Sometimes he is controlled by 4

times these groups control the

the congressman may be controlled
directly either by the boss or groups.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ). MONTAGUE
TRIBUTE TO MUSIC

The movie director can never expect
Great work from his sensitive brain,
Unless he is daily bestirred to direct
BY some soulful and dreamy refrain.
When the magical lure of a beautiful
air
Has wakened his thought cells bit
He runs a lean hand through his thick
raven hair
And turns out a whale of hit.
When lover lays siege to a fair
ladys heart
He is never quite sure of his
ground,
Though his words may be soft and his
clothes may be smart
If there's nothing but silence around,
But let him propose with beautiful
song
Just take it from Irving Berlin
And he knows from the start that his
suit won't go wrong
He is practically certain to win.
The soldier fares forth to engage in a
war
Unafraid of the prospect of strife
In the wake of militant musical
corps
Composed of two drums and a fife
His spirit is reused to bellicose pitch
When belligerent tunes are athrob
And he knows he will fight to the
very last ditch
AS long as he stays on the job.
And now it is found that young men
who have failed
Though they study and tutor and
cram
To take the nerve-shettering hurdles
entailed
In passing a college exam;
Can listen to music before every test
However appalling it be,
Sail into a subject and do their
darned best
And come out with a Phi Beta key!

whether she would be kind enough to

was still a few more minutes to wait,
and, in the rather painful silence, she
