Observes Birthday AT Work

North Cardinals distinguished
statesman, Congressman R. l..
Deughton, observed his 82nd
birthday yesterday, on the job,
''as usual" which has been his
usual celebration for many years.

to be happy on his birthday judg-

recent speech than ever before
since I've been chairman" Con-
gresham Doughton said.
He became chairman in 1888.
What the President said few
days back was that the respon-
sibility for the liberalization of
unemployment compensation bill
