Trumans See Statue
OF First President
Unveiled at Cathedral

President and Mrs. Truman yes
terday attended service at the un-
yelling OF a statute of George
Washington In Washington Ca
thedral.
Approximately 1000 persons wit
messed the ceremony, which was di-
rected by the Rt. Rev. Angus Dun,
Episcopal Bishop of Washington,
and the Very Rev. John Wallace
Suter, dean of the Cathedral.
The 7-foot, 6-inch statue was un-
yelled at the start of the service,
In the North Transept of the Ca
thedral by Mrs. Charles w. Sheerin
of Washington, direct descendant
of Betty Washington, the first Presi-
dents only sister. Mrs. Sheerin is
the wife of DR.. Sheerin rector of
the Episcopal Church of the Ephi-
phany here.
Presented by Masons.
The statue, carved from white
Vermont marble by Lee Lawrie of
Easton, Md, was presented to the
Cathedral by the Supreme Council
of the Thirty-third and Last De-
gree (Mother Council of the World
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite
Freemasonry of the Southern Juris-
diction Of the United States.
Walter Lippman, Washington col
unnist and author, told the gather
ing "the intention of this service
today Is to appreciate the actions
of Washington by the manner in
which he conducted them more than
by the result"
Pointing out that Washington did
nothing to create "the legened of
his own perfection" Mr.. Lippman
said "he accepted all the great
Offices he filled because he thought
It his duty. He relied not on the
power of his mind, or the magnet
ism of his leadership, but upon the
conviction that in the conduct of bu-
man affairs all that man could dc
was his duty"
Washington Ideas Cited.
We have become separated not
from Washington but from his
ideas, Mr.. Lippman asserted. Wash
ington believed the people should
rule, but did not believe they could
be trusted with absolute power" the
speaker continued, adding the sig
nificance of the American idea Is
that the sovereignty of the people
Is never absolute, that the people
are under the law, and that they
may make no law which does not
conform to that higher law which
has been gradually revealed to the
awakening conscience of mankind"
President Truman drove to the
Cathedral from the White House.
He arrived in Washington earlier in
the afternoon an overnight trip on
the ice-clogged Potomac River on
the presidential yacht Williamsburg.
The President boarded the yacht
Yesterday at Mount Vernon after
placing q wreath at WaShington's
tomb.
The statue of Washington will re-
main in the North Transept of the
Cathedral until the 14th century
Gothic edif1ce is completed. Then it
will set in the main doorway as
though Washington were in the act
of entering. The Cathedral, started
in 1907, is now about half finished.

ALASKA MAY GET VOTING POWERS
 AT WASHINGTON
Sen. Mdgnuson Is Behind Legislation 10 Give Dele
 gate Full Standing

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Senator Magnusen D-Wash), said today he will ask Congress- to grant voting representation in the House to Alaska and Hawaii.
 Under the present law each terri tory has an elected delegate in the House, but neither delegate has a vote. They can te members of com mittees and can speak in the House, but they have no actual vote in legislative actions.
 Efforts have been made for sev- eral years to give the District of Columbia representation in Gen. gress,' Magnusson said in state ment, and I see no reason why Alaska and Hawaii should not have voting representation in the House. They are entitled to it and I shall introduce shortly legislation design ed to give them that right. I think they should have this right pending congressional action on granting the two territories state hood"
 Bills are now before Congress to give both territories statehood and the Senate has legislation to grant tha District of Columbia represen- tation in Congress. The resolution proposes a constitutional amend ment which would have to be ap- proved by three-fourth of the 48 states before it could become effec- i've.

American League Owners
Fail To Support o. onnor

Chicago White Sox are under
suspension.
eff this were opening day, we
would open as a seven-club
league because the league
would carry on but the Chicago
Club could not"
For the Chicago club to func-
ton, it must be reinstated or
take some other action, said
Harridge.
When asked sswhat other act
ion?" Harridge replied "you
must draw your own conclu-
SION"
The league president said to-
days meeting had been called
solely to discuss the American
League authorization to him
(Harridge) for the appointment
of any new Executive Council
member as requested by Com
missioner Chandler following
O'Connor's suspension.
Harridge concluded, From
now on, any action is Mr.

BURCAW DEFEATS
JACKSONVILLE II

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 81 -
Burgaw scored on the first Of
fensive play of the game, and
later in the third period to de-
feat Jacksonville, 1870, here this
afternoon.
The locals, who haven't play
ed in three weeks, were stunned
when Speedy Dunnigan started
off left tackle, twisted and
squirmed his way Sc yards for
the first score. The try for point
was wide. Only in spots did it
look as if the locals were in the
game.
The second score came in the
closing minutes of the third per-
iod when Johnson climaxed a
brilliant individual and team
performance with a 17ya I'd pass
to hurry, who also was outstand-
ing, who crossed standing. John
son plunged for extra point.
In the third period Jackson
ville's Marshall took a Burgaw
punt on his own As and snake
hipped his way for a score but
an offside penalty brought the
ball back.
For Jacksonville, Marshall,
Likens and Brown were outstand-
ing.

