Restaurant in the Capitol were

er in the Senate dining room,
had a few problems. But being
an old hand, he solved most of
them. Strictly, it was wait in

The Chamber of Commerce
says that the big government is
wrongly called "federal."
"Federal," the C of C figures,
equals central plus local govern
ments, and the thing in the Dis
trict of Columbia is Washing
ton government, which is hard
ly any government at all because
nobody has a vote.
The C of C, which is a good
one to stick its official neck out,
says:
"Because of the importance of
retaining a federal government
system, it would appear useful
to stop referring to Washington
as the 'federal' government.
"It would be better to call it
the 'national,' 'the central' or
the Washington government.'"
