from the ideal obtained by di-
viding the number of repre-
sentatives into the total popu-
lation.
Factors other than popula-
ton may be given some weight
in reapportioning the Senate.
Senatorial districts within
each county must contain about
equal population. y
DiSparities Noted
The court noted that factors
other than population used ir
apportioning the Senate must
not result in putting an area
containing a substantial por-
ton Of the States population in
an inferior position.
The court pointed out that
the greatest disparity at the
time of the 1862 general elec-
ton was that a vote in the
18th Lower House District was
equal to a vote in the Sixth
District.
This was despite the fact
that the population Of the
Sixth District was approx.
mately 35 times greater thar
that of the 18th District, the
court said.
Senate Cited
Turning to the Senate, thu
opinion said that population II
the most populous senatorial
district is 81 times that of thu
least populous district.
This meant that % per CEN
Of the voters elected a ma
pority Of the Senate, the court
said.
(Under Virginia's new ap-
portionment law the Sena-
torial districts vary from
l42,000 per Senator in the

to $1,000 in the Brunswick

.P.U.C.BeingMoved
Cafritz BuiIdinq
District Rents
Outside Space,
Ending Dispute
By CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

The Public Utilities Commits
sion, which for months has re-
sisted attempts of the Com
missloners to move it from the
District Building, is now
scheduled to go May IL.
Members of the P. U. c. and
the District Commissioners. all
presidential appointees. had
been locked IN a struggle over
the move.
James McCallister, District
administrative officer. said to-
day that with the approval Of
the Commissioners he has told
the operators of the Cafritz
Building, 1925 street NV,
that the District will rent space
In their building for the P. U.C
No Statement Today
However, the utilities COM
mission members are still mum.
Edgar H. Bernstein, utilities
vice chairman, after holding a
closed conference with James
A. Washington. the chairman,
sent the following message to
reporters via a secretary:
I'VE are not issuing any
statement today"
Mr.. McCallister said that a
proposed five year lease at
$33, 200 a year for space in the
Cafritz building for the p. U. c.
has not been signed.
However. Mr.. McCallister
said the owners Of the Cafritz
building have been notified
orally that the p. U. c. will
move in May IL and that's
when the rent will begin"
P.U. C. Hasn't objected
The PUG. "knows about the
May II moving date and has
made no objection to me-" said
Mr.. McCallister.
The District official said alter
alton was started today on 5,765
square feet Of Cafritz building
space rented for the p. u. c.
He added that the District will
pay $4,000 of the alteration bill.
Mr.. McCallister also said he
will study the space needs of
other District agencies which
might use the District Building
offices now occupied by the
P. u. c.
When the Commissioners
first proposed last fall that the
.IP. U. c. move out they were
interested in moving the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board
from its office at has Nine
teenth street NV. into the
District Building, Fourteenth
and E streets NV.
Duncan Satisfied
However, Commissioner John
B. Duncan said yesterday that
he is not inclined to recon-
mend that the ABC board be
shifted to the District Building.
The Commissioners have been
eager for the P. U. c. to move
out because of the acute space
shortage at the District Build
ing.
They believe that since the
p. U. c. Is a semi -tndependent
agency there is no real reason
why it should be located in the
District Building. But a major
ity Of the P. U. c. members
were reluctant to move and
contended previously that al
ternate quarters proposed were
unsatisfactory to them.

of legislative districts and the
new one did not meet the Fed

Realignment Sought
In Maryland, the Committee
for Fair Representation is
fighting to make the Legis-
lature realign the seats in both
the State Senate and the House
of Delegates.
Maryland is operating under
a temporary reapportionment
plan drafted after court action
last year. Gov. Tawes has ap-
pointed a special commission
to come up with a permanent
plan by the end of the year.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington, one of the nearby
Virginia legislators who insti-
tuted Sthe challenge in that
State. said today's Delaware
decision "iS highly gratifying
and most encouraging"
Reapportionment action in
many States followed a Su-
preme Court decision last year
that citizens in all parts of a
State are entitled to equal
representation in State Legis-
latureS. Suburban and city
dwellers have complained that
most State Legislatures are
dominated by rural lawmakers
who do not speak for urban
voters.
Delaware,s Gov. Ebert N
Carvel withheld comment until
he could study the newest de-
cision.
Partial Dissent
In a partial dissent to yes
terday's District Judge CaleE
r. Layton III wrote that the
court should not have ruled
the State Senate as well as the
House needed reapportioning.
Others on the court were
Chief Judge John Biggs, jr.,
of the Third Circuit Court OF
Appeals and Chief Judge Caleb
M. Wright of the District Court.
The court set down guide
lines that would govern what
the Delaware Legislature does
Among the guidelines were:
The House Of Representatives
must be apportioned ION a strict
population basis one vote
one person." The House need
not continue to have 35 men,
bers. as at present.
Population in any district in
the lower House must not vary
to an obviously unfair" degree

