Is Moving To Glass House By ADELAIDE KERR AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK The United Nations is moving into its new, perma nent home in the midst of, some of the stormiest political weather it has ever endured. While delegations are wrestling with the Korean problem, a fleet of movers and trucks is competing the move from Lake Suc cess, L. I., to the U.N.'s 17-acre plot in midtown Manhattan. The greater part of 3.000 secretariat workers, including Trygve Lie, is taking quarters in the 39-story, glass-walled, office skyscraper over looking East River. The building is one of thrse now under construc tion. . - Enough workers remain at Lake Success to handle the work en tailed by the General Assembly. A few hundred will remain at the old Long Island headquarters until June. By then the second new building here, for meetings of the Security Council, trusteeship Coun cil and Assembly Committees is to be completed. U.N.'s new home has been one of the most complicated housing, furnishing and housekeeping jobs of all time. It had to suit 60 mem ber nations with tastes as far apart as the poles. So U.N. chose mod ern architecture.

So the secretariat building has a heating and cooling system adjustable in each office by the twirl of a knob, its furnish ings had to be functional and comfortable to cut down fatigue. They had to wear long, be easy to maintain and keep clean to cut down costs.-They had to be bought in many different countries and welded into a whole that did not clash. U.N. Unity Is the Keynote "All these things were kept in mind when furnishings were chos en," says Abel Sorensen, head of Interior Design of the U.N. project. Lots of U.N.'s chairs are covered with leather to resist burns. Window draperies in bigwigs ollices are close-woven wool that looks sturdy enough to last for decades. Carpets are generally chenille. Ollices of top officials have television sets, so that they can keep track of what goes on in a council room without leaving their desks. The whole thing has been done in cheerful color and in modern decor. Any housekeeper would rejoice in the smooth surfaces that have no dust-catcher curlicues. When you visit U.H.'s new home, you will see a building that looks like a book standing on end. built of steel, marble, aluminum and glass, Both main walls are faced with a solid phalanx of 'green glass windows. They don't look green from inside, though; they look like usual windowpane. But by some scientific quirk, if you raise one and look out, the outside world looks rose colored. From one side you see the East River, from the other Manhattan's skyscrapers, their lights glowing like a spangled jewelbox on a winter afternoon. Upstairs, the secretariat building's glass walls are lined with Offices. Many are small ,in order to spread the window space as far as it will go. Even so, there are not enough windows to go around. So many secretaries, stenographers, etc., work in inside rooms by electric light. Penthouse for Trygve Lie 't : In the upper part of the building is the secretary general's five room suite office, meeting room, private living room, bedroom, kit chen and bath. The office is panelled in Norwegian pine, carpeted in American brown chenille carpet and hung with draperies of soft blue Swedish wool. One wall of the meeting room is lined with cork, so that maps and charts can be pinned on it. Another slides up to reveal the sitting room. The two rooms can be thrown together any time the secretary general wants to entertain at lunch or dinner. Dull-finished aluminum lighing fixtures throw the light ceilingward. The suites of the eight assistant secretaries general are smaller, but equally modern. When the entire U.N. headquarters is finished the secretariat sky scraper will be linked to the other two main buildings the meeting hall area and the General Assembly Hall. These two are low wide spread buildings clustered near the base of the skyscraper. Under ground win De a i.auu-car garage and to one side will stand the li brary, converted from a building which U.N. used for operating of fices while constructing the new headquarters. Green turf, flowers, trees, fountains and parkways will fill the rest of the site that once held slaughterhouses. Above them will fly the flags of the United Nations. "Copy Desks" for Committees The meeting hall building will have some of the world's biggest and most up to date committee rooms. Seventy foot tables some shap ed like a giant horseshoe and some like a huge "C" are now being made to order to seat the CO nation delegations. On them will stand U.N.'s simultaneous translating devices. While a speech is being made, a delegate can put on his headphone, press the button he chooses and get a simultaneous digest of it in English, French, Spanish, Chinese