THE CONGRESS: Happy Half Dozen

Last fortnight all six women members of Congress—Arkansas’ Senator Hattie Caraway, Representatives Caroline O’Day (N. Y.), Edith Nourse Rogers (Mass.), Mary T. Norton (N. J.), Nan W. Honeyman (Ore.), Virginia E. Jenckes (Ind.)— lined up chain-gang fashion for a group photograph (see cut). They had gathered to honor the prize winner of a contest conducted by the Women’s Division of the Democratic National Committee.

Last week, all six members separately told the press that they liked their jobs and planned to keep them if they could. All are up for re-election this year. Most articulate reason for wanting to stay put was House Labor Committee Chairman Mary Norton’s: “To obtain equal opportunity for this country’s sweated labor.”
