Dak, July 4.— Blasted in eternal granite, the most massive monument in the history of world art was to be unveiled today in the heart of the Black Hills, where Gutzon Borglum has carved the head of Washington as the start of Mount Rushmore National Memorial. On the granite escarpment over the towering pine-crested mountains, Bor- glum, sculptor of massive rocks and craftsman of pneumatic drills and ex- | plosives, has completed the first step of the Federal project, which also eventually will include the figures of ‘Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, along with a brief history written by another former President, Calvin Coolidge. Mount Rushmore Memorial is to re- mind man that Washington founded the Nation from foreign-controlled col- onfes; that Jefferson expanded its boundaries into the Northwest; that Lincoln preserved it from dissolution, and that Roosevelt, inaugurating the Panama Canal, established a world power on American shores, Its sponsors declare the memorial, constructed under Federal supervision, will withstand the erosion of rain, wind, sun and frost for a half million years The memorial will be completed by w932 + Borglum said his object was “to give form and intimate personal character while yet being colossal and heroic in dimension: to lift with full develop- ment and design living historic charac- ters into scale with the elemental in nature, & quality inherent in all great characters.” MESSENGER BOY RISES TO HIGH RAILWAY POST Frank W.
