Spinner Memorial Suit in Corcoran Gallery Originated by Treasury Women
A lengthy piece from Washington March 15 describes the fight by the Treasury Department women to place a statue of General Francis Elias Spinner in a prominent Washington site. The sculpture, completed early in Cleveland's presidency, stands in the Corcoran basement awaiting a public venue. The article recalls Spinner's role opening government offices to women and recounts opposition from officials and lawmakers, while noting ongoing efforts by the Spinner Memorial Association and Treasury women to honor his memory. It highlights the ladies' dedication, Spinner's support of women, and the plan to win government approval for a suitable site despite repeated setbacks.
