Grass Cover
Ordered for
Senate Wino

Capitol Architect j. George
Stewart has ordered planting
Of grass on the gravel and dirt
stretch Of the capitol grounds
east Of the Senate wing.
The ugly tract will be planted
with rye grass within a week,
weather permitting.
Mr.. Stewart acted on orders
Of the Senate Rules Committee.
Chairman Mansfield, Democrat
Of Montana, and other mem
bers were getting tired of the
"junk-yard" characteristics of
their side of the Capitol. The
House grounds are impeccable.
Senate committeeman met
yesterday with Mr.. Stewart to
get an explanation for the
tacky appearance of their Sec
ton.
The architect explained that,
rough dirt was packed above
the subway tunnel linking both
office buildings with the Capt.
tol at a terminal just completed
underneath the Senate steps.
The tunnel will be open for
business next week.
The gravel lot is being used
temporarily for parking. Until
last year, it was an open stor-
age area for marble steps for
the Senate wing and marble for
the East Front of the Capitol.
Two new parking lots near
the new Senate Office Building
and the Carroll Arms Hotel,
scheduled to open June is,
should be able to handle autos
now parked on the Capitol
grounds, Mr.. Stewart said.
He told the Senator's that his
master plan for a giant under
ground parking lot beneath the
East Plaza might disturb the
appearance Of the Capitol
grounds for several years.
But he has no money to pro-
ceed with underground park
ing now. Until he gets it, the
Senate Rules Committee sug-
gested that he turf the Senate
grounds to match the House
landscaping.

A one-time Baltimore ac-
tress who used to make fudge
for a living during the long,
hard winters, now has trou-
bles instead with mink.
Tall and blond Elaine
Swami, here with the road
company of "Thurber Car
nival," gestured toward a
full-length mink coat hang
ing in her dressting room and
moaned, "Eighty-nine one
night stands! Why, that poor
thing will die. I'll just be
climbing on and off that
bus, and out West who's 60
ing to see me in it anyway"
The touring troupe, which
left New York two months
ago, will criss-cross the coun-
try in the coming months,
mostly via bus, winding up
in Chicago in May.

voluble actress went on. you

from the title some audiences

she began her acting career
in the kitchen of the old
Hilltop Theatre.
She signed on as a sum-
mer apprentice, cooked meals
for 80 actors in a kitchen
that used to be a slave quar-
tiers, and the following year
married the producer.
Il kept right on cooking
for all those actors, but at
least I got onstage too, mostly
playing old biddies."
The fudge episode came
during the winters, when we
had to do something to make
a living. My husband would
round up the stage manager,
the apprentices and me. and
we'd make fudge-40 pounds

An Actress Speaks
OfFudge and Mink

Il can't stand the stuff
anymore"
By the time she went to
New York in 1856, Miss
Swami had played over $50
roles land I found that what
you've done out-of-town
means absolutely nothing. In
Baltimore I had hired some
actors whose New York shows
I couldn't get a walk-on
part in"
In TeIevisiOn
She finally made it onto
television, from there went
into Music Man" and
"Greenwillow" and during the
summers did package shows,
including the Carter Barron
production of Oklahoma !"

Just before joining the
Thurber company, Miss
Swami was rehearsing an off
Broadway show which was
so bad I knew I had to get
out of it. So l signed with
this, the off-Broadway thing
closed after two perform
ances, and now we're on the
road"
Anyway" she declared,
struggling into her mink, lit
beats making fudge any day."
