President Truman believes it is
tragic what has happened to the
wonderful old pieces of furniture
bought by early Presidents for
the White House.
He expressed his views on the
matters in g letter made pub
Ilic yesterday. The letter was to
Junius B. Wood of Holland, Mich,
well known in Washington as a
correspondent and magazine
writer.
Mr.. Truman started out by CIV
ing Mr.. Wood detailed informa-
ition on two old clocks in the
White House. Then he expounded
generally on what has happened
to some of the old furnishings
Iof the Executive Mansion.
The President wrote that he
had exact information that the
Minerva clock. row in the Blue
Room, was not purchased for
Thomas Jefferson by James Hon
roe but wfK bought by President
Monroe himself while he occu-
pied the White House.
He also noted that another clock
of ancient vintage, known as the
Hannibal clock, remains in the
White House. 1t is under the
picture of John Quincy Adams in
the green room.
Original Furniture Gone.
Except for the blue room
suite" the President wrote, "there
lis not a single stick of that orig
inal furniture left. and the two
CLOCKS to which I refer, along with
"a number Of clocks in hte various
bedrooms, are the only early pieces
that are left"
MI. Truman pointed out that
the White House contains the
Lincoln bed, dresser and full
length mirror in mahogany, which
were apparently made especially
for Lincoln and little marble
top table in the Lincoln room,
which is supposed to have been
the piece on which he signed the
Emancipation Proclamation"
Il found four of Lincoln's cabi-
net chairs in the attic of the
Treasury Building" Mr.. Truman
added, with parts of them broken
and the upholstery mouse-eaten.
I had them upholstered in the COL
ors which were supposed to have
been used in the Lincoln cabinet

Maryland Girl, 6, Shot
In Eye With BIB Pellet

Surgeons worked to save the
sight of a 6-year-old Maryland
girl at Episcopal Eye, Ear ana
Throat Hospital today as the Dis
trict'S new regulation controlling
sale and use of BIB guns went into
effect.
The child, Cynthia Curtis, was
Struck in the left eye by a BIB
pellet on her parents farm near
IMechanicsville. Md; yesterday.
The Districts new regulation
forbids the sale of'weapons to any
one under 18, and prohibits all
from carrying a BIB gun outdoors
unless the weapon is securely
wrapped.
The regulation was the result
of public hearings last May, when
the Society for the Prevention of
Blindness pointed out that there
were 33 eye injuries from BIB guns
last year in this area.
The former regulation banned
firing of the guns in the city, but
did not forbid their being car
ried. District officials said that
youngsters could use them on rifle
ranges approved by the Police De-
partment. at shooting galleries,
and in theatrical and sporting
events - all under supervision
however.
