chairman Of the Senate COMMITTEE
on Public Buildings and Grounds
Always 1t had been intended to dt
the work when the Senate was moi
in session. But Senator Bridges ex-
planned the Senate has conducted
such long sessions there has not
been enough time to start the work
Mr.. Lynn explained his ONCE plans
to advertise for bids as soon as the
funds are made available. If plans
can be carried out as now projected,
the entire program should be
finished late in 1850, he said.
A similar program for reconstruc-
ton Of the House, chamber, 1t was
learned, has been postponed for
about year.

Hearing Reveals Plans
To Complete New Roof
For Senate in ; Years

/ The Senate Chamber will get a
new roof and lose the ugly steel
beams now marring the historic
place. under a new three-year re-
construction program.
Chairman Bridges Of the Senate
Appropriations Committee disclosed
the new time schedule on the long
pending project last night when he
drew testimony from architects in
charge, during a subcommittee
hearing.
| With funds to be inserted in the
pending second deficiency bill, it is
! planned to let contract sometime
this summer or fall so the job can
be started this year.
David Lynn, Architect Of the
Capitol, formally filed request for
100000 to become available next
month. It would be added to $780,
900 already appropriated for the
project. Authority for letting a
contract to one firm for the whole
remodeling project also was re-
quested.
/ Would "Stockpile" Material.
Mr.. Lynn explained that when the
big contract is awarded, the first
phase will be for fabrication Of
steel and other materials which can
be completed and "stockpiled" in
Washington on or before July l,
l949. This will constitute the first
years progress.
In the summer of 1949, during
the congressional recess, it is plan
ned to rush the big job of tearing
of the old roof which was so
dangerous it had to be supported
by unsightly steel beams inside the
chamber. A temporary roof will be
put up to keep out the rain and the
new one installed, supported from
above by conventional steel trusses.
A new air-conditioning unit will
be installed between the ceiling and
roof.
; Also during the 1s49 summer, walls
will be renovated down to the gal
leries.
The third years program will in
clude remodeling the galleries them
selves and the walls down to the
floor. The design, agreed to long
ago. has been approved. 1t would
preserve the historic atmosphere of
! the famous old chamber, with i'm

provements in the acoustics and
lighting. There win be no loud
speaker system, however, under
present plans.
To Replace Glass Ceiling.
Details Of the renovation on this
point were explained by the two
architectural consultants who de-
signed the project. They are John
F. Harbeson of Philadelphia and
Francis P. Sullivan Of this city.
The new ceiling and its treatment,
Mr.. Harbeson said. will make a
complete change in the acoustical
qualities of the room"
The old glass ceiling will be re-
placed with a steel dome, covered
with acoustical material, and per-
forated for cool air to enter the
chamber, he said.
When Senator Russell, Democrat.
of Georgia commented that he would
rather hate to see the old glass
ceiling removed" Mr.. Harbeson ex-
planned the glass is one of the causes
Of the poor acoustics.
Glass reflects the sound" he
testified" 1t will be replaced with
acoustical material, so that when the
sound goes up from the floor it will
not reverberate as it does now"
At that Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan quipped: But
it will be terrible for some Senators
If they don't hear their voices
coming back to them!'

Some time was spent in discus
sing the need for Alcorn serving
as a source for giving instruction to
all negro agricultural workers in
the state. DR.. Pipes expressed the
idea that he wanted the agricul-
tural leaders in the state to look
to Alcorn for an inservice train
ing program.
President Pipes was to commun-
icate with Dean WEIGH in trying to
secure General Education Board
funds to finance the project.

State Deans

A&HE Divisions

The Dean of the School of Agri-
culture at Mississippi State College.
Professor E. B. Colmer, and the
Head of the Home Economics School
at State College Mississippi, Miss
Mary E. Weathersby, both made
thorough inspections of Alcorn Col
lege recently and commended Pre-
sident w. H. Pipes and his staff for
the work being done in Agriculture
and in Home Economics.
Dean Colmer stated. in his report:
"A number of students selected at
random from the freshman through
senior year were called in for in
dividual conferences. These were
followed by individual conferences
with the dean of the college and
heads of major service divisions, to
include the. finance officer registrar.
librarian, and head of the guidance
and placement department. Group
conferences were held with the
teaching staff of the agricultural
school as a group, and general
assembly of the teaching staff of
the College as a whole. The con-
Guiding conference for this study
was in the form of a joint meeting
with DR.. W. H. Pipes. President of
the College, and Professor E. S.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1948-05-01

