American Republics
Will Stand Together
In World Crisis
Ky tha AMocmtad Pratt
BOGOTA, Colombia, April 3.—
The delegates of 21 American
republics wound up their first
week of deliberations here today
determined to stand together in
the present world crisis.
There is probably five weeks of
hard work ahead. But the dele
gates attending the Pan American
conference already have declared
their unity of purpose.
The conference faces the issues
of communism and foreign colonies
in the Western Hemisphere, eco
nomic problems and reorganization
of the Pan American system. Al
though there are opposing views on
these issues, the spirit of compro
mise has prevailed and up to now
there has been no serious disagree
ments.
European Aid Has First Call.
Secretary of State Marshall’s
statement that the European Re
covery Program will have first call
on flje United States pocket book
caused the Latin Americans some
disappointment.
But the Soviet blockade of Ber
lin increased support within the
conference for the ERP. It also
increased the desire of some dele
gates to put teeth into some sort
of project to control subversive ac
tivities by Communists in the West- \
ern Hemisphere.
In addition Argentina has come!
forward with her own type of Mar
shall Plan designed to keep the!
economies of Latin American coun-j
tries going until the United States ■
is able to give them increased as-'
sistance.
Purchases for the ERP in Latin:
America are expected to improve |
the positions of some of the re
publics. Enactment of the program ;
by Congress cleared the way for |
the American delegates to inform
the Latin Americans on exactly!
what can be purchased from them.
Marshall Pleased by Reaction.
Gen. Marshall himself has held
personal talks with the delegates
of the major producing countries—
Argentina, Brazil. Chile. Colombia
and Venezuela. The heads of other
delegations will confer with him
next week.
Gen. Marshall told newsmen the
approval of ERP by Congress was
of tremendous importance to the
world. He said: “I was very much
pleased to see how rapidly the dis
cussion brought a favorable con
clusion at this time.”
During the day Gen. Marshall
and Chilean Defense Minister
Juvenal Hernandez discussed a
Chilean resolution to condemn
Communist activities in the West
ern Hemisphere.
Mr. Hernandez, author of the
resolution now before the confer
ence, said he had the impression
Gen. Marshall is optimistic over
the possibility of averting a new
war. Gen. Marshall said no final
conclusion was reached on anti
communist action.

BEFORE THE WHITE HOUSE BALCONY, AND AFTER—This ' _ The completed balcony, designed to give tWfe President a
view of the south portico of the White House was taken before private outdoor living space, is shown here. The other picture
the controversial balcony was ordered by President Truman also was taken before the rain shelter, seen at entrance, was
over the protests of many. * erected. —Star Staff and Harris Si Ewing Photos.
White House Balcony Nearing
Completion; Scaffold Removed
By Nelson M. Shepard
President Truman returned yes
terday from Williamsburg, Va., to
find workmen had practically com
pleted the White House balcony he
wanted outside his second-floor
study and bedroom for privacy and i
warm weather relaxation.
It may be several days, however,
before the now famous “Truman
p>orch” wil be ready for use unless
the President chooses to gain ac
cess to it by climbing over the sill
of his study window. A window
doorwav is being provided from the
study, it was said, in the manner
of the passages to the south por
tico from the red, blue and green
rooms on the first floor.
When the scaffolding disappeared
during the President's temporary
absence, indicating completion of
the porch, Howell G. Crim, chief
usher, disclosed a few minor details
remain unfinished. A little paint is
needed to retouch the white rail
ing, he explained, and light fixtures
are being suspended from the ceil
ing.
Although sight-seeing guides have
made the porch a major point of
interest on tours of the city, many
tourists who pause at the fence
bordering the south grounds of the
White House fail to notice the porch
until it is drawn to the attention.
To the casual eye, it is well con
cealed behind the six huge white
columns.
Comments Reflect Politics.
But when questioned about the
"Truman porch-’,. the average sight
seer who has r«ad or heard about
it, reflects his Or her political feel
ings in forthright comment.
“Why, there’s nothing for that
Beaux Arts Commission or whatever
you call it, to get all excited about,”
a home-spun Democrat asserted in
no uncertain tones. “It looks real
good from this distance, and as a
matter of fact, you can’t hardly
notice it.”
A Republican is apt to inject some
lucid comment about rising taxes.
“So that’s how our money is be
ing thrown around—$40,000 or $50,
000 wasn’t it?” asked a tourist whose
auto bore Vermont tags, “The White

| House belongs to all the taxpayers
and if any President who happens
to be living in it wants to change
this or that, he ought to get per
mission from Congress.”
The porch didn’t cost anywhere!
near $40,000. The bill comes under
$10,000, Mr. Crim disclosed. The
balcony expenditures, coming from
funds already allowed for upkeep
of the Executive Mansion, did not
require special congressional action.
The law, however, had established
the Fine Arts Commission as an
advisory group to pass on all Gov
ernment buildings and works of art
erected in the National Capital. The
Commission unanimously disap
proved the idea of changing the
structural appearance of the south
portico of the White House by build
ing a second floor balcony.
The White House has been the
home of every President except
George Washington. It was the
opinion of the Fine Arts Commis
sion that it should be preserved as
an historic shrine as well as resi
dence, with its exterior appearance
unchanged.
The elliptical-shaped balcony, de
signed by William Adams Delano,
famous New York architect, is
spacious, about 72 feet long and 10
feet wide. It has a tile floor on
concrete slabs and a simple iron
railing painted white. When the
Fine Arts Commission realized Mr.
Truman was determined to ignore
their protests, it recommended that
the White House engage the serv
ices of Mr. Delano, a former com
mission member. In his hands, it
was felt a competent job would be
done. Actually, members of the
commission believed he would dis
approve the idea and perhaps .per
suade the President to drop it.
With southern exposure and high
enough to get the benefit of pre
vailing breezes, the balcony provides
a convenient place for White House
occupants to catch a breath of out
door air in more privacy than the
downstairs floor affords. At this
time of the year the flowering trees
and shrubs, in the south grounds
are in full bloom, affording a lovely
view from the portico.
Mr. Truman may find time to
relax on his second-floor balcony
for a few minutes between the
emerging of fresh domestic and in
ternational crises.. He hadn’t found
the opportunity yesterday or maybe
he was just waiting for the window
doorway to be completed.
Camera fans who hope to get a
snapshot of the President relaxing
comfortably on his private porch
are doomed to disappointment. The
railing is sufficiently high enough
to afford him almost complete con
cealment from a distance.
