5;4' * THE SUNDAY‘ éT 5 Plans for New Government Building FEDERAL RESERVE " PICKS CRET PLAN Philadelphian Is Selected as Architect to Build Mar- ble Edifice. Paul P. Cret of Philadelphia yester- day was selected by the Federal Re- serve Board as architect for its new white marble building to be erected on Constitution avenue, between Twen- tieth and Twenty-first streets. Cret won this honor in a compe- tition, in which he submitted a design selected by a jury of two architects and two laymen Nine architects competed. Officials of the Federal Reserve Board will confer now with Cret on preparation of final plans and specifi- cations. When these are well along, & builder will be selected, and it is hoped to have the building erected within 18 months or two years. The total cost has not yet been computed, esti- mates varying upward to $5,000,000. Design Subject to Change. Cret’s winning design will be used in its fundamental characteristics, but is subject to some changes to be worked out by him and the Federal Recerve Board, subject to final approval of the Fine Arts Commission. He de:signed a four-story structure of white marble, set well back off Constitution avenue, on the building line of the adjacent United States Public Health Service on the east, and the National Academy of Sciences on the west. As described by Dr. Adolph Miller, chairman of the Building Committee of the Federal Reserve Board, the de- sign is “modern but not modernigtic, in the classic feeling. As regards its chief architectural feature, it is in the #pirit of the Mills tradition. Mills was the designer of the old Patent Office and the Treasury Department and other notable public structures in the middle of the last century.” The building is decorated in front by four great pilasters, adapted from the Doric order, and by two large fountains, one on either side of the main entrance. The building is reached by two flights of steps from | It will contain| Constitution avenue. about 3,000,000 cubic feet, and will have a garage in the basement, with east and west trafic lane running through it, and room for about 52 cars in the sub-basement There will be a cafeteria on the fifth | floor, which will be only partly as large as the fourth floor. Jury Passes on Designs. The jury which passed on the de- signs included John W. Cross, New York City; Willlam Emerson, dean of the School of Architecture, Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, Bos- ton; John Mead Howells, New York | City, all architects, and Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission, and Dr. Miller, a member of the Fed- eral Reserve Board. The program for the competition was prepared un- der direction of Everett V. Meeks, dean of the School of the Fine Arts in Yale University, who has acted as the board's professional adviser. The first structure to be erected will have two courts, open at the east and west ends, where additions later can be built. Also, the board owns a parcel of land on the north side of C street, where an annex later may be constructed, as the board has need for more space.

Convention in Tur- moil as Leader Defends Democracy. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 18— Communists and communism were given a tongue lashing today by Upton Sinclair in a heated controversy that broke on the convention floor of his “end poverty in California” forces. Cheers alternated with a few cries of “throw him out,” as Sinclair, last year’s Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor, charged Communists had in- vaded the convention and were trying to cause dissension with the idea of seizing control of the E. P. I. C. move- ment. Sinclair loyalists yelled: the Communists out.” Near bedlam prevailed before order finally was restored. The scene followed heated charges by some delegates that others had been seated without proper creden- tials. “You Communists are trying to de- stroy Democracy,” Sinclair shouted. “We E. P. I. C.s know Democracy hasn’t worked out, but we believe we might save it—and we will have absolutely nothing to do with any organization striving to bring about the downfall of Democracy.” He was greeted with a roar of ap- plause. In the bitterly fought gubernatorial campaign last Fall, Sinclair’s most ac- tive foes accused him of being a Com- munist and of seeking to plunge the State in a socialistic experiment with his “production-for-use” plan. This scene delayed delivery of & speech Sinclair was prepared to make, advising against any third party movement and counseling his E. P. I. C. followers to function within the Dem- ocratic party and attempt to capture it nationally.

PITTSBURGH, May 18—Wielding 8 wrecking bar, Mayor William N. McNair today personally helped to demolish the little $500 “dream house” he erected among the sky- scrapers on a $100,000 plot about a year ago. Known as “McNair Manor,” it was built as a model in the mayor's scheme to solve the housing problem. Constructed of wood and painted ‘white with green trimmings, the cot- tage stood alongside the gaunt, gray walls of the city prison. Thousands inspected it, but the mayor's idea— to sell the citizens vacant lots for $1 of $500 Houses and the dream house for $500—failed to “take.” As the mayor said when he built | the model: “This is it—McNair Manor—my | idea of how we can provide nice new homes for thousands. The city has plenty of vacant lots and there are plenty of people with $500.” But today, McNair rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the wrecking bar, and helped to raze it. Then he re- turned to City Hall and considered the next step in his dispute with City | Council, which he largely blames for | the collapse of his scheme. Council would not approve the idea of taking over the lots for non-payment of taxes. ndsome Sterling in a Host of Patterns at the OIld Price Complete Selections in Rhythm, Trousseau, Sylvan, Fairfax, Baltimore Rose, William and Mary, Minuet, Orchid, Empress, 1810.
