Rep. Jacob Thorkelson, of Montana, anti-Semitic congressman defeated for renomination today consumed twelve of the 44 pages of the appendix in the Congressional Record with his typical anti-Jewish diatribes. If he continues his present output, his words in the appendix should reach an all-time record of 500,000, at a cost to taxpayers of $17,000 for printing alone. Today’s output cost $480.
