Seventy-Seventh Congress is W orn in at noon, on Jan­ uary 3rd, next, Last week the House, by- a vote o f 191 to 148, defeated a resolution fo r sine die adjournment offered by Democratic Floor Leader John W McCormack o f Massachusetts. The over-whelming vote against ad­ journment stunned the^New Deal lead­ ership, Shortly before the vote was taken, statements had been made on the Floor that a refusal. to adjourn wiiul dbe considered “ an insult to the President” , and would “ make the peo­ ple* pf the country believe \hat the Congress lacked confidence in the Fresdent." However, many of the' 44 , Democrats, who voted with th esolid Republican minority in opposition to sin die adjournment, openly tated that they believed that it .was the duty of the legislative branch of the Govern­ ment to. remain on the job as long as any. emergency, international or other­ wise^ might exist.

Monday, Novfember 25th, and to continue holding its sessions there until temporary repairs to the Toof u f the House .Chamber -could-be- made. William Tyler Page; for many »years Clerk o f the. House, and with nearly 60 years o f legislative service, is the source- o f information, to the effect that the House o f Representa­ tives has never met outside the Capitol since moving back into the old original House Chamber-in 1819 following its restoration.after the burning o f the- structure by the British forces in 1814. AccordingTo Mr. Page, the House met regularly in -the old_LHouse Chamber from 1819 to J857 when the House moved into, the new Chamber, com­ pleted in that .year. The.old original House Chamber was then converted into Statuary Hall, while Congress continued to meet regularly in the new House Chamber for nearly 82 •years, ■ $163.76 IS AWARDED A jury composed o f four women and eight men deliberated one hour and twenty minutes then awarded a $163,- 76 judgment on a cognovit not to Ar­ chie Gordon In his suit against Roy H- Swaney, in common pleas court Tues­ day noon.

The decision o f the .House o f Rep­ resentatives to vacate the present Hall o f the House, until emergency impairs to the roof cah be made did not come a moment too soon—according to num­ erous engineering authorities. The great glass ceiling o f the House Chamber is suspended from the roof, which measures 120x126 feet and is without Suppbrt except from the sides. For a long tjme it has been kftowil 'that the foo f was in a dangerous condition am* might collapse under heavy snow or as a result of any un­ usual strain. Earlly last year, Con­ gress appropriated funds for the re­ building o f the roof and ceiling, but the long continued session o f Con greBS prevented the beginning o f the work of reconstruction. Then a few weeks ago, when the roof was examin- • ed by the Architect of the Capitol; David Lynn, it was revealed that some o f the wrought iron trusses and gird­ ers had slipped fa r out of place, ant that as a result some of the roof’s supports were carrying as "much as vighty times the weight they were de­ signed to boar. Outside experts ail agreed w}th Mr, Lypn that the roof " might collapse at any moment, and it was hastily decided that temporary repairs were o f immediate necessity According to Architect Lynn, temper 1 ary supports can he installed Within six weeks, so that the Seventy-Sev­ enth Congress will be able to meet in safety. It is' planned that later on Whenever Congress will be in adjourn ment for five or six months, to re construct the entire roof and ceiling SO as to eliminate for all time the dangers now existing and at the same tie preserve the present architectural Tines and ceiling o f the beautiful and historic Chamber wherein the most representative legislative body in tjie world has met for so many years APPOINTMENTS ' Kenneth Bryan as administrator o f the estate of Raymond Bryan, late of Silvercreek Twp., under $2,000 bond.
