 The garage is equipped with automatic doors which open as the senator's limousine approaches. Fiveemployes, carried on the de- partment payroll, are in attend ance. One of them said he didn't know why he was on the interior department payroll. He said all five of them had been formerly paid by the senate but were trans- ferred to the interior department July l.: This was when the cur rent economy act became effec- tive.
 Gasoline pumps have been in- stalled in the garage but they arc not yet in use. Only government cars would be furnished gas and oil, 1t was said. Battery charging equipment, tire repairing tools and car washing apparatus have been assembled. Strictly speaking, no service is supposed to go with the free parking, but attendants said that they probably would take care of flat tires, run down batteries and washing jobs for senators as g personal service.
 Most senators have chauffeur cars. A few owner-driven models were parked there while the sen- ate held it's brief session Friday Sandwiched among several large cars was one Ford coupe. It occu- pied the space labelled for Senator George Norris, republican, Ne. braska.
 As the visitor left the garage and emerged on the street at tho corner opposite the senate office building, he saw small woman in black standing on the opposite corner waiting for a street car. II was Mrs Hattie Caraway. of Ar kansas. the only woman senator.
