Speaker 1 (00:09):
The DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of Better Things
for better Living through Chemistry, presents the Cavalcade of America
to night star Charles Voie. The Knight's DuPont Cavalcade is
(00:31):
called the Grand Design and begins in the year seventeen
ninety one. Charles Boyet stars in the role of Major
Pierre Charles LaFond, a Parisian by birth, an artist by
inheritance and training a soldier by force of circumstance.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
This is his story.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I remember the date began.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I had received a semmons from the men expected above
all of the men living, a soldier in whose service
at fought for the War of Revolution President George Washington
at Philadelphia, was ushered into the President's study. Well, Major lawful,
this is indeed a pleasure, and the nunner serve for
(01:18):
me is rather a coincidence to your arriving at just
this moment. I'd been going through some more papers this morning,
and not five minutes past I've found this, your pencil
portrait of mid Major, made in winter quarters twelve years ago,
the dreadful winter, dreadful indeed, well, as I recalled General Well,
I prolonged the sittings beyond all necessity. You see, your
(01:39):
chair was placed near the fire, and I had the
opportunity to warm myself before the flames.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I drew and drew and baked my chili. Boys.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Perhaps that accounts for the felicity of your drawing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Major. Yes, General, you've heard about.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
The dispute concerning the location of our national capital.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh, of course, But when I left New York, Sir,
his settlement was rumored.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
No, a compromise has been accomplished. Yes, we shall start
afresh and build a new city.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It will rise not fifteen miles from my own home
on the banks.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Of the Potomac.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Major, you begin to suspect why I've required you to
come to Philadelphia, General Washington, I would give my right arm,
my life itself if I could be chosen to draw
the plans for that new city. No such sacrifice will
be required, Major, The commission is yours.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Well, Major Hull, Sir, I'm overwhelmed, for it's so hard
to believe that I, a Frenchman with few friends, with
no influence, that I should be chosen.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You have been chosen because I believe you are best
fitted for the task and because I remember long ago winter,
you have been one of us since vallely Forge. When
(03:08):
President warned me, I cannot say I had no hint
at all of what was to come, there would be
difficulties of a practical nature.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, the practical's difficulties began with purchase of the land.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
At a meeting house in Georgetown, President Washington addressed the
owners of the ten mile square block of Brushwood Wilderness
chosen for the new capital. And so, gentlemen, if I
may recapitulate, the Congress will pay each owner twenty five
pounds Berreaker for his land. Surveyors under Major l'enfan and
(03:44):
Captain Robertox are now engaged in dividing the tract into
cipy lots. Half of these lots will be sold at
public auction, the proceeds going into the National Treasury.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But due landholders will retain ownership in every other lot
in New City.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Alternate lots will remain your own property. In return for
this generous offer, the Congress and the Commissioners advanced but
one stipulation. No payment will be made to you for
the relatively small amount of land needed for roads, off
for avenues and streets. Well, I trust I've made myself clear,
(04:28):
mister short lived if.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It put the matter to a vote, and the.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Vote was carried.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But after the meeting, a small group of landowners led
by one mister Burnham, met in the nearby tavern. By chance,
my assistant Isaac Roberto occupied in nearby tible. Mister Burnham
was more talkative than he had appeared earlier in the
evening in the public meeting.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Ah, if only they hadn't popped the thing upon us
so sudden like. Why we could have made our eternal.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Fortunes by holding him up.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
You may call it that, I say, by getting our
just desserts. And it can still be done.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh what do you mean, Ah.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You're interested.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Eh, Well, it's as plain as the nose on your face.
Now listen, it'll be years and years before all of
the Capitol District lots will be worth real money.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
But some of them, some of them, some.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Of those lots they're going to auction off. Are the
man who knew which lots to buy in yees, he
could sell them again for worth thousands. But that's only
for the right lots, the ones right spang next to
the big public buildings. The capital, the President's palace, the
treasury is go on. Now, who knows where those buildings
(05:51):
are going to go up?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who knows?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
They?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Only the frenchman what's his name?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Long fun?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
He's our man.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
If he'd show us his play, why we could afford
to let him in of a venture?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What venture? Burnham? You can cop me out of this.
I'm satisfied with the payment as it is, so are
most of us.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Good Night to you.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
But a good old Billings always wanted to have his joke,
a bit of a stuck up nam bit Pamby too.
I'd say, uh, look here, Burnham, I'm not stuck up,
but it would take money, a lot of money to
swing this sort of thing. I haven't got it, You
haven't got it. So wait a minute, wait a minute.
(06:33):
Every year of Daniel Carrell of Duddington, of.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Course, the richest man in the district.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Ah, but not rich enough, not as Daniel sees it.
