Discussing Mrs. Harrison's plan for the en-
largement of the Executive Mansion, which is
embodied in Senator Stanford's bill for extend
ing the "President's House." a Washington
correspondent truthfully says: "Mrs Harrison
was led to the consideration of this subject by
the realization of the utter inadequacy of the
present structure for the proper transaction of
public business, and also for the accommoda-
tion of The President of the United States and
wh in tha
Mansion is too circumscribed. The fact is,
there are not six available bedrooms In the
house, and it has long been matter of wonder
to many people how the President and his fam
lily get along as we'll as they do in such limited
residence quarters"
