MacNider, Assistant Secretary of War, who has direct supervision over the Arlington National Cemetery, has been informed by officers of the Quartermaster Corps, who Investi- gated the matter, that there never has been an authenticated case of desecration at the tomb of the Un- known Soldier, despite numerous re- ports to the contrary. Specific denial is made of recent statements that irreverent visitors have sat on the tomb to eat their luncheons and that on one occasion a flapper climbed to the top and danced the Charleston. According to the official record, the stone sarcophagus has never been chipped or marked, nor has the small guard which has been maintained there constantly for several years ever been called upon to prevent at- tempts at desecration. The guard consists of two civilians, employed solely to guard the tomb from the time the cemetery gates are opened in the morning until they are closed to visitors at sunset. They wear uni- forms, but are not armed. On occaslons of speclal ceremonies at the tomb, such as Memorial day and Armistice day, when large crowds gather, the regular clvillan guard al- ways is reinforced by soldiers from Fort Myer and other nearby posts. Officlals of the War Department are considering the general question of lhe nrlvunld es of posting a_regular the latter occ: n, under the direc- tion of Tedd Robb. ‘The conference will be addressed Sunday by Willlam Knowles Looper general secretary of the Y.