And Daniel's uncle is on the Congressional Commission. Now, Danield,
he's a friend of mine, and I think I just
think mine, you're I think he'd be interested, Oh yes,
I think he'd be interested in me.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
By day I work with the surveyors, and by night,
off and all through the night, I slaved at my
drafting board. No eyes save mine beheld a master plan,
no mind but my own as yet knew the grandeur
of my conception. At last, when the design was completed.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I placed it.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Before my friend Roberto Major. It is magnificent, magnificence. And
I wait, look, you understand the principal design, the Capitol
building here on what they called Jenkins Hill, and this
great avenue leading to the Palace of the President. Yes,
fountains here and here, with a great cascade between beautiful
(07:43):
and all about, these great circles monumented with avenues connecting.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Them like the spokes of a wheel.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A city of wist, more beautiful than the Athens of Pericles,
most tickling on the Gaston Road. And you do not
thing so oh, yes, yes, no city so fine has
ever been built upon this earth. But Pierre, quite, my friend.
Will these people understand it? It is people who make
a city, not art, oh, my dear vir. To these people,
(08:12):
these Americans, they are chosen for a destiny of incomparable
majesty and power. My city is the city of the future,
Tradom's home, the home of liberty under order, perhaps, But
here and now back look again at the flag. Here,
this grand avenue four hundred feet wide, well four hundred
(08:35):
feet Pierre, and these radiating thoroughfares, with their great circles.
Each square inch of that land comes out of the
pockets of the original owners.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
What will the owner say of that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I am confident that General Washington would persuade them to
act with generosity and simple patriotism. Well, it is possible,
for your sake, Major, I hope it is possible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Who is that? Come in good afternoon, gentlemen. Major it's Burnham,
who the man I told you.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
About, Major Lafa, I believe, yes, my name is Latham,
and mine is Burnham, a gentleman. I represent a group
of patriotic citizens interested in investing funds in the new.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
City, lots to be sold at auction.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, yeah, it's mister Burnham.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Continue, well, naturally, we wish to see the plan of
the city, and I have been deputized.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Is not available to you, mister Burnham, nor to any
other avaricious speculatory.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Now see here, Major Lafa. The people I represent are
great admirers of yours, purely as a gesture of friendship
and admirations are purely as a gesture, we are prepared
to tender you a tenth share in our capital venture.
Of course, as you're associate well naturally as your friends,
(10:03):
we would be entitled to see the player.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Get out, mister Burnham, get out.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Are you lucky here, Frenchy? Nobody's going to buy that
public land without they see the plan. First, Folks, here
about saint my habit of buying a pig and a
polk and much more. We don't like interfere in foreigners.
And let me tell you this. My friends are powerful, powerful,
and the right place.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Is and sir he kindly sees this, this carry on
cove by the seat of his breachers, and throw him
out of my office, specially you know well whether or
not Daniel Carroll of Deddington was one of the powerful friends.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Of mister Burnham, and never found out very certainty.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But the week after Burnham's visit, mister Carroll began to
build a house. And mister Carroll built his house directly
across the land I had intended as one of my main.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Avenues, blocking and majestic vista.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I act at once, Bill here here what is the
meaning of this, materel on font What are these men
doing on my property?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
What are these these these strange.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Engines bettering rams, mister Carroll, What you're not going to
I'm going to destroy your house, mister Carroll.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I'm going to level it to the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What right have you to take such action around? What authority?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The authority of President Washington and the Congress of the
United States.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I happen to know you have had no such instructions
from your superiors. Now, if you would let me see
your plan.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No one sees my plans, not until the lots are sold.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
He you must be mad round phant. My uncle is
a member of the Congressional Commission. If you commit this outrage,
I'll see to it that you were dismissed and disgrace.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You betrive if you wish, mister Carroll, But the house
comes down, Captain Roberdeaux, you will instruct the workmen to
begin demolition.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, my friend, are you sure you wish to take
this step?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There'll be no turning back.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm not accustomed to turn back. Did the orders? Captain
Daniel Carroll and mister Burnham had plenty of company. Soon,
the Congressional Commission for the New Federal District was under
siege by hundreds of aspiring land speculators, pressure to release
(12:24):
my plan before the state the lots reaching co shandroom,
and then I received a letter from President Washington. You wrote,
in part, your actions have come to my attention. In future,
I must strictly enjoy you to touch no man's property
without his consent or the previous order of the commissioners.
(12:47):
Having only the beauty and regularity of your plan in view,
you pursue it as if every person a thing were
obliged to yield to it. At your earliest convenience, My
dear l'enfond, will you please call upon me at Philadelphia.
