Proposed Art Gallery
Would Replace Four
Tempos on Mall

A proposed new Smithsonian
Institution building to house con-
temporary art is a central. feature
of the American Institute of Ar
chitects' exhibit now shown here.
The new building would dis
place temporary buildings on
Independence avenue, Jefferson
drive, Fourth and Seventh streets
S.W.. on the Mall. Planned south
of the National Gallery of Art,
the new $40 million project is
modern in design.
John Nolen, jr., director of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission, said a new Smithsonian
building is part of the general
plan for the Mall, to abolish the
temporary buildings. The COM
mission has determined the
building lines and height re-
qirements and assigned the land,
already in public ownership, to
the Smithsonian, Mr.. Nolen ex-
planned.
Thomas M. Beggs, director, Ma
tional Collection of Fine Arts of
the Smithsonian, said the design
of the building, originally pre-
pared as the result of a competi-
ton authorized by Congress in
1898, might be modified to meet
preSent-day needs.
No Construction Funds.
The Smithsonian has no con-
struction funds but it can accept
private donations and is hoping
that some benefactor will make
the building possible at an early
date.
Congress appropriated $40, 900
for the competition, which re-
suited in the model being con-
structed. The winning design
was by Saarinen, Swanson &
Saarinen of Bloomfield Hills,
Mich. The late Eliel Saarinen
got $500 as first prize.
The new building is to contain
exhibition galleries, an audito-
rum, offices, an interior public
garden with a lily pond and
paved terrace. Handicapped
grounds would front on a large
rejecting pool.
The National Collection of
Fine Arts is a bureau of the
Smithsonian Institution. The Of
fetal name of the building would
be The Smithsonian Gallery of
Art.
Four TempOs Would Go.
The Smithsonian project
would wipe out four large tenn
porary buildings.
Although Temporary Building
E, which runs from Fourth to
Sixth streets, along Adams drive,
is not directly on the site, Di-
rector Nolen of the Planning
Commission pointed out it is
blocking one of The Mall roads.
For jefferson drive is shut off at
that point by the temporary
structure. Both Mr.. Nolen and
Mr., Beggs believe Building E
would have to go, under the
Smithsonian program. Build
ing E was constructed during
World War I.
Building E now houses the
United States Air Force InSpec-
tor General, the Navy Regional
Accounts Office, the Navy De-
partment's Cost Inspection Serv-
ice, and the Civil Service Com
missions Office Services Division
and the Position Classification
Division.
Directly on the land the
Smithsonian will require for its
new building are Building D,
Building S and the old Fisheries
Building and its annex-all
temporary structures.
Civil Service Units Affected.
Building D. which runs from
Fourth to Sixth streets, Inde-
pendence avenue and Jefferson
Drive, houses the Retirement

Race Accord a Necessity
In Africa, Bunche Says
By the Asseeieted Press

DR.. Ralph Bunche said last
night there can be no peace" in
Africa unless the white and
black races learn to live and
build together in a spirit OF
partnership"
DR.. Bunche, director of the
United Nations Trusteeship Di-
vision, said in a radio interview
over Station WWDC that there
is a parallel between the cur
rent situation in Africa and the
development of Asia.
There is a great opportunity
for the world to avoid in Africa
the errors which were made in
an earlier era in Asia, and with
tragic consequences which are
still taking their toll" DR.
Bunche said.
Describing the African conti-
nent as one of the most vital
areas of the world, DR.. Bunche
said:
In Africa today one finds the
twin issues of colonialism and
racialism on a greater scale than
to be found anywhere else in the
world"
He added:
1T is still to be demonstrated
that the two races in Africa
white and black, can learn to
live and build together in a spirit
OF partnership. There can be nc
peace in that continent on any
other basis"

working in the top-level public

Department and the military

include the publicistS of nine

than five billion cut from Air
Force funds by the Eisenhower
budget.
But Senator Ferguson, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, chairman of
the subcommittee, said he ex-
poets Congress to line up behind
the administration program be-
cause President Eisenhower
knows this picture"
The only change in Gen. VAN
denberg'S position appeared to
be a mild compromise in a sug-
geStiton that something less
than S. billion" more would be
adequate "at this time" to re-
sumo the 143-wing program.
Even before the goal was cut
back from 143 wings, Gen. Van-
denherg agreed the Air Force
could reduce former spending
plans by more than 81 billion
and still build toward 143 wings.
He told Senator Mcclellan
that for this reason full restora-
ton of the more than IS billion
whacked off by the administra-
ton would not be necessary.
The general also told the Sen
ators he did not oppose the Eli
senhower military spending
plans at a meeting of the Ma
tional Security Council April 20,
because only the overall cuts
were discussed. He was there
as senior representative of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, which had
not formulated a policy on the
matter, he said.
MY silence meant neither
consent nor dissent" he said.
1t was not until May 6 that
the Army, Navy and Air Force
were told by Deputy Secretary
of Defense Roger M. KyeS of
the breakdown of the reductions,
he said. The air arm received by
far the largest share of the re-
duction. He then protested Wig
orously to Secretary of the Air
Force Harold E. Talbot, he said.

