|ta|y's 4 Gift Statues
For Memorial Bridqe
To Be Set Up in 1850
By Nelson M. Shepard

Italy's goodwill gift to the Ma
tional Capitalize four heroic
sized equestrian groups for Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge, cast in
bronze-will be ready to be put
in place some time next year.
This was the assurance brought
by Harry T. Thompson, assistant
superintendent of National Cap
ital Parks, who has just returned
from a months mission to Rome,
where he completed all arrange
ments for the project with the
Italian government. Next month
the huge plaster models will be
shipped from New York to Ital-
ian ports on an Army transport.
Then, he said, it will take about
eight months to complete the
statues for delivery.
If present plans are carried out
the bronze groups will be finished
with a coating of fine gold,
preferably by the fire-gilding
process, after the manner of work
done by the skilled craftsmen of
ancient Rome and Athens. No
where in this country can this
process be duplicated. Mr.. Thomp-
son said it would give the statues
a dull gold finish that would with
stand the elements a thousand
years or longer.
Mr.. Thompson acted for both
the State and Interior Depart
ments on the mission. He ar
ranged with DR.. Osvaldo Sertoli
Minister of Industry and Com
merce, to have the casting done at
four famous foundries. These
were selected after an inspection
of all foundries in Italy capable OF
filling so big an order.
The two groups modelled by
James E. Fraser of Westport
Conn. will be cast at the Laguna
foundry in Naples and at the
Bruni foundry in Rome. The
other two groups, modelled by Lee
Friedlander of New York, will be
done at the Martinelli foundry in
Florence and at the Battaglia
foundry in Milan.
The entire cost of casting the
models in bronze will be betrayed
by the Italian government at a
saving to the United States of
more than 100000.

LewiisExtradition
Hearing Put Off
Until Feb. II
Maryland Officials
Agree to Delay in
Gambling Case

The hearing on extradition
proceedings against William
(Snags' Lewis and group of CO.
defendants charged with gam
bling law violations in Prince
Georges County as well as the
District was postponed to Feb
ruary 27 by Judge Alexander
Holtzoff in District Court today.
The Government requested the
postponement and Maryland off,
cials agreed, Assistant United
States Attorney John j. O'Leary
told the court.
Lewis and 13 other men were
tried in District Court last
month on charges of violating
District gambling laws. The jury
failed to agree. A second trial
has been set for February 2.
Postponement of the extradition
hearing originally scheduled for
today was asked so that Lewis and
the others indicted for District law
violations could be tried here be-
fore going on trial in Prince
Georges County under indictments
accusing them of gambling law
violations in the county, it was
understood.
In papers read to the court to-
day the Government asked con-
tinuance of the hearing on
whether the following persons
should be extradited to Prince
Georges County: Lewis, Fulton
Mitchell, George P. Scott, Fred
Sutton, Lonnie Black, Ralph
Spottswood, Edward L. Hinkle,
| jr.; Gregory Segar, Sterling D.
Welch and Ellis Solet, all of whom
were defendants in the District
Court case, and Mae Cooley, Helen
Danhakl and Philip Samakow.
Four others who were co-de-
PENDANTS of Lewis in the District
Court trial were not on the list.
They were John R. Mitchell, Anis
Waicke, Dean Kennedy and Ber-
nard J. Del Negro. District Court
officials explained that those men
may have established residence or
posted bond in Maryland.
Those that the Government
wants to extradite to Maryland
were indicted in connection with
raid last March on a Bladens-
burg roadhouse at the direction
of the United States Attorneys
office. Officials contend that the
bungalow was the headquarters
of a gambling syndicate headed
by Lewis.

| Fowl Thief Gets
300 Chickens
In Reformotory

Donald Clemmer, director of the
Department of Corrections, thinks
there is thief in Lorton Reform
atory. Someone stole 300 chickens
from the reformatory about a
week ago.
The chickens were part of the
5000 fowl purchased for use in
District institutions. The DEPART
ment of Corrections buys chickens
from a farm in the Shenandoah
Valley and keeps them in it's deep
freeze. The chickens are processed
and then kept until orders are re-
ceived from District institutions.
When the theft first was dis
covered. an inquiry was made by
officials of the reformatory, but
they were unable to learn any
thing. The FBI was called in and
is working on the case.

