Miss Clara r. Noland, 80, q Red
Cross worker, is pausing in Wash
ington on her. journey from Ger
many to Japan just long enough
to marry an Army major in Tokyo
by telephone today.
The ceremony will be at o'clock
this morning at the Mount Vernon
Methodist Church. The groom is
Maj. Rolly Lacey of California, who
is with the military police near
Tokyo.
The brides father. Thomas j.
Noland, an Atlanta. Ga, real estate
man, said he probably was the most
confused person in the transaction.
IT don't know what I am in the
wedding" he said. I'm standing
for Rolly. 1t may be that I'm the
best man."
The couple met at Hunter Field,
Atlanta, about two years ago when
Miss holland was working for the
Government there, her father said.
The ceremony is being held in
Washington because Georgia does
not recognize proxy marriages and
Army personnel may take only their
wines-not fiancees-to Japan.
Maj. Lacey returned to Japan last

u. n. Nyscraper Cosl
To Exceed "a Million
By the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. Sec
retary- General Trygve Lie today an
nounced preliminary plans for the
United Nations skyscraper home in
Manhattan which would be con-
structed at an estimated cost OF
$84, 1881 ,450 and take at least four
years to complete.
No decision has been reached yet
on where to get the money.
Mr.. Lies report was directed to
the General Assembly which will
debate the plans at its September
meeting. Demolition work already
has started on the 17-acre tract
along the East River. but actual
building must await Assembly ap-
proval.
Tentative plans now call for the
first building, probably a 40-story
structure, to be finished by the
early spring of 1949. There would
be sufficient Accommodations there
to move the headquarters from this
Long Island community.
The first building would have the
appearance Of sandwich standing
on edge and would be designed to
give maximum light, air and scenery
to workers and delegates. Adjoin-
ing structures would be two OF
three floors high and cover most OF
the central portion of the site. An
other tall building for delegations
and specialized agencies was planned
for the other end of the area.
The main building for the staff
would be planned for 5000 persons.
The present payroll is approximately
5000. 1t was anticipated that the
delegations themselves would employ
2,400 persons and thus the whole
area would be geared to handle food,
Offices and all necessary accommo-
dations for more than 1000 workers.

PeacePact

WASHINGTON, DC, May 81
Meetings preparatory to formal
peace treaty with Japan may take
place next month in San Francis
CO or Washington, 1t was learned
this week.
Months ago the United States
hoped to have the preparatory
sessions held in May, but delay in
decisions on European and other
Pacific affairs rendered it impos-
sible.
Since Secretary Marshall's re-
turn from the Moscow conference
Japan and its peace with the Al
lies has received high priority ra-
ting with the state department
chief.
May Be n June
Rumor and discussion continue
as to how, when and where the
Allies will give japan formal peace
but the prospects point to June
an deither San Francisco or the
capital as logical choices.
The United States is considering
issuing invitations TO the nations
comprising the Far East commits
sion to send representatives to the
us. for the preparatory confer
ence which would lay the ground
work for the treaty-making ses'
sion itself.
Treaty to Follow
If the Far East commission ma
lions are asked to participate II
preparatory conference mex
! month they will be In on the grount
floor on the Japanese settlement.
And if that meeting proves sue
cessful, 1t Is held here to be rea
sonable to expect that the treaty
making session itself will follow
short time later.
