CONGRESS- AND BASEBALL

Today the congress OF the United

they do some of the things they should
do.
A goodly number Of senators and rep
resentatives are being small boys again.

to attend the opening of the big league
baseball season.
Leaders of both houses decided against
the time old custom OF abandoning ses-
sions on the day baseball starts, because
of the need for speeding up action on
important legislation. Thereupon sena-
tors and congressman decided that hook
or crook they were going to be on hand
when the game starts. Some of them.
Of course, won't want TO 60, but it is
safe bet that the majority of them will
Going to see the ball game" is an
ancient American virtue. There is moth
ing wrong about it and in fact there is
much that is commendable. The desire
Of congress to be on deck when play
ball" rings out, strengthens our some
times wavering belief that they really
are, after all, interested in America
and things American.
There are times when we wish that
opening day in the big leagues was ev-
cry day, so that the senators and con-
gressmen would have to attend and let
legislating go hang. Who knows but
what it might not be best for all of us.
Perhaps members will learn something
at the ball game that will be of benefit
to them. If they watch old Connie Mack
leading his men in opposition to the
Washington Senators, they can learn
that it is pissible to direct the efforts of
men and get results without flying into
conniption fits every so often.
What a pity that Huey Long can't
umpire the game and give (as he would)
a wrong decision. What the fans would
do to him would relieve the nation of
pain in the neck.

WASHINGTON. April II. -
Maybe it was tact, maybe it was a
previous engagement or maybe it
was simply that he didn't care
about going.
AT any rate Alexander Troyanov-
sky, Soviet ambassador, did not APP
pear at the grand opening of the
annual Daughters of the American
Revolution convention.
All diplomatic representatives are
invited to the first d. A r.. meet
ing. Last year Troyanoysky attend
tended to the accompaniment of a
great deal of tongue-wagging-the
D. A. r. has said many unkind
things about the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics in its day.
This year the tongues wagged
the other way. Troyanovsky did not
appear at the ceremony. The D.
A. r. explained that he had been
invited but sent his regrets. Why?
The D. A. r. was tactfuHy silent
and the Russian embassy had no
suggestion to offer.
The Shrine convention is COM
ing to Washington this summer
and the senate has voted $4,000 to
be spent in behalf of public or
der and protection of life and lib
erty."
The idea is not however, to pro-
tect the city against the Shriners.
In passing the bill it was eX-
planned that 100000 visitors will be
in the city at convention time and
some precautions must be taken
against the throngs of pickpockets,
gamblers, peddlers and racketeers
who are expected to follow the
convention into town.
