Our Hidden Memorial
Our Hidden Memorial
City Has Handsome Temple for War Heroes
But UnsightIy Tempos Keep 1t Concealed
Where is the District of CO.

Where is the District of Co
lumbia War Memorial?
There was a time when 1t
could be seen from the walks
bordering the rejecting pool
which lies between the Lin
coin Memorial and the Wash
ington Monument grounds.
For IL years. however. the
District memorial has been
hidden behind a long tempo
rary building which borders
the south side of the pool.
This temporary" building
listed as four buildings in
the records-was put up in
haste in 1912 when the Nation
was under attack and Office
space had to be provided. 1t
was assigned to the Navy De-
partment.
Missed BY Thousands.
Thousands of persons who
visit the Lincoln Memorial
nearby probably never know
there is a beautiful memorial
erected by the citizens of the
Capital to those Washington
mans who served-and died
in World War 1.
The Rev. William B. Adams,
commander of the District De-
partment of the American Lee
gion. has asked that the tempo
hiding the memorial be torn
down. Last week he called for
this to be done before the
American Legion holds its ma
tional convention here in
August so that the visiting
veterans may see the Capitals
memorial to their comrades of
World War I.
Motorists who drive along
Independence avenue in West
Potomac Park can see the back
of the memorial which is amid
the trees to the north of the

Senate Unit to Vote on PIucinq
Addicts in Federal Hospitals

The Senate Labor and Welfare
Committee is expected to act IA
vorably tomorrow on legislation
to authorize the voluntary COM
mitment of District narcotic adj
diets to Federal specialized hos
pitfalls.
The House-passed bill has
been favorably reported in
amended form by subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Purtell,
Republican, of Connecticut.
Early Action Expected.
Subcommittee act ion was
unanimous and observers said
the chances were good that the
full committee would promptly
send the bill to the Senate fol
action on its consent calendar.
The District has set up quar-
tiers at District General Hospital
for the temporary treatment OF
drug addictS. But enforcement
OF the law requiring hoSpitaliza-
ton Of such addicts has been
held up until a permanent treat
ment place is found. This bill
authorizing treatment at Federal
hospitals such as the one Tick
ington, KY, would solve the
problem.
Approval by the Senate would
send the bill back to the House
since there were some necessary
language changes and the addi-

the Lincoln Memorial would
strike southeast and swing
around to the back Of the
temporary Buildings. If he
walks along South Rejecting
Pool drive he will have on his
left the cars of those who work
in the tempo. The cars are
parked at an angle. nosing
against q high steel fence
which parallels the building.
If the stroller starts from
the east end of the rejecting
pool he probably will skirt the
Washington Monument
grounds on Seventeenth street
and follow that street around
to the back Of the unsightly
tempo.
At the District Memorial the
visitor probably will have the
area to himself. Automobile
traffic discourages walking
along independence avenue.
In the other direction the
temporary building and its
fence provide an effective bar
ricade to the stroller from the
rejecting pool area.
Perhaps at the lunch hour
there may be workers from the
building nearby. if it is a
pleasant day. At other times
the scene probably will be de-
serted.
Dedication Recalled.
It was quite different on
Armistice Day, 1881, when the
building was solemnly dedi-
Gated.
President Hoover made the
chief address. Mrs. Hoover
was there. Also present were
the widows of two former

Terror Into 3 in Farmhouse

ent of a State convict camp who
lives nearby. Sergt. Edwards
organized the posse.
Mrs. Golsan rushed back to
the house after making the tele-
phone call. Apparently her abb
sence was unnoticed. The gang
was still there. She stalled them,
begging them not to take the
three anywhere.
The posse arrived at the Col
san farm, and opened fire. Bull
let's ripped through glass panes
at each side of the front door.
Four of the youths fled from
the house through rear door,
one taking Mr.. Golsan's shot
gun with him. One jumped into

was wounded in the arm.
All Five Rounded Up.
The wounded youth and the
three who fed the house with
him escaped into the woods. Two
of them were caught about a
half hour later. A third was
found still hiding in the house.
The other two were picked up
this morning about five miles
away. They had managed to es-
cape bloodhounds by leaping into
shoulder deep water of the
Rapidan River.
Sheriff Myers identified the
five youths as John Lee Har-

