BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE
star star writer


An order directing an imme-
date start on the extension Of
the east front Of the Capitol
was issued today.
The directive. on behalf Of a
House-Senate commission, was
signed by Senate Minority
Leader Knowland and House
Speaker Rayburn. In the wake
of q decisive Senate rejection
Of moves 10 kill the project.
In q long-awaited showdown
vote on the Senate floor, q bill
10 hold up the extension was
defeated last night BY Q vote
Of ~ to -.
The vote was entirely nom
partisan, with leaders ON both
sides Of the Senate aisle urging
the extension. Twenty three
Democrats joined "a Republic
cans in voting for the project
to so ahead, while Is Demo-
Gratis and IL Republicans voted
for the bill to halt 1t.
Ends S-Year Controversy
The action ended q bitter
controversy which has ragged
for three years. ever since Con-
gress iirst authorized q House
Senate commission to carry out
the t10.1 million extension. For
this and related work. about
SIT million already has been
appropriated.
Protests against the extension
have been generated largely by
groups Of private architects and
historic preservation organiza-
tons. who wished no change
at all in the Capitol Building.
Their efforts resulted in the
Senate bill Of opposition de-
1eated lass night.
In the House, however. no
such opposition moves have
arisen, and there need be no
House concurrence with the
Senate decision 10 prcceed.

signature today to an order
which frees Architect Of the
Capitol ]. George Stewart
to let contracts for the im-
provement. The Senator and
House Speaker Rayburn were
designated by the joint COM
mission to authorize such d.
receives. and Mr.. Rayburn al
ready had signed the go-ahead
order.

made by a team Of prominent

Authors Say Pasternak Wants Nobel Prize

Three Western Nobel priZeWin- ming authors agreed Thursday that Boris Pasternak turned doyn his 1858 award because of press ure from the Soviet government, not because he agreed with the Kremlin's condemnation of his work.
 The 68-year-old Russian writer was awarded the $41, APO prize a week ago for his poetry, and his novel, Doctor Zhivago," which describes the loss of freedom in Soviet society. The novel is a best-seller in the West, but has been suppressed in the Soviet Union.
 Wednesday, after a government campaign of vilification in which the Nobel committee was accused of playing cold war politics, Pas ternak cabled the Swedish Royal Academy of Letters that he was refusing the prize because of the meaning attributed to this award in the society I live in."
 Do not take my voluntary re- fusal with an ill will," he added.
 Frances Albert Camus, winner of the 1857 Nobel Prize for Lit erature, commented, q don't be- lieve Pasternak refused the Nobel Prize of his own free will. ;"
 Earl Bertrand Russell, 86-year- old British philosopher who won the 1850 prize, said he was "dis- gusted with the Russians attitude to this from the start"
 He joined another Nobel win ner, poet T. s. Eliot, and several other leading British writers in a plea to the Soviet Writers Union not to victimize Pastcrnak.

New Geophysical Assessment Law
From the Department of Mines
 Bulletin)

According to information re- ceived at the time of writing the last Bulletin, s. 3039 to allow for
 geophysical assessment work had
 not quite passed before Congress
 adjourned. However, it somehow
 did get passed in the final hours
 of the 85th Congress and was
 signed into law by the President.
 It is now Public Law 85-876. This new law permits geological, geo. physical, and geochemical work
 to be considered as labor or im- provements on unpatented claims to fulfill the yearly $100-per-claim assessment work requirement. Geophysical surveys to qualify must be made on the ground Gaerial surveys not alleweO and must be made by qualified ex- perts using recognized standard instruments and equipment. A de- tailed report will have to be filed in the proper recording office stating CD the location of the work in relation to the discovery point and claim boundaries, (2) the nature, extent, and cost. (3) basic findings of survey, and tD name, address, and professional background of person or persons doing the work. Such surveys may not be applied as labor for more than two consecutive years nor for more than a total of five years on any one claim. No sur
 vey may be applied that is repe- titive of a previous allowed sur
 vey, and radiation detection sur veys will not be applicable
 This geophysical assessment
 work law is a long-needed addi- tion to our mining law, recogniz- ing modern exploration methods. We are happy to see it in effect.
 However, we also see that ques- tions will be raised on some of the definitions in the Act, and we wonder who is to say as to who are qualified experts and what are standard methods and equipment.
 It is logical to expect that the next step in changing our mining
 laws would be a provision for geophysical discoveries. This step,
 though needed, should be viewed
 with caution, for it could prove
 to be a means for large companies
 to squeeze small operators and
 prospectors out of new areas We
 should never forget to guard the rights of the individual prospec- tors. There is a definite need for an amendment to the General Mining Laws which would pro-
 vide reasonable protection to one
 who is working in good faith to
 make legal discovery, until he makes that discovery.
