Eagle Bureau, 001 Colorado Building. By JOHN BILLINGS Jr. Washington, Dec. 12 The Senate, accustomed to grinding out strange legislation for other people, today flnjs itself caught in an embarrassing net of Its own making. Its predicament is due almost entirely to Its habit of passing and amending bills with only a bare hand-lulof Senators on the Job and the balance lounging in the lobbica and cloakrooms.

the last session the Senate, with abjut six members actually on the floar, officially ordered Itself a new chamber at a cost of $500,000. Not on Senator out of 10 realized that th had been done. Today the has suddenly awakened to th fact that a major change In quarter is Impending, that there was little or no explanatory debate at the tirf)e and that disagreement exists as to wisdom of such extensive alterations within the Capitol. Catches Rising Protest. Senator Curtis as chairman of the HuJes Committee now has on hl.i awaiting signature the approved plans by Carrere Hastings and the contracts for construction to bo stated shortly after March 4.

But bis well-trained ears have caught the rising protest of Senators whose ppfrions were not sought on this matter He has also received an objecting from the press gallery, wiiere tht membership complains that the new plans place the gallery in such ft Disadvantageous position that the "high degree of accuracy" of the Senate correspondents will be scrl-O'iily threatened. Senator McNary, it la known, will soon make a motion tnat the Senate reconsider this proposal with a view to further debate nntl explanation and a direct vote by tli entire membership. Many Dislike Gaudy Plans. Many Senators are opposed to changing the present chamber of the Si'iate on sentimental grounds. Others dislike the rather gaudy plans prfpared for the new quarters.

Senator Copeland of New York Is the protagonist of this whole move-mint to rebuild the Senate chamber. II has been hammering away at it tot five years and, apparently, making little progress until his whole proposal was quietly slipped Into the Legislative Appropriation bill last April. This was enough to start the Capitol wheels turning and now, the Senate changes Its mind, the 014 Sennte chamber will be de-mdjished shortly after Hoover takes tht oath of office and a new one wiM be fashioned to greet returning Senators a year from now. "Wants Chamber More Livable. due of the oddities of the situation lc that this new construction would tuiji the Senate out of its wing into the great central rotunda under the Capitol's dome for any special session th new President might choose to calj.

Such a meeting place would be amusingly Informal. There are no Kallcrles for spectators or press. Under the dome Is a tremendous echo which would send even the thin voice of Senator Simmons rolling and rurfibling away like thunder. Senator Copeland wants the change to Tnake the Senate chamber "more livable." He claims that the health ot 'Senators Is undermined by the present well-like chamber. "Jn twelve years," he declares, "thirty-six Senators have died In most of them Senators who h.ae spent much of their time in this impossible chamber.

It saddens me now when I look Into the faces of men here to see how health is melt-in; from them and, with each session of Senate, how they break down physically." William H.
