On the first of this month the
Senate and House Chambers became
the scenes for hammering, saving
and rebuilding as the long-delayed
renovation Of those two rooms be
gan. We in the House are now
meeting in the Ways and Means
Committee room of the New House
Office Building. That means that
more than four hundred chairs have
been placed in a space planned for
two hundred. Facilities for news
papermen are poor and only linn
tied number can b accommodate
There is no room for visitors at all.
The Senators are meeting in the
room which housed the Senate until
1859 and later served as the Su-
preme Court chamber until recent
years when the Court moved into
its own new building across from
the Library of Congress.
The old Eenate Chamber - now
occupied by the Senators - is rel

bership of the Senate, therefore,
totaled only "a. This room was burn
. eded by the British in 1914 when
English troops burned much OF
Washington. 1t was in this same
chamber that the Monroe Doctrine
was first proclaimed; it was here
that Daniel Webster raised his IA

and forever. one inseparable. Here,
too, the bodies of Calhoun and Clay
once lay in state. Then, amid this
atmosphere stepped in American ira
ditions, the highest tribunal OF our
country handed down momentous
decisions for rs years
Now the Senate is debating new
and equally historic treaty - the
Atlantic Pact It somehow seems
fitting that consideration Of this
important and far reaching measure
should take place in the surround

position of prominence.

 Atomic
 Energy
Proposal Made Regarding Final Authority in
 World Peace Interest

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 7-lR- France and Canada proposed today that all countries join in mutual agreement to surrender to an in ternational agency the final author
 ty over atomic energy in the in terest of world peace.
 The new French-C Canadian pro- posal, which has the backing of the United States and Britain, was submitted to the 59-nation special political committee of the United Nations Assembly as that body be- gan a general atomic debate.
 Under the French-Canadian plan, the JUN. would recommend that all nations "renounce the individual exercise of such rights of sover- eighty in the control of atomic energy as are incompatible with the promotion of world security and peace"
 The French Canadian proposal was circulated after authoritative quarters had disclosed details of a stop-gap proposal by Carlos P. Romula, Assembly President, under which all countries would pledge themselves not to use the A-bomb.
