each day he wanted clerk to keep track
of the measure. Mr.. Clancy and Mr..
Read asked the same question. Mr..
Kuchenbecker, in the chair, said he was
in the same position; and Mr.. Branch ex-
planned that this is substitute for all the

ignorance of the business of the house.
Representatives of the press we're present

legitimate sub ject of criticism, he said.
