Library Buildings
7 PORTLAND, Sept. l-iiPJ-The
capitol reconstruction commission
called the board of control to its
aid today to determine the type,
cost and purpose of a building to
fit ! the million dollars . available
for farther capitol development at
Salem.
. Following the approval of prop
erty purchases amountinf to more
tfran $128,000 on the block ad
joining the main capitol structure,
the commission considered three
schemes for a library building or
, a library and office building com
bined. First Discarded
An Too Costly v
No. 1 went into the discard Im
mediately when Whitehouse ft
Church, the architects, listed its
cost at ; 11,213,000, It; Included
space to meet library and office
growth for 25 years. - ,
The second plan .as similar to
the first except'thati it cut down
office and library space to come
within the budget IThe exterior
would be ot marble ind bronse to
conform to the main capitol. It
did not allow for funds for land
scaping and street changes. The
building would cost around 1170,-Uhe Waterfront Employers asso
inn relation, said fa serious situation"
.The third proposal'ravlded for
a library estimated to cast about
$(50,000 and left sufficient funds
for heating, landscaping and street
adjustment, furnishings. Inciden
tal and architect's fees. -
The fourth plan wa an-alter-
sate of the second. It provided
for landscaping and- street con
struction by changing, the exter
ior to Indiana -limestone and met
al exterior sections to steel in
stead.of bronze. Like the second,
It included both library and office
facilities. - -

"Let's leave the office building
to the development of the hign

at a future time," he said. "We
cannot meet the full requirements
for - office' space and such action
.now might delay. action on a sep
arate building." : - - '..
The architects had pointed out
- the- structural difficulties, of build
ing a library, with book stacks and

-Searchers by land and water

slight hope that Private Henry W.
Pearson, 28, who escaped death
in a plane crash, might have lived
through the night in storm-tossed
Great Salt lake. -
His companion, Lieut. Lncian
N. Powell, pilot of the ship,
fought high waves and biting cold
water for more than eight tours
to bring the story of the crash
and send searchers out Into the
lake for Pearson.
Powell and Pearson were Te-
turning to the airport from Wen-
dover, Nev., on a training flight.
At 6,000 feet, Powell said, the
motor of the ship "conked" and
they plunged to the water.
Both fought clear of the plane.
Powell, electing to swim to the
south shore, attempted to per
suade his mechanic-observer to go
with him, but Pearson refused,
electing to stay with, the plane.
Powell pulled off his clothes, i ex
cepting a belt, and started for

Fleet Authorized to Sink
Submarine Which Fired
Upon Destroyer
LONDON, Sept. 2-(Thursday )-(iip)-While
Britain's warships
scoured the Mediterranean today
for a mystery submarine. Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden summon
ed a meeting of cabinet ministers
to consider repeated naval inci
dents la that area.
The war fleet searched with
bared guns and had official free
dom to sink the submarine, which
fired a torpedo at the destroyer
Havock.
Highly informed sources said
that the government faces the
task of devising a more definite
course of action to assure safety
of British shipping in the Medit
erranean, endangered since the
Spanish civil war.
The cabinet also is expected to
act on reported French proposals
to end the series of assa.ults on
neutral shipping the past few
weeks.
The foreign secretary conferred
also yesterday with the admiralty
on the possibility of establishing
an Anglo-French convoy system in
the Mediterranean, it was under
stood in reliable quarters. This
proposed convoy was expected to
be a major point in today's cabin
et deliverations.
Quarters close to the admiralty
indicated that the mysterious sub
marine would be sunk it possible.
The government considered such
a step "entirely Justified" after
the submarine's crew had been re
moved. , '
Britain was incensed by the at
tack oft the Spanish coast, the
latest of a series of raids on ships
flying the British flag on the
empire "life line." There . was
mounting pressure on the govern-
ment to stiffen Us resistance to
"these promiscuous acts of bar
barlsm."
At least eight swift destroyers
were rushed into the search and
each commander was told explic
itly- that he was free to use his
own Judgment. '
Almost at the same time the
Havock was attacked, Spanish In
surgent planes bombed the Greek
freighter Tsepo, about 20 miles
north, of Barcelona. The Tsepo,
carrying a munitions cargo to the
Spanish government, was beached
escaping from the attack. Her
helmsman was killed and another
seaman wounded.
