WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (U.P) — House Speaker Sam- Rayburn (D. Tex.), acknowledging the widespread criticism of the nation’s war congress, appealed to the American people to ‘judge “their representatives “in the light of reason” because the eyes of the ‘world are directed toward next week’s elections.

‘to. meet ‘its war responsibilities. He

spoke last night over “the: blue network. Every law, every dollar, Rayburn said, necessary for the prosecution of the war, has been made available by this congress.
