and did not write letters to
their congressman or Senators
to stay the move.
"Those who did vote and
those who did write letters were
concerned wholly with the
matter of sentiment. Had these
same men known the true
nature of this defect in tthe
east front's) design, could they
have been appraised Of the con-
dition of the building, could
they have known that its days
are numbered unless remedial
steps are taken, few of them
would have raised their voices
or taken their pens in hand. :"
ALA officials and other oppo-
nents have in no instance di-
rectly attacked the professional
ability of any of the private
architects who have been re-
tanned by a congressional COM
mission to plan and supervise
the extension.
The opponents. however,
have contended that the con-
sultants' hands have been tied
by the language of the extern
sion act passed by Congress.
And this is one basis on which
they have asked Congress to
hold up the project.
The language they refer to
says that the east front ex-
tension should be in substan-
tial accord with Scheme B" of
a study made in 1904. which
proposed an extension of 32la
feet. No mater how opposed
the consultants might be to
this provision, the opponents
say. they have no choice but
to try to work with this man
date.
COnsuItants' Report Recalled
Charging that the consult
ants are opposed to this plan,
the opponents cite a report
issued last year by the three
top-level consultants - Mr.
Harbeson, Henry Shepley Of
Boston, and Gilmore D. Clarke
landscape architect and former

man. The report urged in
strong terms that eventually
the House and Senate wings
as we'll as the central portion
of the east front-be moved
forward 3212 feet, and said the
consultants felt that only in
this way could the present
beauty of the Capitol be kept"
The fact, however, is that
the only project now authorized
is to extend the central por-
ton of the front. between the
wings. And that has not tenn
pered the support of the con-
Sultants.
Mr.. Harbeson, in a letter
to the ALA last week, has pro-
tested that the ALA has told
its members that the architect
consultants' opinions should
not be trusted" by suggesting
that mo architect of note or
responsibility has approved the
extension of the east 'front.'"

Plans for the east front ex.
tension are complete and, un.
less Congress acts otherwise
within the next few weeks, con.
tracts which already have beer
prepared are expected to bt

struction.
In back Of all the pro-and-
con Juror over the project are
three specific controversies. The
controversies, which also are
the reasons the extension 1;
being pressed, are: % The
present deteriorated condition
Of the Capitol; (2) A complex
series of architectural fights
over how the Capitol should
look, and 90 A need for more

rugged horses" he said.
There were racetracks at
Alexandria and Annapolis.
One day after riding over his
acres he noted in his diary
that all his people (slaves)
had gone to the races.
"The track was about a
mile, probably turf, with a
down-hill run on the back
stretch. The horses ran four
mile heats-best two out of
three. They had a half-hour
rest between heats.

named Magnolia, supposed to
be a pure-bred Arabian.
Probably wasn't. He used to
get some income in stud fees.
"He once had 1870 horses
on the place but at the end
he was changing over to
mules; only had 80 horses
when he died"
Il don't think he owned
race horses; I have never
seen a diary entry to indicate
that. He used to like to ride
to the hounds. He must have
been a good billiard player
because he won quite a bit
of money at that as a young
man. He used to like the card
table. But when he got to be
President he was too busy
for hunting and cards."

About Man o. War

"A writer for our distin-

The Star library the other

that the horse IN a bronze
equestrian statue Of George
Washington to be erected at

anything on II?
Milton Prensky, our en-
terprising researcher, went
to the clipping file. Under
Washington Cathedral he
found a story Of last August
that the plaster model had
been sent from the Paris
studio Of Sculptor Herbert
Haseltine to Brussels for
casting. But no mention Of
Man; O. War.
Milt got out the Man o.
War clips. There was a photo
of the life-size bronze horse
above the grave in Lexing-
ton, KY, and the full-length
biography or obituary sent
out by the Associated Press
before his death in 1947, a

would use that as his mod

Cathedral to ask when the
statue is expected. Mrs. Marie
