District Preparing
Statue PedestaIs
For Bridge Sites

Workmen are preparing to orna-
ment and inscribe the granite
pedestals near the Lincoln Me-
mortal in preparation for the
placing of allegorical statues late
this spring.
The four groups of equestrian
statues are the work of two Amer
lean sculptors. Casting in bronze
lis being done in Italian foundries
because of the lack of adequate
facilities here. The Italian Gov
eminent offered to do the casting
free of charge in appreciation OF
American friendship since the
war. The sculptors are being paid
out of a Congressional appropria-
ton.
Park and State Department
officials finally agreed upon a SIM
pie inscription conveying informa-
ton about Italy's gift. This will
be carved at the base of each
pedestal. Harry T. Thompson
associate superintendent of Ma.
tional Capital Parks, wrote the
inscription and originated the
idea of having the statues cast ir
Italy.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-County
legislation to legalize slot machines
will be signed by Gov. McKeldin
if it provides for referendums.
The Governor indicated he
would follow that policy when he
signed three bills today which
constitute the first gambling leg
islation to come across his desk.
The bills perfect titles to acts
which had been approved in the
past years by voters in Calvert,
Charles and st. Marys Counties.
In defining his policy, Gov. Nc
Keldin made it clear that he would
veto any slot machine measure
which does not call for a special
election.
Final Decision up 10 People.
The Republican Governor, a
strong Protestant churchamn
said:
Every one knows my personal
feeling toward slot machines and
all other forms of gambling-but
under our democratic form OF
government, it would be difficult
to refuse to sign any bill which
leaves final decision to the people. .
The three bills signed today
were introduced to correct titles
which described slot machines as
amusement" rather than gam
bling" devices.
The State law department hao
said their original measures failed
to make clear that the States
anti-gambling law was being mod
flied.
The Southern Maryland meas
ures were sponsored by the same
Senators who backed the first
enabling statutes for their coun-
ties. They were Majority Leader
Goldstein. Democrat, of Calvert
County; Senators Monroe, Repub.
lican, of Charles County, and Bal
ley. Republican, of st. Marys

Most proceeds from slot licenses
and taxes are spent for public
schools and improvements.

title was approved by Prince
