Orfly One S.O.B.
Cornerstone for Congressional
Building Brings Complications
mm
By DICK WEST
Washington - (UPD - The
cornerstone hat been laid for
a $100 million congressional
office build
ing being erec
ted on Capitol
Hill. For rea
sons having
no direct con
nection with
the ceremony,
this started
me to think
ing about the
west 1 a i e KODen
Benchley. Benchley once
wrote that when poeple got
to know him well they called
him "Sweet Old Bob" and
sometimes just the initials.
So it is with the congres
sional office buildings. Peo
ple who know them well have
learned to recognize them by
their initials.
There are approximately 20
members of the House and
Senate who might be called
"Sweet Old Bob." But as the
congressional telephone direc
tory figures things, Capitol
Hill has only one S. O. B.
That designation goes to
the Senat Office Building,
which standi next to the
Naw Senate Office Build
ing, which is listed In the
directory a N.S.O.B.
Until recently, S.O.B. and
N.S.O.B. had their counter.
parts on the house of the Cap
itol in H.O.B. and N.H.O.B.
Then the nomenclature began
to get complicated.
Work was started on the
building which was dedicated
Thursday, posing the prob
lem of what it should be
called.
Some began to refer to it
as T.H.O.B. (third House Of
fice Building). Others called
it N.N.H.O.B. (new new House
Office Building). I personal
ly favored S.A.H.O.B. (still an.
other House Office Building).
Capitol architect J. George
Stewart finally settled the
matter temporarily by desig
nating it as A.H.O.B. (addi
tional House Office Building).
After the death of Speak
er Sam Rayburn, sentiment
developed for naming A. H.
O. B, in hit honor. This
prompted suggestions that
H. O. B. and N. H. O. B.
also be named for former
speakers.
Some proposed that H. O. B.
be changed to M. H. O. B. in
honor of Frederick Muhlen
berg, the first speaker. Others
thought that N.H.O.B. should
be called P. H. O. B. in honor
of James K. Polk.
Ultimately, however, the
House voted to name H. O. B.,
N. H. O.B. and A. H. O. B.
for the three men who were
speakers when work was
started on the buildings.
Besides Rayburn (A. H. O.
B. ), they were Joseph G. Can
non (H. O. B.) and Nicholas
Longworth (N. H. O. B ).
So now we have R. H. O. B.,
C. H. O. B. and N. H. O. B
which is going to take a lot
of getting used to.
It seems to me the easiest
thing to do would be to drop
the "H" and simply call them
"Cob," "Lob" and Rob."
Police Duel Across
Canal in Berlin
Berlin - (UPD - Western and
Communist police fought a
gun duel across a border canal
within sight of afternoon
strollers Sunday after the
Reds shot down a fleeing refu
gee. None of the policemen was
hurt in the exchange of 60
shots, but East German offi
cials reported the refugee died
of hla wounds In a hospital.
The gun battle was the sec
ond within a week between
police of West and East Ber
lin, and followed by a day an
attempt to blow up parts of
the Communist-built wall.
