Albert also said the Democrat controlled Congress, a frequent target of Mr. Agnew, was the greatest in history as far as anticrime and anti pollution legislation was concerned. Rep. Albert was in Utah for appearances on behalf of Democratic Congressional candidates K. Gunn McKay and Bob Nance. Albert appeared at an airport conference, visited the First Presidency of the Church of Saints Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y at crowds the with hands shook at and spoke two $50 receptions a McKay Day buffet in Weber State College Student Union Building, Ogden.

Albert said a Congressman should have a variety of qualifications, but one of the principal ones is that the 435 men in the House stay on the job so they can get things done. I would like to ask the vice president, whom I personally like, whether he meets that prerequisite, he said. The congressman asserted that if Agnew had indeed stuck to his duties as presiding officer of the Senate, he would realize that the 91st Congress has done more to extend federal help in the fight against crime and pollution than any Congress in history. He charged that the Nixon had created high interest and low housing starts, high prices and fewer jobs, and had increased the rate of inflation while the recession deepened. ion American homes and businesses were burglarized at a rate of three evevry minute for a loss of $438 million.