Speeiai Dispatch 70 The Ssor

ORANGE. Va. Mar. 6.-Three
elderly persons were held cap
tive by five knife-wieldlng youths
for nearly an hour last night
before one Of the victimS-a
woman-slipped unnoticed to a
telephone. Orange County law
enforcement authorities reported.
Neighbors, aroused by the ter
rified woman's call, organized a
posse, surrounded the house
where the three were held and
opened fire. One of the youths
was wounded as he tried to
escape. All five were in custody
after an all-night search with
bloodhounds. They were charged
with robbery by force.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Logan Golsan
and a guest, Howard Friend,
were victims of the terrifying
experience at the GolSan home
at Somerset, six miles west of
Orange.
They reported they were
beaten and threatened with kid
mapping or death if they didn't
produce more than the $40 the
young hoodlums found on them.
Victims Tell Story.
Orange County Sheriff M. M.
Myers pieced together this &C
count:
Mrs. Golsan answered a rap
on the door about 9:40 pm. The
five youths pushed by her, Fore
ing their way into the hall. They
demanded to see Mr.. Friend.
Mrs. Golsan recalled that Mr..
Friend had had trouble with
some of the youths. who had
worked in his peach orchards,
once before. She told them to
leave. Two of them pulled knives
and threatened to kill her and
her 7O-year-cld husband if she
didn't obey their orders.
Mr.. Golsan was awakened by
the loud conversation. When he
saw his wife held by one of the
boys with a knife, he grabbed
for a shotgun. One of the youths
got the gun first and knocked
Mr.. Golsan unconscious.
The youths roughed up Mrs.
GolSan when she tried to help
her hush and. Mrs. Golsan
screamed for Mr.. Friend, who
was sleeping in an upstairs bed
room. Two of the youths grabbed
Mr.. Friend as he came down the
stairs. The youths insisted they
must have $3.50.
Slips Away to Barn.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Golsan slipped
out a back door and ran to the
barn where there is a telephone.

Hearings Due
For Utilities
Dividend Bill
Poyne Sees Action
After Report on
Bus Problem Here

Action on bills to give the
District Public Utilities Commits
sion more direct control over the
dividend policies of local regu-
lated utility concerns, including
the Capital Transit Co.. was
promised yesterday by a spokes-
man for the Senate District
Committee.
Senator Payne, Republican.
of Maine, head Of the special
subcommittee investig tin G
Washington's mass transit head
aches, announced Yesterday that
hearings would be held on the
Beall-Simpson bills for dividend
controls.
Dates as yet are uncertain.
Senator Payne said he had in
mind having hearings after his
inquiry group has submitted to
the Senate its report on the
whole problem Of the operations
Of the company-and the other
major bus lines serving Wash
ington. This must be filed before
May /.
He told reporters, however,
that developments in the transit
issues here might possibly die
tate the scheduling of hearings
prior to May l..
Two Cite Need.
Two members of the Senate
District Committee already have
indicated the need of such leg
islation, in the light Of pro-
tests in and out of court over
the $3.50 annual dividend policy
Of the Capital Transit Co.
They are Senators Beall, Re-
publican, Of Maryland, who Of
fered the dividend control bill,
and Morse, Independent, of Ore
gon. both members of the in
vestigation unit.
New interest has been at
tached to the Beall-Simpson
bills since the question has been
involved in the court contest by
the PUG holding up the move of
the transit company to pay off
nearly 81 million in outstanding
bonds so as to free surplus for
payment next month of a 40
cent quarterly dividend to stock
holders.
Under the Beall-Simpson bills
the PUG would be authorized to
step into regulated utility con-
Germs dividend plans whenever
the commission found that such
policies would affect adversely
the company's soundness or Sc
curities and therefore its public
service.
OF more immediate concern
Chairman Payne said his in
quiry unit was keeping a close
eye on what actions may be
taken by District officials and the
company on proposed moves to
speed the movement of mass
transportation vehicles through
Washington'S traffic-choked
streets.
He was awaiting reports due
tomorrow from the District Com
missioners. the utilities commits
sion and the c. TIC. on what
steps they could agree upon.
Senators Payne and Morse re-
Gently Joined in a demand for
action on means of speeding
mass transit vehicles at the
February 10 hearing in the tran
sit inquiry.
They demanded reports on the
long list of suggestions made in

the utilities commission.
