Dear Abel,

• --- ------

• 17 October 1951.

Under special cover today sending a new sample Al/a of curtain-material, which Miss Paula Trock bas made. If we use some more lengths the effect will be better. If the motion picture screen had a black frame of 841llle width, it would be so much easier to concentrate on the film.

If we completely have to shut out the day-light, we will have to use some­thing quite different and much more expensive.

I would be happy to use this mate,tj,al. Please let me know, if it is satis-fying. ~ ~ ~ ~V:U-The New York-dirt would not effeet this so much as the white.

Dear Michael: having succeeded in locating Mr. Starcke, I am told in a letter, that he has worked with enthusiasm and like a good boy on the sculpture this whole summer - and that he is now on his way to the UNESCO meeting in Venice - and that he still does not want to tell, when the damned thing will be ready. Are we artists? So much for him.

There is the small matter of shipping costs for the sculpture. I donot remember, if we have any budget for that. The amount granted by the Danish Government goes to cover fee for artist plus all costs in material and labour, but not crating and transport. The statue will weigh a.bout 500 kilos. Please give me your opinion.

Now leaving for Zii'ich, where I am going to arrange an exhib of Danish Applied Arts. Can be reached cjo Kunstgewerbemuseum, Ausstellungsstrasse 60, between Sept.30th and Oct 2th, when we drive down to Italy for vaca­tion. Will be back Now.2nd. ope, that you and the family are well and in love.

Kindest regards to see you in January,

Subject: u. N. Secretariat - Hurricane and Leakage

Dear Sir:

In our letter of 21 August 1952, we made remedial reconunendations to permanently remove the leakage problem on the subject building. A review of this letter indicated that further connnent shpuld be made regarding our discussions on the durability of vinyl plastics as sealants .

Sprayed vinyl plastics offer a convenient means of application to provide seals of cracks and lapping of flashing . However, the question of durability of such sealants has been given considerable attention by us since making our recommendations . Jn Weatheromoter tests on these materials we can find life tests up to 20 years . In addition we have seen actual service tests on Liquid Envelope of eight years on ¥.d.litary equipment in the

:'\ i lir.{). _ weather without the loss of flexibility nor any deterioration. 1 1'::IU · ·~--A sample of Liquid Envel ope produced by Better Finishes and

Coatings Inc., Newark, New Jersey is enclosed herewith. Although the application would not be exposed to the weather the length of service tests are not considered by us of sufficient duration to assure the permanence required in the u. N. Secretariat. It is for this reason we are convinced a much more durable material such as Insul-Ma.stic or equivalent reinforced with a Glas-Fab netting should be used.

We should like to hear from you of the latest develop­ments that have taken place to correct the subject difficulties .

ERQ:kgs Encl.

Deax M.r. Bennett:

• • May 2, 1952.

/ Having been away for some time I did not receive your letter of April 15 till today.

Concerning Jacob Petersen: in the discussions with Mr. Sterman in Februaxy I gave him a final account from J.P. The item dated January 14 is the one we discuss, of the amount 1 851,o5 kroner, so it cannot be unlmown to him. The specification ,and invoice was sent later, as I was afraid not to have banded it to him. Unfortunately it is written in Danish and tells that in accordance with tender of April 4 and July 10, 1951, he has chaxged U.N. for the increase of wages, totalling 8 307 working hours at o,15 kroner per hour, for the cabinetmakers and metalworkers, and furthermore he bas charged you for an amount of 605,00 kroner, because we were unable to get steeltu.bes in the right dimensions for ceiling-hangers and bad to use brass with chronium finish. Likewise he had to .,cast a paxt of the bangers in brass, as one can­not weld steel to brass.

I am including a new copy of this specification and invoice. As it refers to the final account of the same date, I believe that Mr . Sterman will ack­nowledge, that it is not entirely a new item - but I regret if my mailing the invoice later on has created some confussiono

I have had occasion to discuss this invoice in details both with the firm, the cabinetmakers and the metalworkers, and it is quite alright.

Concerning Miss Paula Trock: Out of the Danish amount we have paid:

Sept. 12, 51 o ••••••• 02500,Qo-, kroner Dec. 21, 51 ••••••••••2000,oo " total 4500 ,oo kroner

Her final account of 10 146,60 kroner was sent you in my letter of Dec. 21, 1951, in which I suggested, that we should pay the rest: 10 146,60 + 4 500,oo= 5 646, 60 kroner out of the Danish amount, when you gave me word to do so.

