Marin County By WILEY MALONEY I It's thp inst.ripriiralpri Marin By WILEY MALONEY United Ptesi International San Rafael, Calif. -(UPli-The late architectural genius Frank Lloyd Wright said it "will be a cornerstone in the culture of the nation." It has been called another Taj Mahal, a glorified Holly wood diner and a taxpayers' nightmare. On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Varied reactions are pro duced at the mention of the subject economics - a shudder from most of us who encoun tered the subject in high school or college, a shrug of indifference from those who did not. Few are really in terested. But economics as presented by Dr. John R. Coleman, Dean-Elect, Division of Hu manities and Social Studies at Carnegie Institute of Tech nology, in the new "College of the Air" series, "The Ameri :an Economy," daily at noon on KBES-TV is fascinating. At least I was fascinated as Dr. Coleman explained how the Malthusian theory, that population, when unchecked, goes on increasing in a high er ratio than the means of subsistence can be made to in crease, was being proved in India but not in the United States. Studying economics can be deadly - about as interesting as recalling last year's resolu tions. Obviously the teacher is the difference. Dr. Cole man in a casual, friendly man ner makes the subject timely, vital and easily understand able. As former President Dwight D. Eisenhower said in intro ducing the series, "I can com mend to you the investment of your time - to achieve a bet ter understanding of what makes our economy grow, what makes it serve us so well, and how it can be made to serve us better."

Frank Lloyd Wright Is Dedicated I The building rests close to mi.- iiinuiiuus niuueas fault and is believed to be as earthquake-proof as the famed Wright-designed Imperial ho tel in Tokyo. Other features of the com pleted building include: -The entrance arch (Wright called it a "pendant crescent ") under which mutorisls can get j out and step on an escalator to I the first floor. j -The central mull running the length of the buildin? nnrf admitting natural lighting through a plastic skylight. -The outside balconies along the entire length of the three levels giving access between offices and protection from sun and rain to the glass areas five feet behind them. The building will house only the county's administra tive offices and a library.

Bond Issues Defeated Two bond lsues were de feated and 24 architects were interviewed before Wright was appointed. The ground breaking came in January, 1961, but the I slol's still raged.
