BUST OF EX-SLAVE
Dr. Carver, Famous Negro
Scientist, to Receive Trib
i
ute for His Work.
Ej the Associated Press.
TUSKEGEE, Ala., May 31—A
bronze bust of a former slave who
heeded the admonition of Booker T.
Washington to “look after the farm
and make the grass grow up at the
normal school" will be unveiled today
‘at Tuskegee Institute.
The bust is that of Dr. George
Washington Carver, who came here
from Iowa State College in 1896, when
Washington was president of this now
famous Negro college. In .the inter
vening 40 years Carver made many
contributions to science in his re
search work with Southern farm prod
ucts, including 300 by-products of
the peanut.
While at Iowa College he took
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
then just a boy, along on his field
trips and interested him in agricul
ture.
Was Born a Slave.
"He was such an inquisitive little
youngster," Dr. Carver said, "he
wanted to know everything about
every plant.”
Dr. H. E. Barnard of the Farm
Chemurgic Laboratories, Dearborn,
Mich., will deliver the chief address
at the unveiling ceremonies.
The bust was made possible by
hundreds of contributions from all
parts of the country—honoring the
man who was born a slave at Dia
mond Grove, Mo., in 1864, and later
•old for a race horse worth $300.
The 73-year-old scientist will be on
hand at the unveiling of the bust,
which will stand on the campus at
the entrance of Tuskegee Science
Hall—not far from the spot where a
heroic figure of Booker T. Washington
In bronze is lifting a symbolic mantle
of darkness from the Southern Negro.
Working on Paralysis Cure.
Dr. Carver worked his way through
Minneapolis, Kans., High School and
received degrees from Iowa State Col
lege and Simpson College, Indianola,
Iowa.
He was elected a member of the
Royal Society of Arts in London in
1917, and was awarded the Spingarn
medal for his research work in 1923.
A shy, humble man, he continues
his study of Southern farm products
In hopes of adding to his long list
cf achievements.
His present work centers around a
peanut oil he has used with some
degree of success on sufferers from
Infantile paralysis, but he has de
clined to pass final judgment on its
merits pending more exhaustive tests.
He has never married.

Doctor Removes
Lead From Boy’s
Bronchial Tubes
Metal Intended for
“Sinker” Swallowed
Accidentally.
By the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va„ May 31.
—A piece of lead the size of a quarter
was removed in an operation at the
University Hospital here yesterday
from the bronchial tubes of 10-year
old Junior Wanager of Bastian, Va.,
and Junior was reported to be in a
“satisfactory condition" last night by
the operating surgeon.
The surgeon said the boy would
be discharged from the hospital this
afternoon if an X-ray to be made
today is favorable.
Junior, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Wanager, accidentally swallowed the
piece of lead Saturday afternoon. He
had intended using it as a sinker on
a fishing line and had hammered it
flat.
The youngster was taken to Blue
field Sanatarium, where an X-ray
located the lead in one of the bron
chial tubes. Sanatarium physicians
advised that the boy be taken imme
diately to Charlottesville, where a
bronchoscope could be used.

PLANS FOR MONTS
GUESTS SPEEDED
Chateau Bustles With Activ
ity in Preparation for Wed
ding Thursday.
Ej the Associated Press.
MONTS, France, May 31*—Final
preparations were speeded today for
the arrival of the first guests for the
wedding next Thursday of the Duke
of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield.
The Chateau de Cande was a bustle
of activity in the kitchens and in the
upper floors, where extra beds were
moved in.
Jean Diot, the abdicated monarch’s
chef, and his staff have already be
gun preparations for the wedding
breakfast. All the catering is being
done by the household without out
side assistance, and although the
cooks and pastryworkers have been
working day and night in relays, the
wedding cakes were still uncompleted.
Mayor Charles Mercier, who will
perform the ceremony in the castle
music room, put the last touches on
the speech he will deliver to the royal
bridegroom and the bride, who has
been denied the title of “her royal
highness;”
Departing somewhat from his usual
custom, the mayor said his brief ad
dress—a customary part of the French
wedding ceremony—would not express
the hope the newlyweds would have
many children.
Mercier said the plans to have a
double ring ceremony had been
changed and the single ring service
would be used, with the duke placing
the traditional Welsh gold ring of
British royalty on his bride’s finger.
Touraine business men made prep
arations for. a big day Thursday in
the expectation of many tourists.
The proprietor of one restaurant
where the duke and Mrs. Warfield
lunched refused to recognize Edward's
abdication and placed over their table
a blue and white sign:
“Here lunched on May 5, 1937, his
lordship, the Duke of Windsor, King
of England, Emperor of India."
