went to 100000.

Mr.. Howard also pointed out
that at the time of Mr.. Wilson'S
election thirty years ago, the Elks
were enjoined from operating in
several states, but during his ad-
ministration such legal entangle-
ments have been amicably worked
cut with the white Elks.

from one engagement to another.
THAT is what broke his health
down." she asserted.
Mr.. Wilson returned to the Mayo
Clinic on January II, 1850, and
remained there until March 21,
1850. While there he had two skin
gratis. Neither was wholly sue
cessful.
The doctor gave him the results
of the skin graft and recommended
amputation. Mr.. Wilson told him
before he would consent to am
putation he would go elsewhere
and see what ether physicians said.
! At the time Mr. Wilson's con-
dition was such that he had to be
removed from the Mayo Clinic on
| a stretcher and taken to the train
! i'll an ambulance. A nurse and Mrs.
/ Wilson accompanied him. He was
met at the train in Chicago with
an ambulance and taken to a hos
pital, where he remained until it
was time to be taken to another
station and put aboard a train
fer Cleveland At Cleveland he was
met with an ambulance.
The Cleveland Clinic Immediately
started work on his circulation. A
skin graft at the Cleveland Clinic
took, and after remaining there
for sometime he W2S able to walk
again.
Upon his discharge from the
Cleveland Clinic, he returned to
Washington, accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson and Charles P. McClane, of
Harrisburg, Pa, grand director of
the Elks' public relations depart
ment, who had been with him at
the Mayo Clinic ,2nd in Cleveland.
Even though he was in bed at
the Mayo and Cleveland Clinics,
Mr. Wilson carried on his work
as grand exalted ruler While in
the Cleveland Clinic he organized
he Sidney B. Thompson Lodge in
Cleveland, with Marion Motley, the
Cleveland Browns great fullback,
as exalted ruler, and Bill
Willie, the Browns end, and Larry
Dolby, the Cleveland Indians star
, centerfielder, among the members.
After Mr.. Wilson returned tc
his home in Washington, he re-
gained sufficient strength to go
to Chicago for the Elks' annual
convention in 1850. He even pre-
sided over some of the sessions of
the grand lodge.
Between the Chicago conven-
ton and the 1851 convention in
buffalo, N. Y, Mr.. Wilson con-
tinued to fill engagements. At the
Buffalo convention he presented
the Lovejoy MeG'1l, the Elks'
achievement award to DR.. Ralph
j. Buncle, director Of the United
Nations Trusteeship Division.
After he returned from check
up at the Cleveland Clinic on De-
cember II, Mr.. Wilson's health be-
gan to fail. The first engagement
he was unable to keep was at York
Pa, last January 6. ....
Some indication OF the growth
Of the Elks under Mr.. Wilson's ad
ministration was given by Perry
w. Howard. grand legal, advisor
Of the order.
| "When Mr.. Wilson took office
! we had about 5000 bona fide
members Of the order in about thir.
teen states" said Mr.. Howard

exalted ruler. He edited and
published The Washington Eagle,
which is now the official organ
Of the Elks.
He was the fourth Of six chill
dren of James L. and Nancy Wiley
Wilson. In addition to his widow,
surviving him are his oldest bro
ther, John S. Wilson cf Oklahoma
City, Okla, and a sister, Mrs. An
ME Dixcn of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Mrs. Dixon arrived here Wednes-
day, February 13.
Mr. Wilson was married to Miss
Leah Flrrar of Richmond, Va,
July %, 1924. She has been his
constant companion ever since,
helping him to carry on his work
as grand exalted ruler and at
tending him through all of his ILL
nesses.
Ironically, it was at the John
Brown farm near Harper's Ferry,
West Virginia, on July 4, 1949,
when Mr.. Wilson first became i'll.
He and William C. Hueston, Elks'
grand secretary, purchased this
farm to turn it over to the order
and make it into a national shrine
to Goods Angry Man."
The making of the John Brown
farm into national shrine was
the last big project that Mr. Will
son undertook. for the Elks. It
also was one in which he perhaps
took greatest pride among his
achievements as the head cf the
order.
His first illness was foot swell
ing = gout. He went to John Hop
kins Hospital in Baltimore and
underwent treatment. He later
went in September, 1949, to the
Mayo Brothers Clinic in Rochester,
MINI, and stayed there about three
weeks
He was overworked and showed
the first symptoms of cardiac
trouble. He was given a rest cure.
On this visit he stayed there about
three weeks.
"Basically." said Mrs. Wilson,
"Mr. Wilson's trouble was due to
overwork. The late DR.. Charles
Drew said Mr.. Wilson'S trouble
was slow circulation" The widow
explained that before travel by
airplane became almost common
place, Mr.. Wilson travelled, almost
continuously, going from place to
place to set up Elks lodges and
keep other engagements.
Travelling by train, she said, ne
got rest in a drawing room. But
when he decided to travel by plane,
she said, he get no rest in going

