MEMBERS Of HOUSE
SEEK MORE ROOM
Plans for EnIarging Office
Building to Meet Needs Are
Under Inspection.

Architects plans for enlarging the
House Office Building so as to provide
375 additional rooms, thus permitting
each member Of Congress to have two
office rooms, were placed on exhibit
tion for study by members OF the
House in the Speakers lobby today.
In response to repeated complaints
from practically half the membership
of the House 6tring the last session
OF Congress at the suggestion OF the
House Office building commission,
David Lynn, architect of the Capitol,
had these plans drawn by Carrere d
Hastings, who were the architects Tor
the present House Office Building.
Addition to Building Planned.
In order to provide maximum room
space at the least possible cost II is
proposed to build an addition In the
form of a T in the large court within
the present Office building structure.
When the plans were originally
drawn this large court was left to
be used for the very purpose that Is
now contemplated. Ample light and
ventilation Is provided. as at no place
will the proposed addition be within
65 feet OF the existing structure,
which. II Is explained, Is wider than
most streets. and in some places the
distance between WINDOWS VIII pe
more than 100 feet.
Tbese nlans have been considered
nv the public buildings commission,
which today authorized submittal TO
the members as a suggestion OF what
can be done to provide more adequate
quarters. These two new wings are
to be nine stories high, where the
present building is only six stories
on the court side. Much of this ad-
ditional floor space is provided by not
having the ceilings as high In the
proposed annex as in the original
building.
Row of Rooms Contemplated.
It also is proposed to build row
of new rooms on the outer side OF
the sixth floor on the B and G streets
sides of the present building. Al
ready >here are rooms on the court
side of the sixth floor, and storage
rooms with slanting roof on the front
side. The intention Is to raise the
roof the same as was done in the
Treasury Building.
Architect Lynn emphasizes that this
elevation will not detract from the
beauty OF the building as seen from
the street because the angle of vision
does not allow this new height to be
visible.
The estimated cost OF this exten-
sion of the House Office Building is
between s2,5O0.0o0 and 100000.
whereas If a. new site was acquired
and a complete new building erected
as an annex, 1t would cost at least
SO, 100000. while not being as con-
venient for the intended use.
Two Rooms For Each Possible.
The present building was put up
with such an extension in mind and
1t will be very easy to give each
member two connecting rooms, be-
| cause the doorways between the
rooms were built and plastered over
so that all that is necessary is to
break through the doorways, without
disturbing the structural strength in
any way.
The annex would be Of steel frame
construction with outer surfacing to
match the present building.

ence to have your decision overruled'
Mr. Purcell admonished the boards s
| investigating committee. IF you take
that as a threat. in the words of our
great co-militarist, Patrick Henry,
make the most of it,"
Col. Kenyon asked the board COM
mittee why should 1t waste its time
and the time of the school children
listening to Libby when there ARE
so many pure minded patriots who
will come and talk to the school chill
dren." DR.. Dudley, speaking as
representative of the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion, said the organi
zation had no objection to Mr.. Libby's
accent on peace, but to his efforts to
influence adversely the minds of
school children regarding the military
and naval heroes of the past. That
would be a dangerous thing to have
happen" he concluded.
Libby Defends Course.
Speaking in mis- own defense, Libby
emphatically denied that he was an
agent of Soviet Russia or approved
of that form of government. and
pointed out that 1t was his patriotic
duty as an American citizen, regard
less of persecution, to prevent an
other war which will be the grave
yard of civilization" "I am willing
to give my life for my own country
in my own way" he said, "and this
is my way"
In reply to vo1leys of questions
fired at him by his critics, Mr.. Libby
admitted he is a paciflst: that he
opposes preparedness because, he
says, 1t provides a sense of false Sc
curity and causes rather than pre-
vents war: that he opposes enlarg-
i'm ha
approve of their abolition, and that
he does not believe in the national
defense act. adding that many citi-
zens of the United States do not be-
lieve in the Volstead act.
Wants to Promote Peace.
The program of the National Coun-
ell for Prevention of War, Mr.. Libby
explained, is to build up machinery
by which disputes might be settled
without war, to create a public good
VIII that will permit the machinery
to work, and provide a sort of inter-
national town meeting, for which he
advocated a league of nations with
reservations. The World Court with
the Hughes reservations, he said,
would be the. machinery for settling
disputes without war, while the pub
lie good will to permit that machin-
cry to function could be created in the
churches and schools as well as else
where.
Mr.. Sidwell told the committee that
Libby is not the man his enemies
would have the public to believe. He
said he had found no connection be-
tween the paciflst and Soviet govern
ment of Russia. "If Mr.. Libby Is act
ing within his rights as an American
citizen" he declared, "he should not
be subjected to further persecution"

CHICAGO, December 10. - The
Middle West today was added to the
domain Of the storm and cold that
for FIVE days have held the Northwest
and Rocky Mountain region in an
10y grip. Snow and sleet was gen.
orally forecast for the Great Lakes
region, the upper Mississippi Valley
and portions of the Southwest, while
temperatures, already lowering near
the zero mark, were expected to sink
still lower.
Death stalked in the wake of the
cold as it extended it's scope, wire
communication in many sections was
interrupted and trains were delayed.
Three Dead in Rockies.
Three died in the Rocky Mountain
region, one was reported in Oklahoma
and two were dead in Chicago from
causes attributable to the cold and
attendant ice and snow. Injuries
were numerous, due to falls on the
ice, in fires or accidents. Thousands
OF deer north of the Grand Canyon in
Arizona, which refused to be herded
to grener pastures on the south side
of the canyon, were reported perish
ing as vegetation failed.
The extreme cold in Montana, where
the mercury dropped as low as "a
below zero at Miles City, caused the
derailment of three pullmans of a
Northern Pacific train near Bear
Mouth, 35 miles from Missoula, due to
a broken rail. No injuries resulted,
reports said.
Wire communication in the Plains
States was most seriously affected.
More than 1000 telephone and tele-
graph poles were reported down In
Oklahoma Companies reported about
135 towns were cut off.
Jefferson City, Missourfs capital,

saws. gave him the impression OF a
great. rolling rock mesa with rare
sfunted cottonwood trees and cedars
This vegetation existed where sand had
been blown into hollows OF the rock
surface. The canyons which followed
one after another throughout the en-
tire Journey, were not visible until the
party came almost on top OF them:
Then it was necessary 10 ma iran

travel up or down for Is or ~ miles
before safe passage was found.

country
Hoped for Rains
The expedition was undertaken dur
ing October and November in hope
that the great fall rains which sweep
that part OF the United States would
have left pools OF water in hollows OF
the rock. This hope proved false.
The rocks were porous, and had drunk
in the water almost as soon as It gath
cred. Rare springs were found.
A number OF prehistoric Indian
houses were seen nestled IN canyon
walls the homes OF the last human in
habitants OF this region. Present-day
indians. Judd reports, have horror
OF the country. The whole area prob
ably is OF no economic importance,
but is a country OF rare beauty to any
one with an appreciation OF desert
scenery. The sandstone walls vary
from a yellow approaching white TO
blood red, and the shadows hanging
over the canyons range from hay blue
TO deep purple marking the rare vege-
tatiOn.

The largest OF the canyons was
fonnd to be about 18 miles long. 1t
was necessary to travel clear around
some OF them. When nearly at the end
OF the exploration Judd and his guide
