The
Rambler
Gets q New View
Of the Capitol Area
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Another height will soon
be open to the Washington
sightseer "a height with a
magnificent view of the Ma

derings of the Potomac.
1t is the George Washing
ton Masonic National Memo
rial, which long has lowered
above Alexandria. 1t is pat
termed after the lighthouse
in Alexandria, Egypt, one of
the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.
Two passenger elevators,
which go up on a slant inside
the receding walls of the
tower, have been installed,
the second one this year.
They are still being used to
carry construction materials
for rooms in the tower and
are not yet licensed to carry
passengers.
But work on the rooms is
nearing completion.
The other morning, one of
those clear-for-miles morn
ings left in the wake of a
cold front, the Rambler was
taken UP in the tower by
Waiter Shepherd, superin-
tendent of the memorial.
Mr.. Shepherd is a short,
broad-shouldered, jocular
man who threatened to
charge So for the trip.
"I've been here so long,"
he said, that l ought to be
able to charge. I came here
in 1922, the year construction
started, and I've seen every
