Navy BoIIoonmen Home
After 14-MiIe Ascent

Two Navy men whose flight
to the stars" made news as avia-
tons most terrific let-down, are
back home today.
1t. Comdr. Malcolm D. Ross,
81, of 444l North Nineteenth
street, Arlington, made it just in
time for his daughter James
birthday. She is 10 months old.
Comdr. M. Lee Lewis, 43, of
216 Burgess avenue, Alexandria,
was not so fortunate. He found
one of his sons, Terry, 10, laid
up with a severe case of poison
ivy.
The commanders assembled
10000 feet in a balloon over the
South Dakota badlands a few
days ago. Only Capt. Iven C.
Kincheloe. test pilot for the Bell
X-2 rocket plane, has been
higher. He reached an unofficial
peak Of 10000 feet last August
at Edwards Air Force Base.
Descent Makes News
Paradoxically, the Navy off,
GERS descent, rather than their
ascent. made the news.
Comdrs. Lewis and Ross had
planned to stay at $4,000 for two
hours studying meteorological
conditions before returning to
earth. Something went wrong
with a valve on their 128-foot
plastic balloon, however. It took
them to 10000 feet, then ex-
PEELED too much gas and started
to drop.
Comdr. Lewis is not certain he
was as calm on the way down
while the balloon spun out of
control, falling sometimes as
fast as 5000 feet a minute-as
newspaper accounts reported.
I'll have to listen to the tape
recordings before I make any
comment" he said.
Comdr. Ross was similarly
non-commital. "Of course we
were in an emergency situation,
but we didn't have too much to
worry about" he said.

tagging behind those of compar-
able cities. Librarian Harry N
Peterson today advised the Dis

Inual report.
Mr.. Peterson pointed out that
the District has smaller appro-
Ipriations for buying books thar
similar communities. The Dis
trict also has less money, COM
paratively, than other cities oil

entire library system. he said.
Washington has one of the

space. This compares with 30O,-
900 square feet in Boston down
to $4,000 for st. Louis, with the
average being around 100000
square feet. Additional space is
needed here. both for books and
readers, Mr.. Peterson said.
Hopes for Enlargement
The Library Board has hopes
for enlarging the Central Lii
brary on the present site at
Eighth and K streets NV.
There has been a marked in
crease in the use of facilities
both at the central and branch
libraries, Mr.. Peterson asserted,
as well as the school division
and the bookmobile. During the
past fiscal year, he said, there
has been a greater load of ref
erence and advisory work. Over
all. he asserted. there was an
increase in book circulation of
58.028 over 1855 for a total of
in the past fiscal year.

will be Secretary of the Army
Brucker and 1t. Gen. Walter l..
Weible, Army Deputy Chief OF
Staff for Personnel.
Among the guests representing
the home will be Gen. Wade C.
Haislip, Governor of the Home
and retired Corpl. John E. Maze,
who served with the Sd Infantry
more than 80 years ago.
The review honors the Ma
tons original institution for the
care of its old soldiers.
Home Established in 1851
Located three miles north OF
the Capitol, the Home was es-
tablished in 1851 by Act of Con-
gress. The three men chiefly re-
sponsible for its founding were
Maj. Robert Anderson of the Sd
Artillery, who launched Army
wide petitions in its behalf; Gen.
Winfield Scott, commanding gen.
eral of the Army. who pushed
the project: and Senator Jeffer-
son Davis Of Mississippi, the for.
mer Army officer who introduced
the bill creating the Home anc
Steered it through Congress.
Maj. Robert Anderson was to
become. 10 years later. the man
who surrendered Fort Sumter
S. c., to the Confederate forces
in the action which touched of
the Civil War.
Gen. Scott was the kindly old
hero of the War of 1912 and the
Mexican War and commanding
general Of the Army from 1841
| to 1861. the first wear of the
Civil War.
Jefferson DAVIS was, 10 years
later, to lead the Confederate
States in secession from the
Union and to serve as President
of the Confederacy until his
death.
War Booty Financed Home
The money to start the Home
was the booty Of war. When
Gen. SCOTS army occupied Mex
leo City during the Mexican
War Of 1916. he offered to pro-
tect the people Of the city from
the pillaging and looting that
was then sanctioned by the laws
Of war. He asked that the city
pay the United States $4,000
"in lieu Of pillage."
Part Of the money was used
for campaign expenses. But
100000 Of it Gen. Scott sent
to the Bank Of America ito the
credit OF the Army Asylum. The
Secretary Of War protested the
action, but Congress passed an
act making it legal.
The Board of Commissioners
of the Home bought $50 acres
of the Riggs Farm plus SO acres
of an adjoining estate for $751;
500. While work was being done
to erect buildings on the site, a
temporary home was set up in q
rented house next to Army head
quarters in the Winder Building
on Seventeenth street NV.
Only One Woman at Home
The first member was ad-
mitted in December, 1851, and
shortly afterward the Home was
transferred to the Riggs farm
