NEW JEFFERSON TRIBUTE OFFERED Treadway Suggests Making Library of Congress Into His Memorial. By WILL P. KENNEDY. A three-point program which he believes will properly “memorialize” Thomas Jefferson, whose personal library was the nucleus for the present Library of Congress, is proposed in a bill introduced today by Representa tive Treadway, Republican, of Massa chusetts, a member of the House Library Committee, who balked the plans to have a $3,000,000 Jefferson Memorial constructed on the Tidal Basin site. The measure provides (1) desig nating the Library of Congress as the “Thomas Jefferson Memorial Library,” (2) eliminating the present steps and Fountain of Neptune and replacing them with a memorial entrance which will contain a statue of Jefferson “in character” at a cost of $25,000, and (3) placing what is left of the original Jefferson Library in a specially pre pared alcove or compartment, where it can be seen by the public instead of being hidden away behind locked doors. Representative Treadway, who last year led the forces opposed to the plan of the Jefferson Memorial Com mission to erect the authorized Jeffer son Memorial on the Tidal Basin site, believes his three-point program will not only establish in the National Capital an adequate memorial to the third President, but with a saving of $2,965,000 to taxpayers—and, he emphasized, without in any way de tracting from the honor due to Jeffer son. Because of Jefferson's connection with the establishment of the Library of Congress, Mr. Treadway feels the designation of the library as a me morial to him would be more appropri ate than the erection of a marble temple, "which would be In direct contrast to Jefferson's characteristic simplicity,” he said. There remain in the Library of Congress more than 2,000 of the books which constituted Jefferson's library— and to which the public now does not have access. -• MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATIONS James Thompson. 28- 924 St. Paul's court n.w.. and Mary L.
