WE WENT THROUGH the
office that Dean Rusk will
soon occupy. Cherry-stained
mahogany paneling. Rich
but not gaudy," as Polonius
would say.
About 1900 employees will
work in the new building.
State has 5000 altogether in
Washington. The others have
desks in two apartment
houses. The 5000 employees
have $4,000 telephones, so you
see how you rate in State If
you haven't at least two

almost 400 feet long.
We stepped out. Below

her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank J. Jackson.
One Of eight children Of a
National Institutes Of Health
employe. Irene appeared to be
in normal health until a rou-
tine tuberculosis skin test at
Maryville Elementary School

subsequent X-ray revealed
one Of the largest chest cysts
ever found in q child her age,
according to the Bethesda sur
geon who performed the oper-
alton December %.
Evening star., 1961-01-06

The doctor. who requested
anonymity, said the cyst filled
the left side Of Irene's chest
and extended to one-third of
the right side. 1t was attached
to the heart. lung and other
vital organs.
Immediate surgery was indi-
Gated, and the doctor pro-
ceeded rapidly. While she was
on the operating table. Irene's
heartbeat speeded up, then
stopped completely.
The surgeon took out a large
mass from the left side and
the heartbeat resumed. After
the entire cyst-mass was
pushed to the right side. the
incision was closed. the patient
was turned over and the right
side was opened 80 the entire
cyst could be removed.
Today Irene is able to walk
around her hospital room,
happily playing with a room

Curb Sought
On BuriuIs
In Arlington
Quartermaster

The Army Quartermaster
Corps and the National Plan
ming Commission are trying to
find a way to limit the number
Of burials In Arlington Gene
terry to keep from running out
Of space.
William e. Finley. executive
director Of the Planning Com
mission, said the problem was
discussed at q meeting yester-
day during which the COM
mission considered the trans
| fer Of the 202-acre South Post
at Fort Myer to the cemetery
grounds in 1864.
"At the present rate Of bur-
ials the entire 202 acres to be
annexed would be used UP in
lis years." Mr.. Finley said.
There is no more room for
expansion Of the cemetery after
this Is used up"
Among the suggestions made
to the Quartermaster Corps by
the Planning Commission was
to make Arlington "a special
cemetery for the burial Of OUT
standing military heroes" Mr..
Finley said.
"As it is now there are prac-
tically no restrictions on bur-
ials there as long as the vet
teran was honorably dis
charged" he added. I'm fact,
even the wives and immediate
members of the family can be
buried there"
Mr.. Finley said the Planning
Commission was aware that
any restrictions on burials
would probably meet strong
opposition from q number OF

Washington's fourth pre-

known as Cherry Prison." and
q sign with that name In
scribed on it hung over the cell

the suburban areas developed
as five irregular shaped spokes

He said he recognized that per-

District, which is one Of the

in the Nation.
Fifth District Growing
The Fifth District now in
cludes two growing suburban
counties-Prince Georges and
Anne Arundel. A plan which
repeatedly has found favor
among some leaders Of the
Democratic Party which con-
trolls the General Assembly
would rearrange the Fifth Dis
trict into two districts by sep
arating the two big counties,
but it would do nothing for
other areas of the State.

County.
The Northrop-Pine bill would
create 20 more seats in the
House of Delegates. but would
not disturb the Senate member
ship where rural areas most
jealousy guard their control.
The bill would mean four
more House seats for Baltimore
County, three each for Mont

Five Years Asked
The original target date for
taking over homes was May 1,
1861. while the one for stores
was January 1, 1862. The think
ing now, Mr.. Stewart said, is to
postpone the residential dead
line to August. 1861, and the
business one to February, 1862.
These reprieves, however, are
a long way from the ones re-
quested last night by the Capt.
tol Hill Southeast Citizens As
sociation. The organization at
a meeting in Hine Junior High
School adopted a resolution
calling for a postponement Of
five years.
James w. O'Connor, presi-
dent Of the citizens association,
said the f1ve-year delay would
give those opposed to the Fed
eral takeover t "maneuvering
time" to get the whole project
called of. The postponement
request will go to the Rayburn
commission.
In a related action. the citi-
zens association passed a reso-
luton asking President Eisen-
hover to review the organiZa-
ton of the Office of the Archi-
tect Of the Capitol with an
eye toward improving the
communication between that
Office and the public-especially
persons who stand to lose
property to the Government.
Several Southeast property
owners have been criticizins
Mr.. Stewart publicly and pri.

on acquiring the residential
property on Capitol Hill. They
contend many Of the offers fol

The
Rambler
-. Rooms in
Marble Halls
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Like a certain distin-
guished American, the Ram
bier knows what he likes"
When it comes to architec-
ture he dislikes almost all
the buildings constructed in
the Nations Capital in this
century.
But he likes new State.
What a triumph of color,
achievement of beauty, Of
form following function Tor
efficiency, II you will), what
richness and yet what mod
esty!
The Washingtonian abroad
from now on need never feel
ashamed that we have no
skyScrapers to balance the
achievements of Renaissance
Rome, Wren's London and
the Beaux Arts Paris.
He can merely say, II think
you would find our State De-
partment building an inter-
eSting example of goth CEN
tury architecture"
Architects may carp and
cavil. But buildings are not
made for architects argu-
mentS. They are made for
laymen to work, eat, relax
and live in.
The only thing that dis
tinguishes the exterior of the
building is its length - two
blocks, 895 feet. And that
isn't as long as Commerce.
But step inside.
The guide was Jimmy
Edgins Of State Department
Division Of Building Man
agement. And perhaps that
was Just as well, because
John McShain, the builder,
is too modest a man to be
as enthusiastic as Jimmy
about the building.

SEQ. Mr.. Stewart said the
offer was between the two ap-
praisals made by independent
appraisers. He said the prices
offered on all the property In
the two-block area were made
after two appraisals were COM
pleted.
Up to Congress
AS for what the Government
will build in the area to be
cleared, Mr.. Stewart said that
is strictly up to Congress. Il
have no way Of knowing" he
said. II have no crystal ball"
The law only specifies, he
added. that the property shall
comprise an addition to the
Capitol grounds. -.
Congress last year voted the
money needed to buy up the
homes and businesses in the
two blocks south Of the Library
Of Congress. Today Mr.. Ste
wart released q list Of all the
cash offers made by the Gov
ernment to property owners In
the area.
The highest offer was the

Club. a Republican group.

slated to be razed. The offer
on the Holifield home at 217
Second street Sc. is $52.500
while the one on the Patman
residence at lit Carroll street
Sc. is $26,400.
All told. the offers made by
the Government for the proper
ty in the two-block area come
to $4,832,100. The property
owner may accept the offer

parks and that a secondary
Federal ONCE center be devel-

some colored chalk, he sketched
his proposals for the secondary

To emphasize his points. Mr.
Hoppenfield used maps and
charts of his own design in ad-