Freedom Fair Future
Hinges on Tenants
Moving From Site

Fate of the Sesquicentennials S
Freedom Fair hinged today on So
luton of the problem of what to
do about tenants now occupying
temporary buildings on the pro-
posed site at Benning road and
Oklahoma avenue NE.
Failing to arrive at an answer
yesterday, Federal authorities
planned to take up the matter at
another meeting next Monday.
Edward Boykin. director of the
National Capital Sesquicentennial
Commission, which is sponsoring
the fair, declared:
IF the land cannot be cleared.
We will most likely be forced to
abandon the Freedom Fair
Mr.. Boykin released an artists
conception of how the Freedom
Fair would look when completed,
with the temporary buildings re-
moved. This showed that. at the
northwest corner of the area. part
of the large display buildings, let
tered ~" and "S". would be cut
out as would twe-thirds of the
amusement area, and a round
building to be used as a res
taurant, If the temporary build
ings were permitted to remain.
These temporary buildings COM
prise 81 one-family war-built
temporary houses for colored;
Langston Residence Hall. where
ITS colored girls who work in
various Federal agencies live, and
buildings used for the Census Bu-
reau and for files.
John Dobbs, assistant commits
sioner Of the Public Housing Ad-
ministration, which owns the 81
family houses, plans to restudy
the whole problem to see what
can be done. Two stumbling
blocks are lack of land to which
the temporary buildings might be
moved and the money to do the
job. Public housing officials say
they lack funds for this purpose.
Mr.. Boykin said the estimated
cost of moving all these tenn
porary buildings and renting the
required land and space would
be about s5OO,00O. This would in
clude relocating the houses on
land owned by the Government.
Mr.. Boykin said the commission
has no authority to buy any land
and is using Anacostia Park under
permit from the Interior De-
partment. The director declared
it is up to the commission itself
to decide if it would or could
spend money to move these peo-
pie.

Dispute Marks Session
Of Michigan Park Unit

A sharp controversy over the
appointment of committees broke
out at a meeting of the Michigan
Park Citizens Association last
night.
A motion to name a committee
to study and recommend possible
changes in the constitution was
carried, and Phillip Dolan, former
president of the group, demanded
that he be appointed chairman of
the committee. Immediate objec-
tions we're raised by Edward Kane,
who said that, since Mr.. Dolan
had had a hand in drafting the
original constitution. others should
now study it and propose re-
visions.
I'm not your friend unless you
put me on that committee" Mr..
Dolan told Charles S. Faller, pres
ident.
Il can't be bought, Mr.. Dolan,"
responded Mr.. Faller.
Some measure of concord was
restored by Charles v. Denny.
I'm tired of this silly, childish
pickering" he said. Before you
try to control a community, you
should control yourself"
Finally appointed to the COM
mittee were William Carney,
chairman; Mr.. Denny, George
Klein and Charles Muir.
Another amendment to the con-
stitution that got through without
difficulty changed the number Of
delegates to the Northeast Council
from two to three.
In another action, the associa-
ton voted to award prizes of SIS,
$40 and SIS for the most attrac-
tive Christmas decorations at
homes in the Michigan Park area.
The group also appropriated $75
for Christmas party to be held
in the Children's Convalescent
Home on December 10, and a
similar party for pre-school chill
dren at the Turkey Thicket Play
ground on December %.
The meeting was held in the
Bunker Hill School, Fourteenth
street and Michigan avenue NE.

