BY BRUCE CATION Democrat Washington
 COrresn0ndent


 Washington, July 5-The State Department doesn't carry him on its books, but one of the most impor- tant of all American diplomats dur ing the next two years will be Ad. Eniral Thomas c. Hart, U. s. N.
 Admiral Hart is now en route t0 China, where he will take over command of the Asiatic fleet, re- Meving Admiral Yarnell. And. although the Asiatic fleet is a pret- ty weak collection of fighting ships the job of bossing 1t is just about the biggest job the navy has to of- fer.
 That is because the admiral in command has to be more than just Q naval officer. He carries on nego- tiations with foreign powers; has to make quick, spur-of -the -moment decisions which might easily mean the difference between war and peace, and can't always stop to wire- less his government for orders be- fore making them.
 He also has the pleasant knowl- edge that, if war does come, he and his little command will be right under the gun, with over- whelming enemy forces all around them and home thousands of miles away.
 SEA.DOG
 All in all, few American public officials have more profoundly im- portant jobs than Admiral Hart will have for the next two years. So he's worth getting acquainted with.
 First of all, he isn't the sturdy sea dog of popular tradition. He Is slightly under medium height, extremely quiet and soft . spoken. has gray hair, and looks substan- italy younger than his 62 years. Officers who have served with him have great respect for his mental ability; say he's clear thinker with an analytical mind, phenomenal memory and great deal of driving force. As a commanding officer, he seems to inspire his subordinates with both liking and respect.
 Its impossible to think of any one doing better job out there than Admiral Yarnell has done," said one high-ranking officer. "On the other hand, it's impossible to think of @ man in the navy who 9 better qualified to take Admiral Yarnell's place than Admiral Hart"
 Admiral Hart has had varied and distinguished career; command ed the two submarine divisions which the United States sent to Flu. rope in 1917, served on the staff of

 Of attractive bullflnch colonial architecture and a modified repro- duction of the old state house in Hartford, the Connecticut State building is notable addition to @ group of state structures that in- cludes those of Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont and Massachusetts and the adjacent buildings of Stor- rowtonn Village and that of the New England State grangers. In announcing completion of the structure, the state building trus- tees, Olcott F. King, chairman, also presented an acknowledgment from Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, together with a brief resume of the expo- sition's history, that of the Con- necticut building itself and the plans for its use.
 In his acknowledgment, Governor Baldwin says: We in Connecticut have much of which to be proud and we should not hesitate to tell the world of our accomplishment This announcement, designed to &C., quaint the citizens of Connecticut with the manner in which the Con- necticut building on the Avenue of States at the Eastern States Exposi- ton, West Springfield, Mass, was erected. is but 8 small tribute to the industry and enterprise of the trustees who were instrumental in creating building to house Connec- ticut exhibits.
 "The trustees have fulfilled their obligations admirably and, with the formal dedication and opening of the building scheduled for Septem- Der, 1t now becomes the duty of all Connecticut citizens who take pride in their state to lend their support to the trustees in their endeavor to place exhibis in the Connecticut building which will benefit the state and its institutions.
 "As governor of Connecticut, I take this opportunity to thank those who helped to make this Connecti- cut building possible, and to express my hope that the same cooperative spirit will provide the building with exhibits which will set forth our many accomplishments"
 Funds for the structure were pro- vided by the Legislature of 1887, which appropriated $35,O00, provid- ing $25,000 or more was raised by popular subscription. Contributions exceeded the state appropriation Under the leadership of Former Governor Wilbur L. Cross, more than 200 men and women representing industry, business and agriculture as well as public spirited individuals contributed $38,950 to the building fund.
 The Connecticut Building provides modern exhibition hall with more than 5000 square feet of floor space. This year attention will be devoted to preparing for the opening exhibits of September IT to 23, but plans of the trustees provide for future utili- zation of the state building for per- manent displays and summer infor- nation headquarters.
