ECHO OF A BOMB by Mari

Both these books are about
spies, but Mr.. Derby would
have profited tremendously if
his book had not been pub
llshed at the same time as Mr..
Marquand's. The latter has re-
called Mr.. Motto to active duty,
but the story is really about
two Am erican intelligence
agents, a man and a woman.
in Toyko today. We haven't
the faintest idea how covers
are created for agents. but we
found Mr.. Marquand's con-
ception OF it fascinating. Mr..
Derby's book is about an Eng
fish photographer who goes to
Jakarta as an amateur agent
to avenge the murder of a
friend and to stop the murder
of still another agent. His
mission becomes complicated
when he falls in love with a
Chinese Communist spy. Both
authors dared to include
tragedy. which in spite of the
Uttered landscapes, is
almost tabu in mystery books.
Mr.. Marquand succeeds. But
we couldn't help wondering if
Mr.. Derby was kidding. If he
wasn't, he should have been.

THE OPPORTUNIST. By
Samuel You'd. Harper and
Bros: $685.
Without doubt, this will be
one of the new years best.
The plot alone is superb. and
to give it away would be
criminal. The fine early scenes
of the childhood of the hero,
Frank Bates. and his friends,
the four magnificent Manson
Children. are bathed in light
th$s fades and fades as the
chilling tale is told. The
puzzle becomes not who did
lL-Dut why it is done. A subtle,
beautifully written book. with
an honest, striking conclusion.

Dave Wintino is a cop who

AS far as Mrs. Wintino is con-
cerned, cops simply aren't
chic. Young and cocky. Dave
likes the force enough to
spend his time off looking for
the killer of two retired police

book. Wintino is right. the
settings are right-at home.

COMMENTS
This plan was suggested for
detailed study in an effort to
provide for a suitable White
House Office building on a site
that could be included in the
White House grounds without
the necessity of razing the Old
State, War and Navy Building
The cost of the plan is esti-
mated to be $685. 900. The ma
Ijority of the commission agree
that the disadvantages far out
weigh the advantages.

Selection of the Plan

In accordance with its analysis
of the several plans that app
peared to merit intensive study.
the Commission made its selec-
ton of the plan to be recon-.
mended. The following is the
resolution on the subject, which
is quoted from the minutes Of
the meeting of April 3. 1857:
The Commission is unani-
nous in the opinion that Plan
One is the most efficient. and
best adapted to the needs Of
the President, 1t is recon-
mended by majority of the
Commission.
However. the Commission
calls attention to the fact that
such plan requires the demolition
of the Old State, War and Navy
Building.
plans Five and Six do not
contemplate the demolition Of
the Old State, War and Navy
Building. which plans are men,
toned in this report in order
that they may be considered in
the event that insuperable OBJ
jectives should prevent the adop.
ton of Plan One, which is here.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-03

The Commission has recog-
nized from the outset the need
for early and extensive improve
ment of the Office arrangements
and facilities available to the
President and his immediate as
slstants. The Importance and
urgency Of the matter has been
increasingly evident as the in
vestigations have proceeded. The
manner in which the required
improvement should be made
has been considered comprehen-
sively and effectively. No pos
slble plan or suggestion has
knowingly been omitted from
consideration. although not every
possibility suggested has been
deemed to merit investigation
and recording in this report.
The majority Of the Commits
sion agree in its findings and
recommendations. All members
are in accord that a more eff
cient plan has not been devised.
All agree also that early steps
necessary to provide the i'm
provements so urgently needed in
the space and facilities for the
White House Office and other
agencies of the Executive ONCE
Of the President, are highly de.
sirable and that action should
be taken thereon as promptly as
national policy on budgetary and
fiscal considerations permits.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-03

still be in temporary, makeshift
and inefficient accommodations.
COMMENTS
The cost of this plan is esti-
mated by the Commission at
$25 million. 1t is similar to
one of the plans studied by
Robert Heller and Associates,
Inc. 1t is likewise comparable
to the proposal initiated by the
President and rejected by Con-
gress in 1916. The Commission
agrees with the conclusion in
the Heller report that the plan
does not offer a desirable solu-
ton of the problem of presi-
dental office space.

tional plan for the Offices sur
rounding the President.
The assignment Of space to
give satisfactory working rela-
lions in the White House Office
would result in much less eco
nomical space utilization than
would be obtainable in a we'll
designed modern structure.
Once again the White House
Office would be housed under
altered makeshift arrangements
in a structure not suitably de-
signed to serve the unique needs
of the President and his Offices
The plan could not be con-
sidered to offer permanent So
luton of the long-pending prob
lem.
COMMENTS:
The cost of the plan is esti.
mated to be $28,770.000. The
commission early agreed thai
it should not recommend any
plan that would not offer a much
better and more permanent ar.
rangement for the executive
Office. and especially for thu
Office of the President, thar
previous measures have af'
forded.

DESCRIPTION

Renovate and remodel the old
State. War and Navy Building
for the use of the White House
Office. and for other units of the
executive Office to the extent
that space may permit, and con-
meet 1t to the White House by
tunnel.
Provide for the remaining or
ganizational units of the execu-
tive office in Building Project

Remodel the west wing Of the
White House for use as quarters
for visiting dignitaries.
ADVANTAGES
The plan would establish the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-03
:

Presidents Office in a location
close to the White House grounds
1t would provide convenient
access from the White House to
the Office by tunnel.
1t would provide quantltatiyely
the space needed by the White
House Office in one building.
1t would permit the removal
Of Office activities from close
association with the residence
functions of the White House.
DISADVANTAGES
The White House Office and a
large part OF the remainder of
the executive Office would be in
an 60-year-old building that will
require replacement in the not
too-distant future because of its
costly maintenance and opera
ton and its waSteful utilization
OF space.
The inflexible interior ar
rangement Of the building to be
renovated for this purpose would
preclude the best integrated func-

grounds.
The Presidents Office would
be moved north across Pennsyl-
vania avenue away from the
White House grounds.
The connection by tunnel Ia
the White House would be long
with consequent increased cost,
and some convenience would be
sacrificed.
1t would provide less security
to the President, since other Or
CARNATIONS would be housed in
adjacent portions of the building
1t would require additional Sc
curity measures for the Presi-
dent.
1t would leave the Old State
War and Navy Building for &C.
cupancy by agencies that have
no close relationship to White
House Office activities.
COMMENTS
The cost Of the plan is esti-
mated to be $32.s70.000. The
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-03

lent in size to the existing
structure. would overshadow the
White House. detracting from
its appearance and dignity.
1t would remove the Presi-
dents Office from the White
House grounds.
1t would detract from the Sc
curity of the President and his
immediate Office. since other
agency occupants would require
more freedom of public entrance
than should be allowed in the
White House Office.
1t would require additional Sc
curity measures for the Presi-
dent.
1t would make Standardization
of structural design difficult and
so would increase costs. Separate
facilities and arrangements
unique to the purposes and
functions of this Office would
preclude their inclusion in nor
NAL office space. Designs for this
area would differ from those for
the areas of other occupancy be-
cause different functional re-
quirements would be involved.
1t would detract from the dig
nifty and Importance of the APP
pearance of the Office of the
President of the United States.
COMMENTS
In essence this plan is the one
recommended in the repdrt
by Robert Heller and Associates,
Inc. The cost of the plan is es-
timated to be $35. 7O0,0 900. In the
Judgment of the Commission the
disadvantages of this plan far
Outweigh the advantages.