(13:18):
You are listening to the Cavalcade of America starring Charles
Boyer in the Grand Design, sponsored by the DuPont Company,
makers of better things for better living through chemistry.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Among DuPont's Better Things for Better Living.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Is DuPont neoprene rubber, used for many products and in
a wide variety of ways. Recently we heard of another
interesting use of neoprene. A California couple developed a new
household tool for polishing silverware. They used a block of
DuPont neoprene because it is resistant to the oils and
(13:53):
chemicals in silver polish, and because it contains.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No sulfur which discolors silverware.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
In the block of DuPont neeoprine there are places for knives, forks,
and spoons in which the silver polish is put and
the utensils rubbed back and forth. This unique use of
dupoteoprine is another example of how many new businesses have
started with the help of the dupot companies better things
for better living through chemistry. The Cavalcate continues, starring Charles
(14:33):
Boyer as Major Kerr Charles Lampond, soldier, artist builder, telling
the story of the great work of his life, the
plan for the Capital City at.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Washington, d c.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
In Now, Sir, to General Washington's letter requesting me to
call upon him, I set forth for Philadelphia and met
with the President in his study. Yeah, I congratulate you
upon your design. You've fully justified my choice.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
In fact, you've.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Exceeded my fondest hopes. Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
But in other ways, Major you have I'm very much
afraid acted in well in a rash manner.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I should like to hear the reasons for your actions.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Sir, quy sure they are more simple.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
If this hold of speculators is permitted to see the
plan of my city, there will be no city worthy
of the name. Loss would be sold, and houses would
be built only upon land adjacent to the public buildings.
Cluster of taverns and boarding houses will spring up about
the very tempers of government in between wilderness.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
My plan will be utterly defeated.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
My friend.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Unless your plan is displayed, there would be no city
at all.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And better no city at all than the hideous shambles
of the city.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I cannot agree with you, Major, or do I foresee
consequences quite so horrible as you imagine.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I feel you know we must compromise in this instance.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
As it cuts Menser.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I never compromise an administrator, Major, I often must oh, I.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Understand, I understand, and I sympathize.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes, I too have cherished grand designs. Major, I've seen
men tear them down.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I've tried to create a beautiful city.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I cannot see destroyers.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let me tell you this, the victory of our arms, Major,
the very victory at Yorktown, came as a result of compromise.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Perhaps you did not know that.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
No, I did not sir, well, your General Rochambeau had
arrived with a French army at Newport in Rhode Island.
It was my plan, my cherished plan, to join our
forces with his at the Hudson River and descend upon
the British in New York. But Rochambeau urged instead a
march far into the south against Cornwallis. He was supported
(16:56):
by the French ambassador and the admiral of the French fleet.
I yielded, Major, I gave up my precious design.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Victory was the result.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Will you not yield?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'm sorry, General, but with the best will in the world,
I cannot agree that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The situations are alike.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Not exactly, Major, not exactly sure. You've learned that life
is not a matter of exactitudes. In life, there are
no straight lines.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
My friend, yield but a little lest you yourself be destroyed.
In my city, mister President, the lines are straight and
clean and pure.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Major Lafar.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It is not your city.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
It is the people's city. And the people are are
well what they are.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
They are human, fallible, seeing only the present moment. Yet
they are worth cherishing.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Above all plans nature. It is not my custom to
plead for obedience with some men.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I should have acted otherwise, But there is genius in
your design I can recognize.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Please these, mister President.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm not a genius, and I claim no privilege of genius.
I'm a caftsman, and the greedy, thoughtless people will destroy.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
The work of my hands. Who believe me, sir, With
all my heart, I wish I could yield. I've prayed
for the strength to let my city be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I cannot do it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Please believe me.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I am most sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I must ask that you resign your commission.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Sir. You will have my resignation within the hour. You
may use my plans, mister President, or not.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
In neither event, I shall accept no payment from the Congress.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Major Yes, mister President.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
May I say, sir, that I envy you. In all
my life, I have never been able to afford the
luxury of such an action as yours.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Had I been honest or.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Merely proud, had I acted with integrity, with a great selfishness,
I never then could be quite sure. And it was
that uncertainty that made.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
My heartbreak doubly hardwar.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
As the years went by, my fortune's head and the
tide ran almost out in my poor legends at Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Major, I cannot see you on the table the candle,
I did, Captain.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Roberto, Well that's better.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Why wait a long for Hey, sir, I'm a poor spectacle.
I know my my poor friend, Major. I bring you
wonderful news. The Congress has voted you five hundred guineas
twenty five hundred dollars on this new currency for your
(20:27):
services at Washington.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Should not accept it.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Not a super peer. They are following your great Plano.