President Authorized Il
Appoint Member To
Executive Council

Leslie O'Connor's one-man re-
volt against Baseball Commits
sioner A. B. Chambers $500 fine
and suspension fell flat today as
American League club officials
voted to back the Commissioner
and replace the suspended Chi
cago White So1 General Mana
ger on baseball's executive
Council.
The club officials by a vote
of 7 to 0 passed the following
resolution:
"Be it resolved that the Presi-
dent of the American League be,
and is hereby authorized, to ap-
point a member of the league
to serve at the next meeting of
the Executive Council to be held
in Cincinnati Nov. 6 and y in
event Leslie M. O'Connor is I'm
able to act"
The motion was made by Cal
vim Griffith of the Washington
Senators and seconded by gen.
eral manager Bill De Witt of the
ISt. Louis Browns.
O'Connor did not vote, stating
he did not care to vote on an
issue in which he was so strong
ly involved.
O'Connor announced he would
file in Federal Court in Cincin-
natl next week a petition for a
restraining order to prevent
Commissioner Chandler from
enforcing the $500 fine and sus-
pension against himself and the
Chicago White Sox for alleged
violation of the restriction
against the signing Of a high
school pitcher.
League President William
Harridge said Like any bust

stay out of courts, but the
American League cannot pre-
vent any member club from 60

would not be a party to any

VERNON MORGAN
IS REINSTATED

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 81
(P - The Southern Conference
Executive Committee today re-
versed a decision taken earlier
this month and ruled Vernon T.
Morgan, University of Richmond
athlete, eligible to participate in
Conference football.
Col. William Copper, Confer
ence president, said the decision
was unanimous. 1t followed by
three days an announcement by
George M. Trautman, president
of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues,
giving Morgan an unconditional
release from his baseball contract
with the New York Giant
Al Richmond, University of
Richmond Coach John Fenlon,
declared he was "overjoyed" with
the Conference ruling and plan
ned to use Morgan some in to-
morrow's game with the Un-er-
sity of Virginia. Said Morgan:
''That's the best news I've heard
in my life"
Fenlon saw a serious wrong"
righted.
Colonel Copper said his COM
mittee had reconsidered the case
at the request of the University
of Richmond and, in view of the
completely changed status of
Morgan (since his baseball con-
tract release), ruled him eligible.
In a statement commenting on
the case of the 19-year-old En-
poria athlete, Colonel Copper OBJ
served:
ut is my fervent hope that the
plight of this young man may
serve as a warning to all who
may in the future be t, mpted to
sell their intercollegiate athletic
birthright for a premature pro-
fessional mess of pottage."
Morgan's ineligibility stemmed
from the signing of a contract
at the age of Is with the Giants.
The contracts validity was a
matter of dispute before Traut-
mans Tuesday announcement be-
cause it was not signed by his
legal guardian, his mother, Mrs.
Mabel Taylor.

What Cookin'
By Roy Cook

The National Rifle Association has issued a bulletin on
Duow to Hunt with Safety" Yesterday afternoon while glancing
through the bulletin we decided to take a few notations and
moss them on to our readers.
Il, fall again. The gridirOns are back in their glory, re-
sounding to college yells. The woods of America will soon be
fns5 with hunters. and the game wardens, landowners and
farmers are going to have their hands full because, unless Ameri-
have changed, animals, barns, chicken coops, automobiles, and
oven human beings are going to get shot at.
Roughly 12,OOO,000 guys throughout this broad land are oil
inc M their guns and the state authorities know what is coming.
while the vast majority of hunters will come out of the woods
and fields with their legitimate bag, it will be the small minority
INIT catches the newspaper headlines from coast to coast. Past
oxnerience has proved that roughly 1000 people will meet death
bv gunfire during the months of October, November, and December
fine hunting months. True, only about one-third of the number
will lake place in the field where someone mistakes his buddy
for a deer or pulls some similar slap-happy stunt. The others
will be accounted for by faulty gun handling in homes and cars.
In 1915, the last year that statistics on accidental deaths by
firearms are available, there were 1854 deaths caused by guns.
The average per month was EOS. However, take away the hunting
months and the average drops to 165. In October, November, and
december, $50 people or 40 per cent of the years total met death
nv firearms. From these figures it's easy to see some of the
MAYHEM that CARELESSNESS, IGNORANCE and SELFISHNESS
cause in the woods.
The National Rifle Association has tried for years to get the
grim reaper out of the forest, and through its years of experience
has formulated five simple gun rules which, if followed, would
wipe ont the "Trigger Happy Harry" incidents in the great Ameri-
can sport.
Here they are. Follow them and Hunt with Safety"
/ Always point the gun muzzle in a SAFE direction.
T. Ask yourself: Is that gun loaded?
5 Be SURE of your target.
4 Be SURE of your backstop.
s. KNOW your gun and ammunition.
REMEMBER
A 20 caliber Long Rifle cartridge is dangerous UP to one
mile.
A.3O-3o cartridge is dangerous up to one mile and a half.
A 30G6 cartridge is dangerous up to two miles.
A % calber bullet will penetrate at least seven one-inch
boards, so be careful where you tack up your target.
