Reynolds said too that the sit-| jWation was a “tragic indictment” + of the American public, and here | Marshall tends to agree. Nothing is really going to! solve this lipstick problem,” he} says, “except a change in: the habits of the people who come here.” . ! Marshall himself is dissatisfied | , with the grass and with the old ,; Wooden pier, which he regards as , unsightly and which he would re- | place if he had the money. He! j@oesn’t think too much of the} ‘statue itself as a work of art. | “I think it’s much more signifi- cant as a symbol than as an artistic job,” he says, looking up. | “She has a kind of pregnant look. A lot of people have commented on that.” Lovers necking on the lawn are another problem. Before Mar- shall's time, he understands, some couples have gone so far—right under Miss Liberty’s eyes, too— that they’ve got themselves ar- rested. r e statue’s dedication, the La- dies’ Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Committee for Protection of For- eign Born hold separate ceremon- les at the monument. Nothing eise nas teen planned for the sixtieth birthday, but some notice may be taken of the fact that the National Park Serv-. ace is 30 years old this year. The statue, designed by the Alsatian sculptor Frederic Au- guste Bartholdi, commemorates the alliance of the French and! Americans that won this coun-j try’s independence from England. | |The French gave $250,000 for the | copper figure and the Americans ' $280,000 for the pedestal. Edouard de Laboulaye, profes- sor and writer, proposed the sta-- ue in 1865 to mark the independ- ence centennial July 4, 1876, but because the fund piled up too ;slowly the project was not fin- ished till 10 years later. President Grover Cleveland spoke at the dedication, sand- wiched between a_ parade ' and tireworks. Tradition has it that as soon as the President had fin- ished, a dignitary on the platform | was to wave-his handkerchief as La signal for a gun salute from snips in the harbor. Midway in the speech, the story goes, the man pulled out his handkerchief, and booming cannons threw the eeremony into confusion.
