Back in 1868 Architect of the Capitol
Thomas U. Walter, in reporting near
completion of the dome of the Capitol,
predicted that the central east portion Of
the building eventually would be extended
to meet IAN architectural necessity" Re-
current efforts in Congress to carry out
this long-overdue project have failed. 1t
is to be hoped that success will climax
the current move to complete the con-
struction job that should have been done
nearly a century ago.
Mr.. Walters criticism of the unfln-
iShed state of the old edifice is as valid
today as it was in Civil War days. The
disturbed condition of the Nation in the
work on the Capitol then. But the reasons
for deferring the east-front extension for
20 many decades have been less convincing.
Usually the House has blocked the i'm
provement plans on grounds of economy
Or Discrimination to change the appear
sance of the building after it,had become SO
familiar to the public. It is especially
encouraging, therefore, that the present
move toward completing the task has
originated in the House.
This Congress has an excellent oppor-
tunity to make genuinely constructive
contribution to the improvement of its
aown home. It is fully warranted in the
undertaking not only because of the archi-
tectural consideration mentioned by Mr..
Walter in 1868 but because of the need for
more Office space at the Capitol. This is
q public works project that deserves wide
public support.

Applying a Brake

The Federal Reserve Boards order
Increasing margin requirements in Secur-
5ity purchases is conservatively sound
step at this time. The bull market Of
srecent months not only has carried stock
prices to new high levels, 1t has expanded
credit buying of securities to record peaks.
1T is the latter situation that warrants
Reserve Board concern, for an excessive
amount Of margin trading is a danger
signal of speculation. Prices that are
forced up in large part by this type of
buying are vulnerable to sharp breaks,
which in turn can be disturbing to the
entire economy.
Actually, the Reserve Board has been
demonstrating in this prosperous first
quarter of the year a careful exercise of
It's responsibility for credit controls. For
example, margin requirements were raised
from so to so per cent in January. The
latest increase, still considered a relatively
moderate one, is to 70 per cent. And,
within the past fortnight, the discount rate
on Federal Reserve loans to it's member
banks has been increased from W. to Ia
per cent. These are selective actions, cal
culated to apply mild braking to infia-
tionary forces without reversing the cur
rent high business pace. In the opinion
of Board Chairman William McChesney
Martin, expressed in an address here on
Saturday, the surface of American pros
perity has scarcely been scratched. Ex-
tremes of initiation or deflation, however,
can interrupt prosperity. The Reserve
Board is attempting to exert just enough
control over the credit structure to pre-
vent either of these extremes. It's vigi-
lance and its moderation are to be COM
mended.

Save Madison House

I have long been interested
in our historical homes and
their preservation.
Across from the northeast
corner of Lafayette Square is
the Dolly Madison House.
understand this home belongs
to the Government and some
day they plan to erect an
office building where it stands.
To me this would be a terrible
thing. Dolly Madison remains
the outstanding First Lady
that our history records. With
foresight and courage she
snatched George Washington's
picture from its frame and
saved some Of the cherished
silverware when the British
were almost stepping on her
dress as she escaped from the
burning White House.
There must be many relics
of her time and her family
that could be gathered to-
gether to make Madison
House into a valuable museum.
Surely, if the public become
aroused and the right people
were approached. the Govern
ment might relinquish this
property to one or several or
CARNATIONS who would further
this project. A small fee
could be charged for its up
keep.
Not many years ago the
Lee House in Arlington was
bare; now it is filled with beau
tiful and interesting things
and is seen by thousands of
tourists every year. Office
buildings can be erected in
other places Let's save Dolly

The two largest groups OF buSl-

approval to the sale of the City
of Phoenix municipally-owned bus
system.
They are the Phoenix Retail
Merchants Association and the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce,

city area.
But to their voice was also added
that of Harry E. Rimbey, president

Rimbey said, "As a bus driver, l.,
together with many of my coli
leagues in both the Metropolitan

service to the bus-riding public.
"It is the public, in the final
analysis, who will insure our fu-

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Gunnar
Nielsen, the bouncing Danish
printer, smashed the week-old
world indoor mile record tonight
by racing the distance in 4:03. 6
in the famed Wanamaker Mile in
the Millrose Games as Yves San
tee and Fred Dwyer finished in a
wrestling match.
A capacity crowd of 10000 in
Madison Square Garden went
wild as Nielsen hung on for 10
laps, then in the finale rushed
to the front and won by 10 yards.
Dwyer, who tried to pass San
tee on the inside of the track at
the last turn and was bumped
off, then set out in pursuit OF
Santee, who only last week set a
world record of 4.03.8. Three
yards from the tape Dwyer
lunged at Santee, grabbed the
Kansas University speedster
around the waist and almost
flung him toward the boxes on
the side.
Dwyer Disqualified.
Dwyer struggled across the
finish line second but he was
disqualified and Santee was
awarded the place. Bob Nc
Millen of the Armed Forces. who
came up fast, was right behind
the leaders.
Nielsen ran a smart, planned
race and 1t paid off for him. He
was determined to hang on to
Santee and outkick, Wes at the
end. Last week, when Santee
established his short-lived rec
ord at Boston. Nielsen stayed far
off the pace and couldn't make
up the difference
This time, Dick (Peter Rabbit)

planned, with Santee and Nielsen
trailing in that order.
Ollen held the lead for six
laps, and then Santee took over
Dwyer, meanwhile also was stay
ing close, and for the last five
laps Santee, Dwyer and Nielsen
were strung out about two yards
apart.
No Effect on Outcome.
Finally, on the last lap, Mel

London-Born Marine Makes
Golden Gloves Debut Tuesday
By Dick O'Brien

The Golden Gloves tourna-
ments are noted for the varied
personalities who take part In
them.
When the third round OF the
tournament, sponsored by The
Star, rolls around Tuesday night
at Turner's Arena. the fans will
get a chance to see a most in
teresting contestant in the SEN
lor 147-pound class. He is Lon
don-born Terry Downes, 18-
year-old Quantico Marine, whose
British accent is a constant
source of amusement to his bat
ting teammates.
Instead of employing typical
American sports slang, Terry
prefers the British style Of ad-
dressing his adversaries such as:
Shall we have a go at it. old
boy?"
A deep family tragedy was
responsible for personable Terry's
arrival in this country in 1850.
His sister Sylvia was travelling in
America as an aerial performer
with the Ringling Bros. and
Barnum g. Bailey Circus when
she met with an unfortunate
accident in Baltimore.
Sylvia was sitting in a bus
on her way from downtown Bal
timore to the CIRCUS grounds.
She had her right arm extended
from the bus window as 1t
rounded a turn. The bus moved
extremely close to a streetcar
coming in the opposite direc-
ton and it almost severed Miss
Downes' arm at the elbow.
Rushed to a Baltimore hos
pital, the British girl lay be-
tween life and death because
of the shock for several days.
Her arm finally was arnputated
and she recovered.
Meanwhile, her family in Lon
don received the news and her
mother made arrangements to
come to this country immedi-
ately to be at her daughters
bedside. Terry and his father
followed shortly thereafter.
Sylvia was a long time recoy-
ering from the accident and.
SmeanHhile. the Downes family
