NOOMA V4CCE, ,W The Fearless Congress men New House Rule Would Eliminate Burdensome Travel for Lawmakers By DICK WEST Washington -Wli- As public servant?, members of Con gress oftentimes must perform duties that are burden some and pos sibly even I d a n R e r ous. Among the onerous tasks that can be fall the law givers are as- i g n m e 11 Is vnt from congres sional committees to make post - adjournment trips to strange and distant lands. Most congressmen would, of course, prefer to spend the entire adjournment period in their home districts, familiar izing themselves with the problems of their constituents. But when there arc matters overseas that need their at tention, they seldom shirk. Their credo in this regard might be stated as follows: "Ask not only what we can do for our country, but what country we can do it in." Some of lhem even have been known to expose their wives and children to the rigors of foreign travel, which reflects a dedication By Small Worlds Around Us LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 19631 Strange Plants, Indeed, Art Members of Fungus Family There was always supposed to be a very fat little toad or ling silling under a fungus plant thai resembled an open umbrella. Just who started the idea In I lie first place is not known. Probably it was a fairy slory for the amusement of children at bedtime. Of course, any careful observer, walking in a quiet woodland, might have seen a toad nibbling on a totadslool, for toads do eat parts of certain kinds of fungi. Squirrels, garden slugs and termites, as well as deer and tattle, nil show a preference for cerlaiu kinds of mush rooms. Just how the animals know which kind to eat and which ones to leave alone is not loo well understood eith er by students of plant culture or exports in animal behavior, (.liven a choice, animals have been observed to avoid cer tain kinds which later were found, by careful chemical tests, to be poisonous. Strange plants, indeed, arc the members of the family of fungus. There are hundreds of varieties, of which about a dozen kinds are poisonous. It takes an expert to tell which is which, and even the ex perts make frequent mistakes in identification. Retain Poison Kxperuneiits with the poi son variety of mushrooms have found that they retain their poison for as long as 11) years. The blushing amanila is one of Ihc cup-shaped toad stools. Its cape is covered with warts and it is dangerous. Mushrooms do not contain chlorophyll - the green pig ment of most plants - ami as they cannot manufacture their own food, they must depend on animal or vegetable mat ter. Fungus requires very little light or oxygen, thriving beot in a warm, moist temperature above 70 degrees. Under suit able conditions, their growth is rapid , , . so fast, in fact, that there are records of fun gus breaking sidewalks and rocks. Underneath the umbrella or cap of many toadstools are the rather neatly arranged gills, each knife-thin, from v. hieh cuine the spores. From these dust - sized spores come the toadstools of tomorrow. Threads, which grow around the roots at the base of the stem or shall, also produce new stalks. 'Hour' Soil Usually wt think of soil in which toadstools grow ns highly sour. Rotten leaf mold of the forest floor is an ideal environment, especially after a warm, spring rain when the soil is wet and the air of the woodland is moist and hu mid. Mushroom wralhcr, the ol:t timer used to call sm h a il.iy. On mm h n ririy, he growth of Hie toadstool is humeri. It is possible, if one is in the right place, to actually see the cap raise up above the litter of the forest floor and open its typical umbrella shape. Look at the same one a few hours later and it will have collapsed, turned from snowy white lo a black mass of rot ling vegetation. The life span of most toadstools is short and sour. These lowly plants play an important part in Nature's plan by reducing organic mat ter into soil as food for cer tain animals. Some members of the family that contain the molds, rusts, yeast and mil dews are used in the manu facture of sonic drugs, peni cillin being one of the im portant ones. Future studies will prob ably reveal many more uses in which fungus members will cnntribulc to man's welfare . over and beyond the call of duty. Along with numerous other citizens who have the inter ests of our lawmakers at heart, f have long felt that something should be done to relieve them of this obliga tion. I was pleased, the. -fore, to note that the House Rules Committee, which is known for the quality of its mercy, lias moved to eliminate some of the hardships. The committee has propos ed new rules which would, in effect, restrict journeys by House members to those who might conceivably have some valid reason for going abroad. In addition, the changes would lift from their shoul ders the onus of helping to dispose of foreign cur rencies that the U.S. gov ernment has accumulated under its aid programs. These currencies, known v a r i o usly as "counterpart funds-," or "play money," would no longer be spent with unsalcguardcd vigor. T hey would be listed on a con gressman's expense account, just like the real stuff. I think the committee's ac tion is to be commended. From time lo tiine. reports have drifted back of members of Congress overexerting thems-elves in Iheir zeal to re duce Ihc counterpart surplus. The new House rules would not, unfortunately, provide any protection for members of the Senate, who have per haps been even more selfless and courageous about accept ing duties across the seas. Ast taxpayers, let us hope they will decide lo spare themselves, loo. Wolves Driven Out By Cold in Hungary London . -iL PI Kurope's cold wave today drove herds of sheet! hunting wolves inlo the Hungarian plains. As in Hungary, the freezing weather remained m Switzer land, Austria, Italy and else where. ISul Britian's slo.v thaw continued. The cold had killed at least five persons in the past 2-1 hours, with anoth er seven missing and feared dead. Budapest liadin said the re mains of Kill sheep wire found on the plains near Theiss river in Fastein Hun gary. The wolves apparcnllv were driven from the Carpa thian .Mountains by the ex treme cold and snow. So lar, hunters on their trail have been unable to get close enough to destroy any of them.
