CAPITOL CHANGE
HEARINGS TO END
Chairman ConnaIIy Says
Committee Hopes to Con-
cIude on Thursday.

After hearing further testimony for
and against the proposed extension OF
the east front Of the Capitol, Chair
man Connally Of the Senate Public
Buildings and Grounds COMMITTEES an
nounced today the committee would
try to conclude the hearings at 1890
am. Thursday.
Those who appeared In support Of
the bill today were Edgerton Swartout
of New York, former member of the
Fine Arts Commission; Nathan Wyeth,
municipal architect of the District;
Harry F. Cunningham, a local archi-
tect, and H. p. Caemmerer, secretary
Of the Fine Arts Commission.
Opposition to remodeling and ex-
tending the east front of the old orig
inal section of the building was led by
Leicester B. Holland, architect, whose
views were shared by E. w. Dom, jr.,
also an architect. DR.. T. S. Palmer,
who appeared as a citizen and tax
payer, made a plea for preservation Of
the historic old original section of the
structure.
Three reasons have been advanced
for many years by supporters of the
measure, namely: That there is an
architectural defect, which gives the
dome the appearance of overhanging
the portico on the east front; that
the sandstone Of the old central Sec
tion should be refaced with marble
to match the wings, and, third, that
the extension would give the House
and Senate additional Office space.
Holland contended that in con-
sidering a project of this kind, possi-
ble losses should be considered as
carefully as possible gains, and that
in his opinion the losses from chang
ing the east front would outweigh
possible gains. These losses, he said.
would be both aesthetic and historic
cal.
Holland is chairman of the Com
mittee on Preservation of Historical
Buildings Of the American Institute
of Architects. In response to ques-
tions by Chairman Connally, how
ever, he said the institute has not
taken action on the proposed extern
sion Of the Capitol.
Swartout testified that even If the
eastern portico did support the dome.
the whole central feature of the orig
inal section of the building is not
big enough to match the wings, which
were built later.
Wyeth declared that If the old,
original portion Of the building still
stood alone, he would hesitate to sug-
gest its alteration, because it was
beautiful composition" but with the
wings added and other changes sub
sequently made, the proposed adjust
ment of the east front Is desirable.

Wife Left Messages on Wall,
DiuOrce Plaintiff Tells Court

onciled to the changed conditions and
continually bounded him for money
which he did not have" the suit
stated.
As a result there was a rift be-
tween them, he set forth, and now the
wife prefers Ito live alone, locked in
her own room, when at home, and the
plaintiff seldom sees her, although
she writes notes and leaves messages
written on the walls of the bath room
and elsewhere about the apartment"
the suit continued.
Last Fall, the court was informed,
Evans had a new overcoat and "as he
was leaving in the morning, defendant
came out Of her room and smeared
him with molasses."
He asked the court to enjoin his
wife from nnolesting him.

"For the inclosed stone get what
money you can and give to the Red

and scrawled across this second en-
velope was the request:

stone and give it to the Red Cross"

that of an elderly person. The sta
tionery was Of good quality.

