety, Irving C. Root, superin-
tendent Of National Capital Parks,
said.
It's floors are sagging and rotten
It's roof leaks and is caving in and
its doors are hanging loose from
their hinges. Only its solid masonry
and brick walls remain intact.
10000 Visit Falls in Month.
Mr. Root explained that the falls
area has regained much of its for
mer appeal for holiday minded
Washingtonians. He estimated 30,-
900 persons visit the falls a month
during the spring, summer and fall.
Many of these are children, he said,
and the sagging building is an open
invitation to disaster, so he has
ordered the building boarded up.
Mr.. Root said that he and Harry
T. Thompson. his principal assistant,
were reluctant to give up hope of
repairing the building.
Some day, he prophecied, this area
will equal and perhaps surpass Rock
Creek as a park attraction.
Park service historians, planners
and engineers have taken consider
able pains since the Government
purchased the C. & o. Canal to
plan adequately for redoing the
Great Falls area. They have looked
to the tavern as the logical center
for the area.
Would Cost 100000.
Park service planners, MIR. Root
said, figure it would cost from
$4,000 to 100000 to revamp the
old tavern.
1t has been planned as an innlike
concession. One room could be re-
served as museum and q small
part of the building could be used
for park administrative purposes.
The history behind the building
is well known to older Washing
tonians. 1t was a favorite spot for
cycling parties in bygone days. Later
a small steamer, the Louise, took
pleasure seekers to the falls for Sun
day picnics.
The tavern originally was planned
as a canal lock tenders dwelling.
But the canal company saw its pos
sibilities as something more than
that-a logical point at which canal
journeys could be broken.
It's first proprietor was w. w.
Fenlon from 1881 until 1849.
It's career after 1849 was check
cred. From 1849 to 1881 1t was a

lock house and from then until
1862 it was a grocery. From 1862 to
1900 it was a hotel again but then
reverted to grocery until 1918.
From 1913 to 1925 it was leased
by the financially desperate canal
company as private club and then
came back again as a hotel from
1928 to 1910.
Since 1941, Government services,
Inc, which operates park recreation
and eating places on a lease basis,
has operated a small refreshment
stand and boat concession there.

The tert OF President Trnmans
statement on reconDersioH today

The tert OF President TYnntan's
statement on reconpersios today
joll0iDs..
I have read Mr.. Steelman's report
on reconversion with interest. 1t
shows that we are driving steadily
toward peacetime prosperity.
Yet I should like to emphasize the
sober note of warning sounded in
the report. We still have an impor-
tant battle to win-the battle of
stabilization-before we can hon.
estly say we have completed success
fully the transition from war to
peace. And as we all know, the last
battle in any war is the decisive one.
Every American can be proud of
what we have done SO far. Here
are some of the milestones Of the
Nations progress:
Employment. OF our total labor
force of 100000 58,00O,0O0 have
jobs. For most o fthe 2,000, 900 who
are looking for work, the periods Of
unemployment are short, and in
most cases unemployed workers draw
compensation while they are leeking
for new jobs.
Veterans. Ten million veterans
are gainfully employed today, COM
pared to only 2,000, 900 veterans at
work on WI day--a gain Of 5000 :
600 pobs for veterans in one year.
But the total of unemployed vet
Grams is still higher than any of
us likes to see it-about 100000, or
almost half the total of unemployed.
1t is the Nations responsibility to
see to it that veterans looking for
jobs get satisfactory employment at
the highest level of their skills and
at good wages.
Housing to Be Speeded.
More than 100000 veterans are
enrolled in college this fall and
are receiving the education their
country promised them under the
"GI Bill of Rights"
More than $4,000 dwelling units
have been completed and are ready
for occupancy under the veterans
emergency housing program. This
record is creditable, but we are going
to make 1t better. The recover
sion agencies are doing their ut.
most to speed up the construction
of veterans housing of all types.
