the subject of programs for sightseers
when visitors enter either the Senate or
House galleries they should be handed a folder
which sets forth what each congressman is doing
that particular day. The folder should explain
that members not on the floor probably are at.
tending committee meetings are in their offices
When visitors only few members on the
floor maybe making a speech and couple
of others yawning at him-they are liable TO get
the impression that are not attending TO our
duties that are loafng somewhere or running
around kissing babies
The truth of the matter is that the average
congressman works twice as hard as the average
person in private business He has thouSan nd and
one chores the voter never hears about"
Representative Mundt heaved a deep Republi
can sigh and continued
This time actually spent the floor in de-
bate represents mere fraction of his working
schedule. The program should explain the activi
ties of the various committees and the vast
amount of spade work that is done in them before
any measure gets to the floor.
The way il is now many visitors see only the
empty seats and go away dSgusted. They return
home and condemn Congress-"
Representative Mundt said the American peo
pie must be brought to closer understanding of
what Congress means to them. He warned that
# the people ever lose their faith in Congress,
Democracy will be lost too.
MIR Mundt was equally vehement about max

ALEXANDER WOULD
Limit AR MY SIZE

CASTERS, Italy, Sept. 1s.-R--
Field Marshall Sir Harold Alex
ander said tonight he had recon-.
mended to the combined Allied
chiefs of staff that the future
strength of the Italian army be
limited to a small, highly trained
force capable Of UNFOLDING ma
tional prestige"
He said the Army should be
capable of defending the Italian
borders, but should not constitute
an international menace"
The Supreme Allied Commander
IN the Mediterranean made his
comments in an interview in which
he disclosed that Allied occupation
Of Italy would end with the settle
ment of the dispute over Venezia
Giuia territory, now being aired
before the Big Five Council OF
Foreign Ministers in London.
AFTER the Venezia Giuia ques-
ton is settled" he added, mo Al.
lied troops will remain south OF
the Alps"
He said American Air Force units
and the remainder Of the British
Desert Air Force left in Italy
would consist of bornbers and
fighters directly charged with sup
porting the occupation troops in
VeneZia Giulia.
He added that the port Of Naples
and other big ports would revert
to Italian jurisdiction.
Alexander asserted that the
Italian Navy should be limited in
size to small, mobile, efficient
force" He said the question OF
Italy's armed might would possibly
be decided in the peace treaty.
He disclosed also that he will
lee his post as Supreme Com.
mander by the end Of the month
and expressed the hope he would
be succeeded by his deputy, Gen.

the busting of the Everett's Mill

been granted American citizenship,
sand that according to American
/ law a son born in America would
be U. S. Citizen.
After the defense finished, Mr..
= Justice Tucker, presiding. asked
Sir Hartley Shawcross, Attorney
general and chief prosecutor,
whether he was going to invite the
jury ito come to the conclusion
that this man is British citizen. "
When Shawcross said he would
not press the point, Tucker said:
IT think everybody must agree
that the evidence which. has been
brought by the defense is really
overwhelming. That leaves us with
only count three effective"
The prosecution then attempted
to prove that a man who processes
to be British subject and accepts
passport is bound to support the
state even if he is an alien, say.
ing ''iti S unthinkable that such a
person should not owe a cores
ponding duty Of allegiance to the
crown"
The defense argued that a non.
resident alien owned no allegiance,
and that the crown has no jurisdic-
ton to issue a passport to an Am
erican citizen.
The defense called seven wit
nesses, including Joyce's younger
brother, Edwin Quentin Joyce, a
British civil servant.