The outline is there.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Spirit is not oys, ad squirrel and littleness.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Major. You need help.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Why you need clothing and food and a decent place
to live?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Please? Please, you must take the money, not just super Captain.
What is soup?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Can one live with honor for bread?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
No? But one can.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Quit the sea with honor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
This man is dying, mister Diggs.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I can do nothing more. Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (21:32):
No, I don't think that anyone has ever known him. Well, Doctor,
he wandered to my door a year ago. I've given
him shelter, bed and food here in Maryland for the
past year.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
He asked for you.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Just now, I'll go to him somewhere sometime. This poor
shell of a man has known greatness.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mister Diggs, mister Diggs, I am here, sir, Let me here, listen,
Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I made a city once, a great city, the home
of freedom.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
City of grandeur and light, city.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Of liberty and order, mister Diggs, mister Dicks says, I
am listening, never letting.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You won't tell you every yet an you won't tell
you what you.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Hear I can hear.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Never let anyone tell you that order and freedom cannot
exist together. One day in my city, t will be
shown forth how free men can hold themselves with courage
(22:56):
and wisdom and gently.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I'm so grateful.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Stickings So.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
In the year eighteen twenty five, Pierre Charles Lanfran died
at the home of William Diggs. He was buried there
at the foot of a great tree. An inventory of
his personal goods and chattels showed that they consisted in
three watches, three compasses, some books, a map, and a
(23:42):
few surveying instruments, the whole being valued at forty six dollars.
With the help of other architects, the city of Washington
grew into the grand design our national capital, and it
came to pass us that in nineteen nine the mortal
(24:02):
remains of Pierre Charles Lanfard were removed to Arlington Cemetery,
and his monument, a draftsman's table engraved with his city plan,
was dedicated in nineteen eleven by Eliherut, Secretary of State.
So on this occasion, let us remember one thing. Few
(24:22):
men can afford to wait a hundred years to be remembered.
It is not a change in Pierre Charles Lanfarn that
brings us here. It is we who have changed, who
have just become able to appreciate his work. And our
tribute to him should be this to continue his work,
to continue his work, until we have truly at last
(24:45):
made a city, a nation, a world in which freedom
and order may live together.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
In reason, in fortitude, in love.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh Thanks to chald Boyer and the Cavalcade players for
tonight's story, the Grand Design and.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Now Bill Hamilton speaking for the DuPont Company.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Once every two years, automotive jobbers from all parts of
the country get together at their Automotive Service Industry Show.
The nineteen fifty meeting is being held this week in Chicago.
Just what is an automotive jobber? Well, you might call
him a wholesaler of parts and accessories, a supply house
between the manufacturer and your local dealer. The jobber stocks
(25:44):
thousands of items so that your dealer can supply you
at any time. If it were not for these automotive jobbers,
you might have to wait weeks for your serviceman to
get a needed part from the manufacturer.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
We at the DuPont.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Company have good reason to recognize the valuable services the
automotive jabber performs. Here is the man who gets our
Dupot products into your hands. Products such as Zeroon and Xerx, antifreeze,
Duco and du Luxe automobile finishes, and the DuPont Number
seven line of polishes, radiator cleaners, and other automotive chemicals
(26:20):
alert for every improvement. The jabber delivers these DuPont developments,
along with those of other manufacturers, to your local dealer
so that.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
He can serve you better.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Chemical science and the Dupot Company contribute much more to
the modern automobile than many people realize. In addition to
the products the jabber brings you, there are a number
that come to you by way of the manufacture of
your car. Cordia, viscos, rayon tarrion for long lasting safer tires,
neoprene rubber for ignition, wire and radiator and heater hose,
(26:54):
plastic interlayers for safety, glass, nylon for upholstery and seat covers,
to make just a few. The Automotive Service Industry Show
this week in Chicago is another illustration of the way
other industries make use of the products of chemistry. It
illustrates also how business firms of all kinds and sizes
(27:14):
join hands to serve you, how the automotive jobbers helped
to bring his son of DuPont's better Things for better
living through chemistry. Next week, the DuPont Cavalcade star will
be Ronald Reagan. Our play Ulysses in Love tells a
heartwarming story of the youthful Ulysses S.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Grant and the girl he loved, Jujia Dent.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Be sure to listen.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
The Knight's DuPont Cavalcade was written by George H.

