Practice of Revising Re-
marks Universally INDUCED
in by congressman.

The folks back home may think
that when they read the Congressional

about what happens in Congress. hut
| both the Senate and the House re
Gently have been reminded that any
such supposition is A fallacy.
Most of those who scan the official
report of the congressional debate
long since have recognized the signfi-
canoe of that constantly recurring
item: Mr. Whozis addressed the Sen
ate. His remarks will appear here
after in the appendix" 1t usually
means that some Senator has decided
to sleep on what he has said. after he
has said it, and perhaps blue pencil
some of it before it goes out to the
country.
But only within the last few weeks
has it become the fashion to speak
frankly about another practice-that
of revising the stenographers notes
on the same day. so that the reader
of the next mornings Congressional
Record finds nothing to arouse his
suspicion.
Senator Reed preached the subject
after tilt with Senator Borah during
debate on the Italian debt settlement
The Pennsylvania had challenged the
truth of a statement made by his col
league from Idaho. In the next days
Record Senator Reed found that the
form of the statement to which he
took exception had been changed. He
thereupon told the Senate in open Sos
sion that Senator Borah had revised"
his speech after delivery, and read to-
Senators what the Idahoan actually
had said and what he was represented
as saying in the Congressional Record.
In the heat Of the farm relief fight
in the House. Representative Aswell
of Louisiana called attention from the
floor to revision made by Repre-
senta Brand of Ohio in a speech de-
livered by the latter the day before.
Aswell Immediately was taken to task
by other members. who limited broadly
that the Louisianan should not be
telling tales out of school.
Everybody revises their remarks"
said Representative Carter of Okla
homa. THE gentleman from Louis
lana does. and l do We go to our
offices late in the afternoon, anxious
TO finish up our work. and revise the
Record; and sometimes we recognize
things in the Record next day that we
wish we had not said. l have no
doubt the gentleman from Louisiana
has had that experience"
That virtually ended the argument.

BRENTWOOD ROAD PLAN
ENCOUNTERS OPPOSITION
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Want
Straight Line Followed-Others
Resist Proposal.

The Dahlgren Terrace Citizens As
ISOLATION is pushing a plan for the
STRENGTHENING of Brentwood road.
AT present. Lewis Radcliffe. the
president. explains, the road follows
bend on the south side of Rhode
Island avenue. whereas the street
map calls for a straight road. Should
the route of the road be continued in
the direction 1t is now pointed. 1t
would have to be run through deep
cut. which would leave houses on
abutting property on unfortunately
high terraces.
The plans of the Dahlgren Terrace
Citizens Association are meeting some
opposition from other property
owners. however. as a change in the
road to conform to the street map
would carry it straight through some
undeveloped property. The owners
of this land want to keep 1t intact
for building purposes.

CITY PLANNERS STUDY
TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Visit Certain Street intersections
Tuesday, Where Turning Radius
Is Narrow.

Study of certain street intersec-
tons in various parts of the city
where traffic congestion is noticea BILE
because of the narrow turning radius
will be made by members of the
city and park planning committee
this week. Officials of the District
Government will compile a list of
these points and the members of the
committee will study them next
Tuesday during the traffic peak pc
RODS.
It is the plan of the committee,
wherever 1t may be found possible
to increase the turning radius at
these intersections by setting back
the curb and pavement.
AS the matter necessarily involves
the movement of sewer catch basins
at the corners. J. B. Gordon. sani-
tary engineer of the District, was
called into the conference today. 1t
was pointed out that any changes
that might he ordered would in
volve considerable expense in NOV
ing these sewers. but Mr.. Gordon
pointed out that in most cases it
would be cheaper for the District to
do this because of the constantly
recurring damages to these basins
due to automobiles running into and
over them in making the turns.
