Smithsonian exhibits model of new cultural center for Samoan Islanders. Washington, D.C., Nov. 15. Down in the Island of American Samoa the natives quite firmly believe that no white man can master their architecture and manner of construction without glue, pegs, or nails. Lt. Comdr. P.J. Halloran, U.S.N. assigned to the island, set about studying their methods of construction by tying all members of the building together with grass rope, and became so thoroughly familiar with it that he supervised construction of a native library for the islanders. Since way back, construction of buildings has been done in Samoa by members of a guild known as Agaiotupu, and so well did Comdr. Halloran learn the business that he was made a member of the Guild. Here is Iris Lou Sinnett, Secretary in the Office of the National Collection of Fine Arts admiring a model of the 84 foot building which has been placed on exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution here
