Congressman. 4th D istrict
O ld tim ers on C apitol H ill,
those w ho have been around her«'
tw e n ty years or more, ull seem
to agree that no previous C on
gress has ever gotten its e lf in to
the mena this one is In
N or is
this a partisan vie w p o in t.
I t is
expressed us fre e ly by Democrats
as Republicans.
In a ddition to o ther troubles,
the situ a tio n has developed some
p re tty h itte r feeling between the
House and the Senate. Thia be-
caine d e a rly evident recently
when tli«' Senate refused to give
its consent fo r the House to take
a reecsas w h ile th«' Senate cuught
• «ip with it., work i .no told suth
a refusal is alm ost unheurd of.
I t is alw ays the custom fo r each
House o f Congress to p o lite ly
agree to w hat the o ther wishes
to do fo r Itself.
Senate Refuses Consent
Tli«' detuils of w hut has hap-
pened In Congress recently are
too com plicated and technical to
relate here in detail. However,
tw o or three things ubout the
H ouk «' recess resolution are in te r
esting, to say th«' leust. In th«- firs t
place, th«* Senate properly, I
th in k , objected to the resolution
because it proposed thut the
House b e in recess u n til Sept
em ber 21st, com pletely ignoring
the fact that appropriations fo r

from th«1 A m erican Foundation
for A n im a l Heath.

of 30 days was recommended for

th«' tem poary basis to O ctober 1st
M eanw hile, th«1 Senate, by a vote
of 58 to 25, rejected the House
recess resolution. A c tu a lly , that
action made very little difference
to members f>f the House. We
w ill recess as planned, but w ill
keep in session technically by
m eeting and a d jo rn in g each three
days.
The practical difference
is th a t the employees of the
Hons«' of Representatives w ill get
no vacation and m ust stay on
duty.
Thus, the peeve of the
Senate is taken out on a couple
of dozen w eary clerks, reporters,
pages, reading clerks and door
keepers. Seems to me th a t was a
little beneath w h a t is usually
referred to as the d ig n ity of the
Senate.
