at the side of the Potomac!
Cecil Wall, the director of
Mount Vernon, had invited
the Rambler to see an addi-
ton to the museum.
THE EXHIBITS ARE In
cases in a low brick build
Ing bordering the gardens.
1t was occupied by slaves
who were freed by George
Washington.
It's a good show for those
willing to stop and read. The
documents are a little diff
cult for those who are un-
used to 18th-century hand
writing. But there is a typed
card of explanation for each.
How these documents have
survived is one of the Won
ders of the American anti
quarian world. The first is a
land grant dated 1878 to
John Washington, the i'm
migrant Of the family and
Georges great-grandfather.
1t Is a reminder that
Georges father and grand
father were born in Virginia.
When he arrived in 1882, he
was of a line that had been
on this continent about a
century.
There is another museum
building nearby that has
permanent exhibits - Gen.
Washington's uniform, cere-
monial sword, etc.
The new museum will have
changing exhibits. The one
being arranged now is for a
visit Sunday of several hun
dred British guests of the
American Bar Associations
annual convention.
Washington's will will be
brought from Fairfax Court
house for the occasion.
HOW THE BRITISH solic-
ltors and barristers will re-
act to the visit is giving Mr..
Wall some concern.
They'll be wearing worsteds
and tweeds, they don't real
lie that Washington's cli-
mate is subtropical. Per
haps," Mr.. Wall said almost
hopefully, "if it's a real hot
day, they'll stay in their air
conditioned hotel rooms"
He shouldn't be concerned.
British lawyers are gentle
men, patient and polite, and
they are very interested in
American history. On the
last trip, one confessed he
had never heard of the War
of 1872.
"That's when you burned
Washington" said his Amer
lean host.
you don't mean it," said
the EngliShman. II know we
burned Joan of Arc, but this
is too much"
Those who will arrive al
Mount Vernon and study the
documents will realize thai
one Of the many things ir
which President Washington
took pride was that he die

At the end of his will HI
wrote, 1T will be readily per.

1t was a perfect instru
ment. His will was carried

although there were "a leg

studies of nutritional needs and
other family requirements. 1t
compiled them into a typical
budget for such a family, then
went out and priced the item
in all the cities.
The budget costs in other
cities in the survey are: At

Boston $6,3l7, Cincinnati

troit $6,072; Kansas City $5, $40;

lies who might think about

is the highest, to- Houston
where it is the lowest, not tc

Roosevelt Son Suggests
Bronze Lion Memorial

Last week the Senate refused
to authorize funds for it be-
cause Mrs. Longworth expressed
her disgust with the design.
Mr.. Gutermuth said the
Roosevelt children aren't seek
ing the privilege to veto a pro-
posal memorial to their father.
Whether or not they want
veto power. they may get it.
Senator Heating, Republican
of New York, yesterday showed
the Senate a letter written to
him by Mrs. Longworth. She
said she was pleased with the
idea Of a memorial but re-
stated her objections to the
sphere.
Senator Case, Republican of
South Dakota. then proposed
an amendment to the pending
Senate bill which would guar
Iantee the living children of the
Rough Rider President the final
say about the design.
Approval would be required
from the National Capital
Planning Commission, the Fine
Arts Commission and the Ma

bill as it passed the House.
Senators Case, Heating and
Cooper, Republican of Ken
lucky. said they plan to seek
a Senate vote on the amended
memorial proposal within the

Archibald Roosevelt thinks
a bronze lion erected on Roose-
welt Island in the Potomac
River would be a fitting
memorial to his father.
His sister, Mrs. Alice Roose-
welt Longworth, agrees that an
animal would be an appropriate
memorial to Theodore Roose-
welt. But she leans to an Amer
lean beast rather than an
African one.
Their ideas were reported
yesterday by C. R. Gutermuth,
vice president of the Wildlife
Management Institute and a
friend of the family.
"As you know, they both
agree that the proposed 'ce-
lestial sphere isn't very SYM
bolic of their father" Mr.
Gutermuth said.
Il talked to them both last
night and in addition to an
animal there also was some
discussion of a figure on horse
back similar to the one of
Teddy in front Of the Museum
of Natural History in New
York"
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mrs. Long
worth and their sister, Mrs
Ethel Roosevelt Darby, were
not consulted about the "ce-
lestial sphere" Mr.. Gutermuth
said.

