t; the first meeting for the 76th
Cc gfcss of the committee on invalid
pe dons, of which Congressman John
Ls iiraki is chairman, the new rules
co'cMng the increased jurisdiction of
th i committee were tentatively adopt
ed add a sob-committee was appointed
to meet with the Senate committee on

'Jf ‘the new rules, on which the com

pk “There certainly is nothing nnfaPr

"i ve every right to criticize because

thorp prayers said in its behalf.
A resolution was passed which pfo
that the Senate chaplain shall

It looks as if the meofoers of both

ha vie decided that they need “outside”
help on all the big problems before
them this session.
