After adopting this amendment, the subcommittee rejected, five to four, an amendment by Senator Reed (Rep. Pa.) on return leaders in Congress said the Reed 1 amendment would be offered again on the floor and that an effort would be made to obtain unanimous consent to suspend the rules.

Their labors will be long remembered at home and abroad. They lived and wrought during the bickerings of discontent and the turmoil of war. Assailed by willful slanderers and unthinking critics, they carried on with unbending will to achieve" a goal of great benefit for all the people. The first labored to create a new era a new deal oy es-1 tablishing and fostering a new form of government, guarantee-1 ing freedom to its citizens. The 1 other set himself to the task of preserving the government so formed for a like national benefit, faeh succeeded, and -their names arc written among the stars.

Men of like courage and purpose now are assuming the burdens of government and business, and in tomorrow years they will be classed with the good and great. The chaos of the late depression is dissolving into regular forms of government and procedure. In this day of unusual effort to restore the customary business of our own country, may we' not only forward a plan for recuperation, but also refrain from carping criticism. The needs of our country demand our best judgment and concerted effort. -De E.
