THE GUGGENHEIM MU.

THE GUGGENHEIM MU-
scum is difficult to describe.
1t is of reinforced concrete
and is in arcs and circles
rather than planes and rect
angles.
A young man gazing at it
while seated on a bench
across the avenue turned out
to be an architect, Paul
Pinter.
Wright has the sculptural
approach" he said. You can
see how he regarded this
building as a piece of sculp-
tory. But architecture still is
structural. Wright sometimes
forgetS that.
There is something new
in this town-more impor-
tant than this-which you
must see. That is the Schen-
ley Building by Ludwig Mics
van de Robe on Park avenue.
1t is all glass.
THE three great architects
of our day are Mics, a Ger
man: lie Corbusier, a Swiss,
and Wright. I think Mics Is
the greatest"
That called for a bus ride.
The museum is at Ninetieth
street; the new building of
glass at Fifty-second.
It's an amazing thing. Not
the least surprising thing
about 1t is that 1t is built in
the center of the block, with
a wide plaza all about it. This
is not the waste of some OF
the worlds highest priced
real estate that 1t firsts APP
pears to be. The New York
building code calls for set
backs at certain heights
above the street. The Schen-
ley Building does not set
back at all but rises straight
up. In this it is even more
impressive than Rockefeller
Center.
The glass panels other than
the windows are a dark sepia.
Instead of giving the build
ing a somber tone, the color
enlivenS it, especially at
night. This seems to be a
gay brown.
Across the street is the
Lever Building, the first of
the glass skyscrapers. There
are all-glass buildings block
after block along Park
avenue.
Is Washington ever going
to have this architecture
not the skyscrapers, but the
glass? I doubt 1t.

/. What's being done in the

2. What is the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation doing
along these lines?
3. What's being done In
Baltimore and other cities?

Role Of Mallory Case
One Of the most significant
recent events squirting police
training in the law was the
June, 1857. Mallory decision Of
the Supreme Court.
In this case the court ruled
out use Of q confession In q
trial, reversing q rape convic-
ton because there was "unnec-
essary delay" between the ar
rest and arraignment Of the
defendant. The effect has been
to restrict the power Of police
to question criminal suspects,
In the law.
A direct outcome has been
a series OF weekly meetings
held by United States Attor-
ney Oliver Gasch to instruct
local police on how to operate
within the confines Of the NAL
lory rule.
Policemen have also been
given as required reading q To-
page document concerning the
effects Of the Mallory rule.

An indirect result Of the NAL
lory ruling was the start seven

At present the program is
aimed only at policemen with

The FBi's National Police
Academy has had a similar
program In operation since 1895
and has trained more than
5000 graduates from police de-
partments across the Nation,
Only seven Of those graduates,
however. have been members

Another problem the commit
tee will explore involves difi-
culties incurred by taking men
away from regular duties for

Three Prather
Counts voided

Federal Judge Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy today dismissed three
gambling conspiracy indict-
ments against former District
Probationary Detective George
c. Prather.
Also dismissed at a hearing
in Federal District Court were
Identical charges against CAL
win D. Hoagland. who had been
charged by police with Prather
in attempting to bride a Metro
.politan police captain in 1858
and 1854.
Prather was convicted on an
earlier conspiracy charge, but
jumped bail more than a year
ago when due to start serving a
l6-month to four-year sentence
He was returned here in De-
cember after FBI agents found
him hiding on an Arkansas pig
farm. A bail jumping sentence
Of from one to three years was
given to him for bail jumping.
Double Jeopardy Claimed
Myron @. Enrich, Prather's
attorney. told the judge at the
hearing that his client had been
placed in double jeopardy by
the almost Identical indictments
in view Of the fact he had been
convicted on similar charges
before.
Judge McGarraghy granted
Highlands plea that he had
failed to get a speedy trial and
for this reason the charges
against him we're dismissed.
One of the three indictments
against Prather was handed
down in December as a SUBJ
Stitute for an earlier indict-
ment that was dropped during
the period Of Prather's dis
appearance. The substitute in
dictment also named Hoagland
known as a lieutenant to
Washington gambler Emmitt
Warning, as a co-conspirator.
Trouble Began in 1854
Trouble started for Prather
A, IN September. 1854, when
he was charged with attempt
ing to bride former Police
Lieut.. Todd o. Thomas, jr.. by
turning over more than $2.500
to the policeman.
Former Police Capt. John B
Monroe was also charged with
taking part in the bribery at
tempt. but those charges were

