Good Evening.
LET'S EAT
BIZ THE MAN In THE TOWER

Let's Law off, for the present, picayune fares,
We may accumulate weight, but then, VINO cares!
No longer lamb chop, no, nor even two
With bit of shredded cabbage as roughage to cneW
Concluding with slice of pineapple for dessert
Who cares for vitamins! food never hurt.
So like real epicures let's prepare to dine
On numerous courses interspersed with VINE
fruit cup first with chill and a tone,
For SOUP none better than well seasoned minnesrone
AS to fish, how about salmon fresh from the river
And a generous portion, not just silver;
Of course along with all of this food
Plenty of celery, olives and so forth, go good
Which brings us nicely to the main part OF our meal
Will it be roast or broi or saute OF veal!
After thought let's vote on tender baby chicken
Delcately fried, cream sauce about to thlcken;
Corn fritters on the sde boiled potatoes new
Well saturated in butter and parsley too;
Tender wax beans and ditto summer squash
Will serve as vegetabes-oh gee, on gosh!
Could you eat salad? Well upon my soul!
Just toss shredded lettuce and heart OF escarole
With suggestion of onion, cucumber cut small,
Mix lightly but well the ingredients all
With well blended dressing not too sour,
Then consider dessert if you have the will power
What more appropriate now ask va
Than noble portion of baked Alaska
For finish demi-tasse is recommended,
And that seems to be al-our meal is ended.

RODNEY DUTCHE
Democrat Washington
CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Aug. 9-There is q
theory, more popular on Capitol
Hill than elsewhere, that congress
is competent to legislate.
The fact is that no congress-
man actually has the time-and
very few have the capacity--to
understand any really big-scale
problem. The exceptions to that
are men who take years to study
a particular issue-as Cordell Hull
studied the tariff or George Norris
the power problem.
I remember that Congressman
George Huddleston of Alabama
said to me several years ago:
"Most of us are dubs. Most Of
us are controlled by certain inter-
ests or certain persons back home"
Yet it was Mr.. Huddleston who
introduced resolution, passed
by narrow majority Of "dubs"
who had been exposed to the most
expensive lobby ever known in
Washington, which ordered him
and other house conferees on the
public utility bill to insist on bar
ring from the house-senate con-
ference Ben Cohen, who drafted
the original bill and is counsel for
the national power policy COM
mittee.

Slap in Senate's Face

The vote was spectacular
event because it was without pre-
cedent and because 1t reasserted
that somewhat battered theory
that congress is competent to Leg
islate without outside aid.
1t also merits special atten-
ton because it was q slap in
the face for the senate, whose
conferees insisted on Cohen's
presence as their technical adj
wiser while they sought to COM
promise the house and senate
bills with the house conferees.
Congress long ago hired leg
islative drafting service whose
seven employees are now swamped
with dumb bills which congress
men insist on introducing.
The obvious need Of technical
experts in framing tax and tariff
legislation has long been recog-
nized and it has been customary
to call in government sharks to
aid members trying to work out
bills in conference.
