Borglummery

Developments in the Stone Mountain Memorial controversy since Sculptor Borglum left in a thunder storm and Sculptor Lukeman was appointed to succeed him (TIME, Mar. 9, 16, Apr. 27).

P: Engineer Lester H. Barlow of the Baldwin Locomotive Works recently gave $100,000 to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association. Last week, he demanded that the Association either return his gift or reappoint Sculptor Borglum.

P: Mrs. Walter J. Grace, official of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, issued a letter to all chapters, advising them to place money raised for the Stone Mountain Memorial Association on time deposit, to lend no aid in the sale of Stone Mountain half-dollars until disputes were settled.

P: With a florid policeman at the door, the members of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association met, reflected President Hollis N. Randolph, Borglum's archenemy, dropped from the Board of Directors Mrs. Walter J. Grace.
