PAGE FIVE Guilt Questioned OF 198 FLOORS IS Structure Would House 250,000 and Be Twice Height of Empire State Air Station Is Provided ST. LOUIS (UP) Erection of a 196-story building. 2000 feet high, coverfnjr four city blocks, able to house 250.000 persons, and costing 223.000.000 has been described to architects here by Henri Rush, archi tect and former chief engineer lor the city of St. Louis.

Furth'.:more. so gigantic would it be that tourists from all over the world would be attracted to the United States to see It and transact business In It. He believes the building, or mart, would furnish a way for America to control world trade through a sort of "International clearing house."

Na tives knew it as the "Pnrmenter Sis ters' house." But the natives would not recognize the furnishings If 'they were to peek In one of the windows. Here it Is that Ford spends quiet hours In solitude among some of the most valuable of his antiques. In the front room is a long Colonial table at which stand high-backed chairs. The ancient fireplace is re pletfly equipped with fixture that may have been used by colonists or the Pilgrim fathers 300 years ago. There is a small wooden cradle, the rocker type, low on the ground, and its curved contours brown with age.
