until it was sent to Annapolis
following the Civil War. This
flgurehead actually is the
likeness of Tammanend, chief
of the Delaware tribe, but
was nicknamed "TecumSeh"
by midshipmen. Tammanend
was famed for his great good
ness and wisdom, while Te-
cumseh was an intrepid war
rior. When, in 1906, the fig
urehead was found to be in a
state of decay. it was repaired
and taken indoors for preser-
vation. The bronze TecumSeh
which today stands in the
academy grounds is a copy
Of the original and was sub
scribed to by the class of 81.
A battered relic OF Americas
privateering days is the fig-
urehead from the Brig. Gen.
Armstrong. OF the Port of
Fayal in September, 1914, this
privateer engaged with the
British frigate Rota, IA guns,
and the sloop-of-war Plan
tagenet, also IA. The Arm
strong's crew swan the fig
urehead ashore when their
commander ordered the vessel
abandoned. However, the VIC
tory was an empty one for
the British. who listed 800
officers and men killed or
wounded, while the Ameri-
cans had only two killed and
seven wounded.
Still another keepsake at
the academy is a copy Of the
figurehead from the Mace
donian, a French frigate cap
tured by the English, who
lost it to the United States
after a fierce encounter with
the forces of Stephen Decatur
in October, 1912. The acad-
emy used it for many years
as a practice cruiser.

most interesting history of all

of two likenesSes of Andrew

ton was undergoing extensive
repairs at the Charleston
Navy Yard in Boston in 1884.
the yards commander or
dered carved and placed upon
her PROV an eff1gy Of his idol,
the then President Jackson.
This provoked one Of the bit
terest controversies recorded
in our political history. Par
tisan feeling ran high and
was finally climaxed with a
midnight movement by a
young merchant sailor, who
boarded the frigate and con-
founded the whole country by
severing and making of with
the head from the figure of
the President of the United
States.
In 1885, a new head was
placed on the trunk repre-
senting Andrew Jackson, thus
rekindling the controversy.
Eventually, the furor died
out and at some unknown
later date the decapitated
and repaired figure was re-
moved from Old 1ronsides.
It was quietly replaced by a
second Jackson figurehead.
the one now at Annapolis,
where it was sent from Phila-
delphia in 1875, when the
Constitution was being set in
order for the Centennial
Exposition there.
Figureheads adorned the
prows of nearly every warship
of our Navy from 1877 until
1909, when the Navy Depart
ment abolished them once
and for all. Those which
have been preserved will serve
as mementos of valiant ships
which played so great a role
in the building Of the United
States Navy.

NEANY HISTORIC figure
N1 heads, relics Of the proud
ships on whose decks our
cherished naval tradition was
born, have been preserved at
the Naval Academy. The
origin of such ornaments may
be traced to ancient times,
when projecting from every
good ships stem was a carved
wooden image Never de-
signed to be a buffer, the
figurehead, on the other hand
was more than an adornment;
by tradition, it was the vessels
tutelary god, guiding her des-
tiny on perilous seas.

emy's figureheads Is one
which graced the prov of the

Life Can't Be Any Buster,
Saws Mrs. Renuh CumuIier
By IsobelIe Shelton

Her husbands new job as Dis
trict CommiSsioner-to which he
was nominated yesterday by
President Truman - will make
little difference in the life of
the Renah Camaliers. in the
opinion of Helen Camalier.
"You can't go out more than
seven nights a week." Mr.. CANA
lier interjected. in explanation of
his wife's calm estimate of the
demands on a District Commis-
Sioner.
The Camalier's have been on the
chicken ala king -frozen-peas
circuit for long time, with the
popular and civic-minded Mr..
Camalier in great demand as a
dinner speaker. This has been
particularly true for the last sew
eral months, since he became
Grand Master of the District Ma
sons. On those evenings when
her husband attends a stag din
ner, Mrs. Camalier goes out with
friends.
Last evening was typical Of the
couples busy life. Mr.. Camalier
was scheduled to attend a stag
dinner given by the Benjamin B.
French Masonic lodge. Since she
wasn't invited to that, Mrs. CANA
lier was giving her own dinner
party, at the Shoreham, for 36
women, some Of them wives Of
the men at the stag dinner.
The social demands on a Com
missioner, which generally are
considered quite heavy, will "simp-
ly have to be squeezed In along
with everything else," say Mrs.
Camalier.
To Helen Camalier, this will
mean even fewer opportunities to
cook dinner in the special custom
built kitchen which she designed
for the house the couple built
nine years ago. The attractive.
spaciously proportioned red brick
house Is on Nebraska avenue,

