A few random remarks on no
subject in particular
In this weather putting on shoes
that have been in cold room all
night is like plunging your feet
into two buckets of ice water.
That alone should be enough to
stifie any signs forsthe "good old
days" when it was often necessary
to break the ice in the washbowl
before washing the face. 1t is
enough to make me shudder just
to remember the years when we
lived in house with such poor
plumbing that the pipes froze if
the wind changed. After the freez-
ing came the bursting; and there
are few experiences more frus-
trating than that of opening the
front door to be greeted by water
pouring down the steps from an
upstairs bathroom or finding the
floor skating rink in the morn
ing. The people who built many Of
the houses in this section in the
good old days" must have been
hearty souls who liked to mop ice
water early in the morning, or they
would have put in better-protected
plumbing systems.
Ever notice the people sitting
at ringside during the fights on
television? There always seem to
be at least one aristocratic wom-
an, looking oddly out of place.
With her beautifully-coiffed white
hair, her pearls, and her furs, she
would be more in character at the
opera. She generally turns out,
however, to be the most enthusiast
tic rooter at ringside. She jabs
with the fighters and bounces up
and down like teenager at bas-
ketball game, joyfully urging the
fighters on to mayhem. Sometimes
the spectators are more interest
ing to watch than the fighters.
One newly-arrived citizen will
have occasion to be thankful in
years to come that his parents do
not yield to his older sister in all
things. Little Debbie Lancaster of
Cary responded to the news that
she had baby brother with, SIS it
girl or a boy?" When assured
that it was boy, she said, Lets
name him Gertrude" Worse
things have been done to poor,
innocent little children by their
parents, of course. Many a boy
has had to fight for his honor be-
cause Of fancy name wished on
him by his parents. Teachers are
accustomed to having pupils beg
them not to reveal the name that
must be put on permanent record
cards, even though some of the
names are perfectly respectable
ones. I couldn't blame one pupil
named "Ebenezer Mortimer" for
not wanting the full truth revealed
to his classmates, nor another
whose middle name was "Phar-
oah." Children naturally have a
wicked delight in the distorting of
names, and parents often unwit-
tingly let their offspring in for a
great deal of misery by providing
their playmates with a name that
can be made into material for
comedy. At least, little Joseph
Lawrence Lancaster, III, will be
spared having to write Gertrude"
on his enrolment card at school.
A cheerful thought for new
year: experts report that groceries
will be even higher this year than
last. 1t looks as though rising
prices should eliminate some of the
need for reducing weight, but it
doesn't seem to work that way.
Most of the cheaper foods seem to
be the most fattening. Discourag-
ing, isn't it.

Renewal Set
In Southwest
Moscow, Too

Washington is not the only
world capital with q southwest
redevelopment problem: a Rus
sian architect says Moscow has
one, too.
Already Mordvinow, attending
the centennial convention of the
American Institute Of Architects,
said the southwest part of Mos
COW is to get new housing over a
10-year period for $4,000 peo-
pie. To do the job. the Soviet
architect said. apartment houses
flve and eight stories high are
being constructed.
Speaking at a mass press con-
ference at the Sheraton Park
Hotel. Mr.. Mordvinow said there
is no such thing as a private
architectural plan in Russia.
Plans are developed by govern
ment bureaus and passed on to
individuals to carry out. Archi-
tects are on a fixed salary, de-
pending on experience and abil-
ity. Their wages range from
/ 900 to 1000 rubles. a month.
Rubles are 10 to q dollar.
Mr.. Mordvinow is vice presi-
dent of the International Union
Iof Architects and a member of
the Soviet Union of Architects.
He said he has just finished the
l ,000-suite Ukraine Hotel In
Moscow. due to open May 20.
Most of the questions went to
the Russian. but the other 18
foreign architects had some an
swers. too.
jerry Hryniewiecki, president
of the Polish Society Of Archi-
tects who also is a professor in
Warsaw, said that private build
ing, as contraSted to that of the
Government, is beginning to
emerge in Poland. Swedish and
Finnish architecture have an in
fluence on style. He said there
are no nDoblems in city planning
in his country because numerous
cities were destroyed by the war.
People like to live in block houses,
as they have more conveniences
there than In small houses. he
said.
Robin Boyd. representing the
Royal Australian Institute of
Architects. looked upon archi-
lecture as "a secondary interna-
tional language" that can draw
peoples together.

