Senators ages average higher than those of house members, but the senators must have better eyes. They have not demanded that the hands of the senate clock be painted a lighter color, i is done in the house when members complained they were almost invisible. The senate clock's hands still are almost the same color as the background. Committee , considers tioa of Gov.

Boehrin ger, Salem operating engineer and state AFL board figure, as he sat alone in the capitol corridor near the house Thursday. Absence of the usual milling crowds, how ever, serves to emphasize presence of such lobbyists and onlookers as do show up. Other visitors Wed nesday and Thursday have in cluded: M.

For one tiling, the capitol area's cus todial staff did a thorough job of cleaning the street sidewalks, and when the snow began melting, tiny: strips of green grass in the parking became visible. Also, patches of grass around manholes connected with the capitol heat ing system came into view when the snow around them melted ly. Dr. John Francis Cramer, su perintendent of Eugene public schools, remarked that in his home city a better job had been done in clearing streets and side walks of snow shortly after it fell .This observation couldn't have been purely a matter of Home pride, for Cramer was once aSa lem resident for four years- while attending Willamette uni versity. Dr. Cramer was here on business related to school legisla tion, including the income tax surplus distribution bill. William Senfert of The Dalles was seen around the legislative halls this week and some folk wondered why, inasmuch as fish legislation to date is neith er extensive nor notably con troversial. The answer may be that he Is wary of what the lerislatnre might be tempted to authorize the fish commission to do in the way ef regvlatlng the salmon season on the apper Columbia river. The correspondents down from Portland for the session are hav ing a hard time to find "leads" for their stories, the legislative scene is so colorless or, ; it has Deen since the first-week organi zation deadlock in the senate.

"The legislature buckled down to business today " he wrote The writer for one of the morning papers, xaiung to read his oppon ent's story when it appeared in print, also wrote: "The legislators began buckling down to business today." The "legislative spotlight" expression was dusted off this week by another reporter. And one of the Portland report ers, arriving late at a committtee hearing, jumped to conclusions, when, listening to four witnesses testify in five minutes, wrote: "A parade of witnesses Dassed before the - committee today. . ; He did not realize that he had arrived in time to hear the only witnesses who appeared before the committee.

One of those women who very apparently enjoys harmony in its various phases, she delighted me when she said what I had been thinking: "A fine thing about this dim- out .business is the fact that we can see the stars!"
