A call haa nljtb been luued for bids on construction of a commissioner's residence In Bngulo, the Philippine "mountuln cRpltal" In north central Luzon lftlnnd. Tills building Is ex pected to cost taoo.ooo. The Manila building, three stories high, will be constructed on 17 acres of land reclaimed from Manila bay alongside the city's most beautiful thoroughfare, palm - lined Dewey Boulevard. High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt has been living In rented houses and working In a rented office In the Elks club. One of his successors will probably, be the first to use the new buildings. Congressional appropriation of 760,000 for the two buildings brought cries of "extravagance" from foes of Commissioner McNutt and the ad ministration In spite of Sen. Sherman Mlnton's explanations McNutt neith er proposed nor will use the build ings. Congressmen supporting the con struction pointed out the Manila building will Include 30 residential rooms and 37 rooms In which the commissioner and his staff will work. When the Philippines become In dependent, presumably July 4, 1948, the building will become a legation for uho by the United States minister to the Insular republic. It is expected to be completed about Jan. 1, 1840. Burlier Itrseiits Argument ' ALEXANDRIA.

Martin Views Five And Ten Heiress As Bad Influence On Economic System Rich Girls Given Panning By t.TOIA OKAY RHAW (A, P. Feature Writer.) NEW YORK. William McChesney Martin, Jr., the 31-year-old president of the New York stock exchange, sax down In his guarded, alr-condltloned office, hunched his knees against the desk, and confessed to a weakness for the simple life. "I haven't any expensive habits," he said. (He neither smokes nor drinks; doesn't keep a car in New York.) "I like to go to the theater, but I go by myself and usually sit in the balcony. I used to play ten nis three or four times a week at Forest Hills. Lately I've been too busy." I Martin, the first paid president n'j the exchange, gets $48,000 a year. A fiend for work, he doesn't act like a go-getter. He moves slowly, speaks slowly, smiles often br.t slowly. His clothes are commonplace. A "Regretful" Bachelor. Social life doesn't Interest him. but he's being asked around quite a bit, now that he's in the limelight. Says he's a "regretful" bachelcr. doesn't look regretful. He did say. "I'd like to travel every day of my life." At that. ha' dons a pretty good Job of touring tha United States has been In every stats out nonas Last March ha went on a Mediter ranean cruise. He had been putting in 20-hour work days helping draft the exchange's new constitution, he said; so after it wee over, he went aboard ship and' spent the first three days sleeping. Kept to Himself. "I didn't speak to anybody for seven days," he reflected. "I at at a table my myself. X was pretty sick of talking to people by then. One night toward the end of the 'cruise, I asked a girl to dance, then couldn't get away until 1:30. I was completely worn down." It was his second trip abroad. In 1927, after his Junior year at Yale, he went on a European tour. Mr. Martin haa never come to con sider New York home, though he's been here seven years now ever since he purchased a membership in the stock exchange. He lives at the Yale club, because he likes to think he's here only temporarily. St, Louis Is home, but he doesn't get out thnro more than once a month. The son of well-to-do parents his father Is president of the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis Mr. Mar tin says he gives most of his money away. Sometimes the very rich dis turb Mr. Martin. - Rich Girls Disturb Him. "Barbara Hutton." he aya. "has done more to destroy American capi talism than any other individual." That's pretty heated for an indi vidual as gentle as Mr. Martin. He gets cross, too. about rich girls who take Jobs Just so they can say they're earning money. Mr. Martin won't be labeled a lib eral. Says he's an independent. He gets annoyed with people who accuse him of straddling the fence. Though he tries to be unemotional In his analysis of economic trends, he says that doesn't prevent him from hav ing convictions of his own. The government, he says, must lay down the broad general policies by which the exchange is to func tion, but the exchange should do 1U own policing Job, and sea ttui those policies ars carried out. Only half the age ot most of the past leaders of the exchange. Mar tin's In office "as long aa the board wants me.' Free LUX With Your HOSIERY Purchases! Rollins A popular hose at a pop ular price!
