NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 49,
A code of fair conduct should be
written into the rules of Congress
under which investigating COM
mittees could operate, Senator
O'Conor, Democrat. of Maryland
said today.

posal for such a code In a speech

Senate and House.
H Outlines Points of Code.
4 This would make it possible
for all prospective witnesses to
know in advance the procedures
governing their testimony -. -"
he said
\ Here are some of the points he
would include:
/ l. A witness should be afforded
ample time to prepare himself
IIfor Interrogation and should be
notified in advance of any allega-
tions made against him.
2. He should have the right to
advice by counsel during the
examination.
3. In public hearings, any per-
son who is the subject of an
investigation should be permitted
to submit questions in writing to
the committee chairman for cross

4. A witness accused before a
committee should be given reason
able time to file in writing an
answer to the charges or to appear
in person to answer the allega-
tionS.
3. That right should also be
applied to witnesses who wish
to reply to derogatory references.
8. No public statement should
be released about matters heard
in executive (private) sessions
which relate to the character or
reputation of citizen without
the approval Of majority of the
committee.
The Senator recognized that
there is a duty upon Congress to
ascertain the facts to form the
basis OF future legislation" but
pointed out that there is also "the
obligation to avoid unjustified
damage to the good reputation of

This and That

A-feudin' and a-fghtin' isn't confined
to the human species.
Rats and squirrels fight. too.
Templeton Jones' pet rat. coyly named
Ratio. is at it these days with one Of
Jones' favorite squirrels.
The squirrel has no name, which is
just as well, since there are dozen of
them in the yard and they all look alike.
It is the one with the large ears,
though.
The pet rat should be dead by this
time.
He has had a taste of red squill, but
came up smiling, if that is the proper
way to speak Of rats. Maybe one should
consider carefully. before saying any,
thing against anything. That is the way
things are, nowadays.
Templeton Jones has no love for rats.
He knows that many millions of dollars
are lost in these United States, due to
their inroads. Their diseaSe-spreadin
proclivities are well known.
Still, Jones has a soft spot in his
heart for Ratio, 10 half-grown specimen,

Of looking out Of his hole before making
run to the bird feeding station, where,

That is Ratios way and Proust might
