82nd Congress Was Most
Inquisitive In History
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON?The 82nd Con
gress was the most inquisitive to
date according to the Legislative
Reierence Service of the Library |
of Congress, which answered some
50,000 inquiries from "the boys on j
the Hill."
Known as the congressman's
brain trust, the Service attempts to
supply legislators with impartial,
accurate and comprehensive in-'
formation on almost every subject. I
The number of these inquiries has
increased in 20 years more than
5.000 per cent.
Rurnis Walker, administrative
officer, says every member of both
Houses of this Congress has used
the service. They asked every kind
of question, from locating a citation
of law or a quotation to major
surveys of ground water resources
in the U. S. and big studies of such
subjects as strategic mineral re
sources. Some questions can be
answered in seconds. Ohlers take
weeks to complete. A survey on
American Indians filled some 1,500
pages.
Mr. Walker says congressmen
get the answers to most of their
questions. The Reference Service
has some 10 million books and mil
lions of documents within its
reach. It has at its command the
most exhaustive and detailed in
dex of Federal law in exislance.
It clips and tiles some 000 news
papers and periodicals.
"And." says Mr. Walker, "if the
experts don't know the unswers.
they can usually find them some
way. We get some 'dillies' too.
Someone wanted to knout where
there are markets in the govern
ment for human hair. We found
hair is used in optical instruments.
One member asked for a pieee of
poetry to commemorate the birth
of triplets. That we couldn't find,
but Kinton Kilmer, son of the poet
Joyce Kilmer, wrote one for him."
The department's staff numbers
up to 175 at times and ranges from
messengers to experts in such
fields as foreign trade, public ad
ministration, industrial organiza
tion, international relations and
labor problems.
"It's our job to translate docu
ments, seek correct quotations to
fit a situation, find appropriate
commemorative poems, compile
voting records and refuse to anj
swer questions for use )n quiz pro
grams," Mr. Walker says.

WASHINGTON ? The nation's
Capital continues to draw the:

The City Fathers argue that, af
ter all. Washington offers a super
selection of vacation activities,
many of them free, including a
gander at the newly renovated
White House. "We expect it to be
a good summer for visitors." Clar

told me. "From March until the
end of June we had more than a
million and a half visitors. We ex
pect them to keep coming."
Mr. Arata says it's easy to get a
room, even an air-conditioned one,
and people cad take their sight

as the New Jersey turnpike, the

The chance to see the newly re
done White House is a great draw
ing card. No pass is needed. It is
open to everybody Tuesdays
through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to
12 noon. On July Fourth more
than 7.000 were clocked through.
The committee maintains a tour
ist information service in the Even
ing Star Building and even offers
to lind rooms for visitors who come
in without them.
On Sunday nights there are free
open-air concerts. The Marine Band
plays at the Jefferson Memorial,
the Air Force Hand on the Capitol
steps. Pfc. Eddy Fisher, "lowest
paid high-priced entertainer in the
country," is soloist with the Army
