The system Of office numbering Is
battling to many, and the seed OF
many jokes, but is quite logical
and relatively simple II a person
is attentive. Room 4C882, for ex-
ample, would be found on the
fourth floor in Ring C Cthe inner
ring is A and the outer one e.,
at the eighth corridor or spoke.
The floors also are identified by
colors, blue, gray, peach, green
and tan. The fourth floor is gray.
Framework of the building is
steel reinforced concrete. outside
exposed walls are of monolithic
architectural concrete, and the
mile-around perimeter wall is
faced with limestone. The build
ing rests In man-made ground on

has only one chimney on the roof,
the outlet for classified papers
which are burned each day.

films and gymnasium and

The building is heated in winter
and air conditioned in summer by
strategically located electric cells

Toward Chance

Efforts still will be directed to-
ward effecting a change In Cuba
through internal means. hoping
and perhaps aiding-anti-Cas-
tro forces on the island. BY freez-
ing Cuba out Of the Americas.
Washington also is putting a
heavy burden on the Soviet Un-

a million dollars a day to keep
Castro's regime on It's shaky legs.
This Havana Moscow alliance,
severely strained during the crisis,
is believed to stand little danger
OF collapsing. 1t is worthwhile TO
the Russians TO support a Com
munist country In the Americas.
and 1t is not possible for Castro
to exist without Russia. An un-
known factor is the influence Of
Peking In Havana's affairs. Some
experts believe that II Moscow
dropped Havana, Peking would
pick UP the payments. Just as II
did in Albania.

Official Move

The United States and the So.
Wet Union filed a letter on Mon
day with the Security Council re-
porting factually that ut has not
been possible for our govern
ments TO resolve all the problems
that have arisen in connection
with this affair" The letter add
ed, however, that the degree OF
understanding" reached made no
further Security Council action
necessary.
This was all a polite way Of
saying that the United States re-
fused 10 issue a no invasion
pledge because the Soviet Union
had failed TO gain Mr.. Castro's
approval Of on-site inspection by
the U. N. The Russians did-as
far as the United States can tell
from aerial checks-remove the
missiles and bombers. And the
United States did end the naval
blockade.
Thus. the document signed by
Adlai +. Stevenson and Vastly v.
Kuznetsoy was a partial fulfill
ment OF the terms agreed upon
by Mr. Khrushchev and Mr., Ken
nedy In their dramatic letters Of

mulka. Mr.. Khrushchev will head
the Soviet delegation to the East
German Communist Party Con-
gress, and can be expected to
make a major speech on Tuesday
or Wednesday.
All these signs, however, fall
short of providing tangible rea-
sons for optimism about the fu-
ture. In disarmament matters, the
problem Of Soviet refusal to allow
adequate on-site inspection has
prevented agreement on a nuclear
test ban or any other arms con-
troll measure. In Berlin, Soviet
campaigns to end the Vests
rights has been the key obstacle
to an agreement that could pave
the way TO reducing tensions in
Central Europe.
It is possible, Of course, that
Mr.. Tsarapkin In New York or
Mr.. Khrushchev in Berlin will Of
fer proposals that could form the
basis of an agreement. Optimists
are betting that If any agreement
is reached it will first be on a
nuclear test ban, where the two
sides already concur on controls
for atmospheric tests. The point

Berlin Terms

If Mr.. Khrushchev chooses to
intensity the split - as is likely
he may use the occasion to
suggest new terms on Berlin,
proving his thesis on peaceful
coexistence" actually can work.
On the other hand, he may act
tougher on Berlin-proving that
he is not as soft" as the Chi
nese charge.
The congress should indicate
whether Walter Ulbricht, the vet
eran Communist leader of East
Germany, is still favored by Mr..
Khrushchey. Mr.. Ulbricht, a YES

graded, 1t might indicate a shift
in bloc policy. Most likely, the
German Communist leaders, like
all the other East Europeans, ex-
cept for Albania. will support
Moscow in It's rift with China.
An open attack on China, evi-
denced by a sharply worded arti-
Gle in Pravda last week that ran
three pages In length, will further
anger Peking, already disturbed
by the public airing OF the diff
ferences. Peking possibly be-
cause she is In the minority -
has attacked in It's press, such
public disputes. She has called
for a world Communist meeting