Gen. Gruenther Silent
On NAT0 Post Report
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Alfred NJ. Gruenther, dep
uty to Gen. Eisenhower in Europe.
said here today he had not heard
anything about report that Gen.
Matthew B. RidgWay is slated to
take over Gen. Eisenhower's post.
Gen. Gruenther, who has him
self been mentioned as possible
successor to the command of
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton forces, said with reference to
the RidgWay report:
IF it is to be that way, I'm a
soldier, and I will be delighted to
do everything that the Army De-
partment asks me to do"
Gen. Gruenther flew in from
Paris today for a speaking tour
which includes an address tomor-
row night to the American Society
of Newspaper Editors.
Reporters asked him on his ar
rival about a reported San Fran
cisco Chronicle story from Wash
ington saying that Gen. Ridgway,
supreme commander of the United
Nations forces in the Far East, has
been recommended by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff for the European
job Gen. Eisenhower is giving up
June /.
Gen. Gruenther, asked if he
knew what Gen. Eisenhower thinks
of his chances of being nominated
for President by the Republicans,
said he did not. He said he did
not know what Gen. Eisenhower
political plans were.
He said Gen. Eisenhower is now
in the process of paying farewell
calls on NATO member countries
in Europe and is completing sew
eral of the important matters he
has set out to do.
He said most of thes have to do
with organization and that Gen.
Eisenhower is working very hard

Teamwork and Fellowship Go Into Building School
By Cospor Nonnes

Teamwork and fellowship as
we'll as brick and mortar are
going into the st. Bernard's
Catholic Parish School now be-
ing built at 5815 Riverdale road,
East Riverdale, Md.
They are building the school
not only with their hands but
ialso with their hearts," the Rev.
Thomas B. Dade, rector said.
They are building it as though
lit were their own homes"
There is fellowship in the good
inatured bantering among the men
as they mix the mortar, lay the
bricks or haul materials from
place to place. There is laughter
land joking as the hungry men
eat lunch. prepared by women of
the parish in the church at noon
Saturdays. There's pride of ac-
complishment in their eyes as
the men step back and look at
the solid structure slowly but
surely taking shape. They work
week ends and sometimes during
the week.
Busmen'S Holiday.
Some of the men working are
taking busmen's holidays and do
ing their regular work as a con-
tribution to the church. Others
are performing work far removed
from their normal tasks. Many
are non-Catholics.
Three HyattSville residents
whose muscles have a right to
ache from unusual chores on a
week end are William F.. Schroeder,
5205 Fifty-eighth avenue; Roscoe
Wolverton, 4817 Edmonston road,
and William Spaulding, 5408 Gal
latin street. Mr.. Schroeder is a
printing plant superintendent at
the Veterans Administration; Mr..
Wolverton is a conductor at the
Washington Terminal, and Mr..
Spaulding is a chef and supervisor
at Government Services, Inc.
Instead of worrying about
Iprinting problems on weekends
Mr.. Schroeder mixes mortar. car
ries bricks, and helps build forms
for concrete work.
Change Is Fun.
"It'S a change from regular
work, and any time you do some
thing different it is fun," he ex-
planned.
The conductor acts asa steam
filters helper when he isn't push
ing a wheelbarroW up a runway
or doing other manual work. And
the Government Services chef
serves up bricks to bricklayers
rather than meals for Federal
employees.
