FERNALD BACKS MOVE FOR NEW ART EDIFICE Maine Senator Believes Proposed $50,000,000 Building Program Should Include Structure. $1,000,000 IS ASKED AT FIRST ‘Wing of Future Complete Gallery Could Be Erected Now. Senator Bert M. Fernald of Maine, chairman of the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds, believes in the development of Washington as the most beautiful city in this coun- try or in the world. He 18 backing the proposal of President Coolldge that Congress authorize an appropri- ation of $30,000,000 to be expendad In Washington for public bulldings over a period of ten years. The senator believes also that the bullding pro- gram should include a home for the National Gallery of Art, now so in- adequatcly housed in the natural his- tory building of the Smithsonian group. A concrete proposal for the govern- ‘ment’s building plan in Washington is contained in & bill recently intro- duced in the Senate by Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Public Buildings Commission. This bill has been referred by the public buildings and grounds committee to a subcom- mittee consisting of Senators Keyes of New Hampshire. Shipstead of Min- nesota and Mayfield of Texas. The supporters of the project for a building for the National Gallery of Art may undertake to bring about an amendment of the Smoot bill 50 as to make specific mention of a gallery building. It has boen estimated by ojeials “conected with the National Gallery that it would be possible to construct a building—possibly a wing of the final home of the galiery—for $1.000,000. Such a structure would be & tre- mendous step toward the proper hous- ing of the National Gallery. already containing paintings and objects of art valued at $5,000,000. As soon as the architeet’s plans for the building for the National Gallery have been completed, as proposed by the National Gallery Commission at its last annual meeting, it will be possible 10 make definite estimates for the struc- ture, and to take the matter up with the proper officlals, inclusng the budget bureau. It ix planned to seek legisla- tion at the present Congre: ing the erection of the National Gallery building. either through the Smoot bill, or through a separate measure.
