Young British Architects
Angry About U.S. Embassy
By TOM A. CL'l.l.EN
N'EA Staff Correspondent
LONDON NEA) - John Hay
"("Jock") Whitney, America's am
bassador to Britain, is being strafed
these days by the Anti-Uglies, as
Britain's angry young architects
are called.
There is nothing personal or po
litical about it. But Ambassador
Whitney is being blamed for the
new, $7,000,000 American embas
sy which is ncaring completion in
Crosvenor Square. The Anti-Uglies
consider it "atrocious."
"It has that gold-plated Cadillac
look about it," complains a beard
ed, pipe-smoking young architect,
who is one ol the ring-leaders.
He holds Ambassador Whitney,
Sjyear-old socialite and former
polo player, personally responsible
for the building "because as an
art collector he should know bet
ter." ACTUALLY, THE six-story em
bassy, which will not be ready for
occupancy until March, ldiiti. is the
work of Eero Saarinen, Finnish
born American architect. Saari
nen won a Slate Department com
petition for the best design.
The Anti-Uglies are mostly stu
dent architects who rebel against
the conventional in design. In re
cent months they have staged
mock funeral processions, with
mourners decked out in black, be

sidcr to be notable examples of
bad architecture.
Their own hang-out is The Parti
san, an espresso bar which is done
up in the style known as "The
New Brutalism." Here, in an at
mosphere foggy with pipe smoke,
they brood over the ills of city
planning.
The Anti-Uglies have no objec
tion to the actual design of the
new American embassy, which is
U-shapcd and with pencil-thin col
umns.
"WHAT WE object to," a stu
dent in a turtle-neck sweater ex
plained, "is all that gold."
Certainly, Saarinen has not been
sparing in his use - of gold, or
rather anodized aluminum with a
gold finish as trimming for the
new chancellory.
It will he surmounted by a gold
en American eagle with a 35-foot
wing span, which has become a
chief target for the Anti-Uglies.
"What an outcry there would
be in Amciica if the British
lopped their embassy in Washing
ton with a golden lion measuring
33 feet from nose to tail," the
sweatercd one exclaimed.
"Yes, or imagine a 35-foot gold
hamjiier and sickle above the Rus
sian embassy in Washington," a
bearded companion chimed in.
THE ;oi.l) EAGLE has caused
raised eyebrows even at The Sun
day Times, which questions wheth
er it is "the ideal symbol to brood
over a famous square in a foreign
capital.
Other examples of "golden pic
crust embellishments," as The
Sunday Times calls it, are gold
bars between the windows of the
four upper floors and a gold trim
ming above the cornice of the new
embassy.
The Sunday Times' verdict
"more reminiscent of a cigarette
factory than an embassy."
Among other amenities which
the new American embassy will of-
icr are a well-stocked library, an
auditorium seating 1, a restau
rant and cafeteria, recording stu
dios and parking space for 120
vehicles.
Ambassador Whitney's suite in
cludes a lounge with dressing
oom, conference rooms and his
own private dining room.
The ambassador can take some
comfort from the fact that the
British are also severely critical
of their own official architecture
abroad. "A frozen evasion" is the
way The Observer describes the
new wing of the British embassy
n Washington.

