out OF Information about the
army is to be reserved AS a spec

MAYORS" who are now holding
the CHIEF posts at the War De

misdemeanor, il not a crime,
for anyone to talk who knows
anything about a military sub

The question readily arises.
How are Congressman to get in
formation about pending legis-
lation If they cannot talk to off
GERS who know something? This
is plainly a small moment to the
people who are now running the
administration and they probab-
ly prefer that Congress should
not have information, anyway.

emphasize how dependent Con-

shows how an administration
