Hopes Bits of White House Not
Handled Like Those of 'Maine'
l By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
' Washington, Oct. 24 U.R) President Truman in a few days is
scheduled to sign an order to dispose of discarded bits of the
White House, which is being rebuilt.
I All of which reminds Presidential Secretary William D. Hat
sett of what occurred when the battleship Maine was raised. The
Maine was blown up In Havana-
harbor in 1898, along with 60 of
Our officers and men, during the
Spanish-American war.
' Bill Hassett remembers and
tells the story better than any
body else so let him.
' Congress authorized raising
the Maine in 1911. It was towed
out to sea and re-sunk, to keep
the bulk from clogging the har
bor water traffic. All movable
parts of the vessel were removed
nd the bodies of the dead were
taken to Arlington national
cemetery.
The movable parts of the ship
like the bricks and slats and
The scum of the deep drifted
from every crevice of the good
en pieces.
The red-haired officer chuck
led as he ordered one slimy mess
after the other carted to this
city and that.
The echo of the hue and cry
still can be heard on Capitol Hill.
Particularly the noise that came
from Findlay, O.
The man in charge of dispos
ing of the remains of the Maine
chose to dispatch to the Ohio
city the bathtub of the skipper
of the ship Charles D. Sigsbee.
The tub looked worse than the
Maine herself must have rest-
unusable hunks df mortar from in thcrLn the bottom all those
h. Whi. Hu,r nfrrt!vears- The officials of Findlay
to public libraries, civic bodies,
and other official organizations
for display. For free express
Collect. They were to become
public shrines. Things to inspire
our growing youth in a bigger
nd better way of life.
' Well, the people of Findlay,
0., had appropriated a lot of
public money and had just fin
ithed a new courthouse, which
needed a shrine in front.
What could better inspire the
fenerations of the day and those
to come than a scrap from the
vessel which carried heroic men
to their doom?
The job of handling all these
requests was turned over to a
red-haired navy officer whose
name let's forget since he later
became an admiral.
He went down to the dock the
day they brought in the remova
ble ruins of the Maine. He had
in Idea about teaching congress
a thing or two about offering
something to the people tor nothing.
It was plain to see what the
laments had done to that vessel
while she rested In Davy Jones'
locker for 13 years. The metal
parts were rusted beyond repair.
ripped one slat off the wrappings
and saw the barnacles. They re
fused the charges. Nobody
knows whatever happened to
that tub.
Bill Hassett hopes nothing
like that happens when they start
to ship out pieces of the White
House.
