Memories of pensions for con-

week when it was announced
that 200 congressman had APP

less fortunate persons will have

It seems to be the opinion of

Congress X Cited By Gas Rationing
Many Political If They Drive Without
Constituents T.

these gentry argued that some
congressman rarely get home to
visit their constituents n d
when they do they need gasoline
to get around. Others wanted TO
know how congressman are go
ing to get to their offices and
federal buildings to transact bus
mess if they had no gasoline. A
Washington newspaper suggested
to them that they could get there
by riding buses, street cars and
taxicabs-the way the general
public does.
The matter of gasoline ration
ing will probably be brought
nearer home to all in the near
future, as it is thought that in
short time the whole country
may be put on short ration.
