"Save Woodlawn for the Ma
ton" is the keynote of nation
wide public appeal launched by a
group including officials of patri-
otto, historical, city planning and
other societies, groups and organi-
cations to preserve as national
shrine the historic Potomac estate
which George Washington decided
as wedding present to Nellie
Gusts, his adopted daughter, and
Maj. Lawrence Lewis, his favorite
nephew.
George Washington personally
surveyed the original 1000 acres
on which Woodlawn stood. He him
self sketched the rough plans for
the historic dwelling in which his
adopted daughter, and his nephew
dwelt for 35 years.
1t is the plan of Woodlawn Pub
lie Foundation, Inc, a group re-
Gently organized to purchase the
Woodlawn estate from the guard
ians of the late widow of former
United States Senator Oscar I'm
derwood, to establish Woodlawn as
public shrine linked with Wash
ington, his tradition and times.
The estate was recently about to
be sold through the Circuit Court
of Fairfax County, Virginia, for
uses which would preclude its dedi-
cation to the public, when the
Foundation was formed to raise
funds, buy the property and ode
vote it to the interest of the
American Nation"
Mrs. Dorothy Troth Muir, of
Washington Grove is local mem
Der Of the foundation. She is con-
tacting individuals and clubs for
contributions = no offering too
small-in fact Mrs. Muir feels
that just as Mount Vernon was
purchased through many small
gifts so should Woodlawn be
saved.

Included in the film collection are pictures of a whale fight, reputed to be the only such one in exis- 1 tence
 i Hook said that oi the total num- Der to whom he spoke while in the states, not more than 55 were aware that Alaska has a flag. That not being bad enough" /" Hook continued, "a good number of those without knowledge of the Alaskan flag were former residents of the Territory"
 Hook drove approximately 34,000 1 miles during his lectures and was faced with a sizeable problem only once. When coming from a hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, he walked down the street to where his car was parked. T looked at the li- cense plates and they were from Alaska alright" Hook said, but when I glanced at the car it was both the wrong make and color.' Although momentarily stymied, the confusion was cleared with a mo- mantle ohco,-xfafiO onotba, car, also bearing Alaska plates, had parked right next to his.

This is the third of series
of articles on Paul H. Douglas.

While supporting the Social
lists, Douglas was also busy or
ganizing what he considered a
broader third party movement.
The blueprint for that party
was contained in his book,
''The Coming of a New Party"
which, incidentally, is dedicat-
ed to Norman Thomas.
That book carried a devas-
tating 21-page Indictment OF
the Democratic Party. OF the
Chicago Democratic machine,
he declared: st is not only
corrupt locally but IS indeed
largely maintained by the bust
ness interests as a combined
lightning rod and ifeboa&."
HE presented documented
proof of the fundamental sub
servience of the Democratic
Party to the same business in
terests which control the Re-
publican Party"
At that time also, he was an
editor of a Socialist magazine,
The World Tomorrow, "a
Journal Looking Toward So
cial Order Based on the Reh-
gion, Of Jesus"
On September 20, 1898, that
magazine carried an article by
Douglas. entitled "Who Are the
Democrats, which drew the
following conclusions:
Zone can detect some social
usefulness on the part of the
Republicans in their mainten-
ance of the conservative point
of view. We need one conserv-
alive party. but we do not need
and should not long endure
having two such parties. The

obstacle in the way of a third
