From a maze OF scaffolding,

the new House. Chamber is final
ly beginning to assume recogniz-
able shape. Since last July, when.
we moved our sessions to the
Ways and Means Committee
room, the south end of the Capt.
tol building has been the scene of
busy workmen scurrying about
hammering, saving, and painting.
= Since before the war, the roof
of the House Chamber has been
held up by temporary steel pill

and much needed renovation was
at last undertaken And just re-

The new white ceiling provides