Faulkner.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Charles Boyer may soon be seen in the twentieth Century
Fox production.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
The thirteenth letter in.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Support of mister Boyer was Stotts Cotsworth in the role
of George Washington. Music for the DuPont Cavalcade is composed
by Arden Cornwell and conducted by Donald Boies. The program
is directed by John Zeller. This is bry Harris speaking
and reminding you, as we approach the holiday season, not
to forget the Salvation Army Christmas Fund. Your contributions dropped
(28:08):
in its kettles will make it possible for the Salvation
Army to help others at Christmas time.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Give as much as you can.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Don't forget Next week Ronald Reagan.

The DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of Better Things
for better Living through Chemistry, presents the Cavalcade of America
to night star Charles Voie. The Knight's DuPont Cavalcade is
(00:31):
called the Grand Design and begins in the year seventeen
ninety one. Charles Boyet stars in the role of Major
Pierre Charles LaFond, a Parisian by birth, an artist by
inheritance and training a soldier by force of circumstance.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
This is his story.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I remember the date began.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I had received a semmons from the men expected above
all of the men living, a soldier in whose service
at fought for the War of Revolution President George Washington
at Philadelphia, was ushered into the President's study. Well, Major lawful,
this is indeed a pleasure, and the nunner serve for
(01:18):
me is rather a coincidence to your arriving at just
this moment. I'd been going through some more papers this morning,
and not five minutes past I've found this, your pencil
portrait of mid Major, made in winter quarters twelve years ago,
the dreadful winter, dreadful indeed, well, as I recalled General Well,
I prolonged the sittings beyond all necessity. You see, your
(01:39):
chair was placed near the fire, and I had the
opportunity to warm myself before the flames.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I drew and drew and baked my chili. Boys.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Perhaps that accounts for the felicity of your drawing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Major. Yes, General, you've heard about.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
The dispute concerning the location of our national capital.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh, of course, But when I left New York, Sir,
his settlement was rumored.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
No, a compromise has been accomplished. Yes, we shall start
afresh and build a new city.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It will rise not fifteen miles from my own home
on the banks.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Of the Potomac.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Major, you begin to suspect why I've required you to
come to Philadelphia, General Washington, I would give my right arm,
my life itself if I could be chosen to draw
the plans for that new city. No such sacrifice will
be required, Major, The commission is yours.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Well, Major Hull, Sir, I'm overwhelmed, for it's so hard
to believe that I, a Frenchman with few friends, with
no influence, that I should be chosen.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You have been chosen because I believe you are best
fitted for the task and because I remember long ago winter,
you have been one of us since vallely Forge. When
(03:08):
President warned me, I cannot say I had no hint
at all of what was to come, there would be
difficulties of a practical nature.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, the practical's difficulties began with purchase of the land.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
At a meeting house in Georgetown, President Washington addressed the
owners of the ten mile square block of Brushwood Wilderness
chosen for the new capital. And so, gentlemen, if I
may recapitulate, the Congress will pay each owner twenty five
pounds Berreaker for his land. Surveyors under Major l'enfan and
(03:44):
Captain Robertox are now engaged in dividing the tract into
cipy lots. Half of these lots will be sold at
public auction, the proceeds going into the National Treasury.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But due landholders will retain ownership in every other lot
in New City.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Alternate lots will remain your own property. In return for
this generous offer, the Congress and the Commissioners advanced but
one stipulation. No payment will be made to you for
the relatively small amount of land needed for roads, off
for avenues and streets. Well, I trust I've made myself clear,
(04:28):
mister short lived if.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It put the matter to a vote, and the.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Vote was carried.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But after the meeting, a small group of landowners led
by one mister Burnham, met in the nearby tavern. By chance,
my assistant Isaac Roberto occupied in nearby tible. Mister Burnham
was more talkative than he had appeared earlier in the
evening in the public meeting.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Ah, if only they hadn't popped the thing upon us
so sudden like. Why we could have made our eternal.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Fortunes by holding him up.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
You may call it that, I say, by getting our
just desserts. And it can still be done.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh what do you mean, Ah.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You're interested.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Eh, Well, it's as plain as the nose on your face.
Now listen, it'll be years and years before all of
the Capitol District lots will be worth real money.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
But some of them, some of them, some.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Of those lots they're going to auction off. Are the
man who knew which lots to buy in yees, he
could sell them again for worth thousands. But that's only
for the right lots, the ones right spang next to
the big public buildings. The capital, the President's palace, the
treasury is go on. Now, who knows where those buildings
(05:51):
are going to go up?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who knows?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
They?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Only the frenchman what's his name?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Long fun?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
He's our man.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
If he'd show us his play, why we could afford
to let him in of a venture?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What venture? Burnham? You can cop me out of this.
I'm satisfied with the payment as it is, so are
most of us.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Good Night to you.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
But a good old Billings always wanted to have his joke,
a bit of a stuck up nam bit Pamby too.
