Fifteen enduring shrines,
which will watch over the
graves of $4,000 military dead,
are nearing completion in
widely-separated areas where
Americans fought and died in
World War II.
They are being set up by
the American Battle Monu-
ments Commission as places Of
pilgrimage and gardens Of
eternal memory, The bodies
of American soldiers and sail
ors have been gathered from
their hastily made battlefield
graves and placed beneath
the crosses, row on row" in
these IA permanent ceme-
teries.
Most of the central build
ingS of these shrines will rank
in grandeur with the Lincoln
and Jefferson Memorials here.
Some of the foremost living
architects have proposed. and
leading sculptors and masters
of fresco and mosaic have dis
posed to make the shrines truly
great monuments to American
valor.
Cemetery Locations
Only one of these ceme-
teries-at Suresnes, near Paris
has been completed. Perhaps
the most beautiful of all, at
Cambridge, England, will. be
finished soon. The others are
in various stages of progress.
Here are the locations of the
IL other cemeteries:
st. Laurent-Sur-Mer, Nor
mandy. Overlooking Omaha
Beach, this cemetery contains
the remains of victims of the
fighting Immediately after D
day.
st. James, France. Located
at the entrance to Brittany,
near Mont-St.M Michel, it has
received the bodies of men
who died in the breakthrough

tectural style Of the Tunisia
Of the earliest days of Chris
tianity.
Completion 4 Years OFF
Transfer of the bodies to
these final graves Is nearly
finished. It will be about four
years. however, before the II
cemeteries are completed.
Some Of the work being
done to make and keep the
cemeteries beautiful and au-
thentic Is noteworthy. Each
headstone carries the name.
State, death date, rank and
organization Of the soldier.
Crosses for Christians and
stars of David for Jews are
made from exceptionally high
grade marble, quarried from
caves originally opened by the
Romans high in the Italian
Tyrol.
These markers are precisely
the same distance apart, de-
waiting from a straight line by
no more than a tenth Of an
inch. To keep them that way
forever, the headstones are set
in reinforced concrete beams
sunk into the ground. About
lis miles Of beams have been
put in place.
For the mosaic work in one
of the chapels alone eight tons
of stone and marble chips,
each about the size of a thumb
nail, are being used.
The inscriptions on head
stones involve a mammoth re-
search and editing job. On
the assumption that service
records may be in error, SPELL
ing of names Is checked with
next Of kin.
Not all the war dead are
buried in these cemeteries.
About 10000 were returned to
the United States at the re-
quest of relatives. Those which
remain in the former war
areas have been left there
either because kinfolk directed
overseas burial, or because
identity could not be estab-
lished.

Home Rule Hearing Raises
Race Issue MomentdriIy

The question of race relations
came up during the home rule
debate before the Senate Judici-
ary Subcommittee. with advocates
of local suffrage insisting this
had nothing to do with how the
bill was framed.
Herbert P. Leeman, president
of the Central Suffrage Con-
ference and chairman of the
Suffrage Committee of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
urged speedy enactment. He
called the bill "a sound basis
for restoration of democratic
rights"
The federation last year did
not support the bill because it
felt it did not grant sufficient
amount of self government. but
stressed that it did favor the
grant of self government.
Senator Morse interrupted to
say there was a rumor that one
reason for the appointment in
stead of election Of the mayor
was fear that a Negro might
be elected mayor.
Mr.. Leeman replied he didn't
think that was the reason and
District Committee Chairman
Case broke in to say he never
had heard any such suggestion.
Rather, Senator Case asserted,
the appointive mayor plan was
a device to preserve the Federal
interest in the National Capital.
Other testimony included:
SturgiS Warner, submitting
amendments for the washington

pretty good bill-setting up the
