Courteous and Friendly Service of Mexia Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation STATE DEPARTMENT TO GET NEW this $10 million dollar building of 900 columns and chimney pots, American foreign policy has been formulated for 70 years. Now George C. Marshall, new secretary of state, is moving a howl of protest from career men. Sentimental diplomats of the old school love this'did state department building, a Victorian hodgepodge next door to the White House. The venerable home of the State Depart- represents a baroque compromise of French neoclassicist ideas, now- called "neo-gingerbread" by Washington cynics.

Begun in 1875 and designed by A. D. Mullet, then architect of the treasury, the building was referred to as "Mr. Mullet's architectural infant asylum" by historian Henry Adams. Told the ffuilding was fireproof, Civil Wai- General William Sherman replied, "what a pity." Returning from a world tour, General U.

S. Grant described it as a "climax of all the curious construction" he has seen abroad. Apparently another famous'general feels the same way about it. Marshall is taking his department to a nevv massive limestone building'erected in 1941 under "modern functional designs" which housed the War Department before it moved into the Pentagon. Move has been threatened since 1911, when an award was made for plans for a new State Department building.

F-R-R-OZEN IS THE WORD FOR FRIGID If you Want Some Very Rugged Photographic Problems Try Alaska's Minus-47 Temperature $175,000 Blaze In Houston Probed HOUSTON, Feb.

Unusual circumstances surrounding a $175,000 fire in the business district of the Harrisburg section early today led Fire Chief George W. Richardson to call an immediate meeting of all district chiefs who were at the blaze. Seven business establishments sustained slight damage in a fire which was extinguished at 4 a. m. today.

However, a second fire which broke out iwo hours later gutted the block. Mrs. Aliene McCally, who lives 25 feet from the business block, reported the second fire. "I went to bed after the first fire," 'she said. "But I was unable to sleep.

Shortly before 6 a. m. I noticed the reflection of the fire on my window." Chief Richardson said the second fire had progressed so far when firemen arrived that it was impossible to determine where it started. Business tenants were indignant over the handling of the fire by firemen. Far from Louisiana's balmy weather, Corp.

By BEHT BRANDT NEA Staff Correspondent WITH TASK FORCE FRIGID in Alaska, Feb. 4 military experts can tell you what happens to guns, tanks and planes when it goes clown to 47 below zero. But if you're a camera addict and want to wrestle with some- really rugged photographic problems, I can give you the word on that: come to Alaska.

Technically, I have been winterized and so have my cameras. The Alaskan winter is laughing at the thought. Frozen, not frigid, is the word for it. The same niinus-47 temperature that took the zing out of a 75-mm. guri also took the zing out of my cameras.

My Rbllieflex froze up The front shutter on my Speed Graphic froze. The wire on my synchronizer froze and snapped like an icicle. The light meter in my pocket froze. Ice covered the lens, and had to be scraped off before every picture. The back shutter, set at of a second, sighed as it moved slowly across the film at speeds of its own choosing.

You just set the lens at f. C.3 or 5.6 and cross your fingers. I sighed, too, as I moved slowly back to a warm tent after following troops as they traipsed around in the Arctic cold with their equipment. I would say I was just as frozen as my cameras, except the experts told me it was just my right hand, which Ralph Ellsworth Joins Texas U. Babe Ruth Spends 53rd Birthday In Hospital NEW YORK, Feb.
