WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-Rep.
Hamilton Fish, Republican, New
York, resigned from the foreign
affairs committee today with lot
of words about how he was going
to devote his full time to seeing to
it that the "bureaucrats" at home
didn't regiment peoples lives.
Behind his familiar words, used
with monotonous regularity by an
ti-administration forces in Con-
gress, lay the report that Repre-
sentative Fish is embarrassing to
his own Republican Party and that
they had urged his resignation.
Not that they necessarily disa-
gree with him, but he is in such
bad odor and his appeasement tao
tics so exposed on the foreign af-
fairs committee that his own party
cohorts thought it best he absent
himself, it was said.

But even the people laughing through their teeth.
THE spectacle of national law-makng body putting

The unavoidable expenditures which Congress must

The additional but unnecessary expenditures which
Congress also authorizes and for which approprates