Burke, Director of the Division of
Agriculture, at which time a gen.
eral summary of the findings were
discussed with the President.
This final conference with Presi-
dent Pipes took the form of a free
and open discussion Of the problems
that had come out of several days
of study and investigation in which
staff members and students had
been given the opportunity to ex-
press themselves in confidence and
without reservation through private
interviews. The most obvious COM
ment or criticisms that had come
out of the entire study was feel
ing that insufficient funds were
available to provide, in most cases,
even the barest necessities for eff
ficient classroom and laboratory in
struction. This thought was uni
formly expressed and almost with
out exception by every member Of
the teaching staff and student body
interviewed. It was equally obvious
an Impressive that, almost with
out a single exception, students in
terviewed were very complimentary
of their teachers to give them the
type of instruction they thought
they needed.
"On the whole, operations on the

ture are progressing in very sat-
isfactory manner Members of the

ing. Both Of these men are highly
practical in their respective fields
and are valuable assets to the agri-
cultural program at Alcorn A. &
M. College
Miss Weathersby pointed out in
her report: Since the purpose OF
| the visit was to determine what
! should be offered to train Home
Demonstration agents, most of the
time was spent in trying to discover
needs in regard to curriculum,
equipment and personnel. Conferen-
ces were held with members of the
Home Economics staff. the Dean of
the School, the Registrar, the Head
of the Division of Agriculture and
the President of the College. AS far
| as possible the recommendations
made by the Home Economics com
mittee were followed through in
determining improvements to be
made.

range program for agriculture. APP
proxifnately one hundred acres in
cover crops in the form of oats and
clover cover the lands that have
normally been bare and in d state
of accelerated erosion at this season
of the year. Most of this area has
also received some soil improve
ment treatment within the past year
in the form of basic Stag or phos-
phate The transfeS from row
crop system of farming to a broad
cast system, with livestock as a
major enterprise, is well under way.
THE beef cattle and dairy pro-
jects have made material increases
in the number Of animal units, and
a very notable gain in the quality
Of animals in both herds. Some pro-
gress has been made toward inn
provement of the swine project The
poultry flock has increased in num-
bers as well as quality and large
additional housing unit for poultry
has been completed. A very prac-
teal and serviceable lounging barn
for dairy cattle has been built. This
was Must on the list of recon-
mendations because of recent adj
dltions to the herd Of higher quality
dairy animals. Among other addi-
tons to the herd within the past
year was ten well-bred Jersey heif-
ers from our own college herd at
Mississippi State College There is
still an urgent need for increasing
the volume of milk produced by
the college herd and this should be
accomplished by further culling
of some animals now in the herd
and the addition of few more

foundation stock.

He emphasized that his speech
was not an expression of an official
American position.
Mr.. Dulles said this is a platform
of American hopes for Europe:
I'VE want Europe to have so much
political strength that neither the
United States nor any other power
whatsoever will ever be able to use
Europe for purposes alien to the
free development of Europe itself.
1--WE want Europe to have such
economic strength that it will be
prosperous in its own right and not
be dependent on economic grants
from others.
1--WE want Europe to be sufficiently
unified so that, practically, we can
work with it.
1--WE want Europe that has so
much moral and intellectual dy-
namism that, in the tradition of the
Magma Charta and the Declaration
of the Rights of Man, 1t will con-
tinue to arouse men everywhere to
strike off the shackles that curtail
their self-development.
1--WE want Europe capable of in
venting a new industrial revolution
that will continue to multiply the
productivity of human labor.
1--WE want Europe which will
again produce great literature, music
and art. and such religious move
ments as have, in the past, inspired
and enriched the world"

In a prepared speech to the
American Club of Paris, Mr.. Dulles
denounced as "ignoble" any charge
that the United States wants to
use Europe merely as base for
achieving world mastery. He said
it was absurd for some to claim
that the United States wants to
dump its surplus goods in Europe.
Mr.. Dulles warned that if West
ern Europe chooses to remain feeble
and disunited, its separate pieces
may be drawn, one at time, into
the orbit of the East"
Americans will not tie their fate
Indefinitely to a Western Europe
that insists on disunity, he said.
