One Big City
From Gotham,
To D. {. Seen
BY J. A. OTEARY
Star Staff Writer


Gov. David Lawrence of
Pennsylvania told Congress to-
day that urban areas are grow
ing so fast that eventually
there will be on "solid city
from Washington to New York. ="
He made the statement while
testifying before the Senate
Government Operations Com
mittee in favor of President
Kennedy's proposed Depart
ment of Urban Affairs.
The Governor said such a de-
partment should be created for
two reasons:
"It would provide fair rep
resentation for the interests Of
our predominantly urban pop
ulation in the executive branch
of the Federal Government, and
it would allow the administra-
ton to coordinate more fully,
economically and efficiently the
existing Federal activities in
urban affairs and housing"
The Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States went. on
record against the new depart
ment. 1t asked the committee
instead to investigate what it
called serious weaknesses and
abuses" in the handling of COM
munity development programs
by Federal housing agencies.
Gov. Lawrence, a Democrat,
agreed with Senator Javits, Re-
publican of New York, that no
member of Congress should de-
eide this question on the basis
of who would be appointed to
head the new department.
The Senator was referring to
President Kennedy's announce
ment that he would name
Housing and Home Finance Ad-
ministrator Robert c. Weaver,
a Negro, as Secretary of Urban
Affairs. Gov. Lawrence said
no question should be raised
concerning whoever is ap-
pointed except his ability.
Edwin P. Neilan, board chair
man of the Bank of Delaware,
presented the chambers posi-
ton in testimony prepared for
the Senate Government Opera
ton.
The agency's present Federal
subsidy programs for commu-
nifty development, he said, have
led to land speculation and
Windfall profits, waste due to
cleared land remaining idle
and maladministration in many
cases.

Fire Sweeps
Embassy Job

MEXICO CITY, Feb. Is
(AP).-Fire swept through the
partially completed new United
States embassy building here
last night. Flames shot as high
as $50 feet. causing steel girder
work to collapse and destroying
wooden scaffolding. No one
was hurt.
Official sources said there
was no indication of sabotage.
Officials believed the fire may
have started from a short cir
cult in a carpenter shop. An
investigation was ordered. A
Mexican official estimated the
damage at about $160,000.
Officials feared the fire may
have set back completion of
the 81 million structure from
six months to a year past the
original target date of August
1868. Only the foundation,
basement and first two floors
had been completed. The build
ing was designed to be the
largest United States Embassy
in Latin America and one of
the three largest embassies in
the world.
About 400 construction work.
ers were on the job when the
fire broke out in the building
on the Paseo de la Reforma,
the city's major thoroughfare.
A hundred volunteers Joined
the workmen to battle the
flames until firemen arrived.
FirefighterS were hampered by
low water pressure, but man
aged to get the fire under con-
troll 80 minutes after it had
started.
A witness said flames en-
quilted the wood scaffolding
within three minutes and steel
girders "bent like chewing
gum" in the intense heat. How
ever, a partially completed
cement wall along the build
ing's south side apparently
saved the new luxury hotel
Maria Cristina nearby from
serious damage.
A mammoth traffic jam
built up along the Paseo de la
Reforma as the flames cast a
bright glow over the area,
lighting up the famed Golden
Angel, Mexico's independence
monument, not far away.

A spokesman said today the
White House has never granted
special privileges on condition
that donations be made to Mrs.
John F. Kennedy's project to
redecorate and furnish the
Executive Mansion.
"The Fine Arts Committee
was set up for people to make
voluntary contributions so that
the White House could acquire
art objects" Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said. Anyone
who likes may contribute.
obviously there Is no quid
pro quo and never will be-"
Quid pro quo means some
thing in exchange for some
thing.
Mr.. Salinger's comments were
in response to questions about
a published report that Life
Magazine made a substantial,
donation to Mrs. Kennedy's
program after publication of an
article on the program last
year, and that one is expected
from the Columbia Broadcast
ing System. CHS filmed the
White House tour conducted by
Mrs. Kennedy which was tele-
vised last night.
Contribution by Life
The New York Herald Trib-
une said this morning that Life
made a donation, reportedly of
at least $4,000, to the Fine
Arts Committee. It said CHS
plans to make a cash contribu-
tion but that network officials
say the amount has not yet
been determined.
In New York, Life magazine
spokesman said the publication
was making a contribution but
that the figure would not be
made public.
The spokesman said the con-
tribution was made latter the
story was prepared and in line
with Life's policy through the
years. We have always sup
ported national shrines and
museums with corporate con-
tributions. 1t is really a measure
of good will"
The National Broadcasting
Co. also televised the White
House tour program but the
American Broadcasting Co., to
which the show also was made
available, did not.
James c. Hagerty, ABC vice
president for news, said today
that ABC would carry the tour
Sunday at $3.50 pm. (EST). He
made the disclosure in Omaha
where he went for a speaking
engagement.

Among the families that said

half use il for cooking and drlnh-

When asked what they liked about

Instant dry milk was used by
relatively more higher status Ne
