John Dent, D-Pa., is concerned, glass house -dwellers should go easy on stone throwing. The dweller in this case is Ohio Republican Rep. William H. Ayres. Dent was one of four Demo crats scheduled to go to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for four days of House Education and Labor Committee work. Committee chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D-N. Y., had announced plans for the trip but later announced it had been postponed because of the press of pre-adjoumment business. Would Hurt Image Dent read to the House a newspaper account of the post ponement which quoted Ayres as saying the trip would have "hurt the image of the commit tee and the House." "This person." he said, "who is worried about the 'image of the House' still has the smell of leis around his neck that he got in Hawaii just two days ago as the representative of this same committee." Rep. Wavne Havs, D-Ohio, who came under heavy fire ear lier this year because he took the head waiter of the House restaurant along on a trip to the NATO meeting in Paris, asked Dent if he didn't realize that the trip to Hawaii was of ficial business.