POW Exchange Plans Rushed.
Leaders of the South Korean
government were represented as
resigned to a truce soon on terms
unacceptable to them.
They were said to be taking
the position they would not rec
ogrize an armiStice bur that they
would not offer physical resis-
tance.
Eighth Army headquarters was
rushing preparations for ex-
change of prisoners of war.
The prospects for an immi-
nent truce sprang from a still
officially-secret Allied proposal
made May 25 to settle the fate
of $500 Chinese and North Ko-
rean POWs unwilling to return
to their Red-ruled homelandS.
1t was heightened yesterday
by a Communist reply which
authoritative sources here and
in Washington considered so
close to Allied terms as to
amount to virtual acceptance.
Details of. Plan.
The plan, as it stands with
Communist revisions, is report
ed to provide:
/. Immediate exchange Of
prisoners who want to go home.
2. Assignment to custody of a
five-member neutral nations re-
patriation commission in South
Korea the 48,5O0 Communist
prisoners refusing to return
home.
3. Communist representatives
would be allowed to visit them
for 100 days and give "eXplana-
tions" and assurances" about
returning to North Korea or Red
China.
4. Disposition of prisoners
still resisting repatriation would
be referred to a post-armistice
political conference.
On this point, the allied plan
further provided that should the
political conference fail to set
tie the problem, it would be re-
ferred to the U.N. General As
sembly. The Communist reply
called for the U. N. to drop the
Assembly provision.

to change the position of busi-
ness groups opposing an excess
profits tax extension, or to try
to persuade them not to testify
before the. committee.
Mr.. Folsom denied any pres
sure was applied. He said he and
Secretary Humphrey merely
outlined the Presidents position.
in view of the impending Federal
deficit, and expressed hope that
the business men would review
their stand.
Among those contracted he
named James Madden, chair
man of the tax committee of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce: Archibald Booth, execu-
tive vice president of the cham
ber; Fred Maytag. chairman of
the tax committee of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turerS; T. j. Hargrave, chairman
of the board of Eastman Kodak
Co. in which Folsom formerly
was an official; and Carl Os-
borne, a former business aSso-
ciate of Mr.. Humphrey and a
member of the NAM.
Both the chamber and the
NAM announced last night that
despite the request from Gen.
Eisenhower'S "buSineSsmen'S ad-
ministration," they would tes-
tlfy in opposition to the admin
lstration proposal. The two
largest business groups polled
their governing boards on the
issue after the talks with Mr..
Humphrey and Mr.. Folsom.
Sees Talks As Duty.
Mr.. Folsom told the commit
tee he felt Treasury officials
would be failing our duty If
we did not explain the facts at
every opportunity we have"
He added:
I'VE feel these tax proposals
are an essential part of the
Presidents program for national
security and a sound dollar.
Even government officials have a
right to speak up for what they
believe is right"
Mr.. Folsom said that when the
business groups first took their
stand in opposition to the tax
extension, they did not have the
facts indicating a deficit of
about $6.5 billion next year. The
administration estimates the ex-
tension would reduce the deficit
to about SIS billion.
Representative Kean, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, commented
to MIR. Folsom, II can't see any
thing in the (anti-lobbying law
that prevents an Undersecretary
OF the Treasury from expressing
to businessmen his views on any
proposed legislation"
Martin Statement Resented.
AS the committee met for it's
fifth day of open hearings, with
representatives OF the American
Bar Association and the Com
mittee for Economic Develop
ment as witnesses besides Mr..
Folsom, several members indi-
Gated they resented a statement
yesterday by Speaker Martin.
Mr.. Martin did more than pre-
dict that an extension of the
tax would be voted by Congress
before the June 80 deadline, de-
spite obvious opposition by many
members of the committee. He
declared also that failure to con-
tinue the levy to December 81
might prevent an individual in
come tax cut on that date.
With a full schedule of wit
nesSes for every day next week
the committee showed no signs
of arriving at an early decision
on whether to report out a bill,
even with an adverse recommen-
dation or in a watered-down
form.