On Glen Echo
Judge Awaiting
Trespuss Result

BALTIMORE, Aug. 26 CAP).
Federal Judge Roszel C.
Thomson refused yesterday to
dismiss a suit to prevent the
exclusion Of Negroes from Glen
Echo Amusement Park near
Washington.
He also declined to issue a
temporary injunction against
racial discrimination.
He said he will await the
outcome Of criminal trespass
charges against three Negroes
in a Montgomery County court
before trying the principal is
sues.
Counsel for six Negro COM
plainants charged in the Fed
eral court that use of a deputy
sheriff to enforce the race ban
at the park is unconditional
because it allows "State-en-
forced racial discrimination"
in a public place.
One of the defendants in the
suit is a deputy sheriff of Mont
gomery County and employe OF
a detective agency, who served
as supervisor of the guard force
at the park and was RESPONSE
BILE for the arrest of the three
Negroes for unlawful trespass.
In his opinion, the judge
stated that a 1900 Maryland
statute against treSpess upon
private land has long been the
rule in the Maryland Federal
Circuit.
He quoted a recent opinion
of Judge w. Albert Menchine
of Baltimore County in which
it was held that proprietors OF
private enterprises, such as
places of amusement and re-
sort. are under no obligation to
serve the public without dis
elimination and enjoy abolute
power to serve whom they
please.

Central Site Denied
For Trade Exhibit
Won't Approve
Downtown Plan
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Stan Writer

The District Commissioners
have declined to approve loca-
ton of the proposed trade ex-
hibit in a downtown Federal
City Center.
This was learned today in a
letter released for the first time,
with the permission of Cora
missioner Robert E. McLaugh-
lin. who is now in a hospital
and recovering from a heart
attack.
The letter adds new fuel to
a growing controversy over
where the proposed trade center
should be located.
Commissioner Mel aughlin
favors establishing the trade
center at Boiling Field or some
other location outside the
downtown area.
Some Washington business
men and civic leaders, headed
by Daniel w. Bell, president of
American Security & Trust
Co., want to put the trade ex-
hibit in a 5000 million Federal
City Center on Pennsylvania
avenue between Eighth, Elev-
enth and E streets NV.
"Prejudging" Is Seen
In a letter to Mr.. Bell. dated
July 20, Commissioner Nc
Laughlin said formal approval
of the proposed Federal City
Center would constitute pre-
judging of the statutory steps
which will have to be taken by
a future board of commission
ers, and therefore, if not un-
lawful. would have no force
and effect"
The letter goes on to say
that "the board wishes to re-
iterate. however, in the spirit
of its letter of October 16, 1859,
that its present members, in
dividually and collectively. wish
to encourage the planning for
and realization of such imagi-
native projects as you have
proposed which will be of value
to the community and assist
in the rehabilitation of the
area here under consideration.
Commissioner Mclaughlin,
in an attempt to clarity the
position of the Board of Com
missionerS on the trade center,
cited this letter in a telephone
conversation with his admin
istrative assistant, Lawrence
IDuvall.
yelling Letter Cited
Commissioner Mclaughlin
said, according to Mr.. Duvall,
that despite the unanimous ac-
ton of the board in not ap-
proving location of the pro-
posed trade center in down.
town Federal City Center, for
mer Engineer Commissioner A.
C. yelling subsequently wrote
a letter to Mr.. Bell approving
location of the trade center
downtown.
Commissioner Mclaughlin
had been planning to appear
at a luncheon next Wednesday
in the Sheraton Carlton Hotel
to present his opinion that the
trade center should be located
at Boiling Air Force Base or
some other site outside the
downtown area.
eManwhile. it was learned,
Commissioner Clarke will not
attend the luncheon and will
thereby avoid having to make
a decision on location of the
trade centor for the time being.

I do wish someone would

Washington.
Douglas Southall Free
mans multi-volume work
contains. much information.
But DR.. Freeman, who had
written the four-volume,
Robert E. Lee" and the two
volume, Lees Lieutenants,"
was inclined to make his re-
port on Washington a mill
tary history.
Going back four score and
more years from the greatest
war ever fought on this con-
tinent, he found the Revolu-
ton a series of SkirmiSheS.
Washington was engaged in
only one action in which the
number of troops on each
side dignif1ed it as q battle.
That was Monmouth. And
after surveying 1t in detail,
DR.. Freeman was unable to
determine who won.
washington was not at
Saratoga, the decisive battle.
And Yorktown, which just
about ended the war, was
not a battle, but a siege.)
Every time you read a
book about Washington,
there comes a moment of
truth when you think you
are getting to know the
father of our country, and
then he slips away-usually
because Of the authors in
Sistence that George Wash
ington was a great and
good man."
All this was suggested by a
ride to Mount Vernon yes
terday. What a day to motor
down the shaded boulevard
at the side of the Potomac!
Cecil Wall, the director Of
Mount Vernon, had invited
the Rambler to see an addi-
ton to the museum.
