Workmen today are pounding

ate and House chambers before
the newly elected 82d Congress
arrives on January 3.
The original plan to finish the
S. million project (Which included
roofs on both wings of the Cap

however, on meeting the deadline
in the mind of David Lynn, archi-
tect of the Capitol. 1T will be
ready" he declared with finality
yesterday.
For Mr.. Lynn, the project which
had its origin in 1888. is one of
the top achievements and most
difficult undertakings in his 27-
year tenure as architect. And that
tenure has seen the construction
of the new House Office building
and the Supreme Court building,
among others.
Delays Caused by War.
The current work represents an
achievement over terrific obstacles
- delays caused by war and
threats of war. shortages of ma
terials and skilled labor and soar
ing prices and wages.
When the new Congress is
ready to organize it will find halls
of quiet, simple beauty and
dignity" Mr.. Lynn said.
The designs were studied from
classic architecture, as had been
done by early Federal architects,
and were fitted to modern light

UpheovoI in Prince Georges
New G. 0. P. County Board Due
To Revomp Police Department

The big target in police reor-
ganization is the chief, Maj. Ralph
w. Brown. He has been under
almost constant attack by the Re-
publicans.
During the campaign William
r. Hughes. one of the successful
G. o. P. candidates for the Mary
land House of Delegates, made
frequent charges that big scale
gambling has been permitted in
Prince Georges.
Mr.. Hughes, who polled more
votes than any other legislative
candidate, wants immediate &C
ton. In fact, he has investigated
the possibility of getting Chief
Brown out of Office even before
the Republican commissioners as
sumo their duties December 5.
One of the more extreme rumors
now going the rounds is that the
new commissioners intend to sus.
pend the entire police department
According to this report, the Mary.
land State police would be asked
to lend a hand temporarily while
the reorganization is completed.
But Mr.. Hughes branded this
report as absurd.

g. 0. P. Eection Gains
May Be Good Thing
For U. s, Almond Says
BY the Associoted Press

ROANOKE, Va. Nov. 17.-At-
torney General ]. Lindsay Almond
says it may be political heresy,"
but he believes the results of last
weeks congressional elections are
a good thing for this country.
Republicans narrowly missed
gaining control of Congress in the
election. Mr.. Almond is a life
long Democrat.
Still, Mr.. Almond told the Vir-
ginia Highway Builders Associa-
ton, the election results may call
halt to Truman administration
policies which are leading us
down the road to socialism"
The Federal Government is
guilty of appalling and devastat-
ing waste" Mr.. Almond said.
The Attorney General recalled
that President Truman had lost
some of his "stanchest advisers
as a result of the election. Then
he commented:
II wish he had lost few more" "
Mr.. Almond told the highway
builders that taxation in Virginia
'long ago" reached the saturation
point. Industry must be invited
to the State with a tax structure
which creates "a healthy atmos-
phere" for business, he added.
With elaboration. Mr.. Almond
declared that the time has ar
rived in Virginia "for the tax
burden to be spread wider among
the people"
He called for a study looking
toward the possibility of giving
Virginia contractors preferential.
treatment in competition with
out-of- State contractors in bid
ding for construction contracts

In the very center are ornamen-
tai rosettes of carved, shatter-
proof glass which may be illu-
minated from above to give direct
light. Most of the light for the
floor comes from outlets around
the perimeter of the cove, however.
Old Seals Saved.
The House ceiling has one other
attraction-the official seals of the
States and territories. which line
the sides of the central rectangle
They are sculptured and painted
in official colors. The original seals
were painted on glass in the old
skylight in the 1850s. They were
cut out and saved and an au-
thorized State official may request
his States seal by writing to Mr.
| Lynn.

a design of liberty bell and stars,

House and the same thing in red

Acoustically treated material is
placed behind the fabric.
There are marble plaques, por-
trait reliefs of the great lawgivers
of history, above % of the "a doors

sculptors in the country did these

unsettled industrial conditions,
the remodeling be postponed un-
til the summer of 1947.
But when only one firm bid
was obtained in December, 1916,
it became apparent that alb
normal conditions of the building
industry precluded any accurate
cost estimate or scheduling of
completion time. So. in July
1947. the work once again was put
off. And by that time the best
estimate of cost for the entire
project had risen to $50 million.
Senate Approved in '48.
Then. in June, 1948. the Senate
authorized the architect. under
the special Senate committee. to
proceed on cost-plus a fixed-fee
basis and approved an estimate of
$2,267, 900. 1t added 100000 for
emergency.
The House followed in Febru-
ary of last year. approving an
estimated cost of $2,567 900 for
its share, with an extra 100000
for emergency. The totals could
bring the final cost to $5,o34, 900
At that time it was decided tc
tackle the work in the two six
month periods. when Congress
normally was recessed.
When the Korean war broke in
June. there was serious considera-
ton given to postponing the Sec
ond phase of the work. But wher
the terrific added cost was con.
sidered (of storing fabricated
parts, rehandling same, insurance
losses due to deterioration, pos.
sible wage increases, etc.. it wa.
decided to go ahead.

is approaching, thoughts in tn,

project involves refurbishing from
the gallery level to the chamber
floor. In general, the House is
done in blue and tan tones and
the Senate in red and tan.
In the House, as in the Senate,
the old lower walls Of cast iron
wainscot, pilasters and plaster
panels have been replaced by
walnut wood paneling, separated
by marble pilasters, with marble
caps and bases.
A new Speakers rostrum of
walnut, with marble base, Is
being installed. An American
flag will continue to be hung be-
hind the Speakers chair, framed
in a columned motif. A simple
marble sculptural composition
containing a clock will be placed
over the rostrum. The oil paint
ings of Washington by Vanderlyn
and Lafayette by AIRY Scheffer
will be placed on the same wall
they always have occupied.
Seating Increased.
The number of floor aisles in
the House chamber has been re-
duced from seven to five, allowing
an increase in seats from 444 TO
456. Unlike the Senate, which
will keep its old seats. the House
is getting new chairs of walnut
and leather.
Construction of the gallery
floors in both chambers is of steel
and concrete, covered with rubber
Tile. New noiseless seats are being
installed. The fabric for the ones
in the House gallery features the
six-pointed star of the House seal
and for the Senate the five-pointed
star of the Senate seal.
There will be new desks and

leries.

Meeting Discusses
REMEMBERING Plan
For Takoma Park

Nearly every one in Takoma
Park would have new addresses if
plans for REMEMBERING houses and
remaining streets are approved.
Speaking at public hearing on
the proposal last night in the
Takoma Junior High School, Blair
Lee III said 80 per cent of the
residences would be affected.
Mr.. Lee is vice chairman of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, which
has proposed the plan so that Ia
koma Park street numbers and
names will correspond with those
of adjacent communities.
The so-called grid system" OF
numbering already is used in Sill
yer Spring and Bethesda, and
makes it easier to find homes in
those communities, said Mr.. Lee
Streets for which the commits
sion has recommended new names
include: Central avenue: Maple
avenue at Erie and Albemarle in
tersection; a section of Chicago
avenue around Montg gom er y
Junior College; Philadelphia ave-
nue.; Ash avenue; Mississippi ave-
nue., and sections of Ritchie and
Ridge avenues.
Roy c. Potts, secretary of the
Takoma Chamber of Commerce,
presented report prepared by a
special committee of his organ
ization which had different
recommendations.
Mr.. Lee said the commission
wanted to know how the city
council of Takoma Park feels
about the plan before any action
is taken.