or Russian. The committee rooms will be panelled in mahogany, Walnut or teakwood and their furniture will be of the same wood. They will be carpeted in blue, brown or green, and their big picture windows will have harmonious draperies that take 500 square yards of materials. At one end will rise the balcony to seat the public and the press. ine same Duuaing win hold the delegates' lounges. The main one will be huge divided into three sections. The center section for recreation will be furnished in big sofas of brown, beige and ivory leather from South America and Modern United States chairs up holstered tn grey and brilliant orange wool, grouped around small birch tables. In a writing room at one end will be Czechoslovakia chairs and Finnish desks of beech and birch. A reading room at the other end win, be furnished with mahogany tables and chair uphol Profs Idea Boosts World Relations By JANE EADS WASHINGTON (AP) Since 'he '30's, when he was adviser to foreign students at the University of Wisconsin, John E. Merkel, Jr., has been working on a unique idea 'o foster world understanding. At last the Idea is taking shape. Through his efforts a non-profit educational organization known as Unofficial Ambassadors, Inc., has been formed here with the backing of a large group of important citi zens. In addition, Mr. Merkel says, at least a half-dozen foreign coun tries are ready to go along with the project. The idea is to send Unofficial Ambassadors, teams of talented, carefully-selected young people from foreign countries, on tours with mobile museums across the country to acquaint Americans with the cultures of those nations. "It's a sort of Voice of America !n reverse," Mr. Merkel tells me. He says Unofficial Ambassadors will give illustrated lectures and programs of dance and music for school, civic Club and general pub lic audiences. They will stay in a community long enough to permit mutual acquaintance, and hospital ity in typical American homes will be provided. "If you are really eoins to pe to know people from other lands you've got to see them, talk to them, learn their culture and way of living," Mr, Merkel says. Original financing of the pro gram of Unofficial Ambassadors. Inc., will be by membership fees and by grants-in-aid from founda tions. The group's first goal is to raise $50,W0 to put the first truck museum on the road by next fal' This pilo Proiect wi" So to every state capital. Later it is hoped the organization will be self-supporting from small fees collected from audiences of civic club mem bers and the general public. Mr. Merkel hopes final control of the plan will be in the hands of state and local school officials, with state universities taking over a large portion of the responsibil ity. Newly elected president of Un official Ambassadors is Mrs. Gustav Ketterer of Philadelphia, art chair man of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Myles Frederick, press officer, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U, S., is vice presi dent. A, Bowdoin Craiehill. Jr.. Washington attorney, is secretary-treasurer. Mr. Merkel is executive direc tor. Other trustees include Mrs. Harold Burton, wife of the associ ated justice of'fhe Supreme Court, Dr.' Harold E. Davis, director of inter-Ameriean studies, American University, and Mme. Alfred Jon niaux, wife of the internationally famous portrait painter. , Glasis Menagerie At Strand For Three Days From the Drama Critics' Award play by Tennessee Williams, "The Glass Menagerie," has been fash ioned, at last, the long-awaited mo tion picture. Produced for Warner Bros., the screen drama which co-stars Jane Wyman, Kirk Douglas, Gertrude Lawrence and Arthur Kennedy, be gins its local engagement at the Strand Theatre late show Satur day nifiht, also Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "The Glass Menagerie," which reputedly carried off more prizes in a ingle year than any other play in the history of the Theatre, is the story of a middle-class fam ily consisting of a mother of great spirit and indomitabllity, her crip pled daughter, whose only happi nt ss is her collection of small ani mals, and a moody son who works in a warehouse while he dreams of the sea. How their lives are bright ened and changed with the appear ance of the 'gentleman caller' makes for Screen fare, termed in advance 'one of the year's best.' Jane Wyman, as the lame girl, performs with the same ethereal quality she revealed in her Academy Award-winning role as the deaf-mute in "Johnny Belin da," while Kirk Douglas deviates from his standard rugged parts in the role of the sincere 'gentleman caller." English and Dutch men-of-war sank 16 ships of a 17-ship Spanish Fleet bearing treasure estimated at 515O.OOO.C0O at Vigo Bay, Spain, in 1702.
