WAKEFIELD FUNDS
REPORTED CROWING
$130,000 Donations An
nounced —$100,000 More
Said Necessary.
Announcement that $130,000 has
been raised toward restoring Wakefield,
the birthplace of George Washington,
in Westmoreland County, Va, was
made at the final meeting of thc-
Summer of the Wakefield National Me
morial Association, Inc., yesterday aft
ernoon in the auditorium of the Interior
Department Building.
In making this known. Mrs. H. L.
Rust, sr., president of the association,
urged members to co-operate in creat
ing new interest in the drive, point
ing out that it is the desire of the
association to raise an additional SIOO,-
000 before the bicentennial anniversary
of the Father of His Country, just 18
months away.
Acting under enactment of Congress,
the Wakefield Association has pur
chased 70 acres of the Washington
lands at Wakefield and secured the
impiovement by the Government of
the read between Popes Creek, on which
stood the birthplace, and Bridges Creek,
where John Washington se'.tled, about
1664. John D. Rockefeller, jr„ pur
chased and holds for public uses 267
aces of adjacent ground, and to this
the association has added 30 more acres.
It is the purpose of the association
to restore the burial place and tombs
of the Washington family, including
George Washington's father, grand
father and great-grandfather. Wash
ington heirs have deeded to the associa
tion this plot of sacred ground and the
Commonwealth of Virginia has made
an initial contribution of $5,000.
Priceless Washington heirlooms, fur
niture, letters and other authentic
memorabilia which will be given on the
completion of the mansion, have been
acquired by members of the association.
The first State to respond officially to
the patriotic appeal of the association
was Connecticut, a gift of $5,000 being
made. Other States of the Union hare
been, or will be, asked to make similar
contributions.
At yesterday's meeting tentative plans
for the restoration work and sketches
depicting the original Colonial mansion
as it looked before it was destroyed by
fire in 1780. and as it will again look
under the restoration plans, were viewed
by members.

GREEN DECLARES
REDS ACTIVE IN U. S.
Labor Uncompromisingly Opposed
to Communism, He Tells
House Committee.
By the Associated Press.
The assertion that Communistic
organizations had been formed in the
United States to overthrow the Govern
ment was made by William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, today before the House com
mittee investigating Communistic ac
tivities.
At the same time Green placed his
organization on record as "uncompro
misingly opposed to Communism and to
the Communistic philosophy.”
The Communists have felt, Green said,
that to bring about world revolution and
destruction of the American Govern
ment they would have to overthrow and
control the Federation of Labor. He
added there never would be a compro
mise with the Communists.
Green testified there had been organ
ized in this country the Workers’ (Com
munist) Tarty of America, the Trade
Unity League, the Pioneer Youth Move
ment and the American Negro Labor
Congress. He said they were directed
lrom Moscow.
As the hearing began Chairman
Fish said he believed the Federation of
Labor was entitled to the gratitude of
the people for combating communistic
propaganda.

HILLES CONFERS !
WITH PRESIDENT
New York Political Situation
Is Discussed at White
House.
The political situation in New York,
which has been in a troubled state from
a Republican viewpoint virtually ever
since the national election of two years
ago, was discussed at great length at
the White Hbuse last night between
President Hoover and Charles D. Hilles,
Republican national committeeman
from New York. Mr. Hilles came to
Washington at the President’s invita
tion and remained a guest over night. ,
Although the White House said aft
erward that the political situation in
the Empire State was the principal sub- .
ject of conversation during Mr. Hilles'
call, It would not say that the situation
is becoming alarming to the President, j
It is known, however, that Mr. Hoover,
as titular head of the party, would be
happy to see greater harmony among
; the Republican leaders there and more
unity of action.
Mr. Hilles openly opposed Mr. Hoo

■ reason has had little if any contact
with the White House since Mr. Hoover’s