9 Small Park Sites
Planners Told
To Use Million
Now on Hand
BY GRACE BASSETT
star stan Writer


The Senate Appropriations
Committee today turned down
the plea Of the National Capitol
Planning Commission for ST.
million TO buy land for nine
small parks In Washington next
year.
The rejection mirrored House
action on the same money bill.
In effect. the Senate COM
mittee told the NCPC 10 use
about 81 million already on
hand 10 buy parklands most
urgently required"
Ask Priority for Four
NcPc spokesman. in appeal
ing the House action to the
Senate unit. had asked that at
least $350.000 for four priority
parks be granted. These were
an addition to Fort Dupont
Park. bounded by MasSachu-
sets. Minnesota and Alabama
avenues. Ridge road and Burns
street, all in southeast WASH
ington; land along Nebraska
avenue NV. to widen Fort
drive for a distance OF one
mile; acquisition of land along
Klingle road west of Connecti-
cut avenue. now part Of a large
estate; and acquisition OF q
strip from IS to 100 feet wide
along Broad Branch Creek in
Rock Greek Park.
The Senate budget makers
decided NCPC had enough
money in its reserve to buy the
land adjudged most necessary.
The committee expects the
commission and the commits
sioners Of the District to con.
slider the desirability of first
acquiring those lands that will
not result in substantial tax
losses to the District" the Sem
ate report said.
Play Center Site
A proposed eight-acre pur-
chase from the Chinese EN-
bassy for a Cleveland Park
recreation center near Thirty
third place and Woodley road
NV. expressly prohibited in
the House, received no COM
ment from the Senate COM
mittee. Presumably this was an
item to be left to the judgment
Of the NCPC.
The other park acquisitions
favored by the NCPC include
Six-tenths of an acre at Wis
consin and Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV. the site of a gas
station which has been the
center of a coming controversy
for years.
As part of the $3.50 million
interior budget reported to the
Senate. the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition was granted $l.3 million
more than was allowed last
year to streamline exhibits.
This money also would allow
preparation of advance displays
for the proposed new Museum
of History and Technology, to
be located south of Constitu-
ton avenue between Twelfth
and Fourteenth streets NV.
A row of unsightly tempos
along the avenue would have
to be RACED to clear ground for
the new museum.
Boost for Art Gallery
The Senate committee also
increased by $4,000 the Ma
tional Gallery of Art project
to pay for additional guards
and minor maintenance ex-
penseS. During budget hear
ings, committeeman expressed
considerable surprise that
guards of the priceless art dis
plays at the gallery earned only
$4,000 annually.
A $498, 800 increase in the
National Capital Parks budget
was recommended by the COM
mittee, bringing the total NCCP
program for the coming year
to $1.3 million.

 "She never knew what a real amateur she was - an honor able designation in any way of life
 She failed because she had no gift for self-criticism." : In pre-publication condensa- tion of her memoirs appearing in the January issue of the Ladies' Home Journal, the former Metro politan Opera star says her three years as Miss Truman's adviser cost her stature s'in the eyes of the musical world for ever hav- Ing my name connected with such a musical aspirant."
 Miss Traubel wrote that she consented to the adviser role in 1948 when Miss Truman asked for help. Her voice then was "in- experienced and rather bad,' Miss Traube says, adding:
 My first, greatest and uncon- querable difficulty with Margar- cts voice was simply keeping her on key.
 "There simply was not enough of everything - or of anything - to make her really concert or light-opera singer"
 Miss Truman is now the wife of Clifton Daniel, a New York newspaperman. She said she had not read the article, did not plan to, and would have no comment.
