Thii man of wealth who today indulg es in unwarranted criticism of gov ernment officials, reflating upon their honesty as well as their intelli gence, must not be surprised if thoughtless persons whp hear them and .Hccciit as true theif cynical state- ments^hould tomorrow defy the gov ernment they have heard* denounced jilPcorrupt. Let me speak of the congress of the United States, where for twenty years J have served in house and sen ate. Eecauie “the” personnel changes every two years I think I have served with two thousand men. They come from every walk of life and neces sarily from every section of the coun try. The thing about these men that has most impressed me is their ab solute honesty. As a rule they are poor, men. Daily they are subjected to temptations, and yet of the two thousand “"men- with whom 1 have served, 1 know of only two whb were convicted of di.shone.st acts. Those two were elected in political .landslides. In a congressional district where one of the great political parties is- nor- rnally in complete control an unwor thy man may .secure the nomination of a minority party liecause it is be lieved to be of no value. A political landslide may then sweep the candi dates of the minority party, including this unworthy individual,, into office. But I can give you the comforting as surance that ’political accidents’ are seldom re-elected to congress. . . . If I had any criticism to make of our national legislators it would not be that they are lacking either ^ chhraoter or intelligence, but that at times they are lacking in political courage. Let me say that they are poor men and poverty makes cowards of many men. Aa a rule when a con gressman dies he leaves debts, not assets. When a legialatoTr sacrifices a conviction and votes as some group of constituents desires, it is not due to fear for himself, but fear for hia dependents. Theae men, when elected to office, retire from their profes sions and business. When they are retired from public life they cannot return to their former avocations with much hope of success. While I admit some justification for the criti cism as to lack of political courage, r assert that those who are willing to sacrifice their- convictions in mat ters of principle are the exception, not the rule. . . . ‘II am consejous bf fhy own wewk* ness and of my failure to achieve the goal I would set for all pulblic ser vants.

Chairmar Ward of the senate fi- naheq committee said during the day. that tne^ free confer#?nce report on the general appropriation wseaaure- was not ready and members of the social security free conference al.so .stated they had not finished drafting of their report. There was no indication of when thc.si' important bills* would cume from the free conferences. By a roll! call vote of 34 to 30, the house adopted, after long debate, the recommendation of a sppcial commit- t(H! for an expenditure of $35,000 for improvement of its chamber. The improvements would include replacement of the metal ceiling with an ornamental acoustical msterial; installation of an indirect lighting system; installation of air-condition ing equipment; remodeling of the speaker’s desk, rostrum and the west end of the hall; and reconditioning of the furniture. After Representative Adams, chair man of the committee, read the re port, he was asked-by Representative Bennett^ chairman of the ways and means committee, what he considered the most important ringle item. Adams answered “lighting” taasert- ing the present “poor” system caused many headaches to members. Bennett stated he thought the pro posals for the ceiling, lighting and furniture improvements, t o t a 1 i n g about $15,000, enough for this year.
