Trumans Help Experts
Make Selections Of
CoIors, furnishings
By w. n. Shippen

The two-year job of rebuild
ing the whole interior of the
White House has now reached
the final. critical stage of in
terror decoration.
Details of how the most i'm
portant rooms will be restored
and furnished were released yes
terday after the President and
Mrs. Truman helped make the
selections in consultations with
outstanding specialists.
The last press conference on
the progress of the renovation
was devoted to interior decora-
tion. Water color sketches of the
principal rooms were shown to
illustrate the selection of wall
treatments. rugs, tapestries and
furniture.
The task Of weighing historic
and eSthetic values has been in
progress for the last eight
months. and now is virtually
complete. Plans have been ap-
proved by the Commission of
Fine Arts, a White House spoke
man said.
Process on Decisions.
The process of making the
decisions has gone forward on
the theory that the consensus of
any well-trained group is better
than the judgment of any sin
gle individual in matters of good
taste.
Nobody. for example, chal-
lenged the judgment of the en-
gineers when they braced the
tottering old mansion within it's
Virginia sandstone walls with
enough structural steel and con-
crete to take the whole weight
Of the new floors and roof.
1t was another motter, how
ever, to determine how the walls
should be treated inside. or
what furniture and fittings
should be restored, reproduced
or discarded entirely.
Should the State Dining
Room, as one case in point. be
reftted in the original dark
oak paneling, or painted light
green?
Points Often Debatable.
The decision in this instance
was green paint, to emphasize
the graceful period treatment
OF the walls prior to the time
they were paneled. Innumer-
able other decisions were made
on points far more debatable
tnan those confronting the
builders, who are now winding
up their work.
Construction will be finished
shortly after the first of the
year" it was announced, and
another 80 days at least will be
required for the installation of
furnishings. The Presidents
family plans to wait until final
completion before moving back
across Pennsylvania avenue
from temporary quarters in the
Blair House.
Mr.. Truman has followed the
work Of renovation with keen
Evening star., 1951-10-21

personal interest since 1t was
started on December 6. l949.
Few details of a job now ex-
pected to cost $5.761 900 have
escaped his attention. Delays,
owing largely to material short
ages. however. will deprive the
Presidents family of the pleas
ure of celebrating Christmas
and New Years at the White
House, as first expected.
Unity Unknown in Past.
Yet when the family does
move abck, they will have much
to console them for the delay.
The guiding principle has
been to restore to the Mansion
the highest traditions of the
master architects and decorators
of the Eighteenth Century. The
most modern" treatment is
that of the Victorian era, and
this is confined to Lincoln's
bedroom.
The complete renovation was
financed by Congress in June.

meath festooned valances of
green taffeta. The bedspread
is to be of white linsey WOOL
sey, bordered with a heavy cot
ton fringe!
ON the third floor, old dra-
peries have been remodeled and
styled for windows in the new
and much-needed guest rooms
provided by the renovation.
They will contain 18th CEN
tury reproductions of mahog-
any beds. chests, draperies and
other furnishings. Many are re-
productions of the famous Will
liamsburg (Va.) collection. Sim
plicity has been sought through
out.

walls can be called rooms"
a spokesman said.
The White House when COM
pleted will have "a bedrooms
and II full bathrooms, plus II
half baths. Formerly there were
IS bathrooms and half baths.
Some of the principal changes
on the main floor follow:
In the front hall, the marble
floor, columns. pilasters and
wainscoting are new. as well as
a red chenille rug in the east
west portion. Relatively new
silk damask drapes will be re-
stored.
The East Room, with its
painted wood paneling. will have
lemon-gold silk damask dra-
peries. replacing the former
cranberry red material.
The Green Room, redecorated
only a few months before the
house was vacated. will be virtu-
ally unchanged except for re-
stored and refinished furniture.
Bright Blue Room.
In the Blue Room. the walls
will be covered with a new silk
material of a brighter shade.
woven with a large classic motif
in gold.
The Red Room will have walls
covered with a new red silk dam
ask OF design copied from an
original 18th century fragment.
along with a new chenille rug
woven with a classical border.
The State Dining Room. or
West Room. will. be painted in
light green. instead of being
paneled. Gold silk damask
drapes and a new chenille run
with a carved border have been
added.
An antique Hepplewhite four
pedestal dining table. received
by donation, will be used in this
room. while chairs will be re-
covered in six velvet to match
the draperies.
The Private Dining Room,
also redecorated recently. will
remain much the same, except
for the refinishing of the furni-
ture, most Of which has been in
q use in the Blair House.
Second Floor Changes.
Changes on the second floor
include:
The principal stairway will be
entered from the main hall.
rather than the secondary
cross-hall as before the restora-
tion. The entrance will be
