Speaker. a historic event took place in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday with the unveiling of the bust of the great artist Constantino Brumidi. The distinguished sculptress. Miss Jimilou Mason.. was present at the ceremonies. I say this was an important historic event because it gave permanent recognition by our Nation of its gratitude to the Italian immigrant who more than anyone else ornamented our Nations Capitol Building with work of timeless and enduring beauty. Americans of Italian origin have made tremendous contributions to our national life and welfare. Brumidis work stands on its own merits as a magnificent artistic accomplishment.
