As Washington Sees It Special to The Chronicle. Washington. Oct. 26. — With the ; most important legislation of the year; taken care of—the law to draft boys: of 18 and 19, and the new tax bill—J congressmen are now leaving Wash- 1 ington in droves to go hdme and re port to their constituents on what, they have been doing during the past two years and why they should bej re-elected. Their action on these .two impor-j tant pieces of legislation before elec tion came as a surprise to jnost po litical analysts here. It was presumed until recently that the politically- minded members of congress would insist that the'vote be postponed un-! til after they were safely re-elected, i But recent criticism of congress for! being more interested in politics than : in the welfare of their country struck | home — and congressmen began to; realize that they might fare better in 1 the election if they showed the peo- | pie they were willing to face these i issue* and have their vote on them considered in determining their eli- l ^gibility for re-election. . |' \ Congressional leaders have agreed that congressmen are now r entitled { to a short pre-election visit to their i home states and that they are to be commended for their quick action on legislation which is of such vital con- _ . - cem to the people of the country.