D. c. GAMING BILL
TO Be CONSIDERED
Measure on Qualifications of
Lawyers Also Due for
Early Senate Action.

The bill to strengthen the gambling
laws of the District and the measure
to define the qualifications of lawyers
here, both of which were held up
temporarily in the Senate yesterday.
will be called up again within few
days, Chairman King of the District
Committee said today. Prospects are
bright for approval Of both measures
at that time.
The gambling measure, which Is
aimed primarily at the numbers game,
passed early yesterday. but had to be
reconsidered short while later be-
cause it went through while the Sem
ate was under an apparent misappre-
hension that 1t was acting on 8 diff
ferent bill for general recodiflcation
of the entire District code.
Titles Of Bills Similar.
The misunderstanding is believed to
have resulted from the similarity in
the titles of the two bills. The dis
cussion which preceded passage Of the
gambling bill related to the recodif1ca-
tion measure, which is still in COM
mittee, rather than to the gambling
restrictions, to which the pending
measure was confined.
When the misapprehension was dis
covered it was decided to reconsider
the bills passage and take it up again
the next time the calendar Is called.
All indications are the Senate will
approve the gambling bill and send
it to the House the next time it comes
up. A similar measure was passed
in the Senate two years
ago, in the early days Of the Seventy
fourth Congress, but failed of action in
the House. Since this is new Con-
gress, it had to be reintroduced in the
Senate this year.
Early Consideration Likely.
Meanwhile, Senator King said the
District Committee will give early
consideration to the other bill for a
general recodification Of District laws.
The bill to define the qualifications
of general practitioners of law was
postponed yesterday at the request
Of Senator Gibson, Republican, of
Vermont, who said he thought it
should be given careful consideration.
Later Senator King said he expected
the bill to pass the next time it Is
considered.

Last Employe of N. r. 4. Due
To Finish Report This Month
Job to End With Final
Word in History
of Bureau.

Last Of an army of $500 employees
of the National Recovery Admins
tration. Miss Diana Rogovin, now is
completing the final report of one of
the great experiments in govern
mental history, with the knowledge
that the writing Of the last word will
bring to a termination both her own
job and the N. r. A. This. she esti-
mates, will be about the end Of this
month.
What will she do after she receives
the last N. r. A. pay check in history,
she does not know.
''I have been so busy on the report
have not had time to give very
much thought to what is going to
happen afterward." she said. II al
ways have made policy of doing one
job at a time, and I'm not going to
worry about another Job until this
one Is finished"
Why she was chosen to be the last
survivor of the once powerful N r. A.
is something Miss Rogovin often puz-
zles over. She has watched the great
staff dwindle about her until. of all
the organization. which once num-
bered among its personnel, some Of the
country's most noted business leaders,
she alone was left.
Keen eyed, soft spoken and girl
ihly youthful despite her prema-
turely gray hair, Miss Rogovin now
occupies a desk in the office of Clyde
r. Chambers, chief of the division Of
industrial economics. Commerce De-
partment, while finishing the report
which will put period to the history
her friends, began turning gray when
she was a schoolgirl-N. R. A. did
not do that to her.
Joined Staff In 1888.
OF herself Miss Rogovin speaks very
little if at all. She joined the N. r.
A. staff in September. 1888, little
more than two months after organ
ization of the administration began
under the leadership of Gen. Hugh
r. Johnson.
She is native Of Jersey City, Miss
Rogovin stated, when pressed for per-
sonal history. There she received her
primary education and went through
high school. She went to Hunter
College, New York, and later took a
playground teachers course at Ashe-
vile, N. c. She went back to New
York to take q private course in
languages and then went into the
business world, first as an account
ant and bookkeeper. For six years
she was secretary to theatrical book
ing agency in New York.
Returning to Asheville, Miss Ro-
gown worked as an Office manager
and, in the Summer, as a playground
teacher.
She came from North Carolina to
Washington to enter the N. r. A.,
first as secretary and assistant to
H. o. King, deputy administrator and
later division administrator. Miss Ro-
gown assisted in drafting of the N.
r. A. code for the copper industry.
Secretary to Hartman.
So successful was she in this i'm
portant task that she was chosen to
become secretary to W. Averell Har-
riman, N. r. A. administrative officer.
When the Division Of Review Of the
N. r. A. was created in June, 1885,
Miss Rogovin went to the new divi-
sion as assistant to the director, DR..
Leon c. Marshall, and also as liaison
officer between DR.. Marshall and the
ccnsultant staff.
BY this time the Supreme Court had
ruled against the recovery act, and

Complete arrangements were be-

Harlow'S relatives.
Miss Harlow, born Harlcan Car
pentcr in Kansas City on March
3, 1911, rode the Orbit of film
fame through three marriages
and one spectacular death my

This was the strange Suicide Of
her second husband, Paul Bern,

Harlow.
The tragic end of this romance

a strange personality which Holly
wood never quite solved.