Godgets Used in Quock Cures
OF All Diseases Exhibited Here

In vast display of important
progress in medical research and
treatment, the American Medi-
cal Association is exhibiting one
group of treatment gadgets no
reputable doctor would use on a
patient.
There's a "horse- collar" appa-
ratus, which fits over the patients S
body to cure disease by magnetic
ing iron in the blood.
There's a gadget to cure all
types of disease by expanding the
hydrogen atoms in the body.
And another cures various
diseases by shining a bright light
through different colored lenses.
These, and many other, gad-
gets-some of them still in use
are part of an amazing exhibit on
Mechanical Quackery." sponsored
by the AMA's Bureau of Investi-
cation.
Exhibit Opens Today.
The exhibit is one of 10 scien-
tiflc exhibits which. with l40 COM
mercial displays, occupy the en-
tire space of the Armory's drill
hall. The exhibit opened today,
for doctors attending scientific
sessions of the AMA's third an
nual clinical meeting. The ex-
hibits are open only to regis
tered guests.
AS far as the quackery exhibit
is concerned, however, officials
would like to tell their story to as
many people as possible.
Doctors already know about
these things" said Oliver Field,
chief of the Bureau of Investiga-
ton. But too large section Of
the public doesn't"
Widespread use during recent
/ years of many items in the AMA's
quackery collection attest to that,
! he added.
Used BY "Cultists."
Mr.. Field said most of the items
are used by "cultists' few by any
physicians. They came to light,
he said, mainly through queries
from patients. In many cases,
such agencies as the Food and
Drug Administration. Federal
Trade Commission and Post Office
Department have moved in on
the quacks. Better business bu-
reaus also have helped, he said.
The "granddaddy" of the COL
lection, Mr.. Field said. is set of
metal pins. resembling horse
shoe nails, which were patented in
1893 as metallic points to re-
move pain" The pins, one made
of brass and the other of iron,
were stroked over the pain area to
wipe it out.
In 1854, a "tapeworm trap"
was patented.
In this case, the patient was
tasted, the idea being that the
worm would become hungry and
begin to prowl around for food.
The trap. containing food as
"bait," then would be lowered
down the throat by a string.
When the patient felt that he had
a "bite," according to the ANA
account, "all that remained to do

starting forward wall have prov
en- themselves in actual game
conditions. The entire left side
of the line is composed of non
lettermen. John Easton at end,
Phillip Erich at tackle, and jim
WoodSon at guard are all of un-
known ability and much of the
seasons success will depend on
how rapidly they develop.
Dich Orahood at center, saw a
good deal of action last year and
can be counted on, the coach
believes. Eddie Low at right
guard is another inexperienced
boy and he must learn fast un-
der game conditions.
Veteran Tackle. End
Loren Grimes at left tackle is
another of the strong points in
the line. He tips the scales at well
over 200 pounds and, despite his
injuries, he was one of the best
in the league last year. Charles
McCracken is the third veteran
on the line. He will start at left
end.
Until Monday night fullback
was well taken care of but Bud
Hoffman came down with leg
injury in practice and only
time will tell whether or not he
will be in the starting lineup
Friday night. If he is out, the To-
Gals chances will drop considera-
ably, to say the least.
Bill Worthington will start at
offensive quarterback Friday
night unless something unfor-
seen happens, which, it might be
added, is always the case with
the starting lineup picked be-
fore each game. Injuries, illness.
and many other traps make
hazard of the job of all coaches.
Half-bscks Doubtful
The halfback posts appear to
be the weak spot OF the DacKIleld.
Howard Hill is the only return
ing letterman and he is very
light. Bob Patterson is the right
halfback and he is bothered by
bad eyesight although he is the
fastest man on the team and
probably will be the fastest man
on the field in most of Marys-
ville's games this fall.
John Evans will prove one of
the most valuable men on the
team. He will take Hoffman's
place should the latter be unable
to start and he will be the num-
Der one halfback sub.
George Hill is another halfback
sub who will see action should
more injuries arise.
This team has plenty of pos
sibilitieS but these 'ifS" that dot
the starting team must come
around fast if the Monarchs are
to come home from the Burg
with win Friday evening.
