but to erect the necessary buildings.
Both the United Nations and the
United States might properly have
taken exception to the squeeze play
that is in process. A proper self
respect called for an out-of-hand
rejection, instead of which the Con-
gress is falling all over itself to pass
legislation required as condition
to the grant. The proud State Of
New York is also hastily jumping
through the legislative hoop with
special laws that have been de-
manded, while the city Of New York,
which will lose at least 100000 a
year in real estate taxes by the
transfer of this property to the
United Nations, is ready to yield all
right and title to certain streets,
docks and other appurtenances to
the site.
Whole Performance Criticized.
There Is an unseemly arrogance
about this whole performance. oil
course, the selection Of this particu-
lar area will prove to be a shot in
the arm for New York real estate,
although 1t is not suggested that
any such design inspired the offer.
But perhaps other cities need as
badly as does New York such q shot
in the arm. On any basis of fair
play, other cities were entitled to
enter a competition In which the
decision apparently was to be deter
mined by the amount of cash
offered.
1t seems to me that the protests
of the Al architects and designers.
although they were fully justified,
would have rested on firmer foun-
dation If general objection had
been made to the flashing of money!
to influence decision involving
practical consideration as well as
esthetics. It would have been far
less Objectionable If Mr.. Rockefeller
had announced his willingness tol
contribute $500, 600, to be used at
the discretion of the United Nations
IN acquiring a site selected by them
without any attempt to influence
their Judgment. It also goes with
out saying that the United Nations
should have had complete freedom
with respect to selecting the ar
chitect.
While 1t may not be proper "to
look gift horse in the mouth" one
need not accept the horse, especially
If to do so would be beneath the
dignity both of the United Nations |
and Of the United States of America.

Just as much space as a disarma-
ment conference or President Hoov-
er's induction into the Blackfoot
Tribe or President Roosevelt's effort
to provide housing for the needy.
There was always picture of Man.
vile, wearing a black shirt and his
heart on his checkbook, a picture OF
the lovely American girl who had,
after q search Of the world, found
her true mate and protector, a state
ment from the Judge who was to
marry them, a few words Of blessing
from the parents Of the girl who was
about to enter the holy bonds of
wedlock for seven months or less,
and an aerial view Of Manville's S
New York castle where, 1t is said,
two gardeners are kept busy NOW
ing the hair Of visiting process
servers.
It is shame, 1t seems to me, that
Manville's latest romance got only
a couple Of paragraphs, because in
many ways it Is the most heart
warming and spectacular of all his
dashes to the altar. In the first place,
the announcement defied the fact
that he is still married to his eighth
(8thO wife. In the second, his in
tended is his house guest, becom-
ingly willing to wait for the nuptial
ceremony until the little matter of
divorce and alimony can be settled.
That shows that Miss Crystal Ames,
%, is true American girl, and will
60 through almost anything to even
tually bear the proud and respected
name Of Mrs. Tommy Manville.
In the third, the forthcoming
marriage will unite two Of the finest
families in America, being as Miss
Ames was formerly married to a
nephew of Harry K. Thaw. Even
the dullest schoolboy knows what
Thaw contributed to this country
and its headwaiters.
If marriage is important, then
Manville is important. It is the
dream OF every American girl some
day to find a husband. Manville
has done more than his part to
see that such dreams are realized.
He stands ready to marry at the
drop of an interlocutory degree.
Others may stand back and shy at
the thought of marriage, with its
responsibilities and burdens, but not
Manyille. With a nonchalance that
makes us common men look on in
awe, he is ever ready to drag a
girl to the altar, down the paths OF
notoriety, and leave her amply pro-
tected against the spotlight of pub
licity by 2 inches of ermine, an
inch OF jewels, and the distinction
Of being known as one of '"Tommy's
ex's."
I wish had space enough to pay
him full tribute. I would like to
comment on how much he has
meant to American youth. would
like to tell what he contributed to
this country in some Of its darkest
hours. I would like to give you a
full report on his war effort, and
how much the thought of him
meant to the boys at Tarawa, Guad-
alcanal and st. Lo.
I wish Manville and Miss Ames
all the best In the world. They'll
need it.

Harrison was chosen as the prin-
cipal architect Of the United Ma
tions buildings. However, it Is sig
nificant that he was the CO.
designer of the Rockefeller Center
and it was Mr.. John D. Rockefeller,
jr., who offered the site under dis
cussion on the. basis of take it or
leave 1t, but hurry up about It,"
The whole affair smacks too much
Of shotgun marriage to suit the
taste of the average American. The
choice should have been made free
ly and effectively by the United
Nations. There should have been no
undue pressure. It is not necessary
to question the motives of Mr.. Rock
efeller, hut one is entitled to won-
der about the propriety and the
good taste involved in this whole
transaction. The site was apparent
ly selected initially without consult
ing any one in authority in the
United Nations or even in the
United States Government.
NO one SnoulQ De permitted 10
patronize either the United Nations
Or the United States. The site
should not have been selected on
the basis Of cash gratuity even
though Of large size. There were
several cities in the country
notably Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Boston-that aspired to be the
permanent location of the United
Nations headquarters, and if the
site was to be determined by cash
on the barrel-head, these cities, in
all fairness, should have been given
an opportunity to enter the bidding.
In not promptly declining this
cash offer, both the United Nations
and the United States suffered in
their dignity and prestige. The
United Nations should have been
left free to select its own site un-
influenced by any considerations
other than those OF convenience,
architectural possibilities and good
taste. Surely the IS United Nations
could have raised the money nee
essary, not only to acquire the site,

leaders. This means that while
there is an actual Republican ma
jority in the Senate it Is so slim
that, with any detection at all, DEM
ocratic votes are needed to make it
function. Considering these things,
it is easy to understand why clean
cut and effective action Is more to
be looked for from the House than
from the other branch.
