DALE NELSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON A marble bust of Richard Nixon, tucked into an out-of-the-way Senate anteroom for the past two yca-is in a new spot where more visitors can see it now that Republi-. cans are in power. But Elliott Carroll, assistant architect of the Capitol, says the move had at least as much to do with aesthetics as it did with politics. Carroll said Nixon's bust was one of 10 that were moved about a month ago at the request of the Senate Rules Committee, headed by Sen. Charles McC.

Mathias R-Md. He said the Senate Commission on Arts and Antiquities concurred in the changes. The Nixon bust was one of sev--eral in the Senate Reception Room, an area just off the floor that is frequented by lobbyists but visited by relatively few tourists. Others included the busts of John Nance Garner and Henry Wallace, who served as vice presidents under Franklin Roosevelt. The Nixon bust's new location is near a bank of elevators in a corridor through which many visitors pass on their way to the Senate gallery.

The Garner and Wallace busts were moved to a corridor on the other side of the Senate chamber. Carroll said the Rules Committee and the Antiquities Com placed in the reception room when it was brought out of storage two years ago after a delay of several years, at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. The Nixon bust is by Italian sculptor Gualberto Ricchi. An earlier version by Ricchi was rejected by the Nixon family in 1967 on grounds it was a bad likeness. By the time Ricchi com-' pleted the second version, Nixon was president and decided the bust should not be installed until he returned to private life.

Installation of the bust was apparently delayed further by the emotions aroused by the Watergate scandal that forced Nixon's resignation. SMI 1 ADDITION AL 3 Lb.
