viii raise a roar to the same effect
in hat branch Of the national leg

Gamers prospects Of success are
not as good as Caraway's. because

entire building were In a turmoil,
and that has an influence on people
back home.
The senate can launch an inves-
tigation Of its own anyway-without
the sanction of the lower house.
One pulling question arises:
What Is lobbying2
Nc one denies that an interest"
has a perfect right TO make proper
representations in congress, con-
corning the sort OF legislation that
1t dose and does not want.
There is nOOne Of the rough stuff
today that used to create occasional
awful scandals in olden times.
An interest" forms a national
association" Of one variety or an
other, houses 1t III a million dollar
building, fills 1t UP with a high
priced staff-and no one can call
THAT a lobby"

Plenty Of interests" which are
formidably represented in Wash

moral causes" or some such thing.
On the other hand. even though
1t may be very difficult to prove
that a certain interests represen-
tation IN the capital is a lobby. IL
is almost equally difficult TO prove
that any Of t-lem is NOT
This would give an enthusiastic
investigating committee ample lati-