I'd say, uh, look here, Burnham, I'm not stuck up,
but it would take money, a lot of money to
swing this sort of thing. I haven't got it, You
haven't got it. So wait a minute, wait a minute.
(06:33):
Every year of Daniel Carrell of Duddington, of.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Course, the richest man in the district.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Ah, but not rich enough, not as Daniel sees it.
And Daniel's uncle is on the Congressional Commission. Now, Danield,
he's a friend of mine, and I think I just
think mine, you're I think he'd be interested, Oh yes,
I think he'd be interested in me.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
By day I work with the surveyors, and by night,
off and all through the night, I slaved at my
drafting board. No eyes save mine beheld a master plan,
no mind but my own as yet knew the grandeur
of my conception. At last, when the design was completed.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I placed it.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Before my friend Roberto Major. It is magnificent, magnificence. And
I wait, look, you understand the principal design, the Capitol
building here on what they called Jenkins Hill, and this
great avenue leading to the Palace of the President. Yes,
fountains here and here, with a great cascade between beautiful
(07:43):
and all about, these great circles monumented with avenues connecting.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Them like the spokes of a wheel.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A city of wist, more beautiful than the Athens of Pericles,
most tickling on the Gaston Road. And you do not
thing so oh, yes, yes, no city so fine has
ever been built upon this earth. But Pierre, quite, my friend.
Will these people understand it? It is people who make
a city, not art, oh, my dear vir. To these people,
(08:12):
these Americans, they are chosen for a destiny of incomparable
majesty and power. My city is the city of the future,
Tradom's home, the home of liberty under order, perhaps, But
here and now back look again at the flag. Here,
this grand avenue four hundred feet wide, well four hundred
(08:35):
feet Pierre, and these radiating thoroughfares, with their great circles.
Each square inch of that land comes out of the
pockets of the original owners.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
What will the owner say of that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I am confident that General Washington would persuade them to
act with generosity and simple patriotism. Well, it is possible,
for your sake, Major, I hope it is possible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Who is that? Come in good afternoon, gentlemen. Major it's Burnham,
who the man I told you.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
About, Major Lafa, I believe, yes, my name is Latham,
and mine is Burnham, a gentleman. I represent a group
of patriotic citizens interested in investing funds in the new.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
City, lots to be sold at auction.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, yeah, it's mister Burnham.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Continue, well, naturally, we wish to see the plan of
the city, and I have been deputized.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Is not available to you, mister Burnham, nor to any
other avaricious speculatory.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Now see here, Major Lafa. The people I represent are
great admirers of yours, purely as a gesture of friendship
and admirations are purely as a gesture, we are prepared
to tender you a tenth share in our capital venture.
Of course, as you're associate well naturally as your friends,
(10:03):
we would be entitled to see the player.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Get out, mister Burnham, get out.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Are you lucky here, Frenchy? Nobody's going to buy that
public land without they see the plan. First, Folks, here
about saint my habit of buying a pig and a
polk and much more. We don't like interfere in foreigners.
And let me tell you this. My friends are powerful, powerful,
and the right place.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Is and sir he kindly sees this, this carry on
cove by the seat of his breachers, and throw him
out of my office, specially you know well whether or
not Daniel Carroll of Deddington was one of the powerful friends.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Of mister Burnham, and never found out very certainty.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But the week after Burnham's visit, mister Carroll began to
build a house. And mister Carroll built his house directly
across the land I had intended as one of my main.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Avenues, blocking and majestic vista.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I act at once, Bill here here what is the
meaning of this, materel on font What are these men
doing on my property?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
What are these these these strange.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Engines bettering rams, mister Carroll, What you're not going to
I'm going to destroy your house, mister Carroll.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I'm going to level it to the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What right have you to take such action around? What authority?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The authority of President Washington and the Congress of the
United States.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I happen to know you have had no such instructions
from your superiors. Now, if you would let me see
your plan.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No one sees my plans, not until the lots are sold.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
He you must be mad round phant. My uncle is
a member of the Congressional Commission. If you commit this outrage,
I'll see to it that you were dismissed and disgrace.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You betrive if you wish, mister Carroll, But the house
comes down, Captain Roberdeaux, you will instruct the workmen to
begin demolition.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, my friend, are you sure you wish to take
this step?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There'll be no turning back.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm not accustomed to turn back. Did the orders? Captain
Daniel Carroll and mister Burnham had plenty of company. Soon,
the Congressional Commission for the New Federal District was under
siege by hundreds of aspiring land speculators, pressure to release
(12:24):
my plan before the state the lots reaching co shandroom,
and then I received a letter from President Washington. You wrote,
in part, your actions have come to my attention. In future,
I must strictly enjoy you to touch no man's property
without his consent or the previous order of the commissioners.
