Empire State Building Full Potential By DOROTHEA M. BROOKS United Press International New York -fl'Pl- World's tallest building. Empire State building. The world over, in almost any company, mention the one and the association is imme diate. The Empire State build ing is the world's tallest and probably the world's best known building. But this distinction is not enough for Lawrence A. Wien, who engineered purchase of the building last year for S65 million by a group which sub sequently transferred the fa mous property to Prudential Insurance company and then took back a 114-year lease 0nt-1 Wien feels the full potei tial of the building has not been developed. "For all its renown, it lacks definite character," he said. Built as it was during the de pression, it was impossible to fill the building with the kind of tenants it needed. Although occupancy has been virtually 100 per cent since the war, :it has been of somewhat hodge-podge nature. Wien envisions gradual de velopment of tenancy to em phasize international charac ter. :More Appreciation There is greater apprecia tion of the building outside New York City, especially -abroad, he said. It is the old :story nf the familiar being taken for granted. An ardent New Yorker, Wien neverthe less admits that, as a tenant, of the Empire State building some years ago, he never did "'go to the top." His office to day is not in the Empire State but farther uptown in the Lincoln building where from his desk he has a sweeping .veiw of lower New York with the world's tallest building prominent in the foreground. Discussing the broadscale plan for the Empire Slate building, Wien's enthusiasm is infectious. Woven in among such prosaic projects as a cur rent exterior cleaning job, new lighting for the lobby and a switchover to automatic elevator operation, are hints of a "revolutionary new art form" to be introduced next spring as part of the lobby redecoration, and plans for a "truly great international res taurant, perhaps featuring a scries of picture windows with various international themes." Wien, an attorney, describes his ventures in real estates as "fun - especially if they are profitable." He is convinced IVERSON Quality Paints!

Truly Unique "The Empire State building is still truly unique," he said. "It is very unlikely that it ever will be matched." The type of construction. Wien ex plained, is extremely costly and new zoning laws which would require a much larger plot for a similar building would make the cost doubly prohibitive. PP&L Within Rights Using Firm Funds Grants Pass- Josephine County District Attorney Larry Aschenbrenner said nere Friday that the Pacitic Power and Light company was within its rights in ex pending company funds to campaign against the forma tion of a people's utility dis trict in Josephine county. The legal opinion was re quested by the Josephine County Public Power associ ation, sponsors of a PUD pro posal to be put before the voters here in the November election. PUD proponents had charged that the private power company's tactics were in violation of the Oregon cor rupt practices act. In ruling that the charge was without foundation, Aschenbrenner said: "... just as it is legal for a private person or private corporation to expend money to promote the formation of a people's utility district, it is legal for the private power company to expend corporation funds to defeat that formation." Wilson Bids High For Rogue Timber Steve O. Wilson, White City, was high bidder last week fo' 2,350,000 board feet of national forest timber in the Willow Prairie No. 11 area, Butte Falls Ranger dis trict, Rogue River National forest. Forest Supervisor C. E. Brown reported the high bid totaled $83,336, compared to the forest service appraised price of $41,404, an increase ot 101 per cent. Next high bidder in the oral auction for the limber was Southern Oregon Ply wood, Grants Pass. Other bid ders were Medfoid Corpora tion, Fir Ply. Inc., and Kogap Manufacturing com p a n y of Medford. The timber in the unit con sisted of 880,000 board feet of Douglas-fir bid at $71 per thousand, 510,000 board feet of pines bid at $18.40 per thousand, and 960,000 board feet of white fir and other species bid at $11.95 per thousand board feet. 20" Murray ... 26.88 24" Monarch . 29.88 24" Columbia 29.88 26" Columbia 31.88 20" Schwinn . 39.88 YOUR CHOICE WITH THIS AD Cycle& Hobby Shop 23 N. Fir 772-2472 Construction with all facil ities in a central core gives the building large areas of shallow, windowed space, un available in newer buildings and extremely attractive to many tenants. High ceilings were made for efficient installation of cen tral air conditioning and, Wien said, the building today is more than 90 per cent air conditioned. In three to five years, as present tenants va cate space, the job will be completed. A six-month exterior refur bishing of the building's 102 stories is under way - the first in its lifetime. After long study and exper imentation, new ceiling, light ing is being installed in the lobby which will provide a brighter, more cheerful set tine without .chancing the overall effect of the high- ceilinged marble decor. Perhaps, before too long. even native New Yorkers won't need out - of - town visi tors to prod them into visiting the word's tallest buiding.
