individuals and organizations, defi­nite orders have been forwarded to Col. William H.

The ship­ment; had originally been ordered P r . 1, but had been held up due

Woodring, it is known that the en­tire affair was initiated by Secre­tary of Xnterion Harold Ickes' na­tional park service and it is be­lieved that Woodring's ruling was an official echo of the Interior De­partment's determinalf&h to place the cannon at Yorktown, where they were originally used^

No definite date has been set for the removal of the cannon, the shipping being left to Colonel Stew­art's discretion. But it is expected they will leave Watervllet in the near future.