(12:47):
Having only the beauty and regularity of your plan in view,
you pursue it as if every person a thing were
obliged to yield to it. At your earliest convenience, My
dear l'enfond, will you please call upon me at Philadelphia.
(13:18):
You are listening to the Cavalcade of America starring Charles
Boyer in the Grand Design, sponsored by the DuPont Company,
makers of better things for better living through chemistry.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Among DuPont's Better Things for Better Living.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Is DuPont neoprene rubber, used for many products and in
a wide variety of ways. Recently we heard of another
interesting use of neoprene. A California couple developed a new
household tool for polishing silverware. They used a block of
DuPont neoprene because it is resistant to the oils and
(13:53):
chemicals in silver polish, and because it contains.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No sulfur which discolors silverware.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
In the block of DuPont neeoprine there are places for knives, forks,
and spoons in which the silver polish is put and
the utensils rubbed back and forth. This unique use of
dupoteoprine is another example of how many new businesses have
started with the help of the dupot companies better things
for better living through chemistry. The Cavalcate continues, starring Charles
(14:33):
Boyer as Major Kerr Charles Lampond, soldier, artist builder, telling
the story of the great work of his life, the
plan for the Capital City at.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Washington, d c.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
In Now, Sir, to General Washington's letter requesting me to
call upon him, I set forth for Philadelphia and met
with the President in his study. Yeah, I congratulate you
upon your design. You've fully justified my choice.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
In fact, you've.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Exceeded my fondest hopes. Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
But in other ways, Major you have I'm very much
afraid acted in well in a rash manner.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I should like to hear the reasons for your actions.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Sir, quy sure they are more simple.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
If this hold of speculators is permitted to see the
plan of my city, there will be no city worthy
of the name. Loss would be sold, and houses would
be built only upon land adjacent to the public buildings.
Cluster of taverns and boarding houses will spring up about
the very tempers of government in between wilderness.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
My plan will be utterly defeated.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
My friend.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Unless your plan is displayed, there would be no city
at all.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And better no city at all than the hideous shambles
of the city.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I cannot agree with you, Major, or do I foresee
consequences quite so horrible as you imagine.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I feel you know we must compromise in this instance.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
As it cuts Menser.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I never compromise an administrator, Major, I often must oh, I.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Understand, I understand, and I sympathize.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes, I too have cherished grand designs. Major, I've seen
men tear them down.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I've tried to create a beautiful city.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I cannot see destroyers.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Let me tell you this, the victory of our arms, Major,
the very victory at Yorktown, came as a result of compromise.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Perhaps you did not know that.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
No, I did not sir, well, your General Rochambeau had
arrived with a French army at Newport in Rhode Island.
It was my plan, my cherished plan, to join our
forces with his at the Hudson River and descend upon
the British in New York. But Rochambeau urged instead a
march far into the south against Cornwallis. He was supported
(16:56):
by the French ambassador and the admiral of the French fleet.
I yielded, Major, I gave up my precious design.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Victory was the result.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Will you not yield?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'm sorry, General, but with the best will in the world,
I cannot agree that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
The situations are alike.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Not exactly, Major, not exactly sure. You've learned that life
is not a matter of exactitudes. In life, there are
no straight lines.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
My friend, yield but a little lest you yourself be destroyed.
In my city, mister President, the lines are straight and
clean and pure.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Major Lafar.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It is not your city.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
It is the people's city. And the people are are
well what they are.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
They are human, fallible, seeing only the present moment. Yet
they are worth cherishing.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Above all plans nature. It is not my custom to
plead for obedience with some men.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I should have acted otherwise, But there is genius in
your design I can recognize.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Please these, mister President.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm not a genius, and I claim no privilege of genius.
I'm a caftsman, and the greedy, thoughtless people will destroy.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
The work of my hands. Who believe me, sir, With
all my heart, I wish I could yield. I've prayed
for the strength to let my city be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I cannot do it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Please believe me.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I am most sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I must ask that you resign your commission.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Sir. You will have my resignation within the hour. You
may use my plans, mister President, or not.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
In neither event, I shall accept no payment from the Congress.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Major Yes, mister President.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
May I say, sir, that I envy you. In all
my life, I have never been able to afford the
luxury of such an action as yours.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Had I been honest or.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Merely proud, had I acted with integrity, with a great selfishness,
I never then could be quite sure. And it was
that uncertainty that made.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
My heartbreak doubly hardwar.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
As the years went by, my fortune's head and the
tide ran almost out in my poor legends at Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Major, I cannot see you on the table the candle,
I did, Captain.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Roberto, Well that's better.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Why wait a long for Hey, sir, I'm a poor spectacle.
