Charging that “the ugly issue of racial and religious bigotry has been injected in recent months into the proceedings of this body” Rep. Leon Sacks (Dem., Pa.) has called upon Congress to “halt this perfidious practice.” Although he did not refer by name to any of his colleagues in the House, Sacks made reference to recent statements attributed in the Congressional Record to Robert P. Lambertson (Rep., Kans.) and John E. Rankin (Dem., Miss.).
