81st Congress Must Consider
Mom, Vets, Tung Oi i
om, Vets, Tung Oil, Sclerosis
BY PETER EDSON
, NEA Washington Correspondent
' WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Most of the 600 bills
dropped into the hopper of the House on the
opening day of Congress will probably die-a
bornmg. For in addition to the deep-dish proposals
deserving sericus attention, there were a lot of
shallow ones bordering on the bizarre, the trivial,
the screwball. Many others cater to some special
or local interest. That's the way Congress works.
The unimportant and the unnecessary have to be
considered, but finally get lost.
In the late lamented 80th Congress there were
12,000 bills and resolutions introduced by ambi
tious lawmakers. Only 2200 measwmes were
passed by the. House, however, and only 1,900 by
the Senate, The number of private bills enacted
into law was 458 and the number of public bills
enacted was 905, for a grand total of 1,363. In ad
dition to which, President Truman Vetoed 74 for
the two years.
i That's a fair batting average and it's a good
line on what the new Congress will -get cone,
ébout 10 percent of the bills introduced will be
@me law. Congequently, there’s nothing in par
ficular to gei concerned about when you read that
é’ongressman X may have introduced a bill to fly
1o teh modn or erect a monument to somebody
You never heard of before,
PRESIDENTIAL RETIREMENT PAY
’ILL FIRST ;
: The honor of getfing in the first two bills this
Year went to the Hon. Donald L. O'Toole (D,
N.Y.). They were to pay $25,000 a year pensions
’gb ex-presidents and to build an official residence
for the vice president. Along the same line, the
Hon Gordon- Canfield (R., N.J.j later introduced
gne to give ex-presidents a lifetime job as sena
tors-at-large
i The third bill to be nitroduced—though hardly
the third ‘most important issue Congress will
consider this year—was by the Hon. W. R. Poage*
(D., Texas) to repeal the tax con oleomargarine. A
&ozen other lawmakers introduced similar meas
ures, making this the most popular topic for pre
fiosed legislaticn. Runners-up. were repeal of ‘the
Taft-Hartley law and civil rights blils, introduced
by half a dozen or more solons.
| Getting into the legislative bypaths, just to give
you an idea of what some of theése obscure and
unpublicized bills are all about, you run into
things like these:
- Congressman William Colmer (D., Miss.) pre
sented bills of special interest to his state, to es
tablish a parity price on tung nuts and raise the
farift agammst imported tung oil. Congressman
Robert Crosser (R, Ohio) proposes letting the
Coast Guard radio stations handle commercial
messages. Republican Glenn Davis of Wisconsin
ltaas a bill to instal:vote-counting and recording
machincry in the House of Representatives.
Republican James G. Fulton of Pennsylvania,
among a dozen other bills he oifered, had one to
set up government research on the causes of mul
tiple sclerosis—hardening of the arteries. Con=-
gressman Joseph P. O'Hara (R., Minn.) wants to
fi'.ake standard time the only kind allowed, elim
ihating daylight saving. Rep. Philip J. Philbin LBy
Mass.) thinks there ought to be a iaw to pay sur=
wvivors of veterans for any unused leave the de
ceased might hae coming to him at the time of uis
demise. S
Am FOR DRIFTING SHIPS PROPOSED
' Otis Schuyler Bland (D., V.), who again 18
chairman of the House Merchant Marine Commit
tec, has a bill authorizing the federai government
so give assistance In repairing damuged ships
drifting to the shores of the Unifed States, caused
l‘a_v waves an ocean currents,
. Democrat Frank Chelf of Kentucky wants the
’fitwmey-g(eneral to gvie medals for bravery to
éourageous young Americans. If-mocrat KEugene
{. Keogh of New York wants a law allowing
study periods for postoffice clerks. Rep. Johr:
?hulips (R., Calif.) wants the federal governn.'xcm
to set up demonstration plants for makxng drink
irg water out of “sea water, or other liquids, ele
ments or substances.” iy e wl
% Rep. George A. Dondero (R., Mich.) put in a
pill to incorporate “Moms of America.” Emanuel
Ner (D, N.Y.) took the prize for introducing
the most pills on opening day—3s. Included was
one authorizing the Supreme Court to promulgate
a code of ethics for lawyers. :
%}t many of these projects seem futile, the con
essman should not be blamed in every case.

