Kibitzer Enjoys London High Life By Alfred Shienwold Today’s hand was a kibitzer’s - delight. When a player failed to show up on time for an international tournament spon- ' sored in London by the Sunday Times, the tournament director grabbed a kibitzer by the shoulder and told him to make noises like John Collings, the young English expert.

House To Revise Lakeshore Bill WASHINGTON UPI — Confused members of the House Interior Committee said Wednes-
day they will try on the House floor to revise the Indiana
Dunes National Lakeshore bill. The bill creating a park of about 8.500 acres which the committee approved Wednesday was not what some of the mem-
bers thought it was.

Plenty of pros

Central Press Washington Writer TTTASHIXGTON—Congress always seems to be able to find W a new controversy in which to embroil itself. Usually they are partisan in nature, but every so often some congressional group stimulates one which divides the members in ways that
defy political description.
In recent years. Congress has developed a new era of controversy—the building and maintenance of the Capitol and its contiguous office buildings and other structures. It got into a lot of controversy over construction of a new Senate Office Building and added a lot more in the construction of the Rayburn
House Office Building.
Apparently undaunted, a bipartisan congressional group has approved plans to extend the West Front of the Capitol at a cost of $34 million. The group has the power to approve the plans, but Congress itself must appropriate the necessary money, and here is where the differences will be fought out. The plan would increase the size of the Capitol by about 25 per cent. Its proponents say it is necessary because the West Front
is crumbling and something must be done about it. The idea is to extend the portion to place it in architectural harmony with the size and balance of the rest of the structure. Opponents are legion. They include senators and representatives, people opposed to governmental extravagance, and most important of all. people who are interested in preserving historic structures in Washington. Among the latter group is no less an organization than the American Institute of Architects. The AIA is opposed because it would obliterate all that now remains of the original external portion of the Capitol that dates
back to the early days of the republic.
One senator says the new area will be used partly as a restaurant, and he feels the present restaurants are losing enough money already. , . If you want to see the Capitol in its present form, don t hurry.
It’ll be here for a while.

• BOOMERANG!—High officials of government agencies can’t atop laughing over what has happened to the General Accounting Office. The GAO is known as the “Watchdog of the Treasury.” its function is to make sure that federal funds are spent in accordance with the law, and it reports transgressors to
Congress.
With its customary zeal, the GAO recently completed a lengthy study in which it said that federal agencies should make better use of their office space. It promptly transmitted its findings to the General Services Administration, which is the housekeeping
agency for most of the governmental agencies. Surprisingly, the GSA said it thought the idea a good one. It promptly looked around for an agency in which to put it into operation. Not surprisingly, the agency it chose was the General Accounting Office.
As a result of its enthusiastic work, the GSA Is forcing the GAO to give up about 50,000 square feet of office space. Some
people in GAO are unhappy about the activities of GAO.

And in New York, Dr. Ira Lubell, district health officer at Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant Health Center, advises a family to go to another district for treatment for a boy’s toothache because physicians, dentists and optometrists failed to report at the city’s 142 clinics—a strike for higher pay, job security and other benefits.

Rep. J. Edward Roush, DInd., sponsor of the bill, said he j will lead the fight when the bill reaches the House floor to restore the park to its originally proposed 11.292 acres, including
the Inland property.
Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Ul., chief Senate sponsor of the bill, charged that the amendment eliminating the Inland property
in effect kills the park.
“Without the beach, the unique and irreplaceable dunes will probably be lost within a generation.” Douglas said. Reps. Morris K. Udall, DAriz., and Ed Edmondson, DOkla., said frankly they did not understand the import of the amendment deleting the beach use and water access rights
when they voted for it.
If Roush loses his fight on the House floor, the Inland property might be restored when conferees meet to iron out differences between the House
