WinsIow Fails
ToGet MonteIs,
Will Use Copies

Two white marble mantels at
Oak Hill, James Monroe's home in
Virginia, probably will be copied
and placed in the East Room Of
the White House, Lorenzo S. Wins
low, architect, said today.
Mr.. Winslow believes the man
tells are two of a dozen missing
originals from the White House.
but the present owner Of Oak Hill
does not agree with him.
Thomas N. deLashmutt, the
owner, says he believes the man.
tells were gifts from Gen. Lafayette
to Monroe.
Mr.. Winslow has had the man
tells measured and sketches and
photographs made. He said they
fit the description of the Red and
Green Room originals at the White
House. An acanthus leaf appears
prominently on each.
Laurence G. Hoes, RFC official
who lives at 6115 Western avenue.
and is direct descendant of Mon-
roe, said he believes Lafayette gave
the mantelS to Monroe.
Oak Hill is in Loudoun County,
Va, near LeeSburg.
The mantels would be placed in
the White House when it is re-
decorated after the present reno
vation is completed.

To Employees in Suit

The Governments antitrust
suit against the Great Atlantic
g. Pacific Tea Co. is a threat
to the security of employees and
to the living standards of con-
sumers, John A. Hartford, A. & P.
board chairman, said today in a
letter to the firms 10000 en-
ployes.
Mr.. Hartford wrote:
Il mean security, not just in
terms of having you feel safe in
your job, but by developing the
pension program with which you
are familiar; and by setting up the
training program to help each
employe fit himself for a better
job"
Attorney General McGrath, in
statement Tuesday night before
the Connecticut Bar Association
in Hartford, said of the suit:
IT any stores are closed by the
company. it will be lockout
against the public interest"
In q Chicago speech the same
day, Herbert A. Bergson, head of
the Antitrust Division of the
Justice Department, said the Gov
ernment's suit will not destroy
A. & p. It will not result in the
closing of single store. Not a
single A. & P. employe should
lose his job"
He said the civil suit simply
asks the courts to prevent the
continuation of those activities al
