SKYSCRAPER ARCHITECTURE
USED TO LIGHT CHURCH OF
HEAVENLY REST, NEW YORK
^ -
The new and tall Church nf the Heavenly Rest and the Beloved
Disciple in New York City (shove) has a setback style of architecture
that permits sunlight upon the parish house (inset.)
NEW YORK. Feb. 23.—'AV-The
“skyscraper" type of architecture,
with its skylines broken to conserve
light, has been applied with unusual
emphasis to the recently completed
Earish house of the Church of the
leavenly Rest and the Beloved Dis
ciple here, the first unit in a £>,
500,000 group.
One of the severest tasks confront
ing architects in New York is the
rationing of daylight in thickly built
up sections. In the construction of
this church group particular atten
tion was paid the “islands" of light
left between towering walls.
The church itself is rapidly ap
proaching completion. It stands on
an uptown Fifth avenue comer,
looking to the west over Central
park.
The height of this edifice is so
great that exceptional precautions
had to be taken lest it overshadow
the parish house, constructed direct- ]
ly to the rear. This wa3 accom-1

plished by setbacks, thoroughly In
keeping with the Gothic architec
ture, but also serving an effective
purpose.
The result is that the parish house
appears in a series of steps, break
ing hack from the church, its height
ranging from one to six stories.
This not only base provided the par
ish house ample light, but has left
the great east window of the church
free from shadow.
Another “island” of light appears
to the south of the church, where
a low cloister has been imposed be
tween the towering walls of the
church and a residence to the south.
A carved stone doorway leads thru
this cloister to the tiny chapel of
the Beloved Disciple. Thus light is
promised the south windows.
Setback ideas of construction have
been prevalent in office buildings
for years. Hut this is believed to be
the first time it has ever been ap
plied to a church.

Present Legislative
Session Total Loss,
Moody’s Friends Say
By R. W. BARRY
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
AUSTIN, Feb, 23.—{A5)—It could
be said by Governor Moody and his
friends who believe in his suggest
ed solutions of pending problems,
awaiting action of the Texas legis
lature. that this session has been
a total loss.
Of course, neither the governor
nor his friends are saying any
such thing, although some of the
executive's partisans are thinking
as much, they will tell you. at the
same time admonishing you not to
"quote them.”
It is a fact, however, that nothing
has been done, and Is not likely
to be done this regular session
about concentrating the peniten
tiary system. regulating public
utilities, submitting the proposed
highway bond issue, shortening
the ballot by providing for the ap
pointment of all public officials—
save the governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, and attorney general—con
solidating departments, and the
many other things suggested by the
governor when he convened the
legislature.
Surrender Hope
With but 11 working days left,
the most optimistic have surren
dered hopes of disposing of any of
these matters. Many bills have
been passed and most, if not all of
these, are important but almost the
entire program of "big things” must
be shunted over to the called ses
sion.
Old-timers say this is an unusual
legislature in many respects. It Is
odd in that at least half of Its
membership is composed of persons
not in the 40th legislature.
With an interim of a few weeks
between adjournment of this ses
sion and the convening of the spe
cial session, it is the general belief
that lines wilt be drawn closely In
the new session and that more
semblance of leadership will accrue
to administration benefit.
The house probably will consider
the Young-Turner-Loy penitentiary
concentration bill on final passage
Monday or Tuesday, but Dewey
Young of Wellington, one of the
authors, concedes that even should
it pass, there can be little hope of
this legislature finally agreeing on
it or any substitute which the sen
ate might put up.
Propose Mail Poll
Lee Satterwhite of Amarillo, for
mer speaker of the house, and long
interested in penitentiary reforma
tion. is of the same opinion. He
has been here watching progress of
the legislation. He has contended
for giving the legislative the right
to place its stamp of approval upon
any plan the prison bvard. or any
commission designated to concen
trate the system mighi formulate.
He saw the senate last night
adopt his idea partially at least,
a hen it accepted an amendment by
Senator Pollard providing for sub
mission by the secretary of state to
members of the legislature,
through registered mall, any plan
for concentration agreed on. with
the proviso that If 10 members of
the senate and 45 members of the
house shall protest, the g /ernor
call a special session of the legis
lature to consider the matter and
either accept or reject the nlans
and recommendations.
The amendment was described by *
Satterwhite, Young and others In
favor of concentrating the system
on property already owned by the
state, as “cumbersome.” They
said it would be more busines ’Ike
to put the matter up directly to the
legislature in special session with
out going through the registered
mall poll.
