Chairman johnson could not but credit
tc some extent the reports that the
Jones' Works measure was blocking all
progress in his committee. Whether he
believed this to be true he should have
made the attempt to prove or disprove
the report. This he could have done by
calling special meetings of his commit
tee to consider specified measures. He
could have called a meeting to consider
the utilities measure. for instance. a
measure which was ready for report by
his committee In substantially the same
form as II passed the Senate, and which
would almost certainly have been enacted
into law il II had left the House COM
mittee. Mr. johnson, although such
course was suggested to him as far back
as last May. refused to make the at
tempt He alone must bear the blame for
killing, as far as this session Is con-
cerned, the most meritorious District
measure introduced in either House.

course of his administration, though In
an exaggerated form.
