from some Senators who fear It
may give Congress BLACK eye".
The expense account was adopt.
ed Thursday by an overwhelming
vote in the House. II applies only
to representatives. Indications to-
day, were that the Senate may not
only refuse to approve a similar
increase for itself but may refuse
to let the House boost go through.
Sen. Edwin c. Johnson, D., Colo,
declared that the boost was a blow
at the integrity OF our hold the
line policy"
How can we hold the line for
other folks II we give ourselves an
increase?" he demanded.
Johnson particularly attacked
what he called the back door ap-
proach" by which the House tack
ed the proposal on an appropria-
ton bill instead of passing a sep
arate measure. This, he sadly
bound to give Congress a black
eye"
why don't they come right out
and have the honesty to say they
want to raise salaries?" he asked.
He also hit what he called an at
tempt to create special privilege"
for Congress by making the in
crease tax exempt.
There were other senators Of the
same opinion despite the fact that
one House doesn't usually interfere
with actions OF the other House
when they concern only itself.
