Congressional News Comments When tio Quit rankly Congress should quit and go home The House of Representa tives has already completed most of the constructive legislation that can be expected of it during this session The Senate 'of course is lagging far behind with its work schedule and only a guess as to when theymay finally close up shop Under the "streamlining reorganization passed by Congress in 1947 Section 132 reads as follows: in time of war or during a national emer gency proclaimed by the President the two Houses shall adjourn sine die not later than the last day (Sundays excepted) in the month of July in each year unless otherwise provided by the Speaker Rayburn has held that we are still in a state of war 'and that an emergency exists and therefore Congress can remain in session without paying any attention to the above mentioned Reorganiza tion Act A majority of the Members of the House want to adjourn and get back to their home districts This seems like a sensible thing to do It Would be a good thing for the country if there were some way by which the last two or three weeks of Congress might be operated so as to avoid hastily considered unnecessary and faulty legislation which often is rush ed through during the closing days of any session urthermore if Con gress were to go home now they could not appropriate or spend any more money That in itself would be both objective and timely Also if Members were permitted to go home they would find out at first hand what the people in their di tricts are thinking about If this writer can properly interpret his mail the people are not asking for nor do they want most of the things Congress is continually proposing to do NOTICE EXAMINATION OR CERTIICATE A special examination for teach