When discussing payments with Mr. Sterman in February, it was agreed, that you would pay this amount. Miss Track is very interested in receiving it as soon as possible.

Very truly you.rs,

ff;;~ Finn Juhl.

Dear Wallace: I am extremely sorry, that I never had a real chance to tell you, how much I appreciate and feel grateful for all the collaboration and good will, I have received from you personally and from your office in getting the Trusteeship Council Chamber made ready.

I am fUlly aware, 'that I have been a "pain in the neck11 , a pest and a bore·, and I would have been only half as sorry for that, if the final result had been half as insufficient and unsatisfying as it is. Let me haste-n to add, that. whatever defect in aestetical value is apparent, is my responsibility.

In time I hope, that you will only remember me, as the chap, who was indeed grateful to you and forget the above mentioned qualities.

To tell another truth: it has been a great pleasure and a great chance to do my little share in the very fine and interesting building.

As far as I know now, my next trip will. be in June. I hope, that you will allow me to look you up at your office, when I return.

With my kindest regards - also to your wife, whom I had the good chance to meet at St. Regis Sincerely yours,

ru;-

I am rlad that you are re1:ainling the backwall. Concerning the conference officer's desk , it will be shipped on the 16th - so please tell Abel , that we are doing our very best to hasten i t .

Dear Mro Bennett,

• • 10 January 1952 •

In my letter to you of 310 May 1951 I wrote you to ask for a pk-chase order for Miss Karen Warming, who has ma.de the cover material for all the chairso

- - · . () ~ rrhe amount then mentioned was 5891 ,oo kr . and covered 58 chairso As you yu.l~~will see from the enclosed bi~l the amount now is 5676 ,10 kr . and covers all

,l-,1-1 , 62 chairs . We made a few alterations , which made it possible to use less material , and I believe, that nobody will be sorry for this change in total amount .

The chairs have been shipped with the cover, so that no extra costs will ap­pear.

I believe, that you might prefer, that I pay this amount out of the Danish donation, but naturally I will wait, till you have received the chairs .

Concerning my going to New York , I plan on leaving on the 3rd of February and arriving in Idlewild on the 5th - staying in London one night.

I would be glad to receive$ 900 here as soon as possible and to receive the rest of the amount, mentioned in your letter of 23rd Nov. 1951, when I ar­rive in New York.

Finn Juhl .

Dear Michael,

I have tried to squeeze the teak boards out of Mro Jacob Petersen's tender, but cannot find them. I remember discussing them, and he does so too, but he tells me, that tha.y were given up, when you changed the sidewalls from hardboards in pattern to plaster.

As we have no ·w.ritten material telling us contf~se, and as furthermore the boards definitely do not exist, I can only suggest, that they should be made in New York.

The painting of boxes came to less than$ 600, so perhaps you can steal the money from the rest of the$ 2 000 program.

I am terribly sorry, that all control on this small item has been missing, but presume that it would be nonsence to start work on them here now.

I am happy - so far - about the glossy blue.

I have another correction in the numbering of joints in ceiling arrangement -enclosed part of drw. 45, revised.

Cordialiter,

r;;;~ Finn Juhl.

Dear Mr. Bennett,

In accordance with a letter from .IV'ir. Michael M.Rarris of l ~ v. 51, I ordered the light- and diffuser boxes to be painted here instead of, as planned, in New York. Enclosed a tender from Jacob Petersen. Mr. Harris told me, that 2 coats would cost appr. $ 2 000, so the price seems very reasonable indeed, not exceeding one fourth.

The following amounts have so far been paid here out of the Danish donation: I

total 140 000 kr. rest

26 000 kr. 10 000 kr. 25 500 kro 61 500 kr.

In your and my first budgets the lighting fixtures were kept outside. In order to get this work done in time and in the special way needed for the whole cei­ling arrangement, I have been forced to ask a specialist make the very definite and complicated working drawings. This work bas been done before the prices were worked out and has saved a lot of money on this special budget. It has been quite impossible to give you any indication of the costs of this specia­list-work, because nobody knew, how much time would be involved. Now I have received a bill from the specialist, architect Mogens Voltelen, and ask for authorization to pay it out of the budget of the Danish donationQ As you will recall, we pay 2364 Danish kroner for the clock and have 10 000 kr. for it.

As this work is completely outside an architects' work (and training), and as it normally not will be done here (leaving it to the contractor), and as the prices of lighting fixtures because of it are exceedingly low, I hope, that you will agree, that it can be paid for this way.

