back and forth. chatting even as the
bills were being read. To the un-

However. there was an earnestness
Of purpose in the atmosphere.
Lieutenant Governor Emmett F.
Branch, Immediately clad in a gray
tweed suit. with a gray silk handker-
chief peeping from his pocket, stood
on the presidents platform. gavel
poised, ready to cut short any waste
Of time. Behind his horn-rimmed
glasses his eyes roved over the as
sembly as he quickly dispatched bill
after bill.
EROM time TO time, while a bill
L was being read or a vote was be
Ing taken. he stepped from the plat
form to speak to some Senator.
Pages, with eager, boyish faces. ran
back and forth from desk to desk.
Between errands they sat on nigh
stools facing the legislators. They

High oak panels formed the back
ground. Above them the walls
stretched, an expanse Of pale green,
broken by panels and els. Deep mul-

windows Through the few smaller
stained glass windows the light sent
a vari-cOlored stream.

Bobbed-hair f1appers propped up their
knees, cupped their chins in their
hands and watched the proceedings.
.Eot much could be heard. Their eyes
.eGndered; their minds seemed far

Slick-haired "sheiks" stood behind
the girls. The more earnest Of the
groups evidently took a real interest,
as if they thought Of themselves as the
successors Of the men now grinding
out the laws.
Behind a brass rail on the assembly
floor were more spectators.
At the front Of the hall, Truman
