MSMWWW' 'own Z Go a Little Easier in - Congress Z B.r EARL WHITLOCK " It is considered quite smart and ! m sophisticated, among numbers o( people, to rldi- cule congress a "1 a sort of vaude m ville show filled with low comedl- 2 ans. And assur- edly, there are, In 1U halls, a JJ few clowns who m are fully worthy u of our contempt. On tha other Z hand, congress m surely contains a remarkable per- " ccntage of hon- est, hard-work- . ar-(, iHV' Earl Hhltlock lng, brilliant patriots who could earn a good deal more In private life than they will ever earn as servants of the public, and whom we are extremely fortunate to have working for us. Also, don't you think congress deserves a certain degree of re spect merely for the fact that It IS a directly elected body which represents us you and me In Washington. And It reflects, pret ty accurately, all our shortcomings as It should. Any propaganda which Is anti congress I don't mean sound and constructive criticism I mean pointless ridicule and unjust con demnation, plays right spang Into the hands of those anti-American lorces In our midst who are try ing constantly to discredit our en tire form of government. Let's start discounting such prop aganda much more heavily than We do. afSiS M IT . FLATTEN IM; CAVE From Your Old t'oaf?
