Reodd for March Opening Arlington
By John N. Kouffmonn

The drama Of ITO years of
American naval history soon will
be unfolded in an old Washing
ton carriage house, realizing the
Naval Historical Fundation's 20
year-hope for a little gem" Of
a museum.
Behind historic Decatur House
on Lafayette Square. decorated by
the bright sign. "Truxtun- Decatur
Naval Museum" the carriage
house is being transformed into
a carefully planned, quiet exhibit
ton hall. It's displays will be
select; its atmosphere, intimate.
And as workmen set beams and
mix plaster to prepare the museum
for a March opening here the STIR
ring records and relics of nearly
two centuries of American Naval
history are coming to the founda-
ton from all parts of the country.
There are diaries and documents,
old prints. ship models and deco
rations, Commodore Truxtun's
beautifully wrought pocket pistols
and Secretary Of War Henry
.Knox's first order for United
States war ships in 1794-vessels
that should combine such quail
ties Of strength, durability, swift
ness of sailing and force as to rem
der them equal, If not superior.

of the European Powers"
Heralding the opening Of the
museum in March, the foundation
has received nearly rs separate
donations of historic material for
the museum and has added some
$50 names to its membership

than 900. The foundation now
owns about $4,000 documents per-
tanning to Naval history, which
are on permanent loan to the
Library Of Congress.
Although many of its members
are naval officers. the Naval His
