still must convince independent
voters that he is making his own
policies without domination from
other groups in the Republican
Party.

Ilieves the general must take one
more step if he is to get the i'm

Must Emphasize Independence.
That step, in the opinion of this
adviser, is to make it clear that
he is making his own decisions
even though he has done every
thing possible to unite the party
factions that opposed each other
at the Chicago convention.
| Ever since Gen. Eisenhower had
his harmony session with Senator
Taft and since he announced he
will support Republican State
tickets from top to bottom, the
Democrats have been trying to
exploit the argument that the
Taft wing has won the general
over to their PHILOSOPHERS.
Evidently there is some con-

studied under the best teach

When the WaShingtons re-

was No. 2 hostess at the con-

In fact, Nelly and Lawrence

In 1897, Washington asked
Lawrence to assist him as
host. Thus, Lawrence and
Nelly were thrown into close
companionship. He was IL

Like Nelly, Lawrence had
never known much hardship.
His father, a wealthy Fred
ericksburg foundry owner,
eventually went broke, but
during Lawrence's boyhood
the family lived in. comfort.
His tastes, too, were artistic
rather than practical and
realistic.
Twenty years after her
fathers death, Nelly had sal
vaged enough money from his
tangled affairs to build Wood
lawn. When completed, it
was one of the most preten-
tious homes in all Virginia.
Attended by slaves, Nelly
and Lawrence lived amid
their art and music and the
gay social whirl. Lawrence
was busy for years as an
executor Of Washington's es-
tate; but, nevertheless, he and
Nelly apparently gave little
thought to improving their
land. The mill and distillery

IA what tragic, story of life
in early America is being un-
folded a few miles south of
Alexandria. where Woodlawn
Plantation is being restored
to its Colonial elegance.
Woodlawn, a 150-year-old
brick mansion overlooking
route l near Fort Belvoir, was
the home of Lawrence Lewis
and Nelly Custis Lewis. He
was a nephew Of George
Washington. she was Wash
ington's adopted daughter.
Nelly and Lawrence were
married at Mount Vernon on
Washington's last birthday
February %, 1899. AS a we'd
ding gift, he gave them Grays
Hill as a site for Woodlawn,
plans for the mansion, 1900
acres of land, a grist mill and
a distillery.
In 1905, Woodlawn was
completed, but IS years later
it was an abandoned, debt
smothered house, shorn of the
social prominence and gayety
that had marked the inter-
vening years.
For that reason the story
Of Woodlawn is different. The
romantic tales concerning
most similar historic shrines
seem to have happy endings.
Nelly Custis-her real name
was Eleanor-was born March
81, 1779. Her father was John
Parke Custis, a son of Martha
Washington by her first mar
riage. Nelly's father died in
1881, leaving his widow with a
debt-ridden estate and four
children.
Gen. Washington adopted
two of the children-Nelly and
George Washington Parke
Custis, who, years later, built
Arlington House and whose
daughter, in 1881, married an
up-and-coming Army officer,
Robert E. Lee.
