Fronk Lloyd Wright: Honest Arrogance at 81

lecture today? Chiefly to provide
the proper background for family
life" he answers instantly,
you see, divorce is an archi-
tectural problem.
IF you provide proper homes for
families-give them space, the right
kitchen design, enough room so
that parents and children don't
crowd each other-then you give
them a chance to build a happy
family life"
So. Mr.. Wright says. an architect
is physician.
He also has likened architects to
poets, interpreters and musicians.
Not long ago he said. early in
life had to choose between honest
arrogance and hypocritical humil-
ity. l chose honest arrogance and
have seen no occasion to change"
At 81, is he still so sure of him.
self?
Il am a little nervous for fear
that I may now be with the cur
rent" he replied. "It has turned and
I am little afraid of going down.
stream when, all my life, I have
been going upstream"
To find such wide acceptance Of
his ideas as to be moving now with
the current"-this would be q
strange position for him.
For we'll over a half century, Mr..
Wright has been an architectural
hereto denying the old traditions,
the rebel breaking away from the
past, the Ishmaelite with every
mans hand against him. He was
not uncomfortable in this role.
Just a Busted Flush
He said modern architecture"
would not last 10 years. The mod
ern city, in his view, was "a busted
flush" Housing developments were
sanitary slums" and the United
Nations building "cliche."
In a speech to architects. he said.
Gentlemen, you are whitening on
the vine" And in a more recent one
to an audience of interior decora-
tors, he referred to them as "in-
ferior decorators"
Fierce controversy blazed up
around him. He was accused Of sac
rificing function to form, utility to
effect. Before he received the high
est award of the American Institute
of Architects. those who opposed
the honor said, "the qualifications
of Mr.. Wright have been. and still
are, subject to serious question"
Regarding the proposed memorial
in Venice, Mr.. Wright himself tells
you the comment Of Ernest Hem
ingway-"better a FIRE in Venice
than a building by Frank Lloyd
Wright"
To which he retorts-"just q
voice from the jungle"
Some 20 years ago the critic.
Alexander Woollcott, wrote: If I
were suffered to apply the word
genius to only one living American,
I would have to save it up for Frank
Lloyd Wright"
Today, the architect says, ALEC
meant to help with that remark.
But in the long run it was q dis
advantage. Why? Because Amer
leans feel uncomfortable around an
uncommon man. In this country,
we glorify the common man."
He was recognized and acclaimed
in Europe before he had any sup
port in the United States. .
The sheer dimensions Of his life
apart from the high drama and
tragedy in it-are almost stagger-
ing.
He struck out on his own more
than so years ago. Since then,
he has built 1859 different buildings.
Each expresses an idea" he says,
land each is true to its idea"

The answer is that under Mr..

Women Told

A comparison Of the Demo-
cratic and G. o. p. Party rec
ordS and candidates will lead
voters to vote Republican this
fall, Miss Bertha Adkins, as
siStant chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee,
predicted yesterday.
Addressing a meeting Of the
Rock Greek Republicans
Women's Club of Montgomery
County, Nd, in the auditorium
of Woodward g. Lothrop's
Bethesda store, she said:
"They are going to compare
our record-of peace and
proSperity-with the 20-year
record Of the Democrats
years Of war, imitation. high
taxes and corruption in gov
eminent. They are going to
compare the records and vote
Republican"
Miss Adkins added that the
people know that President
Eisenhower stands for peace,
security, thrift and integrity.
But what do the Democrat
candidates stand for?" she
asked. Thus far they have
not bothered to tell the Amer
lean people. But they have
definitely told us what they
think of each other"
"Adlai says of Kefauver: He
is unworthy of the presidential
nomination. Kefauver says of
Adlai: "A ticket headed by Ste
venson would be an unaccept-
able package to the majority Of
the voters" Miss Adkins added.
How do you think the DEM
ocratS could lead this Nation
in harmony and unity when
they cannot even be civil to
each other? I leave judgment
to the American people-to
judge and approve our record
of peace and prosperity" she
concluded.

Elizabeth Reese, vice presi-

manager in retailing, then
operating a grocery store Of
her own in a tough neighbour
hood where she specialized in
unusual advertising gimmicks,
called the police only when
necessary, made money and
sold the store at a profit.
From there she went back
to retailing until she became
a personnel director. Then,
she told us, MY goal was ac-
