WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 29. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Gift Building Not To Become Reality Washington - IUPU - The idea of a proposed water resources educational building as a gift to the United States appears to be a long way from reality. There is not enough avail able land in the area where the bureau of water resources of the National Rivers and Harbors congress wants to construct its monumental gift. In January, trustees of the bureau, a private group, agreed to ask the Interior de partment for space on Nation al Capital Parks land on which to build a proposed structure 360 feet by 285 feet, exclusive of grounds and parking areas. The bureau asked that the proposed building be "appro priately situated with respect to the buildings occupied by the legislative and executive branches of the government." This means the proposed building, "dedicated tn the education of the people in the field of water," would be some Jackie Schedules Appeal to Voters Washington fUPIl Mrs. Jac queline Kennedy will make a nonpartisan radio and televis ion appeal to American voters to register and to go to the polls in November. The American Heritage Foundation said Tuesday the first lady's one-minute filmed appeal would be broadcast throughout the nation during September and October. place within the already crowded complex of govern ment structures. Request Passed Secretary of Interior Stew. art L. Udall passed the request for a long-term concession contract to Assistant Secre tary John A. Carver Jr., in charge of Public Land Man agement. Carver called in T. Sutton Jett, director of the National Capital Parks which has charge of all public lands in the District of Columbia. Carver and Jett told the bu reau it was "just not possi ble" to supply such an area in the central part of Washing ton. "Both Carver and I liked the idea," Jett told UPI, "but the acreage is not available. We tried not to be too dis heartening to the bureau, but we didn't see how the land in the area desired could be made available." Carver and Jett suggested other areas away from down town Washington. Otherwise, the government officials have done nothing about the bu reau's request. William H. Webb, execu tive vice president of the Na tional Rivers and Harbors con gress, said no progress has been made on the building. rle Indicated none would bt made until land becomes available. The bureau of water re sources submitted -to the de partment an artist's concep tion sketch of the proposed gift. The bureau has not hired an architect and has no blueprints.

The conferences, regional in character, will be a equel to the National Land and People conference held here last January.