Since Russia has a majority. Mr..
Khrushchev may 90 along with

Bergstrom, OF the American In

before the House of Representa-
tives Subcommittee of the Com
mittee on Appropriations on July
%. l94l, the first official act
which eventually resulted in au-
thority to build the Pentagon.
A former engineer and a forth
right man of strong character,
Gen. Somervell stated his case
well before the committee men,
berS of the 77th Congress. He was
ably prompted by his associates.
The group submitted compelling
arguments why a central and one
unit building was needed to care
for personnel then occupying II
buildings in the District. Mr.. Berg
strom submitted his original
plans, for a three-story building.
Navy representatives testified that
the plan was agreeable to its serv-
ice. With the War Department
settling under one roof the Mu-
nitions Building on Constitution
Avenue would then be available to
the Navy.
AS might be expected, cost was
a primary consideration of the
committee, How much?" one
member asked. Gen. Reybold re-
piled: I'm the neighborhood of $35
million" The general didn't know
it at the time but he was in the
wrong neighborhood. The Penta-
gon eventually cost at least $83
million.
The S35 million figure caused
some wrangling among the COM

in the form of travel schedules
of its leaders.
The arrivals and departures
ran like this:
FROM THE UNITED STATES:
George w. Ball, Undersecretary
of State, arrived in Paris last
week en- route to Bonn. His job
was two-fold: To explain the de-
tails of President Kennedy's null
tilateral nuclear force plan to the
NATO representatives in Paris
and to reassure Bonn that Wash
ington's offer to London and
Paris to equip them with Polaris
missiles If they would arm them
and assign them to the multi
lateral force was not an attempt
to freeze Germany out Of the
military alliance. Washington
wants Chancellor Adenauer's full
support for the NATO nuclear
force idea. since Mr.. Adenauer is
the closest chief of state to
Frances Charles de Gaulle, still
undecided on the offer.
FROM GREAT BRITAIN: Lord
Privy Seal Edward Heath returns
TO Brussels Tuesday for the next
round of the crucial Common
Market negotiations. This session
is planned for five days, to be
followed by another five-day stint
later in the month. Most British
observers believe this month
should tell whether Britain is to
be admitted as a member. Prime
Minister Macmillan said last week
the talks could not drag on"
much longer.
Faced with lack OF encourage
ment from Mr.. de Gaulle, the
British have been seeking TO de-
yelop closer ties with other Mar
ket countries. AS part Of this ef-
feet, Mr.. Macmillan plans TO visit
Rome on February l-3. Premier
Fanfani already has said that he
favors British admission 10 the

lieves, would offset the Franco

agree" was a worthwhile docu-
ment from the American point Of
view. AS a result of the accord,
the following has happened:
. The nuclear threat from Cuba
has been removed. All known
missiles and jet bombers have
been returned to the Soviet Union.
. BY standing up to the Soviet
Union, President Kennedy i'm
proved the United States posi-
ton around the world. He re-
moved doubts within the alliance
about American determination to
face the enemy on nuclear terms.
. The Soviet withdrawal hurt the
Soviet image in the underde-
veloped areas Of the world. 1t
indicated that Soviet help (such
as to Cuba) might be followed by
nuclear weapons and the posi-
bility Of nuclear war.
Q The whole affair cost Fidel
Castro heavily. Since he hardly
was consulted during the crisis
peak, it made him appear to the
world as Soviet puppet, and it
made Cuban sovereignty seem
non-existent.

found impact within the Com
munist world. aggravating Sino-
Soviet differences on how 10 deal

On Judging

When we are too young. we do
not Judge well; so, also, when we
are too old. II we do not think
enough, or II we think too much
on any matter. we get obstinate
and infatuated about II. II one
considers ones work Immediately
after having done II, one is en-
tirely prepossessed in It's favor; by
delaying too long, one can no
longer enter into the spirit Of II.
SO with pictures seen from too far
or too near; there is but one exact
point which is the true place
wherefrom TO look at them; the
rest are too far, too high. or too
low. Perspective determines the

