The article focuses on the political potentials of the U.S. Representative Howard W. Smith of the Eighth Virginia Congressional District. According to the author Smith, a lawyer, and statesman deserves recognition from the actionaries whose chores he has done so quietly and efficiently as a member of the House Rules Committee. Smith's latest exploit gives something of the measure of the man. He has gathered up a handful of the scores of bills recently introduced in the House to deliver the country from the menace of communism and domination by aliens and thrown them together into an omnibus bill to make it unlawful to overthrow the government of the U.S. and for other purposes.
