Mosaic Carpets. To contrast with nature's grandeur, the Owingses tried to make the interior snug and warm. The only floor coverings are the pebble floor-mosaics designed by Mrs. Owings, but art abounds in the house-paintings by Morris Graves, drawings by Buffet, a candelabra by Seymour Lipton. When someone remarked that the house, with its redwood sheathing and massive chimney, was reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright, Nat Owings, a longtime aluminum-and-glass specialist, was taken aback, finally admitted: "Wright was a master of the organic philosophy of design.

Catholics will have contributed more than $30 million by the time the shrine is completed ($18 million has been raised so far). Says Monsignor Thomas J.

In the five years it took to build the upper church-with as many as 200 men a day working 200-300 feet up-no one was killed or seriously injured...
