Senators Attacked For Playing Hooky
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN { Washington, April 11-(UP)-Stay Dn the job, senators, or we taxpayers might dock you whenever you sneak out. You hear that? We might cut your pay.
 I wouldn't be writing this, except tor the fact that a number of law makers walked out when Sen. Robert I'M. Lafollette of Wisconsin joined Sen. Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky in denouncing them for playing hooky.
 It was pretty spring day. will say that. Too nice for listening to speeches. Barkley made speech, anyhow, in which he said his friends on both sides of the aisle were guilty of chronic absenteesim. The cham Der was peppered with empty seats; a few more seats emptied before Barkley finished. The boys then be- gan debating the lend-lease bill.
 Lafolletre took look around the room later, saw more red leather than senatorial faces, and demanded time to make a speech.
 Several senators sneaked out with nut discovering that he intended to talk about them.
 We must remember that this the show room of the U. s. Senate" he cried. 'The other day I saw 25 or
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-11

30 army privates in uniform, with service bars on their chests, in the gallery. There were six senators present by actual count. I couldn't help but wonder what impression these young men from the fox holes got of the U. s. Senate"
 Lafollette recommended three things:
 l. Docking of senator's salaries whenever they are absent without permission.
 2. Forcing them to get permission when they leave.
 3. An end to the pract of count ing them present when tn eyre off some place lse, maybe getting pedicure.
 Not that I think 1t is necessary for them to act as though they were in the fifth grade at school and had to get permission to get out of the door," Lafollette added.
 Several more senators walked out without holding up their hands. Sen. Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine said he agreed it was high time that the senate do something to restore the public'S respect for senators.
 And I remember once when I was serving in the House." Barkley interrupted. We were having great deal of trouble getting quorum and we adopted :',le to deduct the pay of the absent ones.
 You should have seen the trains They were crowded with congress men,"
 Lafollette thanked the gentleman from Kentucky for his observation and continued:
 '"Take this morning when this ses- sion opened. There wert 32 members in the chamber when 1t was an- nounced that 39 were here. think that if we got the senators into the chamber at the opening of the ses- sion they might find it interesting enough to stick around"
 That, of course, is what Lafollette thinks. The fact is that by the time he'd finished his remarks, there were only 26 senators left on the job. Including him. But 1t was pretty day: Green grass, butterflies, pink dogwood in bloom. A strong temptation to fore- go oratory on lend-lease and-or the Mexican water treaty. Stuff like that is enough to drive feller bat ty, Sen. Lafollette, when he's got spring fever. Let's give 'em another chance, Senator, before we cut their pay.

Flaws Cited

Gov. Kelly today was asked 10

Legislature to revise the Michigan
Unemployment Compensation law
drastically.
The demand came from Georgc
F. Adde's, secretary-treasurer O.

sistance Ia workers whose un-
employment checks are delayed
or who have been disqualified

In a telegram to Paul V. Nc
Mutt, federal security admins

Employment Service for forcing
workers to accept low pay jobs

lations requiring the furnishing Of
international forms to laid off
employees the UAW-CIO has asked
Prosecutor Gerald K. O'Brien for
an opinion about penalties that
can be invoked against such EN-
