Congress Hall To
Get Face Lifted
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Today’s
session of the Senate and House
will be their last this year in the
historic Capitol Hill legislative
halls they usually occupy.
When the two bodies meet again
next Tuesday, the Senate will
, crowd into the old Supreme Court
i chamber on the ground floor of
the Capitol and the House will
cram its 433 present members into
the ways and means committee
room in the new House office
building.
There they will stay until they
finish this year’s work—possibly
for several more months — while
carpenters, upholsters, painters,
decorators and other workmen
take over the Senate and House
chambers.
Certain fungus domesticated by
ants is extinct in its wild state,
just like grains domesticated by
man.

broad jumped 22 feet 4>/2 inches,
and ran the 400 meters in 51.3 sec