I know my my poor friend, Major. I bring you
wonderful news. The Congress has voted you five hundred guineas
twenty five hundred dollars on this new currency for your
(20:27):
services at Washington.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Should not accept it.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Not a super peer. They are following your great Plano.
The outline is there.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Spirit is not oys, ad squirrel and littleness.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Major. You need help.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Why you need clothing and food and a decent place
to live?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Please? Please, you must take the money, not just super Captain.
What is soup?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Can one live with honor for bread?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
No? But one can.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Quit the sea with honor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
This man is dying, mister Diggs.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I can do nothing more. Do you know him?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (21:32):
No, I don't think that anyone has ever known him. Well, Doctor,
he wandered to my door a year ago. I've given
him shelter, bed and food here in Maryland for the
past year.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
He asked for you.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Just now, I'll go to him somewhere sometime. This poor
shell of a man has known greatness.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mister Diggs, mister Diggs, I am here, sir, Let me here, listen,
Listen to me.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I made a city once, a great city, the home
of freedom.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
City of grandeur and light, city.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Of liberty and order, mister Diggs, mister Dicks says, I
am listening, never letting.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You won't tell you every yet an you won't tell
you what you.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Hear I can hear.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Never let anyone tell you that order and freedom cannot
exist together. One day in my city, t will be
shown forth how free men can hold themselves with courage
(22:56):
and wisdom and gently.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I'm so grateful.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Stickings So.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
In the year eighteen twenty five, Pierre Charles Lanfran died
at the home of William Diggs. He was buried there
at the foot of a great tree. An inventory of
his personal goods and chattels showed that they consisted in
three watches, three compasses, some books, a map, and a
(23:42):
few surveying instruments, the whole being valued at forty six dollars.
With the help of other architects, the city of Washington
grew into the grand design our national capital, and it
came to pass us that in nineteen nine the mortal
(24:02):
remains of Pierre Charles Lanfard were removed to Arlington Cemetery,
and his monument, a draftsman's table engraved with his city plan,
was dedicated in nineteen eleven by Eliherut, Secretary of State.
So on this occasion, let us remember one thing. Few
(24:22):
men can afford to wait a hundred years to be remembered.
It is not a change in Pierre Charles Lanfarn that
brings us here. It is we who have changed, who
have just become able to appreciate his work. And our
tribute to him should be this to continue his work,
to continue his work, until we have truly at last
(24:45):
made a city, a nation, a world in which freedom
and order may live together.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
In reason, in fortitude, in love.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh Thanks to chald Boyer and the Cavalcade players for
tonight's story, the Grand Design and.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Now Bill Hamilton speaking for the DuPont Company.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Once every two years, automotive jobbers from all parts of
the country get together at their Automotive Service Industry Show.
The nineteen fifty meeting is being held this week in Chicago.
Just what is an automotive jobber? Well, you might call
him a wholesaler of parts and accessories, a supply house
between the manufacturer and your local dealer. The jobber stocks
(25:44):
thousands of items so that your dealer can supply you
at any time. If it were not for these automotive jobbers,
you might have to wait weeks for your serviceman to
get a needed part from the manufacturer.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
We at the DuPont.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Company have good reason to recognize the valuable services the
automotive jabber performs. Here is the man who gets our
Dupot products into your hands. Products such as Zeroon and Xerx, antifreeze,
Duco and du Luxe automobile finishes, and the DuPont Number
seven line of polishes, radiator cleaners, and other automotive chemicals
(26:20):
alert for every improvement. The jabber delivers these DuPont developments,
along with those of other manufacturers, to your local dealer
so that.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
He can serve you better.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Chemical science and the Dupot Company contribute much more to
the modern automobile than many people realize. In addition to
the products the jabber brings you, there are a number
that come to you by way of the manufacture of
your car. Cordia, viscos, rayon tarrion for long lasting safer tires,
neoprene rubber for ignition, wire and radiator and heater hose,
(26:54):
plastic interlayers for safety, glass, nylon for upholstery and seat covers,
to make just a few. The Automotive Service Industry Show
this week in Chicago is another illustration of the way
other industries make use of the products of chemistry. It
illustrates also how business firms of all kinds and sizes
(27:14):
join hands to serve you, how the automotive jobbers helped
to bring his son of DuPont's better Things for better
living through chemistry. Next week, the DuPont Cavalcade star will
be Ronald Reagan. Our play Ulysses in Love tells a
heartwarming story of the youthful Ulysses S.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Grant and the girl he loved, Jujia Dent.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
