is marketed. The head which con
tains the vital organs is removed
by the packers The sand vein is
harmless but for the sake of ap
pearance should be removed. Most
raw shrimp sold inland are frozen

Congressman Ralph Gwinn
Of New York Charged
Willi Hein^ Leader
The ae'ivities of Republican
Representative Ralph Gwinn of
New Yolk illustrate the way in
which many GOP Congressmen
cooperate closely with special in
terest lobbies.
Congressman Gwjnn was ie
scribed by the “Louisville Cour
ier Journal" as an integeral part
of an extremt* right-wing lobby,”
The active agency of this lobby
is the Committee for Constitu
tional Government.
Representative Gwinn’s chief
service to the CCG is his Con
gressional frank, through which
the lobby is able to get much of
its material printed cheaply and
mailed free. The New York Con-j
gressman also inserts into the
Congressional Record large
amounts of anti-administration
material, which then becomes el
igible for free mailing.
The Committe for Constitution
al Government is headed by Ed
ward A. Kumely, who during
World War One acted as a Ger
man propagandist and, after the
war, was found guilty and sent to
jail on charges of violating the
Trading with the Enemy Act. He
was pardoned by President Cool
idge.
The CCG has been a valuable
ally of many other big lobbies.
When the real estate lobby sought
decontrol of rents, the CCG took
part m the campaign. When a, na
tional health program was pro
posed, the CCG fought it along
side the anti-health lobby. It has
long been a supporter of the Na
tional Association of Manufactur
ers in the prove to have corporate
and high bracket individual in
come taxes lowered.
Representative Wright Patman,
<D) (Tex.) described CCG opera-1
lions in these words:
“Practically every piece of
propaganda turned out during the
speeches, articles and statements
from Ed Rumely’s phony con
stitutional committee has been
saturated with the obnoxious odor
of faseistic bias . . You cannot es
cape the fact that what Ed Rurne
lv and his committee are trying
to perpetrate upon the American
people is a violently reactionary
j government.”
It is this operation that is,
through wide use of Congressman
! Gwinn's frank, paid for in part
by the taxpayers.
In one case, several million
pieces of material attacking such
programs as rent control, federal
[aid to education and public hous
ing were mailed in 900,000 envel
opes. For these envelopes on
which a special message was
printed, Gwinn paid the govern
ment a price of less than two
tenths of a cent each.
House mailing room officials
estimated that the cost of stuffing
the envelopes came to nearly $3,
700. Further government-paid la
bor was used to pack the enve
lopes in boxes, and the first-class
postage fee footed by the tax
payers amounted to $27,000.
Further evidence of the New
York Congressman’s close affilia
tion with the CCG is found in cor
respondence on file with the
House Lobby Committee, show
ing that he has sent copies of his
speeches to Rumely for editing
before having inserted in the Con
gressional Record.
JUST THE SAME
At Wakelon the other day, Her
bert Privette and Tommy Temple
were discussing a certain lass who
passed them in the hall.
”1 don’t see how you can see
she's got legs like Grable," said
Herbert.
"She has the same number,”
Tommy replied.
Everything in a modren home
is controlled by a switch except
the children.
