Board President Brooke John,
then asked me to give the commits

motion was introduced, and the
majority of the board members ex.
pressed a desire that I stay here"
Mr.. McNayr's version was sup.
ported by Commissioner Oliver w
Youngblood. Commissioner Sautel
said, however, that if Mr.. McNayl

Commissioners yesterday restored
the salary of Civil Service Commits
sioner 10 v. Morgan to $4,000 after
having previously cut his pay to
81 200 a year.

filed suit in Circuit Court for $50 900
damages against Brooke Johns,
board president, and County Super

from Mr.. Johns.
MIR. Morgan expressed gratifica-
ton at the commissioners latest
action, but declined to say whether
he would drop his damage suit.
Mr.. Welsh said, THE board feels
that Mr.. Morgan, in the conduct of
his Office, has been a competent
county official and that his salary
was not so much based upon actual
time employed as upon judgment
and integrity in the performance of
the duties of the Office"

The historic Washington Elm on

100 years old, is dead and may be
cut down soon. 1t is supposed to
have been planted by George Wash
lngton.
David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol. said the tree had been care
fully examined this spring by sew
eral tree experts, who recommended
it's early removal.
The spreading elm. located in the
park east of the Senate wing of the
Capitol, is barren. A nearby tree
also appears to be dying, Mr.. Lynn
said.
Death of the Washington Elm was
attributed by experts to old age.
1t should be cut down soon, they
warned. because it is infested with
the European Elm bark beetle, a
carrier of the dread elm disease,
which has caused the death of many
fine trees in this section of the
country.

Tuck Never Sought
To Rule Assembly, He
TELLS Law Students
BY the Associofed Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May
13.-Gov. Tuck said last night that
any one who suggested he had been
cracking the whip over the last
General Assembly should have
taken a closer look.
The Governor, speaking to the
student body of the University OF
Virginia Law School on the func-
tions and duties of the Governor s
Office, said there had been insinua-
tions during the recent sessions that
the executive branch had attempted
to influence unduly the legislative
branch.
AS a a.former member of the Leg
islature, Gov. Tuck said he hau a
high regard for the prerogatives Of
the legislative branch and felt glad
to point out that he hadn't con-
sidered or attempted any act that
would have trespassed on the Leg
islature's independence.
Il will say this, however: There
is such a thing as cooperation
among the various branches of Gov
ernment. Without boasting. I feel
that I know the views and feelings
Of the members of the Legislature by
reason OF my long service among
them. 1t would have been repugnant
to me as Delegate or as a Senator
to see the executive overstep the
powers prescribed for his office; that
feeling has In no way deserted me

branch. S.sss. = =. ''-S ..4.

whether the beetles in the Washing
ton Elm are contaminated with the
virus of the elm disease. But if they
are, the experts warned, it would be
dangerous to let them emerge from
the old tree onto nearby elms.
Studies of the ancient elm and Its
history 60 back to the first recorded
evidence in 1882, when it was men
toned by Frederick Law Olmsted,
who laid out the Capitol Grounds.
Borings and technical studies of the
inside of the tree have led experts
to say, in one report, lit is very
reasonable therefore to assume that
George Washington could have
planted this elm."
If he planted it in 1898, as be-
lieved, it would have been about 10
years old, so its life, therefore, dated
back to 1888.
Many conjectures are being made
in congressional circles as to what
may be done with the wool when
the tree is cut down. Mr.. Lynn said
he has made no decision in this
