Spencer Mansion Bought
BY Women's Foundation

in q Dupont Circle building, will
be moved into the house in
March.
She said the exterior of the
building will be restored to as
near its original condition as
possible but that a number OF
changes would be made inside.
The foundation Offices were
moved here from New York early
this year. The organization does
research on topics related to the
problems of working women.
Samuel Spencer. a member of
IA family which originally came
from Maryland's Eastern Shore,
bought the house right after it
was built by Joseph Beale.
Mr.. Spencer was first president
of the Southern Railway Co. and
was associated with the elder
j. p. Morgan, noted financier.
Well-Known Sportsman
Sis son, Henry, carried on a
number of the family enterprises
and became well known as q
sportsman. He played tennis and
was planning a Canadian fishing
trip shortly before his death.
One of his favorite past-times
was tennis, which he played
every day, weather permitting,
and at one time he kept an in
door court. He substituted bad
minton during the winter in
later years.
He founded the Spencer
Tennis Association, which held
its 25th annual tournament, in
which he was co-champion, last
May. The annual tennis dinner
in the family dining room was
ATTENDED by between so and rs
persons.
Believed In Exercise
His secretary, Miss Mida w.
Tucker, who was with him for
|38 years. remembers that Mr..
Spencer believed in exercise.
"He used to walk home for
lunch from his Office until he
retired in l948," she said. The
Office was at 1101 Vermont ave.
nue. NV. from 1886 until his
retirement. He later did work at
home.
In addition to his son, Mr..
Spencer is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Benjamin Tho
ron. who is associated with the
Washington Cathedral, and Mrs
Roger Cortesi of New York.
The children and 10 grand
children will take over most Of
the art collection, which includes
many Chinese porcelainS.

American way of life in peace
time, certain assurances are re-
quired. First, our nation must
be assured that it will always
have supplies of raw materials
adequate to the need for the
manufacture of guns, ships, air
planes, railroad cars, trucks,
clothing, canned goods and other
essential military and civilian
items. Since raw materials are
globally dispersed, they must
come to us over the sea lanes
of the planet. The sea lane is
without a rival in providing eff
fective transportation for bulk
materials and will be the avenue
by which millions of tons of i'm
ports will reach our production
machines. From this fact arises
the need for a second assurance {:
that vital sea lanes will be kept
open and secure for our COM
merce, and as an important cor
ollary denied our enemies. Keep
ing the sea lanes open is one
of the primary missions of the
Navy. The sea lanes are the life
lines of America.
AS concrete examples of the
American dependence on certain
raw material imports, let's take
look at the materials: Man
ganese, chrome, tin, rubber
bauxite and cobalt. Their uses
are as follows:
MANGANESE - in the man.
ufacture of steel, manganese is
essential as a reducing agent
and cleanser. It is highly i'm.
portant also for producing alloy
chemical reagent. Manganese is
important principally as man

For many decades the United

Indeed, it is possible that few

be isolated from the rest of the