day after the nomination of Gen.
Eisenhower he wants no other
office" than Governor and hopes
|all Democratic convention dele
lgates will respect his wishes.
He predicted defeat for Gen.
Eisenhower in November, saying
the choice Of his own party would
win.
! A statement issued for Gov.
\ Stevenson appeared to raise anew
} the question whether he was tax
} ing himself out of the presidential
} race. Issued by his press secre-
tary. William I. Flanagan, it said.
} in part:
He is candidate for re-elec-
tion as Governor of Illinois, and as
he has often said, wants no other
office. He will ask the Illinois
delegation to continue to respect
his wishes and he hopes all of the
delegates will do likewise"
The statement was said by
some political strategists to have
been the first definite Stevenson
move to halt a draft action. Ear
lier in the Democratic campaign
some quarters reported he was
willing to run against Senator
Taft. But, those sources added,
} Gov. Stevenson was unwilling to
} battle Gen. Eisenhower, with
whom he basically agrees on for.

|virginians Cite Cuts
In Budget as Session /,
Top Accomplishment
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. July 12.-Mem-
bers Of the Virginia delegation ir
Congress. replying to a Richmond
News Leader query. said they re-
garded a sharp cut in the Presi-
dents budget, stiff opposition tc
socialism and a sweeping purge
of corruption in Federal agencies
the major accomplishments of
the 82d Congress.
Replying to the papers ques-
tions were Senator Robertson and
Representatives Gary. Abbitt,
Stanley. Burton and Smith.
Senator Robertson said the
most significant feature was ere.
versal of the trend toward in
Icreasing spending and more So
cialization of Government" He
said appropriations consistently
cut 10 per cent or more below
budget proposals and that I'VE
need to do much more of this"
Effective Economy.
Mr.. Gray said a spirit of econ.
omy was more in evidence thar
at any time since the beginning
of World War II. He said the
House Appropriations Committee
recommended cuts of over SIC
billion in the budeetsbut that thu
Senate reduced these to So bill
lion. He said there was some con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the $1.s
billion was added to the atomic
Ienergy program which is a vita
fpart Of national defense.
Mr.. Abbitt said Congress was
to be commended for much il
refused to do as well as for what
it did. He, too, cited cuts in the
budget and said the Legislators
refused to go along on several
socialistic measures and the civil
rights program. He saw the last
Congress as more conservative
than some of its predecessors.
Busy Aiding Byrd.
Mr.. Stanley said he had been
so busy with Senator Byrd's CAM
lpaign for reelection that he had
not had time to summarize a
"highly controversial session"
Mr.. Burton expressed the view
that much of the last session was
devoted to routine matters and
appropriations" but he felt it was
successful because it turned down
Ia number of administrations
sponsored measures which Con-
gressmen felt were contrary tc
Jeffersonian democracy as they
understood it,
Mr.. Smith pointed to cutting
the budget appropriations as the
outstanding accomplishment. On
the dark side he said it adjourned
in the midst of steel strike
which is paralyzing the producing

When the strike began Mr.
Murray insisted the industry
give his men a 26-cent an houl
pay package boost recommended
by the Wage Sterilization Board
He also insisted on a union shor
compelling all steelworkerS tt

lWSB recommendation.
Small Companies Signed.
The union, in a divide and con.
Iquer campaign, has signed more
than 80 contracts with smaller
companies. About $4,000 employe.
