No Profit in University Park

Mr. Cohn grabbed my arm, kicked a cigar butt into the middle of the street and we hurried to University Park. Why the counter slowed up after he kicked the cigar stub away is beyond explanation. Mr. Bryant refused to give his expert opinion, insisting the whole project was unusual.

UNIVERSITY PARK is not without its de-

to the very end. Mr. Cohn wasn’t happy, éither. In sucH company I soon called it quits. The gentlemen assure me there's around. The government experts think there is

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20—Tt was getting--1 felt very young and full-of naval indoctrinationt

pretty dark and the sky was cut and torn with tracers and blotched with exploding antiaircraft shells. One of the ships had drifted back and was burning lazily. Upstairs the Spitfires were still chasing the German planes and the convoyed ships were shooting at everything that moved, including each other. : It was dark, all right, but it wasn't so dark that you couldn’t see the thing that looked like a torpedo splitting the water over on the beam, and the Old Man tried to swing the heavy, sluggish freighter out of the way. She swung but she didn't swing fast enough and the thing hit her right smack in No. 2 hatch, where the cute little tetryl fuses and detonators lived.

The deck plates bucked when she hit and some flame came up and it seemed all of a sudden that I was much too young to be an angel, but there, wasn’t much to do but try on the wings for size because we had 7000 tons of high explosive aboard and some aviation gasoline, teo. You stood there and waited for her to blow and after 20,000 years, or 30 seconds, she still hadn't blown.

He Didn't Give Up the Ship

- THE GUNNERY officer, who was me, finally ripped his feet loose from ‘the deck and stuck his head down the ladder and hollered for the Old Man. He stuck his head out of the bridge door.

“Do we get off this thing and walk to Oran?” 1 asked, “or do we ride her and pray?” “Vell,” sald the old man, in his usual voice, “I t'ink we stay aboard. She's still answering the veel.” a This is. about the best description I can give you of Capt. Karl Peder Olsen. As long as she answered the wheel, he would have driven the ship to Hell and back again. He was about the calmest old gentleman I ever saw, certainly the bravest, and seems not to have changed at all in the six years since I've seen him. We had a cup of tea in the hotel the other day and all of a sudden

$5 Million Dome

once more. - The oldman and I had us a bucket called the El Whitney, and we rode her in the North Atlantic and to England and to Africa and Sicily and Italy. We got sniped at by some torpedoes in the Atlantic ‘and some bombs in London and some more bombs off Africa and I was scared stiff most of the time, but not the Old Man. He regarded bombs and mines and torpedoes as minor, annoying hindrances to navigation. One time we got hit by lightning, as an extra fillip to a tough trip, and he yawned. The closest thing to excitement I ever saw him display was one morning in Gibraltar when he came in my room without his customary knock and woke me up. “You better come down to the galley, Mister,” he said. “The Chinese cook is chasing one of your fellows around with a toasting fork.” The Old Man being Merchant Marine and I Navy, he wanted both sides present to witness the punctures.

Uneasy on Shore THE OLD MAN is 66 now and back to riding tankers again. Of those 66 years, 51 have been spent at sea. He was born in Odense, Denmark, shipped out as deckboy in 1898, and has been uneasy ashore ever since. Even when the ship is in port, he stays aboard unless called ashore on busi-

ness. He told me once that land made him nervous. |

Capt. Olsen has been married 30 years, and has

spent possibly four of those years in the company |

of Mrs. Olsen. He sailed two weeks after they were married and when he got home again he had a son of a year and a half. He said goodby on another occasion, and turned up four years later.

Rolling slightly as he walked down the hotel},

corridor, wearing his neat gray shore-going suit, the Old Man turned and waved. He looked small and young for his years, and I remembered suddenly that I never really was very worried about getting home so long as the Old Man was on the bridge. And if you were to call this a sentimental piece you could very wéll be right.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20—This is the da¥ I've spent up on the scaffolding among the senatorial rosebuds. Five million dollars’ worth.

Those roses are made of plaster. They're part

of the new ceilings at the Capitol and these ure what are costing us taxpayers the millions. I only

hope they're what the lawgivers thought they keep those Senators from getting nervous. There'll

wanted, but I'm beginning to doubt it. The Senate chamber, in case you've never been here, used to have a skylight for a roof, with the seal of a different state embedded into each pane of glass. On a sunny day this made a wonderfully light and cheerful room. When clouds obscured the sun it suddenly got dark and the gentlemen,

particularly the elderly ones, polished their bifo-

cals and complained. There was one other trouble with that old ceiling. It was on the verge of collapsing on the senatorial noggins. Or so said the architects, who advised the lawgivers, for their own health’s sake, to speak softly. This they did. They also appropriated the $5,000,000 to put new ceilings on both the Sen- ' ate and the House. *

No More Daylight THEY CHOSE a design which cuts out all the daylight. Without electricity the senatorial chamber looks like the interior of a tomb on a starless’ night. All you can see is ink. \ The ceiling is a vast and rounded dame, with & kind of cornice around it to hide the new neon lights. But you know about domes. They cause The problem thus was to keep Sénators shouting at themselves like cracked phonograph records. The Capitol architect, David he's fixed the echo problem by etal of stainless steel 40 feet in diameter in the center of the celling. This is punched with 40 mil-

lion little holes (more or less) on the theory that when senatorial oratory hits the ceiling; it won't bounce, but will be trapped in the holes. ; Architect Lynn adds that from the center of the steel plate will hang a magnificent chandelier. This, he says, is for the psychologicdl effect. To

be plenty of light shining on them from the hidden réceptacles, but if a fellow can't see where the light is coming from, he's likely to worry about it.

Thinks It Is a Beauty THE ARCHITECT says furthermore that he thinks the chamber, rosebuds and all, is a beauty. There's pink marble around the walls of the gallery and, according to him, a fine aura of dignity. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts, upon looking at the plans, said they looked like a cocktail lounge to him. Mr. Lynn says he hopes the Senators will be pleasantly s ; An irreverent reporter (not me, of course) wondered what provision had been made to take care of all the hot air? The architect said there wasn’t going to be any. Somebody else (still not me) said that was a matter of opinion. Y The architect said lié meant warm af would be forced down from the center of the ceiling and cold from the edges. This would cause a thermal movement and thus keep the place perfectly ventilated even during the hottest of debate. The scaffolding comes down this week. The experts will spend the rest of this month putting on the finishing touches and the official snuff boxes. The establishment will be ready for business on Jan. 3 and if anybody complains about its appearance I know an architect who's going to feel hurt.
