MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, WDFORD, OT?EflCVNT, TTEDXESTUY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1936. PAGE THREE S WILL RANK HIGH IN Greatest Architects of Coun try Say Plans Best That Have Come Out of Com 'petition in Twenty Years PORTLAND. Sept. 2. (VPj Members of the capital reconstruction com mission were told today by Francis Keally of Trowbridge & Livingston, supervising architects, that Oregon's new statehouse will be one of the most "charming- and oeautiful" cap ltoi buildings in the United States. "I say this in all modesty and sincerity." declared the New York architect. "Three or four of the great est architect in the country said to me voluntarily that it is one of the most beautiful buildings that has come out of competition in the last 20 years." Modei Due Soon. The commission had an opportun ity to Judge for Itself as Keally laid down before It photographs of the firm's model of the structure. The collection Included views of the front, rear and both sides as well as a blrdseye view. The model will be here In a few days. By ear as well as by eye, the com mission received its most comprehen sive picture of the building to date as Keally explained In considerable detail his firm's plans. In addition to the photographs, he presented elaborate drawings of the rotunda and senate and house chambers as now conceived. Keally took particular pains to put to rest fears of Willamette uni versity and various Salem residents that the rear exposure, facing the university, would be drab and color less. He said plans provided a rear view as "beautiful and Interesting", as the front. Warmth Objective. Keally stressed the desirability of "warmth" in the appearance of the building, saying h wished to avoid the austerity of cold white marble. Plans call for extensive use of other types of marble, so far as the limited funds available will permit. Several slabs of different kinds were passed around for the commission's Inspec tion. In line with Keally's desire to erect a capltol that will "reproduce Ore gon," he plans to use wooden panels In a largo part of the Interior. The governor's' private office will have both, wooden walls and a wooden ceiling If money holds out. The senate chamber and the house chamber, on either side of the ro tunda on the main floor, will each be In wood from floor to - celling preferably walnut or oak. A feature of the rotunda and two legislative halls will be the almost complete lack of visible lighting fix tures. The bulk of the artificial light, of which little will be neces sary In daylight hours, will come through small boles evenly distrib uted near the top of the rooms. Oregon Materials Aim. Keally expressed a desire to use Oregon materials and, on sculptur ing and murals. Oregon artists so far as possible. He urged the commis sion not to be "sentimental," however, and Its its desire to help a struggling native artist detract from the beauty f the building. Numerous detail matters upon which the commission must make decisions were presented by William Banders, Trowbridge is Livingston en gineer. Sanders also gave a report on bis conference with C. C. Hockley, state W. P. A. director. He and Keally will go to Salem today for further in vestigation of the site. Those present included the entire commission personnel and Morris H. Whttehouse and Walter A. Church, local architects working In coopera tion with the eastern firm. ZAGREB.

"It'a the finest string I ever had. I brought half a million back from the rocks. I figured It's time to finish the castle.
