.CAP|TOLEXTENS|ON
VERDICT THIS WEEK
Senate Committee Also May
Start Hearings on Art
Gallery Acceptance.

The Senate Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee probably will rem
der a verdict before the end Of this
week on the proposed extension Of the
east front Of the Capitol, and then
start hearings on the bill for accept
ance by the Government Of the Mel
Ion art collection.
Sponsored by Senator Connally of
Texas, committee chairman, the pro-
posed completion of the Capitol was
backed at recent hearings by Archi-
tect Of the Capitol Lynn. Chairman
Charles Moore of the Fine Arts Com
mission and a number of other archi-
tects. There was another group OF
witnesses, however, including several
architects, opposing the plan.
The proposal is to bring the front Of
the old original section Of the build
ing forward to remove the appearance
of the dome overhanging the present
east front. The sandstone would be
refaced with marble to match the
wings, and in one plan an additional
corridor Of Office space would be pro-
vided for the House and Senate.
Opponents of the bill contend the
historic appearance Of the original
section should be left undisturbed
and that the loss in historic value
would outweigh the advantages Sup
porters of the bill have emphasized
that when the wings and present dome
were added more than 10 years ago
it was intended that at some time
the east front of the original section
should be extended. The Senate passed
the extension bill in the last Con-
gress, but it died in the House.
The Mellon art bill is the proposed
enabling act which Congress must ap-
prove to clear the way for carrying
out the offer former Secretary Of the
Treasury Andrew w. Mellon made to
President Roosevelt in December to
give the Nation his valuable art COL
lection. His offer included the build
ing Of a $4,000, 900 National Gallery
of Art in Washington. The bill may
be taken up in the Senate committee
Thursday or Friday, the exact date to
be announced later.
