He is a patient t the army's Walter Heed hospital In Washington. A veteran of the lighting In Belgium and France, Frlvate First Class Taormina lost a hand in the battles fur Germany and was returned to his homeland In February. Private First Class Taormina was welcomed by assistant secretary of the interior. Oscar L. Chapman, and given a personally conducted tour. Completion of the shrine In 18E8 concluded more than a century of elTurts to establish a suitable memorial to Washington. A monument In honor of General Washington was first considered by the Continental congress In 1783, after his armies had been victorious in the Revolution and prior to the establishment of the United States under the Constitution. Although there was considerable agitation for the erection of a suitable monument to Washington following his death In 1799, congress took no action for three dceadcs. In 1833 private citizens took matters In their own hands, organized the Washington National Monument society and undertook the building of a "great national monument to the memory of Washington at the seat of the federal government Delays and difficulties, however, beset the project for more than 40 years. Frivate donations proved to be inadequate for the construction costs, and work was halted In 1854. It was not until 1830, after the federal government had taken over the partly finished ahaft, that building was resumed. Work proceeded with greater rapidity under the army engineers than ever before and the shrine was dedicated on February 21, 1885, and opened to the public on October 9. 1888. First visitors had to mount to the top by the iron stairway of 898 steps or use a slow steam hoist elevator. In 1900 the first electric elevator was installed, and the present elevator, which makes the trip to the top In 70 seconds, was placed in operation in 1926. The monument Is 555 feet high and the tallest structure In the city of Washington. It was built at a total cost of $1,300,000. At the base of the shaft the thickness of the walls Is 15 feet, tapering to 18 inches at the top. Although the weight of the monument Is 81,120 tons, it has settled only 2 inches since 1885. , , A Vet During the war the stairway has been closed to the public. When It Is reojieried visitors with the sufficient hardihood to negotiate the stairs will again be able to tee the many memorial atonea set Into the shaft. These carved stones, contributed by states, territories, foreign nations, and others, include one from the Parthenon at Athens, another from the ancient ruin of Carthage, and still another from the tomb of Napoleon at St. Helena.

Way back when she was only 1944, and went into three printings 10, she wrote an essay on the old frigate, the U. S. S. Constitution, that won first prize at San Marino Hall, Pasadena, Calif. So writing her wray to fame is just a habit for Miss Kuhn. "34 Charlton" Is a story about a family in New York city. It centers about a girls selfemancipation from a possessive matriarchal household. Most of the action is placed in the Greenwich village section. Miss Kuhn, who lives in the "village at present, is the fourth generation of her family to become a part of the famous colony of writers and artists. She knows the background of her story intimately. Her birthplace, nevertheless, was far from New York. It was Honolulu. Her father was then editor of the Honolulu Star Bulletin, her mother, a foreign correspondent for a large syndicate. Soon the family journeyed to Shanghai, China, and she spent her early years in that distant land. She learned Chinese before English. In her travels with her mother, after her father died, she saw a good part of the world. Today she speaks French, Spanish and Portuguese as well as English, but her Chinese is getting rusty from disuse. After attending many schools, Rene matriculated at Swarthmore college. She was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1944. It was during her junior year that she began her novel that has her to nationwide notice. She is now at work on a second story, which she hopes to finish this year while visiting in Brazil. Rene, despite her international experiences, is completely American. She hopes to settle in the West, with an apartment in San Francisco and a ranch in Colorado.