Enclosed I send you }4. Voltelen's billo

Sincerely yours

/ Enclosed a new tender from Miss Paula Trock concerning the heavy curtain.. Mr. Abel Sorensen and Mro Michael M. Harris wanted a more heavy material than originally offered - and more of it. After a discussion back and forth a new material has been approved of by Mro Harris and discussed al­so with Mr. Sorensen during his stay here.

I have ta.ken the liberty to order it at once the dicision was final and de­livery will be in the middle of December.

I have discussed with Michael Harris the possibility of my staying in New York during the very last phase of my room being finished and would ask you, if you in principle would agree to an arrangement, wheitemy travel ex­penses and stay were paid out of my remaining fee . I would like to go into further details concerning this, if your answer is positiveQ It would real­ly mean a lot to me, because the painting of diffuser boxes etc. in the cei­ling pl,ays such an important part in my plan, and has to be carried out in New York, on the spot.

Looking forward to your answer,

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Harris,

3 November 1951

As you may have guessed, these have been hectic days. I was so disappointed to have to forward Petersen's and _Collstrup 1 s letters, and have tried very hard to get some better cooperation.

I sent you a telegram yesterday, the meaning of which is, that all outer frames for 2 panelwalls, all frames around windows and doors, the doors themselves, the teak foot-boards will be shipped on the 2oth of November, while the total rest, i.eo all wall P{lllel lists, the whole ceiling arrangement including light boxes from Lauritz Henriksen will be crated and ready for shipnent on the 29th December.

We have been told that a ship leaves Copenhagen on the 1st or 2nd of January, and we have arranged to have this delivery on board.

It is not ideal, far from, but at least so much better than the timetable, sent you previously, and it meets the deadline of the first timetable. I am assured, that they really are doing their best and that nothing better can be obtained at the time being.

I am eager to hear news about the sculpture - as you may have guessed, I am not at all convinced, that it will be the right thing - the more time flows, the more uneasy I feel. As one of my fellow architects said, I am only allowed the negative in this II14tter.

I am very anxious to hear your reactions to the news here, also because I plan to go to New York for the final installation and painting - i.e. if the U9 N. will be as gracious as to let me get part of my salary for travelling expenses. With this in mind, would you kindly tell me your time schedule as soon as pos­sible.

Kindest regards,

Dear Mr . Harris,

JO October 1951

In ans~1er of your letter of 19 Oct . 51 about wattage our engineers tell me, that t he maximum for each of the ll fixtures will be 5 x 150 watt ( 3 in upper and 2 in lower 'part) and perhaps something less. The fixtures (j .b. ) in ceiling near the window have not been decided on - also depending on the type of curtain . I am anxious to get new information about the new sample, sent Abel 17 Oct . 51.

Concerning your letter of 26 Oct . 51~ received yesterday, I at once infonned Jacob Petersen, and we now try to find some new and "better" date for the last delivery. I enclose a copy of a letter sent yesterday to the fim, showing how I consider the matter. Please let bel translate it to you.

Sincerely yours for Finn Juhl

/s . Marianne T:rock

Marianne Trock.

P.S. I am perhaps even more anxious than you to get this solved.

29 October 1951

\

This date I received a letter from M.M. Harris (dated 26 October 1951) concerning the delayed deliveries to United Nations . I have road the letter aloud to the foreman (in the workshop) Jensen.

scan be seen., the delay has disastrous consequences , I .«:>uld like to point out that I think it i5 natural, if the fim tries to change the last delivery- date. It is a fact , that it is of i portnnce to the reputation of the rim as well as or Denmark.

Now to enumerate some of the points in the case:

1 . The original wainscot (panel?) list which was approved by UN was ~ typical for the lists -- desoite the a reement between the firm and myself.

2. My inquiries about the work until 26 eptember met with the reply that everything was B()in,; as it should .

3. Only then, on 26 Se teober I learned that the i~pregnation was not sufficient, but that the tter now had been straightened out, and that the wol"k would continue 24 hours a day.

4 . Only three weeks later, 15 October at a oeeting here in the drafting ;0om was I told that there would be a three weeks delp;y .

5. In writing, this amounted to six weeks .

6. I sent the letter from the firm and from Collstrup in the hope that

yothu ? would be annoyedj but approve the delay. ey.

7. M.M. Harris letter indicate that completion ust pootponed indefinately, and that the meetings in the chamber probably will be cancelled.

8. Or that the chamber will be used provisionally, which would be a. big additional cost.

In view of this it is natural to expect that the firm will do everything possible to advance delivery.

t 29 October 1951

a . To advance the mpregnation.

b . That the drying take place immediately and successively.

c. That production time is shortened .

