NOW LET'S GET to the
lead of this story, as any city
editor would say. It is this:
Due to the intelligence Of
that little cid republic in the
Alps, we have a remarkable
bit Of modern architecture in
Washington - so m e thing
that is politically impossible
when it comes to our Govern
ment buildings.
Architects, like all of us,
have to have their fun. It
would seem that Mr.. Lescaze
had, at times. yielded to that
impulse. He is q tall bald
man. He was born In Geneva,
Switzerland. His work in this
country of his adoption has
caused him to be termed the
father Of international ar
chitecture."
As to the fun Of being
modern, part Of 1t Is the
frank and open use of ma
terials, steel for instance. No
one would ever suspect that
steel was used In the New
Senate ONCE Building. Those
huge blocks Of marble must
be the building material. But
those huge blocks Of marble
are a veneer. They cover q
steel framework that holds
up the six floors and the roof.
Mr.. Lescaze has a staircase
In this little building that
seems to needle those who
would hide their skeleton Of
steel. It is a flying staircase;
no supports. It has a white
marble landing, two steps up.
The other steps are black
marble. And they are all sup
ported on two big beams Of
steel, naked and unashamed,
that lean against the second
floor at a 30-degree angle.
Here is a building that
shows it is not necessary to
be a skyscraper to be inter-
esting. The Petit Trianon is
the favorite with tourists at
Versailles. Washington might
delight Europeans more than
New York If we could have
more buildings like this.

Preview
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler had an ex-
citing time yesterday. He was
a witness to the Swiss gov
ernment's inspection Of its
new chancellery at Twenty
ninth street and Cathedral
avenue NV.
It was all a happenstance.
He learned that william Les
Gaze, the architect, was going
to be in town This Office is in
New York; and arranged to
meet him. 1t happened to be
the inspection tour.
Matthias Meier, director of
the ONCE of Public Works in
the Swiss Capital, was here
to accept the building for his
government.
The Swiss are a friendly
people. They seemed to well
come your correspondent on
the tour. And indeed that
was understandable. They
have something here that
justiies their pride in own
ership.
Ambassador Henry de Tor
rente, a short, bald, beaming
man, led the party from
room to room. Ernesto Thai
mann, the Counselor, was
very helpful. He took your
correspondents notebook
and spelled the names. Thus
this reporting is likely to be
more accurate than usual.
John McShain, the builder,
was along, as dapper a little
Irishman as ever you would
hope to meet.

missioner Robert E. McLaugh-

premature to comment now,
but added:
"As has been said in the
past. without any doubt at
all. there will be necessary tax
increases"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said there is
"meritD in criticism by the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association that an increased
tax burden will drive business
out Of the District.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
Commissioners have a duty to
encourage business to remain
in the city and therefore must
be especially careful in dealing
with the tax structure.
The Commissioner said that
a request to Congress to lift
the authorized $50 million
Federal payment to the city is
worthy Of consideration. He
added that there is a history
Of tying In tax increases with
higher Federal payments. The
city's Budget ONCE did not
recommend that Congress be
asked to increase the author
