Cross' Is Complete ... Washington Dedicates Jefferson Memorial
Washington, (INS)—Led by President Roosevelt, the nation's capital today paused briefly in its war work to dedicate the newly-completed $3,000,000 Jefferson Memorial on the 200th anniversary of the birth of the nation's third president.
The chief executive made a "brief" address in connection with the dedicatory exercises.
The original draft of the Declaration of Independence, authored by Jefferson and now in the library of Congress, will be brought to the memorial and placed on exhibition under a special armed guard during the ceremonies.
The glistening marble structure on the shores of the Potomac tidal basin directly across the mall from the White House, was dedicated in the presence of more than 5,000 official guests, including members of Congress, the Supreme Court, cabinet members, ranking diplomats of foreign countries, members of patriotic and state societies, and living descendants of the famed Virginian. Structure Is Part of 'Cross'
The architectural design of the memorial is an adaptation of the circular Pantheon type of building used extensively in Roman construction and considered by Jefferson to be the most graceful type of building. That Jefferson himself was partial to this type of structure, is evidenced by his plans for the University of Virginia, which centered around such a building.
The structure itself took four and a half years to build, and is situated on the banks of the Potomac river to complete a huge cross, with the Washington Monument in the middle, the Lincoln Memorial at the top, the Capitol at the bottom and the White House forming the other extremity. Funds for its construction were appropriated by congress.
The structure, of Vermont and Georgia marble, is 165 feet in diameter and 103 feet high. In its center is a standing, heroic-sized statue of Jefferson done by the sculptor Rudolph Evans, from a description of the third president written by a contemporary biographer.

Chicago, (ACP) — The third largest appearance of sunspots since 1749 will occur in 1948, it is predicted by the University of Chicago's Journal of Astrophysics.
It was made clear the forecast is not one of absolute predictions, but rather expressed in terms of probabilities.
Astronomer Predicts Sunspots In 1948
The period, according to Dr. Gleissberg's report, will produce a marked hindrance on long distance radio, and statis will be conspicuous. Magnetic disturbances will occur, causing difficulty for navigators; the northern lights will be frequent and luminous and electrical disturbances will disrupt power transmission lines and telephone connections.
In modern time sun spots occurred in 1916, 1917 and 1937 and were low in 1922 and 1925.
