Congressional Dignity Vanishes In Closing Hours
In the closing hours of the 1955 House session Congress dissolves into boisterous humor with singing and acts of playful performance. Morse in the Senate reads a long education aid speech as colleagues drift away. In the House Rep Priest starts a chorus, gallery visitors join, Chelf performs harmonica, and a page from Pontiac sings The Lord’s Prayer. The session ends with a lighthearted harmony despite earlier tensions.
