By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 24.— ‘The George Washington Masonic Na- tional Memorial Temple, being con- structed here at a cost of approximate- ly $4,000,000, will be formally dedicat- ed during the second week in May, 1932, it was announced following the session of the George Washington Na- tional Memorial Association held at the temple here yesterday. The dedi- eation ceremonies will extend over three or four days. Additional Work Ordered. Additional work to cost approximate- ly $185,000 was authorized at yester- day’s meeting, with other authoriza- tion to be made expected to bring this figure to more than a quarter of a mil- lion dollars for the coming year. The contract will be let March 1 for the installation of a heating and ventil- ating system, the construction of a heating and boiler plant to the south of the building toward Duke street, and a tunnel to connect with the main build- ing. Also authorized were permanent roadways leading up to the memorial, including construction of parking spaces, grading the approaches to the temple, and doing all necessary landscape work and reseeding necessary. The road- ways are being constructed at this time because of the large number of visitors expected in 1932. Following the above work, the per- ‘manent windows, to be in the nature of memorials, will be put in place. The electrical installation will then be the next step, and with this will come the placing of the high candlepower light in the memorial torch which caps the structure and the moving of the chimes | to the top of the building. Donations Up to $3,400,000. A total of approximately $120,000 was reported by the delegates from the vari- pus States yesterday to J. Claude Kelper, secretary of the association, with addi- tional reports to be received today ex- pected to bring this figure up to ap-| proximately $175,000. This, added to the $3,232,898.85 reported contributed up to February 14 of this year, will bring the total amount received to more than $3,400,000.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 24—A mother and her 10-year-old son, on & family holiday trip, were drowned near here yesterday when they fell into the South River from a pler at Camp Conoy. Mrs. Elsie Blanche Sibley, 39, of Bal- timore and her son Jack were the vic- tims. Her husband, Newton C. Sibley, jr., 40, a real estate agent, leaped into the water and carried a daughter, Beverley Jane, 3, ashore, but the others were dead when their bodies were re- covered. Sibley’s life, too, was in danger, when two men heard the cries of those strug- gling in the water and rushed to his assistance. Coroner Louis M. Hopkins gave a ver- dict of accidental death.

Margaret and Flora From Amos ’n’ Andy Parents Appeal to Offi- cials When They Learn of Offer. Special Dispateh to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., February 24— How to change the names of their twin sons to Amos and Andy is a para- mount issue in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel R. Sollenberger of near here. The twins were born December 23 in the Waynesboro Hospital and were Jjokingly nick-named by the hospital staff Amos and Andy, but the parents christened the youngsters other names. In some manner, the famous pair “Amos and Andy,” otherwise known as Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll, learned that the babies had been named after them and dispatched a letter to the parents informing them that if the boys had actually been named after them they would send them “a very nice present and also start a bank account for them.” Now Mr. and Mrs. Sollenberger want to change the names of their sons to Amos and Andy and have appealed to the Pennsylvania Department of Vital Statistics to see if something can be done 50 they can change the names and claim the present and bank account for their sons.

Cities all over the Nation, Senator Fess said, would be asked to arrange their celebrations ac- cordingly so that they might first listen to the address of the President before they begin. Two of three days of each succeeding month until Thanksgiving would then be devoted to the national celebration. In Mach, Senator Fess said, there would be another celebration, in April another, this probably of a religious character to coincide with the Easter season, and in May another, probably with “War and Peace” as the topic. The June celebration, &¥nator Fess declared, would probably be centsred around the flag, with July the celebra- tion of the natal day of American lib- erty. ‘The celebration, the Senator declared, will bring the greatest aggregation of citizens to Washington that any Capital city in the history of the world has witnessed.