The conclusion must be that the last deliver-.( take place much earlier than last notified.

I cannot take into consideration reservatiol'lS concerning shipping. The firm must , irrespective of the ship,)ing situation, finish as soon as possible . They will naturally hnve to put up with shipping delay because of the shipping situation. In view of that, one might just as well be lucky and get a delayed, earlier ship, as to be unlucky and get a delayed one, as to resign oneself to speculating about all this in the planning. It would be of extenuating significance, if the firm would give up its defensive attitude and show increased activity and a positive determination to make up for what I would say is a combination of lack of foresight and carelessness .

In expection of immediate handling of this very decisive probleri,

for Finn Juhl .

Dear Michael Harris ,

22 October 1951

Enclosed a letter from Jacob Petersen A/Sand a copy of a letter to that firm from R. Collstrup A/S (regarding fire-prodfing of sidewall-panels), both received here to-day.

Since DJ¥ return from Italy I have asked many times, if the work went on according to schedule . I was informed, that it did, and Jacob Petersen ' s people first told me on the 26th of September, that there was a problem concerning Collstrup's -work, but they added, that they now had the situa­tion in hand, and that no delay would occur. However I insisted, that a new test should be made by you as soon as possible.

Since then we have had a lot of conferences, but until the 15th of October it was impossible for me to get exact inf&rmation. At a meeting here I demanded to get letters from both firms telling, how the matter had deve­loped, and how we stood for delivery-dateso The letters talk for themselves. The only thing I can add is, that Jacob Petersen's tell me that the first shipment (18th December) also will contain all special panel-lists, i.e. all lists around doors, windows, edges of panel-walls, foot-boards etc. I have insisted, that they should deliver, the way they now offer, in the hope, that we this way could keep your workers busy in a reasonable manner.

Sorry to bring such bad news. I cannot see, that it was possible for me to do anything more about it. Jacob Petersen's have told me, that they ought to have infonned me earlier.

Sincerely yours

Dear Sir.

Referring to our discussion of the 12th inst . we enclose a letter from R. Collstrop A/S . containing a statement of the causes of the regrettable delay in the fireproofing, which delay must of course influence our time of delivery.

As appears from the letter the materials will be ready for kiln-drying about the 10th of November. Considering the time required for kiln-drying and our job we shall be able to deliver as follows: By ship scheduled to leave Copenhagen on the 18th Decem­ber 3/4 of the panels for the northern wall . By the next ship leaving about the 2nd January 1952 the remaining fourth part of the northern wall, and about half of the panels for the southern wall. The still remaining panels can be forwarded the ship leaving this town about the 16th January . Finally, the ceiling will be ready for shipment about the 6th February.

At the same time we have pleasure in informing you that the doors corresponding to the frames now shipped will be sent by the ship she­duled to leave Copenhagen on the 20th November.

We are, dear Sir yours faithfully

R: Ash-wood treated with fire-retardants.

We should like to resume how this matter has developed

since we received the first samples of ash-wood for panels from your

esteemed firm.

First of all we wish to put before you that the treatment

cannot be made in our normal retorts because these are in use for

Creosote only. The treatment must take place in our pilot- plant

which has a capacity of abt. 25 cbft of "WOod.

The treatment of the first samples was carried out during

the first days of April this year and as•the penetration was satisfactory

a specimen was sent to USA for approval.

After approval received we started the treatment of the bulk

but it soon became apparent that the penetration now did not conform

to the AWPA requirements.

We started at once renewed experiments. We soon stated that

the new material differed from the first samples inasmuch as the new material

mainly contained panels cut parallel to the grain which was not the

case with the first samples which were partly cut across the grain

thus allowing the liquid to enter longitudinally m re easily through

the vessels.

Furthennore, the new material mainly consists of heart-wood

with an abundant development of tyloses.

After several experimental treatments with the following

kiln-drying (each test taking about a week) we found a suitable

procedure which allows a satisfactory penetration.

The ,new procedure takes a considerable longer time but through

CO PY 17th October 1951

Collstrop '/S

Fa. Jacob Petersen Snedkeriakts., Viktoriagade 6, v.

working day and night we are still able to carry through the impreg­

nation of the whole bulk durinl!; the same interval of time as foreseen .

On account of the above-mentioned necessary extra experiments

the treatment of the material could not take place as early as expected

but has been postponed until to-day. If nothing extraordinary occurs

we expect to have the whole treatment finished about November the 10th

from which date the kiln-drying eventually can take place.

Yours faithfully ,
