The attempted assassin
alton of members Of the
House Of Representatives
raises the question of how
Congress can protect itself
against a repetition and at
the same time keep it's DELHI
erations open to the public.
The immediate reaction
of the leadership of both
parties was to the effect
that it would not be prac-
tical = or in keeping with
American traditions = to
require the searching of all
persons entering the gallery.
The idea of placing armed
guards in the galleries, pre-
pared to shoot at a moments
notice, likewise met with
disfavor. It was looked upon
as bordering on dictatorial
practices.
Some consideration is be-
ing given to a suggestion
that the galleries be enclosed
with bullet-proof glass and
the debate on the floor
transmitted by an amplifier
system. Whatever is done.
however, there was agree
ment on one thing: the men,
bers of both House and SEN
ate must be protected from
a repetition of the murder
attempt by the gang of
Puerto Rican Nationalist.
The shooting shocked the
nervous system of most
House members, some af
whom - such as Majority
Leader Halleck and the AS
sistant Leader Mr.. Arends
= missed only by inches
teing struck by bullets. But
in less than "a hours the
legislative wheels were in
motion again.
The House Ways and
Means Committee put the
final touches on two tai
bills. One bill would contin.
lie all excise taxes due to ex.
pire April 1. 1t also would
reduce all excuses above IL
per cent to that figure.
This measure will lose

bill, known as the Revenue