Naming of Acheson and Webb
Fits Into New Truman Trend
Draal % i
chi;f:eldiinzhgglimtanl)has said that the
mean any cha‘ma e e -
. : hange in American foreign
policy. That is a definite statement from
the highest source, and there is no reason
to doubt it. Yet it cannot quiet the specu
lation, both here and abroad, over
whether.the change may not alse mean a
change in the technique, though not the
sub‘stance, of our foreign policy.
Secretary Marshall’s illness was as un
planned as it was regrettable. Coming to
man of 68, who had put in 10 years of
gruelling responsibility, it is not surpcis
ing that he asked to be relieved of his du
ties. Nor is it surprising that M:. Truman
was unwilling to assume the responsibility
of further jeopardizing General Mar
shall’s health. :
Even so, the general’s resignation and
t.}.xe appointment of his successor seem to
it ho_wever inadvertently, into the pat
tern of a new trend. This trend, if it can
be so called, began with the President’s
ilmpromptu speech at the Kansas City
lincheon honoring his former business
partner.
- On that oceasion Mr. Truman referred
cryptically to certain Russian leaders who
were extremely anxious to have an under
st'anding with us. A few days later came
his message on the State of the Union.
The President devoted only about one
eighth of the speech to foreign affairs,
and remarks cn that subject were neither
new nor very specific. .
Next came the resignation of Mr. Mar
shall and Mr. Lovett. They were not part
of a new policy. Yet they succeeded in re
moving a military man from the top State
Department post and, from the undersec
retaryship, a ‘“big business’”” man whose
earlier government experience had been
in a military department.
In their places we now find two civil
ians nominated. Mr. Acheson, it has been
recalled, was once head of a State De
partment group that favored a ‘‘soft”
policy toward Russia. That was in 1944.
Since then, along with countless other
Americans, his understandable wartime
feeling of trust in Russia has turned to one
of realistic suspicion and firmness.
He is identified as a principal author of
the Marshall Plan, and as the man who
made the first official announcement of
it. He faithfully carried out the new Am
erican policy of containment of Commun
ist expansion until his resignation from
the State Department in 1947. His desig
nated undersecretary, Mr. Webb, the
- of the budget, is counted among
those of Mr. Truman’s advisers who have
opposed an expanded military budge.t
So, whether Mr. Truman intended ol
these events to fall into a pattern, the
world can scarcely fail to note these
quence:
The President of the United States rec
ognizes the existence of a conciliatory
group among the Russian government’s
leaders; he offers Congress a program
which soft-pedals rearmament and
stresses domestic social planning; he ac
¢epts the resignations of two mien unjustly
branded by Communists and Wallaceites
as representatives of warmongering ‘‘mil
itarism” and “big business”; he replaces
them with two civilians who are off-and
on government career men.
General Marshall’s two years in the
State Department have left a record of
historic distinction. He laid a wise and
firm foundation for American foreign
policy. Inevitably the surface of that pol
“icy will change somewehat with his de
/parture. The change need not be damag
ing. It might even mean progress toward
peace—but only if, under Mr. Truman’s
guidance, the foundation which General
'Marshall leaves is not destroyed.

But though it was midnight be- |
fore she switched out the lig/it and |
got into bed, Merry was too keyed |
up, too excited to sleen. She told ||
herself it was becausc of secing her ];
lfather again. She was tired from ||
the long, ot too comfortable bus[:
ride and from all the excitement |:
of the day. /It had absolutely |
‘nothing to do with seeing Tip
‘aagin, or finding that Penny S<ta-‘~
lples hadn’t got him, after all. Bele¢
cause it didn’t make one single, s
tiny bit of ‘difference who got him, |
she told herself fiercely. She,|]
Merry Carson, was certainly huv—‘]

itired and worn and harassed for
the last—oh, it must have been a
,year or more, What dopes kids
were, she told herself soberly, not
to realize that parents were peo-|
Iple, and so just as likely to be|
tired and worn and to grow old
as other people. Only Kin din’t
seem to have aged any; he seemed
[to have grown younger!
The thought startled her, and in !
the light of it, she wvisualized Su-‘
fsan. The new Susan who had |
taken possession of Cielito Lindo!
had seemed revitalized by the ex
citement of molding it into a home. ‘
Susan had “smartened up.” Merry
had been startled and not too
pleased when her mother had come ’
hame from a shopping trip to}
}Janksonvillo with a new hair-do; |
her hair cut close at the back,
lbrushed smartly to the left, deftly
waved, and on top a sort of cocka
too’s crest of faintly “blued” un—{
deniably grayin® héir! * And the
new Susan had shopped extrava
gantly for new clothes—not the
conservative navy+blues -and seal
browns and pine-greens that she
had formerly thought suitable for
a “middle-aged lady,” but the new,
rather odd shades and colors that
helped to make her look more likel
a stranger than ever to her startled !
daughter. ]
In fact, lying awake in the soft |
summer darkness, lit by the tra
ditfonal full June moon, Merry
found herself a little puzzled. Both
her parents seemed to have taken
the divorce in stride and to be

a little tight knot of pain at her