Conference Idea Hit
In a question period following
the speeches. DR.. Schmidt said
that he believed the suggested
White House conference would
end UP in a tremendous grant,
in-aid program bringing your tax
money to Washington and send
ing it back to you, minus the
usual brokerage fee we charge
here"
Another speaker was James
Ashley. director Of public rela-
tions for the Libby Owens-Ford-
Owens Glass Co. OF Toledo.
He said the law providing for
a minimum wage of 81 an hour
has made it expedient for Amer
lean producers to move their
operations abroad where they
have to pay a much lower wage
scale.
yet" he said, "our State De-
partment. by pulling down the
American tariff dyke, has
granted all the privileges Of our
interstate commerce to whose
who need not. and do not, obey
the law" He urged that import
duties be based on the relative
wages paid workers here and
abroad.

of economic research of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
AS the two men criticized each
others organization. DR.. Schmidt
said he was skeptical about the
"global conference" which Mr..
Reuther proposed.
He said Mr.. Reuther's JAW
wants Government intervention
to insure fair distribution of the
fruits of automation." This, DR..
Schmidt claimed. means polit-
ical determination of wages and
profits.
Mr.. Reuther, in pressing the
White House conference, urged
that it consider the impact Of
automation and other problems
relating to our developing tech
nology. He said there is much
planning under way but in in
sulated fields.
Various Plenners Cited
This, he explained. is being
done by city planners. highway
engineers. planners of urban re-
newall, and those concerned with
social engineering" the use of
expanding leisure time.
DR.. Schmidt. the initial speaker,
advocated autlawing compulsory
unionism" and amending the
Taft-Hartley Act to require the
employer to deal only with union
representatives chosen by secret
ballot from among the employers
own employees.
He maintained that Govern
ment intervention generally
means chaos. He listed inStabil-
ity in housing and agriculture
and said that the only power
shortages are In regions where
publicly owned power exists.
He said that privately owned
streets and highways would mean
an end to the wasteful traffic
congestion and such problems
would never have arisen under
private operation.
Reuther Jibes
Mr.. Reuther jibed at people
who cry out at the Government
and even want the roads pri-
vately owned. He said they would
drive down them in Cadillacs
without windshields, but with
rear-view windshields instead
interested not where they are
going, but in seeing only where
they have been.
He also took a swing at the
national chambers opposition
to Federal aid for school con-
struction. He said we have the
economic resources to overcome
the serious deficit in education,
but leadership Is lacking and
great groups like those repre-
sented by DR.. Schmidt are fight
ing it.

Mr.. Luce spoke before the
American Institute of Architects
at the annual dinner of its CEN
tennial convention at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel.
Government. he pointed out, is
"a big builder itself, and it has
the duty to symbolic in the
buildings it erects what America
stands for.
Sees Construction Era
He predicted that there is
about to take place the greatest
"the most staggering mass Of
building ever done on this
planet"
This, he said. comes at the
moment when the American
revolution in architecture" has
been accomplished. Now, he went
on. the country is on the verge
Of creating the first modern
archaeological, prosperous and
reverent civilization"
Pointing out that there are
items of millions prosperous
Americans to be housed and re-
housed" he said:
"A quarter of a century from
now, only a small fraction of the
houses which now stand will be
tolerable to the Americans who
in 1916. celebrate the 200th an
niversary Of this Nation.
Other Buildings
"And besides houses, there is
everything else to build--fac-
tories, Offices, stores, schools
churches. airports. sports arenas
parks. Fairgrounds. places of
art and entertainment-the list
Is endless. as varied as Ameri-
can life itself. And let's by nc
means forget Highways great
symbol Of a continental and
democratic people"
He deplored the great deal OF
bad building that is being done
But he added that the idea has
now been implanted that good
architecture is good economics.
But government is more than
economics" he continued. Gov
eminent must stand for things
for principles, for ideals. Gov
eminent must be a symbol. And
architecture is, above all, the
symbolizing art"
Praises Embassy Building
He praised the State Depart
ment for its policy in the design
Of new embassy buildings abroad
Some of them, he said, ARE
triumphs Of modern architec-
ture: they are also great acts OF
craftsmanship"
What has been done abroad we
must do at home, he added. I'VE
must do 1t here In Washington
