THE_EVENING STAR, ARTICLE DEFENDS MEMORIAL SITE Designer Also Praised in April Issue of Virginia Alumni News. Selection of the Tidal Basin site for the proposed Thomas Jefferson | Memorial and of John Russell Pope | as designing architect for the me- | morial is defended by Hollins N. Ran- | dolph, member of the Memorial Com- | misslon, in an article in the April issue of the University of Virginia unqualified and hearty approval to the final work of the commission. Although almost literally submerged in a thousand affairs of state, the President found time to make a thor- ough study of all the particular prob- lems involved and gave the commis- sion his full indorsement and ap- proval, “Washington as a city is no stranger to the President. For more than a quarter of a century, less a few years, he has been a dweller therein. More- over, he is a great student of art and is a master of the difficult subject of city planning, at least in so far as Washington is concerned. He is also a great admirer of the character and works of Thomas Jefferson. "It can be safely assumed, there- fore, that the commission has well and wisely performed the difficult work and responsibility intrusted to it by Congress.” Memorial Versus Cherry Blossoms AiredinWisconsin Editor Writes Views of Taxi Driver Who Speaks Feelingly. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial question, to be or not to be at Tidal Basin, is not confined to the National Capital, but has spread at least as far as Janesville, Wis. Stephen Bolles, editor of the Janes- | ville Gazette, while attending the | Convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors here recently sent along to his readers the sub- stance of his conversation with a WASHINGTON, talkative cabbie relative to the beauty of the display. “They're going to tear those pretty things up—those trees which with just a few blossoms bring 250,000 peo- ple here in a day—and put up a monument to Thomas Jefferson. How many folks do you think will come here to look at a lot of cement and stuff stuck up in the air?” Mr. Bolles quoted from the driver’s comments. “I agreed it was just too bad,” wrote the editor. 5-DAY WEEK PLANNED A five-day week for all National Broadcasting Co. announcers, produc- tion and sound effects men was an- nounced yesterday by Lennox R.

C, WEDNESDAY, SOCIAL CONTROL URGED BY LEWIS British Correspondent Addresses Commercial Secretaries’ Banquet. An international viewpoint on prob- lems confronting the United States was expressed last night by 8ir Will- mott Lewis, Washington correspondent for the London Times. Addressing & banquet of the Na- tional Association of Commercial Or- ganization Secretaries at the Wash~ ington Hotel, the English journalist prefaced his analysis of current American issues in general with a historical sketch of democracy as it APRIL 28, 1937. is known today. He opined that if democracy is to survive, both the elements of au- thority and liberty must remain com- plementary, because “if either be- comes absolute the other will perish.” Although the complexities of mod- ern industrialism have been a major factor in providing these issues, Sir Willmott commented, “our problems are social, not economic.” “Only by methods of social con- trol can individual liberty for mil- lions of people be preserved,” he sald. The speaker was introduced by Roland B. Woodward, president of the association and secretary of the Rochester, N. Y., Chamber of Com- merce. The banquet was held in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce Conveention now in prog- ress here. Officer Gets Wisconsin Post. Assignment of Maj. Herbert V.
