and an Embassy spokesman
said United States officials
would be available at 10 am.
this morning to answer their
questions - and present the
United States side-on Cuban
American relations.
The new invasion scare ap-
peared to derive principally
from a story by the government
news agency, Prensa Latina,
from Montevideo. The dispatch
from the Uruguayan capital
quoted "a well-informed source
as saying the United States
State Department had sent q
secret message to Latin Ameri-
can governments expressing
United States preoccupation at
the reported installation Of mis-
sile bases in Cuba and advising
that the United States will in
tervene in Cuba with troops.
Rocket Sites Mentioned
The purpose of the purported
message, PrenSa Latina said,
was to convince Latin American
nations that multilateral inter-
vention would be preferable to
action by the United States
alone.
The agency said the message
also accused Cuba Of building
so rocket launching sites of So
Wet design on the islands ter
ritory with the plan of attack
ing the United States when the
occasion is propitious."
The Cuban governm e n
stirred up similar invasion jit-
tiers just before the end OF
1859. warning repeatedly Of ar
invasion that never came.
The accusation this year
serves as an appropriate back
drop for a giant military parade
Monday as a second anniver-
sary celebration of Mr.. Castro's
triumph over Dictator Fulgen-
clio Batista.
Earlier Scare Recalled

national competition which
drew over 500 entries.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
widow of the President, de-
clined to comment at this time
Other members of the family
also were withholding judg-
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt noted that his
father had fought against mod
erniStic designs suggested al
memorials to President Jeffer-
son. But Mr.. Roosevelt said he
himself had not made up his
mind about the memorial pro-
posed for his father, declaring
I'm going to have to go
down and have a look at it
for myself" He said he would
study the model Of the me-
mortal when it goes on public
display January IA at the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art.
No Veto Power
In contrast to the memorial
proposed for President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the members
OF the Franklin Roosevelt
family do not have a veto
power over the design.
The winning design, sub
mitted by New York architects
William F. Petersen and Brad
ford S. Tilney, consists of eight
giant slabs inscribed with the
words Of President Roosevelt.
The highest of the slabs is 165
feet. better than half the
height of the Capitol dome
. and so feet higher than the
memorial tower to Senator
Robert A. Taft on Capitol Hill.
The inscribed slabs Of REIN
forced concrete would be ar
ranged in a giant circle or
about an acre Of ground in
West Potomac Park between
the jefferson and Lincoln
memorials. The site would take

It was from Gordon and
Beall (owner Of the Rock Of
Dumbarton tract) that all
the 60 acres within the
original Georgetown bound
aries were acquired.
Shortly before the year
1900, land remaining in the
Knave's Disappointment
tract was laid out in lots
and squares and the indi-
vidual sites were given away
free by lottery, In this early
real estate scheme, the
winners were required TO
pay q. yearly ground rent.
On December 10, 1910, o
william Marbury bought the
lot on which the Kennedy
house now stands. The best
conjecture available to me
at the moment (my own
is that 1t was MIR. Marbury
who had q two-story brick
dwelling built there some
time before 1843.
Land records do not make
clear who built the house.
But the record does show
that Mr.. Marbury died jan
uary 10, 1884, that his real
estate was divided among
two sons, George and John,
and other heirs. and that on
July Is, ls43, the heirs sold
q brick dwelling on the site
to q Vincent J. Taylor. The
price mentioned In the deed
was $4,000.
The house transferred to
Mr.. Taylor, the record
shows, had only two stories,
whereas the present Ken
nedy house has three.
One assumption tagain
my own is that the two
story house was built first
and was set back from the
street, and that it remains
today as the rear half Of
the present property.
In support Of this is the
fact that the rear part Of
the house Is only two stories

Byrd Unit Finds
Federal Payroll
Up S307 Million
BY the Associated Press

The Governments civilian
payroll. already more than ST.
billion a month. rose another
$307 million for the year ended
June 80.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, DEM
ocrat of Virginia, noting that
pay increases for Government
workers effective July were
not included, predicted an
other climb in total payrolls
during the current year.
A report of the Senate
House Committee on Reduction
of Nonessential Federal Ex-
penditures, which Senator Byrd
heads, said last years civilian
payroll totaled $12,637 900, 900,
not counting 1858 million paid
to foreign nationals employed
in overseas installations. The
years total included an esti-
mated $64 million paid during
the year to temporary census
workers.
The payroll figure for the
preceding year was $12,330.-
100000. In 1855, it was $9,621,-
100000 and 1t has risen each
year.
The Senator said the num-
ber of civilian workers on the
payrolls averaged 2,386,345 for
the year just ended, 34,103
above the fiscal 1859 average.
This still was below the 1884,
099 average in fiscal 1857.
