STRIP TEASE ON TIMES SQUARE—Those long absent from New York have a jolt
coming to them when they visit Times Square. The Times Tower, completed in 1904,
shown left, in a 1936 photo, has had a face-lifting and a name-change. Because of zon
ing laws, had the tower been razed when it was converted for its new owner, a new
building would have been limited to six or seven floors in height, rather than its
present 362 feet. The building’s skeleton was stripped, center (1964), and the pres
ent structure, the Allied Chemical Tower, is seen as it will look when dedicated
Dec. 2. One familiar touch remains: the electric news bulletin sifn girding the lower
floors of the building. Meanwhile, the shows go on, the hot clogs are sold and the
razzle-dazzle traffic of Times Square continues to flow. ,
