The Naval Historical Foundation
today announced plans for the es-
tablishment of Washington's first
naval museum, in the carriage
house and stables OF the historic
Decatur House on H street at
Lafayette Square NV.
The, foundation, which is headed
by Admiral Ernest j. King, dis
closed it had obtained a 50-year
lease on the property from Mrs.
Truxtun Beale, owner of Decatur
House, for 81 year.
Approximately S25.000 will be
spent to convert the carriage house
and stables into the museum. 1t
was estimated that maintenance
will cost about $1,000 annually.
The foundation is appealing to
it's members and the public to
finance the project by contributions.
Research and Reference.
The new institution, to be known
as the Truxtun-Decatur Naval Mu-
scum, will display ship models,
weapons, uniforms, pictures, man
uscripts and relics collected by the
foundation since 1926 Most Of these
have been stored at Fort Wash
ington, Md.
The foundation said it will make
it's large manuscript and print COL
lection available for reference and
research at the museum.
At present the nearest naval
museum to Washington is one at
the Naval Academy, Annapolis,
which is dedicated primarily to the
elevation of midshipmen's morale.
Little progress has been made in
the last few years to obtain the
long proposed Navy Department
museum for Washington.
Situated only two blocks from
the White House. the Truxtun-De-
catur museum will be accessible to
the city's 100000 visitors each
year. 1t will have an entrance sep
arate from that for the main house
and will have $500 square feet of
foor space.
Historic Background.
The Decatur House, to which the
property is attached, has an historic
and naval background 1t was built

night that he could not accept NOM
ination for any public ONCE"
! To this disavowal Mr.. Hague said
Il think Gen. Eisenhower's BROTH
er, Earl Eisenhower, expressed clear
ly the thought that Is in the gen.
erals mind when he said that If
President Truman were to request
the general to accept the nomina-
ton it would afford the general an
opportunity to serve the American
people without being involved in a
partisan controversy for the nomi-
nation"
Mr.. Hague said the Eisenhower
disavowal statement last night init
mated that he did not wish to be-
come involved In a partisan contro-
versy for the nomination for Presi-
dent at the Democratic convention. -
Says He Follows Trend.
Mr.. Hague recalled his rs years
experience as a national commit
teeman and said he had been fol-
lowing the trend in the country very
closely. He added:
1T is inconceivable that the Pres
ident would enter a campaign as
important as this one without con-
ferring with the Democratic lead
ers throughout the country and as
certaining the true sentiment Of the
people rather than relying upon the
advice OF a few inexperienced ad-
visers
IF the President knew the real
conditions and knew the disastrous
results that confront the Demo-
cratic Party in this campaign ! am
sure that he would hesitate to sub
ject the party to such disastrous
defeat.
"It is the duty of the Democratic
leaders throughout the country not
to sit idly by and deceive the Presi-
dent and their constituents, but to
advise him as to the real con-
ditions in the respective States"
Fears Loss Of Other States.
Mr.. Hague asserted that not only
New Jersey, but surrounding States
were ready to go heavily Republican
If Mr.. Truman were the Democratic
candidate.
He continued:
1T is therefore the duty Of Presi-
dent Truman, as the titular head Of
the Democratic Party, in order to
save the party from one of the worst
defeats ever inflicted upon it, to
consult with the leaders throughout
the country In order to ascertain for
himself the true sentiment of the
people and decide his future course
of action for the best interests Of his
party"
Mr.. Hague later announced he
had wired James Roosevelt, Califor-
mia Democratic chairman, that he
would be present at a Saturday
caucus of Eisenhower supporters in
Philadelphia. Acknowledging receipt
of a telegram last night from the
son of the late President inviting
him to the Philadelphia meeting,
Mr.. Hague said:
THE people must be given an op-
portunity to vote for the candidate
of their choice or it (the Democratic
Party will fail in its duty to the
Nation. If it so fails in its duty at
this time the people will show their
resentment by burying the Demo-
cratic Party under an avalanche
of votes"

Some of the faction that opposes

The opposition faction, which was

say they are not thinking about any
