COLLEGE MEN
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NBA Service Writer
Washington, Nov. 14.—“Many
people have an idea that congress
men are pretty dumb,” writes a
correspondent. “Just how true is
this?” he asks. “As to brains and
education, how do they stack up?”
Brains? That’s largely a mat

they stack up extremely well.

Congress, 74 were college men.

somewhat from the 68th and the
