The first such investigation by
Congress was in 1854, when lobby-
ing had become a national dis-
grace. The last was in 1950 when
Congress did nothing then to
make the Lobbying Act stronger.
There are a lot of defects in the
present law but the basic one
seems to be this: Congress re-
quired lobbyists to register with
Congress but did not appoint any
individual or group to police the
law and the lobbyists.

All The Way, Please
Hut dog lover* will be pleased to know that their
favorite delicacy is "up to snuff” in nutritional val-
ues. This important information we learn from-The
Manchester Guardian, of all places. (The British have
been hot dog-conscious since 1939 when Mrs. Roose-
velt served franks to King George VI and Queen Eliza-
both at the White House.)
We also learn that the inevitable has happened-
the hot dog and the atom have met. At the University
of Chicago the effects of gamma-irradiation in a cobalt-
60 furnace are being observed, with the hope that the
hot dog will keep its lovely red color and not develop
any "side flavors." Bacteriological studies ye also in
hand to keep it from turning green.
The hot dog had to wait 2,000 years, as well as 100
years past its popularization in Frankfurt, for this
great occasion, but at last the dietitians have it in hand.
They have come up with the pronouncement that it is
nutritionally the equal in protein and amino acids of
the ordinary cuts of lamb, pork and beef.- V
Fortified with this knowledge, we say with dear
conscience: "Hot dog all the way, please, mustard,
pickle, onion and chili.”

street force has been busy at work

Seagrave, assessor-collector for
the county. In 1954 the assessed
value of Denton County property
was 330 million and in the year
following. 1955, the value had
risen to $33 million. No doubt 1956

As Lt. Gen. Hubert R. Harmon,
“ defense we can get fur our money. These citizen-sol
diets, composed of Denton fathers, sons, brothers and
sweethearts, give their country more in potential pro-
tection than they ever receive in dollars.
For another thing, the spirit of volunteer service
which is the foundation of the National Guard, is in
the very best tradition of our American way of life.
Our strength as a nation depends upon our historic
preference for doing a job voluntarily before it is
forced upon us without choice.
- Appropriately, the day chosen for the 49th Divi-
sion’s recruiting drive falls on the birthday anniver-
sary of George Washington, commander-in-chief of the
first voluntary militia system and founder of our na-
tion. The success of the voluntary approach to matters
military is forcefully illustrated by the fact that the
National Guard, with voluntary service as its keynote,
is the oldest military organization in the nation. Its
history dates back over more than 300 years, well be-
fore the Revolutionary War. And since the end of that
conflict, Guardsmen have fought for their country in
every battle in which it has engaged.
Fighting does not stand alone in the Guard records
—the peacetime seryice of these citizen-soldiers is sn
impressive one. We know of its work in time of emer-
gency and civil disaster in this state. During the Waco
disaster in 1953, Guardsmen were among the first on
the scene to aid and comfort the stricken. In other in-
ices, the Guard has served valiantly at the Galves-
and Johnston floods, and at Texas City. The list is
a House committee, also made up
equally of Democrats and Republi-
can*. got involved in intense par-
tisanship.
The chairman of that committee,
the late Rep. Frank Buchanan (D-
Pa),'described lobbying at the end
of the inquiry as a “billion-dollar
industry.”
A report by his committee dis.
dosed that 133 corporations spent
332,134.SU on "activities relating
to attempts to influence legislation
between 1947 and 1950" although
they had reported only $750,000 un-
der the Lobbying Act of 1946. Thir-
ty companies refused to tell what
the Democrat* and Republicans on
the committee let their investiga-
tion degenerate into a political

for a full-scale conference aimed
at settling their differences, the
Foreign Office announced Monday.
Its statement said preliminary

the disputed Buraimi oasis, in the

contain large oil deposits.
Britain contends the oasis be-
