MIR. Maverick and others properly

of many persons for a considerable
period OF time.
Former Representative Maverick
correctly contends, in my opinion,
that visitors to the Capitol building
should not be charged fee or ad-
mission price in connection with an
explanation of the functions and
facilities of the national legislature.
Necessary Service.
capitol guides perform a neces-
sary service They should, however,
be employed on yearly basis rather
than to have their livelihood de-
pend ON charge for conducting
tours through the Capitol.
THE work performed by the
guides is dignifled, and they have
contributed much to the education
and enlightenment of individuals
and groups who make Washing
