 Shots Rang Out In House

JUNEAU,-Where was Moses when the lights went out?
 And where was Bartlett when the shots rang out?
 Alaska's Delegate to Congress was just starting through the door into the House Chamber at Wash ington, DC., on Monday, March l, when the shots were fired by Puerto Rican nationalist sympath- izerS.
 "I knew it wasn't firecrackers, :" Bartlett said, "so I hopped behind the biggest and broadest column I could find"
 The printers ink which got into the delegates blood when he served many years as a reporter and editor on Alaska newspapers may be credited with keeping him away from the bullets. He had stopped, like any good newsman, to look over a wire service tele- type in the House anteroom before entering the chamber that after noon.
