BIGENTENNIAL NI GOMPLETES WORK Roosevelt Praises Memorial Services to George Wash- ington in Report. With the publication of a volume containing more than 1,000,000 words, comprising a “complete and final re- . port” of its activities, the United States Commission for the Celebra- tion of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington has con- cluded nearly 10 years of activities which had their climax in the year- long observance of the Washington birth bicentennial in 1932. The great volume, which weighs seven pounds, is the fifth of a series |+ of report, yolumes issued by the com- mission, describes in detail the ele- ments of the celebration and the or- ganization 10 which was intrusted the direction of observances in every sec- tion of the United States. The work is divided into two sec- tions, the first a narrative of the work of the commission and of the celebration itself; the second, a com- pilation of the reports of the va- rious departments and divisions of the commission “We have into as much detail concerning various bicentennial events and programs throughout the Nation as possible,” it was explained by Representative York, director of hmlilxgh'< could be (curnvd hpon ml this report Four Million Events. “The magnitude of the celebration can be visualized from the fact that each day there were an average of 16,000 individual bicentennial celebr: tion events or ceremonies. 4.760,345 for the nine mor In a letter which is preface to the work, President Roose- velt declares sion has left “an immortal legacy in the form of historical facts covering every phase not ; of George Washing- | ton's life. but of those elements and | events centering in him as the out- standing figure ( his time.” “Future historians and scholars.” the President sa “may Trely upon | record wh ave so care- fully and so au y preserved. The results of this part of your work have reached deep into the hearts of the people, and revived in them fun- | damental reasons for pri and faith in its system of govern- ment.” The of grati ‘u‘ country owes to the mission and voiced his rec- ognition of the “many years of service | which as director, rendered in this monumental task, and that upon you and your fine zation rested the heaviest responsibility and bur-! den of accomplishment.” | Lauded by Roosevelt. The President declared that the complete report just published “brings th a close an activity of the Pederal | Government unique in history, and, in my opinion, of incalculable value to the American people.” The cele- | bration, he said. was observed in this country and throughout the world “in & manner which was dignified and ap- | propriate” and the lessons of the life and achlevements of George Wash- ington and their real significance fur- nished to the country by the commis- sion “will have a lasting effect in the guality of future American citizen- ship.” | Preparation for the bicentennial celebration began in 1924 and the first meeting of the commission was | called by President Coolidge at the| White House February 16, 1925. The | celebration was officially inaugurated | by President Coolidge with an ad-| dress to both Houses of Congress | February 22, 1927, five years before/ the bicentennial vear. The report ws that during a period of seven years Congress ap- propriated & total of $1,270,716.02 in connection with the celebration, of | which $1,190364.11 was disbursed by the commis; fany of the great formal celebra- tions of the bicentennial are described in detail and illustrated photograph- fcally; hundreds of photographs be- ir used to supplement the text. Frevious celebrations also were re- viewed, including the 100th anni- versary of Washington's birth and the 50th anniversary of his inaugura- tion The celebration as a whole, Direc- tor Bloom states in the final report, “is proof, if proof is needed, of the loyalty of the Nation to the princi- | ples of its foundation and to those who founded it. It was a worthy memorial to one of the world's great men, and one of the few whose repu- | tations increase with the progress of time and shine ever brighter in the searching light of history.” GAS KILLS OFFICER’S WIFE AND DAUGHTER Lieut.

By the Assoclated Press, The long-standing row in the build- |ing trades unions of the American Federation of Labor was in the open again today, with officials attempting to restore harmony. The latest development came yes- terday when 12 of the 19 groups affiliated with the Building Trades Department failed to appear for the opening of the department’s “legal” convention. The credentials list kept by William Green, president of the A. F. of L., showed accredited dele- gates from nine unions, but those from iwo unions were not in the hall. Convention This Afternoon. | M. J. McDonough, heretofore presi- | dent of the department, said the 12 unions would have a convention of | their own this afternoon. He said | there was a possibility they would set | up their own organization—within the | American Pederation of Labor. Green | likewise conceded that the absentees | might form a rew organization. Both Green and McDonough pub- licly expressed a desire for harmony, | | but feeling between the two groups | ran nign. The story behind the family quar- rel goes back to last Spring when, laregly by Green's efforts, the car- penters, bricklavers and electricians' unions reaffiliated with the Building | Trades Department after a schism of | many years. Convention Seat Denied. Just before the A. F. of L. conven- tion in San Francisco last September, the Building Trades Department held its annual convention. This depart- ment convention refused to seat the carpe bricklayers and elec- | tricians’ delegates with their large block of votes | This refusal is generally attributed | in labor circles here to the three unions’ avowal that they would seek to oust the department's officers. | Back of that avowal is the matter of jurisdictional disputes. hunting season which closed Sunday | was reported yesterday.
