Says:

The horse and buggy days
may be gone, but apparently q
few hangOvers from the pro-
hibitiOn era must remain when
you read about that Congress
man from Kansas who still
wants to make Washington, the
Nations Capital, dry, yet admits
there's not much chance at
present Oh well, If nothing
else it's the first expression Of
any kind we've had from
Kansas since November third.
It's hard to get any real con.
sensus about the liquor question
in the Capital these days
The minute you ask q Congress
man whether he's in favor Of
drinking, he thinks it's an in
vitatiOn.
Regardless of how much
imbibing there is among poll
ticians, the Democrats must
certainly be using a better
brand than they did before
1888 At least they're not
scared of seeing G. o. P. eIe-
plants any more.
You know, on second thought,
maybe something should be
done about Congressman drink.

bills couldn't have been intro
duced by sober guys.

that he had intended in his bill
to include all the full time en-
ployes in the District Government
as well as those in the Federal pay
scale and that If his bill was not
so interpreted he would see that
the change is made in committee.
His announcement came as hun

their representatives inquired If
they would receive benefits. Among
those who called were Curtis E.
McGhee, president of the City
Fire Fighters Association.

Mr.. McGhee said he was going
to ask the Senator if he intended
to include the firemen in pay
raises and to ask that some pro.
vision be made for them.
Senator McCarran said:

+ In the District were under the
provisions Of my bill. L Ger.
tainly wrote 1t with a view in
mind Of taking care of these en-
plOyeS.
