TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE 18TH DISTRICT:
"Windi'all Days"
The pending adjournment of
a session of Congress always
brings out into the open many
proposed bills which, if passed,
would provide a sizeable wind-
fall for some individual or
group. The Member who intro-
duces the legislation usually
does so at the request of some
of his constituents.
The bill usually has a very
innocent look and a substantial
degree of merit. But when all
of the facts are brought out in
the open, the ulterior purpose
becomes apparent. When this
occurs the Member sponsoring
the legislation will accept an
amendment striking out the ob-
jectionable part, or will with-
draw the legislation from fur-
ther consideration.
These situations are not dif-
ficult to detect during the pro-
longed debate that is possible
if the bill comes up in regular
order during the session. That
is the reason that most people
having a gimmick in a bill pre-
fer that it come up in the rush
of adjournment when the op-
portunity to debate it fully will
not be available. No doubt
some bills will pass during this
rush period having some wind-
fall, but there is a crew of Mem-
bers who stay in the Chamber
constantly during the last few
days in order to block as much
of this type of thing as pos-
sible.
Those who must object to the
consideration of such bills place
jthemselves in a position of be-
ing looked upon as an obstruc-
tionist of trouble-maker. For
this reason, the burden of doing
this job is usually spread among
a number of Members so that
the full impact of criticism will
not fall on any one person.
It is not difficult to tell when
I a bull’s-eye has been struck.
Within minutes after the ob-
jection is made, the pressure
goes on the objector to get him
to withdraw such objection. One
such bill that I was familiar
with and helped in blocking
passage of, brought a deluge
oi other Congressmen and Sen-
ators and a number of lobbyists.
However, the Member making
the objection stood his ground.
Result: no windfall.
! To give you some idea of
| what happens during the last
day or two of a session, on
July 25th the House met at 10
a.m. after several committee
I meetings, disagreed with the
Senate Amendments to the
Foreign Aid Bill and appointed
conferees for a conference to
work out a solution; adopted a
resilution providing for certain
rules during the balance of the
week; took up and cleared for
the President twenty separate
House bills; agreed to Senate-
House conference reports on
nine bills; took up, debated and
voted on the highly controvers-
ial1 housing bill; passed and
cleared for the President a Sen-
ate bill to amend the Interna-
tional Wheat Agreement Act;
took up and debated H. R. 8000,
a bill to prohibit the serving of
alcoholic beverages to airline
passengers while in flight;
adopted an amendment to this
bill and passed the bill; adopted
eight resolutions citing witness-
es for contempt of the House
of Representatives by refusal to
answer questions before the
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities; debated, amended and
passed a bill to provide insur-
ance for flood damaged areas;
passed a tax readjustment mea-
sure applying to breach of con-
tract damages; passed two
shipping bills; passed a bill re-
lating to clerk hire for Con-
gressmen who represent Dis-
tricts having over five hundred
thousand constituents; adopted
a resolution providing for ex-
penses of a special committee
to investigate -campaign ex-
penditures.
The preceeding included sev-
eral other matters including the
filing of reports on bills that
did not reach the. Floor for
discussion. It might also be
pointed out that on July
24th the President signed into
law thirty-two bills that had
been sent to the 'White’ House
for his signature.
So you see there is no time
to relax during these last days.
It is extremely difficult to keep
up with the mail during this
time, and if some of you do
not get answers to your letters
as promptly as you should,
please bear with me for a day
or two as these answers will
be forthcoming.

BEHIND THE
SCENES IN
BUSINESS
By REYNOLDS KNIGHT
THINGS TO COME—For only
$5.95 you can get an illuminated
house number that hooks onto
your bell transformer . . . Next
winter you may need a new
electric blanket; there’s one
now that has warmer pockets
for your feet ... A picnic jug
has a pump to lift its contents
from the. bottom, giving the
picnickers colder drinks ... A
new line of roller skates is
designed for the less-than-
seven-year-old ... A faucet
water softener can be generated
with common salt.
FARM TURN. MAYBE — A
six-month rise, slow but steady,
carried farm prices at the end
of June to a point 11 per cent
above where they were as the
year began. For the first time
in four years, year-to-year com-
parisons show current prices
oetter than those of the like
, month a year earlier.
There’s still a big harvest to
I come this fall. Moreover, it will
| take more than a few profitable
months to get the farm ma-
1 chinery and fertilizer business-
es fattened up again. Still, it’s
| been so long since the_ farmer
j has been doing anything but
sliding down a long graph that
ne's leeling much better than
he was.
Washington figures that the
Democrats, who’ve been riding
i the farm-income issue for all
it’s worth, now face the task of
! convincing farmers that Ezra
Taft Benson still thinks farm
prices are too high and that
the downward slide will be re-
ciimpri npxt vpar if the Re-
LICENSES ARE .
SET TC GO
The new hunting and fishing . --- --- - --
year^beginn’ingbfeptember “win “‘Resident hunting licenses
be mailed from Austin, August f£h-
21, according to the Chief Li-
cense Clerk for the Game and
Fish Commission.
Approximately 350.000 fishing-
and 350,000 hunting licenses Irt
all will be shipped to the state’s
2,500 licensed agents in 254
counties.
Old licenses will be void after
publicans are still in office.
BITS O’ BUSINESS — Good
growing weather sent soybean
prices to near seasonal lows
last week . . . Business faillures
declined to 223 in the week
ending July 19, said Dun and
Bradstreet . . . New York de-
partment store sales in the
week ended July 21 were 7 per
cent above last year’s.
ing licenses cost $1.65.
The consignments will in-
clude the special non-resident
license for migratory bird hunt-
ing, such as ducks, geese and
doves. These cost $5. A spec-
ial five day non-resident fish-
ing license costs $1.65.
Yes, Harry, there alre two
kinds of wild life — city and
country.
