ICapitol from almost every point of
the city.
After having seen the Capitol in
the day time, and also the beauti-
ful lighted dome with its statue of
freedom at night, we started on a
tour of the interior Of the building.
Upon entering, we were at once
under the huge dome which has a
room below of 81 feet in diameter.
We then proceeded to the south
wing where we were received by
DIR Delaware representative, Mr..
william Allen, who welcomed us
to the Capitol and gave US permits
sion to 60 into the House of Repre-
sentatiyes and listen to the dis
cussion.
Having seen the House, we went
back to the center building and Sc
cured a guide who at once drew
our attention to the painting of
our first president in the top Of the
dome.
We then went to the north wing
where we saw the original dome of
the Capitol. After viewing the
many different kinds of marble
used in the building, also some tile
that had been in use about 20
years, and some famous paintings
and statues, we saw the old Su-
preme Court room, which was used
by the Supreme Court until 1886,
when they moved into the new
Hall Of Justice, which had been
constructed especially for their
convenience.
Although the Senate was not il
session while we were visiting the
Capitol, we were allowed to view
the Senate chamber and see how
the Senators of the different po-
litical parties were seated. We also
looked in upon the presidents room
which still has the furniture that
was selected by Lincoln, as he was
the first president to use the room.
Having seen both wings, we went
back to the central part of the
building where we had explained to
us the paintings hanging on the
wall, and also the fresco of the
progress of American history, di-
rectly below the dome. AS yet
this fresco is incomplete, but as
soon as a persons is found with
enough ability and skill to finish
the job as beautifully as it has
been started, it will be completed.
There has been placed in this
room a metal in the floor which is
to indicate the exact center of the
District of Columbia, and also an
other metal which indicates the
place where you can stand and
hear from other parts Of the 70
tunda.
After having viewed the Capitol
with much interest, and being
grateful to our excellent guide, we
departed from the building to con-
tinue the remainder of our sight
seeing trip around Washington.

threw the knife at the boy with re-

gents, swiftly hurdling crumbling gov
ernment defenses, today battered into
the outskirts Of ancient Castellon de
Ia Plana, one Of the richest ports in

With Albocacer, ~ miles north Of
Castellon, abandoned by retreating
government troops, the city became the
outpost Of defenses for Valencia, 20
miles farther southwest.
Grao de Castellon, the city's port,
was bombed by insurgent planes back
ing the besieging land forces. F1iers
reported government troops there were
loading war supplies aboard small
coastal ships In an effort to move them
south before they can fall into insur-
gent hands.
The railroad between Castellon and
Valencia, insurgent dispatches said,
was cut by air bombardment near
Mules. about 10 miles south Of Cas-
tellon.
Scores Of lesser towns fell before
the insurgent sweep which, in less
than three days, doubled the area Of

Frances wedge between Catalonia and
Central Spain. Franco now holds
about 10 miles Of Mediterranean sea-
board from the Ebro River Delta south

ulation and fighting swirled In the
orange groves on its plain-IA Plana,
from which Castellon takes its name
