Fearful House OKs Remodeling WASHINGTON (P) Spurred by grim warnings the Capitol could collapse any moment, the House has approved $2 million to plan a controversial remodeling job. The entire project, to cost as least $45 million, would not only add a new wall to the Capitol but would include about 100 new offices, four restaurants, two auditoriums, escalators and several public restrooms. "Let us put this last grand, touch on the Capitol," said Rep. Fred Schwengel, R-Iowa, a staunch supporter of the project, during debate that found opponents badly outgunned. LEADERS of both parties applied their power and produced photographs and architects' reports indicating the 150-year-old sandstone west wall is showing its age.

"I can't say it will collapse today," said Speaker John W. McCormack, "But I can't say it won't. If it should collapse it would have a tremendously adverse effect on public opinion." Besides having the biggest guns, proponents of the plan had the most time to give their views. Of the two hours allotted for debate, only eight minutes went to an opponent, Rep. Samuel S.

Stratton, "EVERYONE recognizes that something has to be done," said Stratton, "But do we really need anything this elaborate? Is the only way to save the west front to have this incredible 4-12-acre ezpansion?" Stratton, who favors restoration of the wall in place to preserve the original architecture, said the cost of the expansion project would make it the most expensive building ever constructed. Capt.
