Congress Gearing Up to Give
Biqqer TV and Radio Shows

is reconstruction Of the terraces
around three sides Of the Capitol
itself.
Years ago, the terraces on the
north, west and south sides of
the building began to leak water
into rooms below. Temporary
waterproof floors were put on,
but the public was excluded from
the promenade. Stone walls and
ballustrades began to bulge out
of alignment.
So Congress this year provided
1897 900 to restore the terraces.
When they are rebuilt, the
promenade will be available
again to the public.
One novel development is
under way. Two new incinera-
tors were ordered by Congress
for burning secret papers, such
as those from the Joint Com
mittee on Atomic Energy. One
of these already has been in
stalled in the Senate wing of the
Capitol. The second has arrived
and soon will be put in place in
the Senate Office Building.
Congress was told during hear
ings that there was danger some
of the classified information
might get into unauthorized
hands by going through the old
process to trash.
Frieze Completed.
The famous 300-foot frieze
high up around the Capitol Ro-
tunda has been completed. The
old sections have been cleaned
and restored so that now Wis
itors see a complete circle of
paintings of American history
from its early days up to the
birth of aviation.
Statues throughout the Capt.
tol, especially in Statuary Hall,
are receiving their annual bath.
Crystal chandeliers, seven of
which were transferred from the
White House to the Capitol, have
been taken apart, cleaned and
rehung.
Many Offices all over Capitol
Hill are being repainted.

More facilities to air Govern
ment problems and politics by
radio and television are being
Installed in the Capitol.
They are among many i'm
provements under way in
virtually all buildings on Con-
gressional Hill. Most of them
will be completed by the time
the legislators return for the
second session of the 83d Con-
gress In January.
Capitol Architect David Lynn
said the new equipment and
space for radio and television
were ordered by Congress to
meet the increased interest of the
public in national affairs.
The Senate radio-TV gallery
is undergoing major reconstruc-
ton. All the old partitions have
been torn out. New walls and
ceilings have been built, acous-
tically treated, to give more and
larger rooms for both radio and
televiSion programs.
No Commercials.
D. Harold McGrath, Superin-
tendent of the radio-TV gallery,
stressed that no commercial an
nouncements can be made in the
gallery, since 1t is the official
facility provided by the Govern
ment.
Congress appropriated $4,000
for the renovation program in
the gallery.
An entirely different kind of
radio and TV setup on Capitol
Hill, known as the joint Senate
and House recording facility,
is getting four new rooms in the
so-called west terrace on the
Senate side of the Capitol.
Robert j. Coar. co-ordinator
Of this facility, explained the
extra space will make it more
convenient for Senators to record
radio and television programs for
their constituents back home.
All services of his facility. Mr..
Coar explained, are paid for by
Congressman and certain ac-
credited correspondents. Dis
cussions, interviews and political
speeches are recorded by tape,
record or camera film, for use
wherever the legislators want it
distributed.
Paying for Itself.
Congress appropriated 1000
for reconstruction of the new
rooms. But Mr.. Coar says his en-
tire setup is paying for itself.
One of the biggest jobs under
way on Capitol Hill is the
changeover of electrical equip
ment for all buildings. 1t is part
of a SIG million major program.
authorized several years ago. for
buying electric power instead OF
making it at the Capitol power
plant.
The Government now buys
electricity from Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. for substantially
less than the cost of making it
at the Capitol power plant. But
In making the changeover from
direct current to alternating
current through all buildings
served on the Hill. elaborate
work still is under way in most
of the structures.
None of the work is spec
tacular. Nor is it noticeable to
the public, except for some big
holes being made near public
buildings for the installation of
transformer vaults.
The big tunnel from the
Capitol power plant through
Southeast and Northeast Wash
ington to the Senate Office
Building has been completed. 1t

water for air-conditioning build
ings. It costs more to cool Hill
buildings in summer than heat

Boys Kidnap-Ki||ers
Appear Tomorrow
In Advisory Trial
BY the Assoeiofed Press

KANSAS CITY, Nov. IA. -
Just seven weeks to the day they
kidnapped and killed Bobby
Greenlease his abductors will ap-
pear before jury which will de-
eide whether they will get death
for their crime.
It was on Monday September
%. that Carl Austin Hall and
Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady took
the 6-year-old boy from his pri-
vate school by a ruse. killed him
and buried his body in a grave
they had prepared earlier in st.
Joseph, Mo. Then they began
negotiations for ransom and COL
lected 100000.
Next Monday at 10 am. (CST)
they will be brought into United
States District Court, the same
courtroom where they pleaded
guilty to the kidnapping.
Case Has Precedent.
1t will be an advisory trial. It's
sole purpose will be to present
the case so that the jury can
decide whether to recommend
death.
AS a precedent, Government
and defense attorneys have a
parallel case in John Henry
Seadlund, the Minnesota lum-
berjack who kidnapped and
killed Charles S. Ross of Chicago
in 1887.
Seadlund pleaded guilty, but
under the Lindbergh Law, a life
sentence was the maximum pen
atty the judge could give. A jury
heard the evidence and then
recommended the death penalty.
Next weeks proceedings will
take the usual trial procedure.
The Government, however, won't
call on all of the 200 witnesses
it could have used had the de-
PENDANTS not pleaded guilty.
Parents to Be Called.
Edward L. Scheuf1er, United
States District Attorney. has not
disclosed how many witnesses
the Government has summoned.
but he said he and his staff
would call "as many persons as
necessary to have a successful
trial"
Among them will be Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert c. Greenlease, par
ents of the victim; a nun from
the Notre Dame de Sion Insti-
tute. a private school from which
the boy was lured: the woman
who sold Hall the spade with
which he dug the grave for the
victim at st. Joseph, and the
florist who sold him potted
plants to disguise the grave as
a flower garden.
Whether H all, the burly
wastrel son of a respected Kansas
lawyer. and Mrs. Heady, once
respectable Missouri housewife,
will take the stand is not known.
1T depends on what the United
States District Attorney does in
the caSe," said Roy K. Dietrich,
an attorney appointed by the
court to defend Hall. 1--WE may
call the defendant and we may
not"
Attorneys From Home Town.
Each also will be represented
by attorneys from their former
homes. Hall by Marshall E. Hoag,

Also expected to be introduced
are the confessions of the pair.

If the jury recommends the
death penalty, Judge Albert L.
Reeves may impose the sentence

the two win be executed in the

City. Should Mrs. Heady get the
extreme penalty she will be the
