Stone Throwing
By Glass House
Dwellers Eased
WASHINGTON (UPI) - As
far as Rep. 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.