litical unity. He told officials in
Bonn he got the impression that
If Britain is admitted to the Six,
it would cooperate fully in Eu-
ropean nuclear force. Such a force
would be sought If the American
concept of a NATO force is found
unavoidable.
Bonn favors a European nu-
clear force, but up to now, sup
port for such a plan has come
only from France, on the road
toward building its own indepen-
dent force. This partly explains
the striking Franco-German re-
approchement in recent months.
The other reason is Mr.. de Gaulle's
firm support of Mr.. Adenauer's
hard" line toward the Russians,
in the face Of softer" stands in
other capitals.
Mr. Schroeder's trip may cause
a re-evaluation of Germany's po-
sition in Europe. If Bonn believes
that Britain land the United
States are sincere in a multi
lateral force - not an American
controlled one-it may throw its
weight behind the Nassau plan
and also behind England's ad-
mission TO the Market.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Adenauer will
discuss the nuclear and Market
problems when he visits Paris la
ter this month. Any radical change
in the Franco-German alliance
may not come, however, until Mr..
Adenauer retires in the fall. Above
all, the venerable leader has striv-

out of the District, and he spoke
of marble as fitting dress. The
Somervell group answered both
suggestions with evidence that
crowded conditions and traffic
problems would prohibit the for

far too costly.
Even President Franklin D.
Roosevelt got into the discussion.
He heard opinions that such q

the city of Arlington from the
Washington side. To-day apart

the Pentagon rise twice as high0
He was less impressed with these
arguments than with a more COM
pelling one pertaining to traffic.
He addressed a letter to a Con-
gresham on the Appropriations
Committee and eventually was
convinced that the road building
program for that area would keep
pace with the Pentagon itself and
produce a more liberal distribu-
ton of traffic within the Greater
Washington Area. With Federal
grants, this has been possible.

with the verification clause. the
United States would issue no non-
invasion pledge.
This does not mean that the
United States is planning to at
tack Cuba. Mr.. Kennedy has in
dicated that his views on Cuba
today are much the same as they
were before the recent crisis. AS
long as Cuba poses no offensive
threat, the present situation will
be allowed to continue. However,
the United States plans no change
in its icy attitude toward Castro.
The economic and diplomatic boy

Fresh Attacks

The polemical war between
Moscow and Peking continued
last week with fresh attacks in
both parties press.
Aside from anything he may
say about the Berlin crisis. Pre-
mier Khrushchey's appearance at
the East German Communist
Party Congress this week will in
dicate how far he plans 10 carry
the bitter split between Moscow
and Peking.
In recent weeks. the party press
in both Moscow and Peking has
constantly aggravated the ideologi-

Would Cost More Now

At today's construction figures
IL would cost three or four times
more than $83 million to build the
4entagon. This is reflected In the
current government building pro-
gram now in progress here. A
third House of Representatives Of
flee building is nearing compile
ton at cost of about two-thirds
the original cost of the Pentagon.
When $4,000 construction men

years ago on the Pentagon, de-
tractors Of the tremendous prof.
ect said the building was too large
and would never be utilized COM
pletely, especially after the war
ended. There was talk it might be
converted at some future date to
use as a general hospital. Yet to-
day, including the Pentagon, the
Department of Defense and the
three military services have $780,
900 square feet in 49 sites in the
Washington area. They say they
need 100000 more.

A Tourist Spot

Since just about everybody has
heard of the Pentagon, during its
joke phase or later, the building
has increasingly become a way
stop for visitors. Most people who
come to Washington want to see
the Pentagon. They do this in or
ganized tours, or by simply walk
ing in the building. There are no
restrictions during duty hours. al
though policemen are ever present
to enforce the no camera rule.
AS visiting has increased so
have decorations inside the build
ing. Once its walls were barren,
but today the corridors possess
many things of beauty and in
terest. There are huge models of
Navy vessels, Army weapons and
Air Force planes, missiles and sat-
elites. There are paintings and
photographs Of combat artists
and photographers. In the Air
Forces E Ring, where Secretary
Eugene Zuckert and Chief Of
Staff General Curtis LeMay have
their offices, magnificent oil
paintings by leading United States
artists depict Air Force life In
many climeS and hang in the pub
lie corridors. Trophies earned by
military personnel are appropri-
ately displayed, as are some items
of war.
Even though 20 years have
passed since it was originally
erected, those who operate the

New Signs

There we're signs last week, as
the various foreign offices began
their first full week Of the new
year, that activity on both the
Berlin and disarmament fronts
we're, in fact, being stepped up.
These included:
. Informants noted that Mr..
Kuznetsov seemed very interested
in discussing the American stand
on disarmament matters 90 par
ticularly those dealing with a nu-
clear test ban. He met with VIII
liam C. Foster, head Of the Dis

. Without any advance publicity.
Semyon K Tsarapkin, the Soviet

gotiator, arrived in New York at

agree must be talks on disarma-
ment issues with American dip
lomats.
