Congress- Average
Tops q Law a Day
For Last 1853 Years

For every day for the last 1853
years Congress has passed at least
one new law. On the average it
hasn't even taken time off for
Saturdays. Sundays or holidays.
In all, 70,124 laws have been
written into the statute books be-
tween March 4, 1889, and Janu-'
ary 3. 1952-roughly 430 a year.
That interesting bit of informa-
Ition-startling. no doubt, to those
ldoubters of congressional dill
Igence-was laid before his COL
leagues yesterday by Representa-
tive Mack. Republican, Of Wash
lington. He got it from the Library
lof Congress.
More than half this legal gold
Imine-39, ,073-were private bills,
dealing largely with the relief of
specific individuals. But the 31,-
IO52. public laws-those Of broader
lapplication-still averaged out at
better than one every other day.

% national convention votes left
over.
Mr.. Bulkley's hackers have tried
in vain to get Stevenson to let
them link their slate to him. They
also have failed to interest Gov.
Frank LauSche of Ohio.
Some Democrats here believe
that Senator Kefauver's delegate
total at convention time will not
match the total of those who are
opposed to having him as the
nominee.
Senator Kerr's Theory.
Senator Kerr of Oklahoma, who
thinks he will have more than 100
delegates 4 by the convention in
July, apparently is working on
that theory.
The Kerr followers say that the
convention won't take Senator
Kefauver, Senator Russell or w
Averell Hartman, the Mutual Sc
curity director, who is New York S
nominal "favorite SON."
Senator Kerr apparently be-
lieveS he has chance to step
into the gap, if he can inherit
Southern support now lined up
for Senator Russell.
Those who still hope to draft
Gov. Stevenson agree with the
Kerr camp, but also include Sen
ator Kerr among those they don't
believe the convention will take.

Mr.. Olson was his assistant. Both

Mr.. Olson on Tuesday refused to

closures from a still incomplete
committee investigation.
The check on Mr.. Olson's in
