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

To Be Recognized
the Empire State building can
compete successfully with
even the newest of New
York's skyscrapers.
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."

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

After long study and exper
