East Front or 7 exQs Front?

elected to keep this suite,
which was assigned him when
he was majority leader, even
after he became Vice Presi-
dent.
Since none of the choice
suites in the new east front
appear to have peen assigned
to Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield, the presumption
is that he will take over the
present johnson suite when
the Vice President moves.
One Of the incest features
of the Vice Presidents new
suite is that it is Immediately
adjacent to the new Senate
reception room, a handsome
42x38-foot chamber whose
features include floor-to-
ceiling walnut paneling, Ver-
sailles-type parquetry floor
ing, crystal chandeliers and
white marble (non-function-
ing) copies of famous old
Capitol fireplaceS.
The room is intended as a
place where Senators can
meet pleasantly with con-
stituents and other visitors.
There is an exact duplicate
on the House side, similarly
situated in juxtapoSition to
the Speakers office. This
will be the first time the
House has ever had a recep-
ton room.
Particularly on the Senate
side, because the Vice Presi-
dents role requires him to
give so many luncheons and
receptions for distinguished
foreign visitors, the room
also will prove very useful.
The old Supreme Court
chamber in the Capitol,
which has been the site of
this high-level entertaining
in the past because more suit
able quarters were not avail
able. then will be returned to
the historic museum which it
is intended to be.
C'We've given so many
parties there, and switched
furniture around SO much,
it's beginning to look like a
barroom," said one Senate
veteran disapprovingly y

ton room, through which the
President and other top digni-
taries will enter the building
will be finished in beige, slate
blue and yellow.
Senator Dirksen's office
will be done in very subdued
shades of beige, yellow ochre,
brown and green.
Rooms Not Assigned
The rooms which have not
yet been assigned-many of
them featuring large confer
ence tables and obviously
planned as subcommittee
meeting rooms-will be fin
ished in either green or ma
room.
When will it all be finished?
Probably by the time Con-
gress comes back in January,
says Capitol Architect j.
George Stewart. although this
depends to a certain extent
on how fast the furniture
companies produce, he added.

East Front will be from the
Federal period, which was the
architectural style of the old
central part of the Capitol
which the new extension ad-
joins.
(The House and Senate
wings, which were added to
the original building in the
mid-nineteenth century,
could be described as Vic
torian, neo-clasSic or CLASH
cal revival" says Mario Cam
piolo, Assistant Architect of
the Capitol.)
None of the furniture will
be antique, however. All will
be brand new reproductions
Of Federal period pieces. The
Capitol architects office has
drawn up sketches of the
types of tables, chairs, sofas
and cabinets desired. Some
notifications of pure" Fed
eral styling, such as function
al swivels on chairs, have
been included.
Furniture companies cur
rently are bidding on the job.

rooms, where they have been
designated, are having a

hand in selecting the decor,
although their choice has
largely been limited to colors
and fabric finishes.
All the paneling and trim
and the wooden parts of the
furniture will be walnut.
Authorizing legislation re-
quireS that the entire project
be governed by the Buy
American" act, and this does
not leave much of a choice in
woods, the architects point
out.

Vice President Johnson's

his present office and also

Overhead lighting in the
Vice Presidents own office
comes from two bronze chan

by the extremely high CELL
ings (16 to 10 feet).
Maroon for Rayburn
Speaker Rayburn's new
quarters will feature q hand
some maroon to crimson
tone, much the same color as
is used in his present quar-
tiers. The deep carpet, the
upholstered leather sofa and
chairs and brocade draperies
all will be in this color, which
is relieved by off-white walls
and curtains.
Colors in the House recep-
ton room will be much like
those in the Speakers office.

Despite unprecedented handi-
caps, the Geauga Highway De
partment did excellent work dur
ing 1860 as seen in the report
for the year filed with county
commissioners by Stanlae Mer-
ritt, superintendent.
The spring of 1860 brought the
worst breakup of roads in the
history of Geauga County, News
reports revealed this situation eX-
tended into Kentucky, through In
diana and a considerable dis
tance into Pennsylvania. Roads
were frozen deep.
The ground was saturated with
water from melted snow, and
with the snow, caused the break
ing through.
1t was almost impossible for the
highway workers to fill or bridge
hole with materials owing to
a sheet of ice at varying depths.
Total amount of cost of machin-
cry, labor and materials was $18,-
443.24. 1T was an expenditure
not anticipated and a heavy
drain on the budget" said Mer-

Council Studies
Zoning Plan

Two recommendations for zon-
ing and rezoning presented TO
Chardon Village Council Thurs :
day night by the Chardon Plan
ming Commission were returned
for further submission.
One for zoning and rezoning as
commercial was for an area near
the shopping center - Water ST.,
west Of margin of B. and o. to
Wilson Mills Rd, south to Center
St, east to prolongation of east
line, to north line of lot LO7, east
to parcel conveyed by E. and O.
Daniels, east to Park Ave, then
to B. and o. and to place of be-
ginning. The balance of the area
bounded on the north of Center
st. line of Daniels Dr., on east by
above commercial area, south b.
center line of Park Ave, on west
by Wilson Mills Rd., would be
made residential.
Some members of Council
thought that industrial area
should not be changed to COM
mercial.
The other recommendation was
for zoning of South ST., both sides,
to permit professional offices.
Council wanted it cleared as to
just what would be permitted.
Council expressed desire to
purchase additional land, so by
$50 feet, adjoining its property on
which the village barn is located
on Park Ave. The village engi =
