NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON-Th revered con-
gress Of the United States of Amer.
lea is rapidly becoming no place at
all for q well-brought-up deacon's
son--if it ever was.
The idea seems to have gone
abroad among the senators and rep
resentatives that the only way a
politician can make his mark now
a6ays is TO make it on the face OF
cne or another of his esteemed col
leagues.
Thus within the last few days
the Conscript Fathers have used both
fists and feet in the course of par
liamentary debate, and Speaker
Nicholas Longworth is reported to
he considering hiring one of Tex
Richards referees to preside over
the session Of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Senator's Carter Glass and Burton
K Wheeler, neither of whom is large
or husky, sought to engage in per-
sonal combat on the senate floor
recently. On the same day Repre-
I, sentatives incher and Strong leaped
at one another for the honor OF
Kansas.
And now committee hearing has
been enlivened by Representative
Thomas Blanton of Texas leading q
wild left for the jaw OF Congress
man Sol Bloom of New York.
Thus it will be seen that congress
sional sittings are rapidly losng
that old-time air of deadly for
mality and are becoming pervaded
by n pleasant warmth of feeling thai
speaks well for the future of the
republic
Blanton. who figured SO prom1n-
emily in the latest melee, is tacitly
accepted as congress- champion Draw
! ler There are, for him, no private
fights. Nothing, indeed, is easier
than to provoke him to desire for
physical combat.
