COMPROMISE VICTORY

Mrs. Smith dug deeper into the case. ,and reported back that the color of Senator Greens offices had nothing to do with his name. He had inherited the offices, already painted green, from ex-Senator Da- yid Reed of Pennsylvania.
 But it would cost too much money to repair your offices" Hay den protested gently We would have to put on two coats"
 "Ill pay for the paint, offered Mrs. Smith
 Its not only that argued the Rules chairman. The painters charge, too, you know"
 I'll pay for the painters, too, Mrs. Smith chirped. m even bring in my own painters if you prefer.
 The harassed Senator from Ariz- ona almost wept into the phone If we do that he moaned, then everybody else will want to do the same"
 Worried over turning down a lady, Senator Hayden called back three times to explain his reasons for refusing her. Finally she con- pi omised by having her private office painted green-upon the in- sistance of her staff, who agreed to leave their rooms dull cream.
 Note: Mrs. Smith has kept out of it, but there is also backstage debate over whether she is entitled to free beauty -parlor service-since male Senators get free haircuts. HELPING REAL ESTATE LOBBY
