JHS said in a recent editorial that visitors in the House chamber are not permitted to carry packages.

The same applies to the Senate gallery visited by our family a year ago.

Sen. Roman Hruska greeted us in his office, escorted us on a ride in the Senate subway and into the gallery, where we watched Sen. Hubert Humphrey address the Senate.

A package under my arm caught the eye of the doorman at the Senate gallery, and in a most polite manner he asked for tho package.

With a little hesitation and a look see in Senator Hruska's direction, the package was handed to the man.

The box contained a gift from Senator Hruska. A 50-star American flag that had flown over the nation's capitol.

Lawrence of Arabia, playing at the Cooper in Omaha, is an excellent story filmed in many of the desert lands. It's bloody, however, even more so than Mutiny on the Bounty, but it's well worth seeing. Film time is about three hours and 15 minutes.

The new General Motors car, the Chevelle, will have a 115-inch wheelbase, sorta in between the Chevy II and the standard Chevrolet. The Chevelle will be built on a frame similar to tho Olds F 85 and Pontiac Tempest.