By HAROLD K. MILKS
HAVANA (AP) The takeover
of Cuban and foreign-owned ranch
and farm property by Kidcl Cas
tro's forces appears more and
more to be following only one law
the law of force.
Although the sweeping agrarian
reform law adopted by Castro's
revolutionary Cabinet lust May
gives his representatives power to
seize big estates, the govern
ment's agents are taking over
buildings, equipment and live
stock as well.
Estimates of the amount of land
seized now reach into the millions
of acres. Most of it so far is in
cattle-rich Camaguey and Oricnte
provinces, and in Pinar del Rio,
whore most of Cuba's fine tobacco
is grown. .Most sugar estates are
being lett alone for the present
so as not to reduce the next har
vest. -
Cuban lawyers representing the
landowners say appeals .to points
of law with agents of the govern
ment's powerful Institute of
Agrarian Reform (1NRA) fre
quently bring the reply "What
law? We , arc the. law." . ,
Kilos of the United States lim
bassy are rapidly filling with re
ports of cases in which Castro
agents usually bearded military
ofliccrs backed by squads of
armed soldiers moved in and
seized equipment, cattle and build
ings. The agrarian reform law pro
vides for expropriation of land for
distribution among the landless
but contains no provision for sei
zure of agricultural mncluncry,
other equipment or livestock.
"So called agrarian institute
delegates pay no attention to this
law when they "intervene' in prop
erties," said one Cuban lawyer.
"They just take over and all our
elfnrts to find out -under what de
cree or law they are acting are
futile."
Intervention is one step short of
expropriation a government
agent moves in to control opera
tions of the farm or ranch but
does not take formal possession
This was the step taken Sunday
against the American owned
Ptinta Alegre Sugar Company's
5,000-acre , La Gloria ranch in
Camaguey province.
A spokesman at La Gloria said
the owners are still in physical
possession of their land and build
ings. But on Sunday 1NRA agents
took the second step formal sei
zuro against the 3,(HK acre
ranch in Camaguey of the Be
cerra Cattle Co., owned by the
King ranch of Texas. The man
agers there are fighting what ap
pears to be a losing battle to pre
vent Castro agents from physical
ly seizing the ranch buildings
equipment and cattle.
"Its a sort of anarchy In many
sections ol Cuba today, with in
stitute representatives and armed
forces under them doing jilst
about as they please," one Ameri
can rancher reported.

WASHINGTON (AP) - More
missiles, less manpower is what
emerges from the Eisenhower ad
ministration's 1961 military bud
get. The President gave tentative ap
proval to this concept Monday at
Augusta, Ga., after a four-hour
meeting with top Pentagon brass
and government budget planners.
Spending will remain at about
the present 41 billion dollars for
the year starting next July 1.
Secretary of" Defense Neil H.
McElroy said the Navy and Air
Force had volunteered to cut
their manpower requirements a
little in 1MB1. To offset this loss
they can look forward to more
and better missiles and more
atomic-powered submarines. A
second nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier for the Navy failed to get
approval.
The Army and Marine Corps re-
sisted pressures to cut their
forces.
McElroy, foreshadowing the
new shape of war in the missile
age, said the nation must face
some time in the future the ques
tion of calling back some of its
troops overseas. No cut in these
forces is in prospect for the next
16 months.
In concert with McElroy's think
ir.g. the Air Force chief of staff
.Monday told the meeting of NATO
parliamentarians here to expect
cutbacks in conventional forces,
including manned aircraft, in the
future.
Gen. Thomas D. White told the
NATO group other changes are
in prospect, such as a rearrange
ment of military forces now in-
Europe and creating of a fast
striking combat unit based in the
United States but ready for action
anywhere.
White's views dovetailed with
the forecast made by McElroy to
newsmen in Augusta and on his
return to Washington.
McElroy said the 1961 defense

budget could be cleared with the
National Security Council within
li) days and get Eisenhower's
final approval before he takes off
Dec. 3 for a good will mission to
11 nations.
Military manpower now is about
2'i million. Just where and how
m.-ny will be spared was not dis
closed.
The Air Force for the current
year agreed to accept a lower
authorized strength of 845.000, and
actually has operated below that
ceiling.
Under the new budget the Air
Force will lose several of its 102
wings of aircraft, most likely in
B47 medium bomber units. It will
continue to build up the bigger
B52 bombers to a scheduled peak
of 700 planes.
The Air Force now has opera
tional control of the intercontin
ental ballistic missiles, the wea
pons of the future.
The Navy, under the new bud
get, will have to retire a few of
its 864 active ships, and probably
operate the remaining ones with
smaller crews.
But the Navy's number of atom
ic submarines, each capable of
iaunching 16 Polaris ballistic mis
siles, is slowly growing. It cur
rently is building nine Polaris
subs, and will ask money to start
at least three more next year. The
new Navy budget might even be
stretched to provide for five more.
Judge Wins
Libel Suit
EUGENE (AP) - Circuit Judge
Frank B. Reid Saturday won a
$3,000 verdict from a jury of 12
women in the trial of his $200,000
libel action against the Eugene
Register-Guard.
Reid received the damages on
statements published by the news
paper in an editorial in June, 1956.
The jury refused to grant dam
ages on the other charge, based
on publication of a court document
the same month.
Mne of the 12 jurors signed the
verdict, which was announced
after 15 hours of deliberation.
Circuit Judge George R. Duncan
of Marion County presided at the
trial, which lasted 13 days.
