Washing^ton, March 26. — Moviego ers who saw the fHm, “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington,” may have got! the impression that session®, of con- ’ gr^s are apt to be dramatic and ex-' citing affaii*s. As a matter of fact, i resentatlves usually put on a .pretty j. dull .show. Oniy once in a blue'moon | is there anything of emotion^ or dra-j matic inteiest in the delbates in either hou.se. Senators and house menvhere as a rule keep their tempers under pietty, close control w'hen they are out on the, floor where the-visitors in the galler ies can .see and hear them, .\fter they adjoiuTi, what they say to each other is something else again. ’ There came near to being an ex hibition of fireworks when the senate tegaii to discuss the amendments of- feied by Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico to his bill to keep federal of fice holdei*s out of politics, which be came a law last year.
