These were some of the plans disclosed last week by deep-voiced, horn-bespectacled Henry Killam Murphy, able Manhattan architect, designer of"Yale in China" (Ya-li), Changsha, Hunan; Yenching University, Peking; William ("Billy") Lyon Phelps's residence. New Haven, Conn. Undeterred by wars, far-sighted President Chiang Kai-shek had commissioned Architect Murphy to plan a new city of Nanking, a new capital for the Nationalist government...