Highly Original Project

like any other building in
Washington. The facade would
not be monotonous. It cannot
be compared to any slick build
ing in New York because IL
strives to 60 in q different di-
rectien.s
Chairman Finley said he
thought 1--WE should take this
design under consideration. {"
That action was then agreed
to.
After the comission makes a
decision, the next step is ex-
pected to be q letter to the
General Services Administra-
tion's Public Buildings Service
outlining the Fine Arts Com
mission views, which are ad-
visory only. Thus has the de-
sign Of Washington's Federal
buildings been controlled and
influenced since the commits
sion was set up in 1910.
Called Little PentagOn'
The project is designed to
house Defense Department
agencies, and has been referred
to as "the little Pentagon.'
1t would consist of a six
story. O-foot-long main build
ing on Independence avenue
between Ninth and Eleventh
streets S.W., plus two wings
flanking the Tenth Street Mall,
serving as a gateway to the
new Southwest" p
The main structure would
appear to float" along the
south side Of independence av-
enue on 30-foOt-high sculp-
tured columns.
The exterior faces Of the
main building would be COM
posed of triangular 'panes OF
tinted glass set m anodized
aluminium frames forming an
over-ah pattern Of. l0-foot-by
l3-foot shallow glass pyramids
on the four facades OF the
building.
The l0-foot-by- l3- foot pyra-
mids would be separated by
six-story-high vertical mullions
set 10 feet apart and extending
out from the building about /
foot. These mullions would not
only be part OF the buildings
design but would serve as
tracks" for window-washing
machines.
The four-story wings flank
ing the Tenth Street Mall
would be OF masonry construc-
ton and would have l5-foot-
wide arcades on all four sides.

worries was that the building
would, disrupt the continuity
Of other new buildings on In
dependence avenue.
Something can be said for
harmony as well as for con-
trast," he said. t &
Cryptic Comment
Mr.. Perry implied he thought
the proposed building had "the
amazing element Of repose, /"
but then he added, somewhat
graphically:
Certainly you are not going
to disturb very much by put
ing in a reposeful building, but
will 1t contribute to the repose
Of the Surroundings?"
At another point, Mr.. Walker
called the building "a long
drink"
Mr.. Sasaki said it was
"starkly different" and that it
was most remote" from what
has existed before"
THE size Of this building is
enormous" Chairman David E.
Finley remarked Can you give
us q justification for a build
ing Of this size for this loca-
tion?" Previously the commits

The design was prepared by
three distinguished architec-

Nathaniel c. Curtis, jr., told

elsewhere.

otar StatI Wtiter
AS If everyone didn't know Il
by now, the Fine Arts Commits
sion has made its position quite
clear once again. It's opposed tc
any highly original" buildings
for Washington.
No matter now good they may
be.
Looking over a design for q
new Federal building, one men,
Der. William @. Perry, said at
yesterdays meeting:
"It,s an ingenious, remark
able and stupendous building" !"
But he asked:
"Is Washington ready for
that?"
Even Hideo Sasaki-a land
Escape architect-member who is
President Kennedy's sole ap-
intee-apparently hadn't got
the Presidents message calling
for future Federal buildings en-
bodying "the finest contempor-
ary American thought"
| At yesterdays session to con-
slider a proposed design for the
$40 million Federal Office
Building No. s. Mr.. sasaki said
aluminium and glass in q
monumental area is not the
thing"
Mr.. Sasaki started out by
saying he could defend the de-
sign easily II he wanted to.
But he just didn't want to.
"In Washington. we're in q
peculiar place." he said.
Gateway" Role
The building is proposed for
construction on the south side
1of independence avenue, be-
tween Ninth and Eleventh
streets S.W.
Il would span Tenth street
land serve as the gateway 70
1.-THE proposed Tenth Street Mall,
d monumental 'thoroughfare to
be built south from Independ-
ence avenue TO an overlook
above the Maine avenue water
front.
Architect member Ralph
Walker said the design was
very interesting"
Mr.. Perry. also an archi-
tect-member, said he agreed,
Were unanimous on that, "
he added.
Mr.. Perry said he liked the
design from the standpoint OF
its "levitation."
Mr.. Walker said he thought
the concept Of making the
building float Is magnificent.
But Mr.. Sasaki said he "wor-
ried some about all the glass.
Mr.. Walker seemed TO have
several views on that question
II haven't any quarrel that
you are going TO use this glass,
he said at one point.
But he added he was "con-
cerned about how uninterest-
ling Park avenue is becoming"
Park avenue. In New York,
where Mr.. Walker lives, has q
lot Of glass buildings. Mr.. Wal
ker said.
Almost Deadly"
Referring again TO the de-
sign for r. o. B. 5. he said he
was concerned that a continu-
ous glass facade would seem
almost deadly"
without disrupting the gen.
eral concept, I think there
should be some break" Mr.
Walker said.
Mr.. Perry also said he
thought the face Of the build.
ing should be broken up"
