Strangely, it's hard to find an architect
today who diSlikes Old State The monster fas-
cinateS them. Their attitude is summed up
most pungently by Mrs. Cloethiel w. Smith,
WaShingtOn'S foremost architect in redevelop-
ment, a movement not noted for leaving old
stones unturned.
"A great many of us think it's fine old
building and want to keep it," says Mrs Smith.
"It's little fancy for what we do now But
whOknOws, some of its high ceilings and French
doors leading out to balconies where you can
get breath of fresh air may help the people
there think more clearly. In other Government
buildings the eightfoot-high ceilings and as
phalt tile floors and strip fluorescent lights
don't encourage clear heads"
Some members of the Fine Arts COmmiS-
sion are rumOred to reach for their wrecking
crowbarS when the building is mentioned, but
officially they keep silent I'm getting used to
the place." one said in burst of charity.
Other private architects declare their love
for Old State in language not easily understood
by the layman. Says Nicholas Saterlee:
1T is unique in the city, an extremely i'm
pOrtant building, not because of its question
able architecture but in the articulation of its
columns and voluteS. The new Pennsylvania
avenue and Southwest areas are in an idiom
that can't justify this breadth of range, this
treatment of mass and detail Its Uncut and
undercut effect and giving of shadow in col
umns are no longer justifiable in plain office
function But it would be very serious loss if
the building were destroyed"
To be sure, the experts perceive the mon
ster's flaws.
I'VE certainly wouldn't do anything like it
today" admits Mr. Keyes. But it has too much
character to be ugly. 1t comes across. You know
it's there. Office buildings today are too vapid
and flat-chested But Old State is vigorous and
selfconfident"
If they're supposed to be the vanguard of
new ideas, why do architects want to retain the
building? Mainly, think" Mr.. Keyes replies,
architects are getting alarmed at the rapid
change of this city'S face. We must retain a
sense of history. Old State is historic, the kind
of thing we ought to save"
Even the critics soften their blows when
they speak of the Grand Dame Il must con-
fess," says Mr. Fleming, Its offices are very
nice and large"
Lest anyone think him on the side of the
antiquarians, however, Mr.. Fleming, who re-
Gently retired as board chairman of Riggs
National Bank, has other things to say.

tribe has collected 135 million dol
lars and has spent it carefully on
such things as a huge new Civic
Cemer, Tribal F air Grounds, and
an Arts and Crafts Center all at
Window Rock, and on scholarships
for some $50 outstanding young
Navajos.
Now, it is fine to have that money
coming in but some questions
do arise: when do we Navajos begin
to learn to run things ourselves2
What work is there for our keen
Navajo boys and girls coming back
from college? Shall they come back
to the hogan and the little flock of
sheep2 Can we hold them? Employ
mem--where can we get more of it
for our men barred from off,
reservation jobs by the language
barrier2
Among Navajos asking these
questions were the more than 3, 900
men who served their Uncle Sam
with distinction in World War IL,
many in the Signal Corps, where
they used their own Navajo tongue
as a code.
RENO Sarlin, the forester,
thought he saw an answer in the
trees. Perhaps better than any
other man he knew the 74O, 1000
acres of the Navajo Forest. And he
knew how desperately this virgin
forest needed thinning. "Adecadem
forest. I" he called it, 'good only if
harvested. 3" Photometric surveys
had shown thar you could take "a
million board feet out of it every
year forever-and that you ought
to take so million feet out each
year for five or ten years ''just
to catch up" Thinking on these
things. and on the many young
Navajos he knew who needed chal-
lenging. good paying work. Forest
er Sarlin got the idea of a big
numbering operation and put it in
the ears of tribal leaders.
''What! Go into our sacred for
eStS and cut down the trees2 p
Old Navajos demurred. but most
everyone else was enthusiastic. and
wanted to know more. To learn
more the tribe brought in consult
ants, forest economists. special
lists, and practical, long-exper-
fenced lumbermen. ALI their
findings added up to: go ahead.
And so in 1858 with the blessing
of the CommiS sioner of Indian
Affairs in Washington, D. c.. the
tribe set up a wholly owned corpor-
alton called Navajo Forest Pro-
ducts Industries. Inc. put y mil
lion dollars into itfor construction

then started out to recruit the best

Although the proportion of
Negroes without an adequate

Senator Javits of New York,
q leading Republican liberal,
today hailed published reports
that Senator Goldwater. Of
Arizona, the hero Of the con-
sentative wing Of the party. is
taking q more sympathetic atti-
tude toward civil rights legisla-
ton.
Senator Javits, who is q
supporter Of New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, called a
press conference to make this
comment on the Goldwater
views:
at believe this could repre-
sent q major breakthrough If
it means that Senator Gold
water will not back up his
position by voting for cloture
to end the Southern filibuster. "
Senator Javits said he has
not had an opportunity to talk
to Senator Goldwater and adj
imitted that 1t was his impress
sion that Senator Goldwater
would not vote for cloture.
Earlier View Compared
But the New Yorker added
that 1t was also his feeling
until today that Senator Gold
water did not regard any new
civil rights legislation as neces-
sary at this time.
Senator Javits recalled that
on June 1 Senator Goldwater
was quoted as saying nothing
was to be gained by passing
new civil rights legislation at
this time.
But reports today indicated
Senator Goldwater might 60

ference.

From another reliable source
1t was learned that Senator
Goldwater had indicated to
friends that the only thing he
objected to In the Dtrksen-
Mansfield bill was the use Of
a sixth grade education as an
automatic test Of literacy for
voting purposes.
Senator Javits said he was
not raising the question Of the
effect q vote for cloture by
Senator Goldwater would have
In any challenging way. He
said he would not have issued
his statement II he were not
convinced that Senator Gold
water would follow through by
voting for cloture to achieve
what he believes In.
The New Yorker estimated
that there will be at least 20
Republican votes for cloture,
