With this terrific pressure, the pseudo-li berals won by a vote of only 217 to 212. Dorn said “Some members who voted to pack the Rules Commit tee, will now feel compelled to vote against many planks in the wild spending Los Angeles plat form. It was a bad mistake on the part of our Party leaders. It did not help their prestige and it will not help pass their pro gram.” The House Rules Committee has served the cause of good go vernment. About 5,500 bills were introduced in the last Congress. The Rules Committee screened the bills and studied them which gave' the American people time to also study the issues involved. Now the Rules Committee may become a tool of the Party leaders and the Minority Pressure groups, but the House will have to answer to the American people.
