 IDEA ATTACKED
Bv FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Jan. g. (UP) You know what those homeless con- gressmen are up to now? They're talking about solving their housing shortage by building themselves an apartment house. Nothing elaborate Just a modest little $3000,0O0 place.
 That fixes congressman. but what about the countless ordinary citi- zens. like othman, who also nave housing problems?
 Othman. for example, lives 1n a one-roomer barely big enough to hold a nine by 12 rug. Other mem bers of the WWNPL-WaShington- ions who need places to live-are in the same fix, if not worse: we claim congressman can pull ms bed down out of the wall. too.
 You listening fellers? If you adopt the resolution of Rep. Adolph Sabath of Illinois to build your selves an apartment house and an-- other for your clerks, then you'd better reserve some space for the WWNP. Or we'll hex you. Person ally, I'll get my uncles to vote against you. I've got a lot Of uncles.
 What I mean is were're irked. we can't rent houses. We can't buy em we can't get the material to build em. And we can't even pass a bill to do something about 1t.
 Rep. Sabath points out that you lads are so worried about your housing problems you don't get your work done. What about, say, Oth- mans work?
 Catch on. congreSSmen? If were going to suffer and bump our heads every time we go to the kitchenette in the basement, we wonder II maybe congressman could get along for while without new $3,OOO,OOO apartment.
 In the last session of congress, Rep. Sabath (Who lives in suite at the Mayfower hoteD thought $2 OOO 900 would be about right for congressional apartment house. The committee on public buildings and grounds never got around to it.
 Now comes Rep. Sabath again, reintroducing his bill, saying that he's doing so on request Of many members and employees, and adding $l ,O0O, 900 more to the cost. Some thing plain and simple, Congress man Sabath says he wants: Some thing close to the Capitol, some- thing at a reasonable rent.
 Understand, now, I'm not saying this in a spirit of carping criticism, but I've got some ideas of my own on the housing of congressman. The legislators have three magnifi- cent, hand-tooled office buildings, equipped with two restaurants de- luxe two cafeterias. several lunch rooms, barber shops, beauty par lors, steam rooms and gynasiumS.
 Every congressman has suite Of two large rooms. thickly carpeted and furnished with mahogany tables and easy chairs. There are tall book cases for those who like to read, running water, indirect lamps, daily maid service, steam heat, telephones plenty of sunlight, handsome vistas from every window. and fresh towels every morning.

Washington, D. C. President
