By Congressman Ed Gossett
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 21.—
A major legislative skirmish, perhaps
the meat important one of this ses-
sion. was fought cut in the House
this week. Chances <rf reducing fed-
eral spending, of balancing the bud-
get, cf defeating the FEPC, and other
absurd civil rights proposals, in fact,
the chance of stopping any number
of things in the Congress, was dealt
a fatal blow when the House failed
to g back to their old rules by a
vote f 236 to 183. Heretofore, the
Rules Commit.ee in the House has
been used as a s:rt of clearance coni
jnittee for legislative proposals. In
Janaary. 1949. the rule was changed
to permit any committee chairman to |
brii.g up any bill which his e.-mmittee i
had reported, regardless cf the Rules |
Commit'ee. Many of us wanted to re-
store the Rules Committee to its an-
cient prerogatives. We wanted to use
it as a sort of read block against
demagoguery and hypocrisy. How-
ever. the House veted against us,
236 to 183. It is strange and ironical
that this defeat must be laid at the
door of the Republicans of the House.
Sixty-fcur of them voted against the
resolution, largely because they were
afraid of the colored vote and of the
radical votes in their individual dis-
tricts. It was stupid politics on their
part. By and large, it was a contest
between the conservatives and the
so-called liberals. The conservatives
lost.
By a one vote margin, the House
this week defeated a bill to provide
a hundred and twenty million dollars
in aid to Korea and a commit al for
an additi n expenditure of two hun-
dred milli n dollars. Along with ’half
of the Texas delegation. I vote against
this expenditure. If the sto-ry of our
bungling and waste cf money in
China ever comes to light, the public
will be outraged. Those of us voting
against these millions fer Korea feK
that the odds were that such money
would probably go to the benefit of
the communists, rather than against
them. Sad to say, most of our millions
in supplies sent to the anti-commun-
ists in China largely fell into the
hands c-f the communists. In an early
newsletter, I will give you a horrible
story of how some of this happened.
If the FEPC comes up next week,
as it is supposed to do. it will pass
the Houe-e, notwithstanding the best
efforts of a good many of us to de-
feat it. The FEPC proposes to lake
away from the employer his right to
select his employees. It will be a long
step toward tbe destruction of free
enterprise and the rights of individ-
ual citizens.
Announcement has been made by
American scientists that *we can now
produce high grade sheet mica. Mica
is mcessary in the manufacture of
many strategic war materials .includ-
ing radio tubes, radar equipment, etc.
Heretofore, we had to import most
of our mica. Now, we can make a
better product by synthetic process.
Science marches on. More and more
things can be made with less and less
eff rt. and by synthetic means. Of
one thing we can be very sure, how-
ever, men can never be produced syn-
thetically. Character is not built by
any irimple process.
In line with this thought, I was
startled a few days ago when Mayor
O’Dwyer, of New York, seriously pro-
posed to legalize gambling in that
great city. Bills are introduced in
every session of Congress to establish
a national lottery. If our character
is seriously impaired or if men thus
decay, then all of our science and all
of our learning will avail us nothing.
Mrs. Gossett and I attended a Tex-
as State Society pre-gram last night,
honoring Tern Clark, Associate Jus-
tice of the United States Supreme
Court. Mr. Clark is tlhe first Texan
ever to be a member of cur highest
court.
