LAWMAKERS PUZZLED
Congressmen and Senators are in a dither about the subsidy bill. They just don't know which way to jump. They can get in bad with big money by voting against the bill banning subsidies, and they can lose votes by voting for it.
They all believed everything was greased to kill the administration's subsidy plans and take another slap at "that man in the White House," in spite of all that legislative representatives of labor unions could do.
Some of our most influential solons can't hear labor when big money talks.
But, alas, and also alack! You know how it is when women get mixed up in business. Well, that's what happened in Washington, as a radio commentator says. Women representing large groups of housewives swarmed all over the Capitol. And they buzzed your Congressmen and Senators.
And, strangely enough, they were heard. Yes, sir; these women have votes. And they know how to use them.
And so, as we said before, our solons are in a dither.
