What Tiberius looked like must still remain unknown despite the panels lately found under the Palazzo della Cancelleria, incidentally the most impressive artistic discovery made in Rome since the days of the Renaissance. In reporting that the main figure on the panels was the morose Emperor, TIME (June 12) was repeating an early opinion of their discoverer, Dr. Filippo Maggi. Yesterday, before the Pontifical Academy of Archeology, Dr. Maggi corrected himself, proved to many, but not all, the academicians' satisfaction that the emperor in question is Vespasian, that perhaps another figure in the marble pageant is Domitian.

House he was made Governor by the greatest of all Virginia political bosses, Senator Thomas Staples Martin, and then sent to the Senate for a career that lasted 22 years. He was one of Woodrow Wilson's main props in that chamber during the idealistic War years and the bitter years that followed.

The auditorium's only gadget is useful: a glass enclosed gallery where mothers may sit with infants likely to cry. Dedicated three weeks ago, St. Austin's design has done nothing but please its congregation...
About 250 feet long, five stories high, with two main wings parallel to the main exhibition building and a glass and marble fagade, the proposed Gallery is without frills except for a curving pool and sculpture court beside the main entrance. Its site will be a two-block plot of ground on the Mall directly-and dramatically-opposite Jack Pope's National Gallery, now in construction-a $9,000,000 pantheon with marble wings. Cost of the functional Smithsonian Gallery of Art (which Congress has not yet appropriated...
