gressman’s lot is not a happy one.
~ Oh, it looks nice enough, on pa
per. Salary, $12,500 a year. Ex
pense money, $2,500, tax free.
More expense money for hired
help. More for stationery. More
for travel allowance.
Then it must be fun going home,
the big frog in the local political
puddle.
But after talking with Congress
WANT - ADS
men on this subject, I have reach~
ed this conclusion: : |
The Senate? Well, if you insist.
That job lasts for six years. The
house? Sorry. I've already taken a
job as a plumber’s helper’s helper.
All 435 representatives must be
elected this fall. The competition,
in most districts, has been intense.
The alleged lucky fellow who
gets the election has the job for
only two years. How would you
like to have your job open to all
comers every two years?
How would you like to have to
campaign—an expensive operation
-—over a congressional district in
an attempt to prove that you're
still the logical man, that you
should keep the job? :
How would you like the decision
to rest, finally, on many people
who will vote against you, not be
cause you are unfit, but because
of prejudice, or because of ignor
ance?
On the other hand, it isn’t flat
tering to know that many who
voted for you didn’t do so because
they thought you were fit, but be=-
cause of prejudice, or because of
ignorance. ' |
- But you get the job. Here are
some expenses you may have over
looked:
- For appearance’s sake, it’s best
to keep your house .in the home
district. You’ll have to keep an
other place here, of course, and
places in Washington are hard to
find and expensive.
- Those wonderful speeches you’ll
make. You’'ll want the voters to
have copies of them. So you’ll have
them printed, at your expense.
Good people from back home
will drop in to see you daily: You
are no cheapskate. So you'il take
them to dinner—and pick up the
check,
You'll kick in generously te your
party’s campaign fund, = :
All right. You won’t get rich,
but you make the grade. You
satisfy your voters, or at least 51
percent of them. You stay on.
But it probably will be years,
with 484 equally ambitious rep
resentatives around; before. you
have much influence.
"~ And it definitely will be, years,
since Congress uses the seniority
system, béfore you head any . im
portant committee. : :
~ When you're about to become a
big shot, what happens?
~ You're a Republican, and there’s
a Democratic iandslide. Or vice
versa. Out you go.
1 talked about this once with
Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.), a
Congressman for 16 years.
He recited the drawbacks, and
added: 3
“The worst of it is, you're for
ever criticized, criticized, criti
cized. I really can’t figure out why
anyone wants this job. I guess it
just gets in yoAur‘b]ood.: .
"It must ‘at that. For Short; like
most ‘of his colleagues, is cam
paigning for re-election like all get
out. jizt i
' That's why I think I'll stay!clear
of politics: If I must have a habit,
I'll get one easier to break. Like
opium or heroin.: it .

Marcus Sterling nosed his car |
out of his driveway into the quiet |
tiee-bordered street. The sun of
angther movning splaghed an- |
gularly throught the heavy foli- |
age, speckling the roadway. The |
house behind him was silent, ar-l
vogantly dignified. There was!
nothing about it to serve as a re- l
minder of the appalling tragedy |
barely more than 24 hours old. So
far as appearances went, the po
lice had abandoned interest in it.
Detective Cooper had completed
his outpost assignment on the
{ront porch the evening before.
Bevond that, later in the evening,
tliere had been only Lieutenant
Talent's visit, in company with T.
Brvan Steadman.
When Talent departed, he left
the door of Miriam Sterling’s
room unlocked, the key in the
door, by that gesture restoring the
house to its bereft household
Among the papers littered on the |
floor and in the contents of the
desk, Tzlent had found nothing to
reward his search for something
that might throw light on Miriam
Sterling’s puzzling transaction in
SIOO bills. l
Steadman’s search had been |

‘quiescence, papers and documents
that would be of concern to him
‘as Mrs, Sterling’s executor. It had
‘not been difficult for Talent to
gain the impression that Stead
man’s search had not proved
wholly satisfying to the lawyer ...
it had been too evident that he
went through drewers and com
partment’s a second time, more
carefully, obviously with some
thing particular in mind.
There had been another source
of disappiontment to Steadman,
cbvious to Talent. The lawyer and
Sterling had found no opportu
nity to be .to themselves.
* * *
From his place at the wheel,
Sterling did not glance back at
the house . Heading toward the en
trance to the Parkway, he chose
to take it for granted that he
‘might be followed. From behind
a clump of trees, or perhaps from
!a merging entrance, it was not
‘unreesonable to expect a car to
{all in line behind him inconspi
cuously. Before leaving the house,
he had avoided using the tele
\phone deciding in favor of a safer
opportunity elsewhere.
The perfunctory dispatch with
which yesterday afternoon's in
quest had been concluded was not
misleading Sterling. Little more
had been sought by the police
than to establish as a record that
his wife’s death was directly the
result of homicide. Sterling knew
that police machinery had only
lbegun to move. To that would be

the estate, for theft of the neck
lace was transmitted, Sterling
would have been glad to avert the
{iling of that claim, could he have
done so without attracting suspi
gion to himself. It gave him no
‘| pleasure when he learned from
| Steadman, in Talent’s presence,
that the necklece was to be re
garded as part of his inheriance
under Miriam’s will.
Sterling parked his car atmost
directly opposite the Vanzangdt
Funeral Parlors If he was heing
{followed, there could be nothing
to arouse suspicion in his visiting‘
there. An attendant, abjectly sor
rowful when he made his identity
known, showed Sterling to the
room in which Miriam’s: body lay,
the cover of the casket securely
in place. Sterling gave five min
uates to glancing over the signa
tures on the visitors’ register.
No one else had ‘ome in from‘
the street. The hour was early...
10 minues pest 9. Someone could
be keeping watch outside . . .
idling time at a nearby window.
But the telephone booth was not
in view from the sidewalk.
