ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July u.s.
Senator John Sharp Williams Of Mis-
sissippi Is in favor of having Congress
hold Its sessions in Atlantic City dur
ing the heated summer months here
after.
The senator Is enjoying a respite
from the torrid weather that has pre-
vailed In the National Capital recent
ly. and in an interview on the Steel
Pier. while talking of the many attrac-
tions the resort has to offer. remarked
what pleasure 1t would be If Con-
gress could sit in Atlantic City during
the summer sessions instead of being
compelled to endure the heat of Wash
ington.
When asked If there was any legal
objection to moving Congress to some
seaside resort for the summer months,
Mr.. Williams replied that there was
not. as precedent had been establish
ed during the early days of the nation
when Philadelphia was the national
capital. During an epidemic in the
Quaker city Congress had been tenn
porarily moved to Annapolis for safety.
And now. of course. Atlantic City's
hustlers-who need only q hint-are
after" Congress for next summer, and
every other summer during the lifetime
of the nation.
The summer rush. although q trife
later than in years past. is on in deadly
earnest This was evidenced by the
enormous throngs which crowded both

surf contained more bathers on that
day than on any other day during the
present season. They were a happy.
