REPORT
FROM WASHINGTON

The first legislative action be-
fore this Session was the passage
of the 10 percent increase in pay
for members of the Armed Fore
es. / voted for this bill because
just could not reconcile my idea
of fair play and justice with CIV
ing everybody in this country and

true citizen in the defense of his
country is something that is too

in money. That fact, however,
must not be confused with the
duty of the government to remove
some of the care, strain and wor-

flag.

House limits debate in the in
terest of efficiency were carried
to an extreme in this case. 1t
was "take it or leave it, rule
where there was no opportunity
for amendment and very little for
debate
