were filled to over-flowing with
tense spectators, were empty, ex-
cept for handful of tourists
satisfying their curiosity with a
brief visit to session Of Con-
gress. Voices of members, which
often rose hoarsely in the sharp
arguments over the labor bill,
had subsidized to more normal
tones.
The Consent Calendar
Each year, the Congress con-
siders legislation pertaining to
literally thousands of subjects,
many of which are remote from
any application to the daily lives
of most of US. Still, each subject
is important to groups of in
dividuals who feel that a parti-
cular bill should be enacted into
law. Many such items involve
little or no argument and are
passed without the debate which
punctuates the work on other
bills. These proposals find theil
way to the Consent Calendar
which is considered on the first
and third Mondays of each
month. Last Monday, 48 such
bills were presented to the
House. Of this number, 33 were
passed while Is were objected
to or passed over.
Wild Horses
Among the proposals approved
was one which would prohi5it
| the use of aircraft and motor
vehicles to hunt wild horses ano
burros on public lands in the
west. This bill, passed quickly
and without argument by the
House, was stimulated by re,
ports about cruel methods of the
hunting and capture of these
animals which provide a source
of horsemeat for dog and ca
food. While the bill was under
consideration in my committee,
received we'll over a thouSanC
kilograms and letters from per
sons throughout the country, ex
pressing iuStifiable indignation
over the reports Of cruelty t
these animals. During the eigh
and one-half months Of th'
present session, only the labor
reform bill has generated mor'
mail to my office than thi
measure.
Red China
Following the Consent Calen
dar on Monday, the House plung
ed into the consideration of |
bills, ranging through man
subjects from educational asSis
tance to the orphan children c
: veterans dying of service-cor
nected causes to a resolution eS

gress as opposed to the seatin
of Red China in the United M
