Impossible Work Load Faces
Congress Bound by Red Tape
‘ BY PETER EDZON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The job now before the 81st
Congress is impossible. An unofficial inventory of
the congressional work load as of May 1 reveals
that fact all too clearly.
In the first four months of this session, roughly
2000 bills have been introduced in the Senate and
5000 in the House. The averagt is 11 per congress
man, though this includes many duplicates and
some congressmen have hoppered many more than
others.
But of all these 7000 bills introduced, less than
200 can be considered of top importance. Where
Congress bogs down is in its inability to give
priority to the most important bills, and then handle
them.’
The fault is not all with the congressmen. No
group of men on earth could dig through this straw
stack of bills, sift the wheat from the chaff and
make good loaves of nourishing bread to keep the
natiopal body and soul together. It is with the sys
tem that something seems to be wrong. What seems
to be needed is something that will permit Con
gress to concentrate on the important things, and
handle them.
As good an index ag any on what may be con=-
sidered important can be made by a study of the
President’s message to Congress on State of the
Union, and the budget and the economic reports.
In addition to these three messages, the President
has this year sent up 12 special messages asking
Congress for legislation not ready at the opening of
the session.
LEGISLATION ADVISED ON 100 SUBJECTS
Analysis by competent legislative experts reveals
that in all these messages, the President has listed
over 100 subjects on which he thought new legisla
tion was advisable. The appropriation bills and
major legislative proposals by congressmen and by
«the executive agencies of the government provide
the other half of the bills to make-up the 200 top
priority matters mentioned above.
This entirely unofficial designation of what is
important is by no means an effort to say that all
of the bills proposed by the President should be
passed. Some are long-range proposals which ob
viously require more study. Some of them—perhaps
many' of them—should be defeated because they
are bad legislation. But certainly none of them and
none of the top congressional and executive agency
proposals should be permitted to die on the vine,
The bad ones should be taken up, debated and then
defeated by a record vote. ;
Up to May 1, the 81st Congress has passed only
55 public laws plus 37 private bills of lesser im
portance. This isn’t the whole story. Actually. the
House has passed 395 measures and the Senate 251.
But because these haven’t been the same masurs,
the bulk of what has been passed by one House is
unfinished business for the other.
The oldest brick house-in lili
nois stands at Cahokia. It was
biult about 1800 with walls a foot
and a half thick.

What with all the excitement over the lifting of
the Berlin blockade, the Greek Cammunists’ bid
to end the civil war did not get a lot of attention.
Yet the offer is interesting as well as important,
since it is of a piece with the rest of current Com~
munist strategy in Europe. ¢
Taken by itself, the guerrillas’ willingness to
negotiate peace would have been hard to under
stand They had scored some recent gains, and ap
peared to be winning such engagements as were
important enough to warrant the cost of cables
from American correspondents. Then suddenly they
offered to begin peace talks through the mediation
of the United Nations.
It was quite a generous offer, too. The rebels did
not insist, as they had before, that the American
and British military missions withdraw as a pre
liminary to negotiatigns, They said they would
agree to a neutral, non-political interim govern
ment. They proposed free elections under UN su
pervision and promised to abide by the results.
The only conditions laid down were that any
agreement should respect ’-~-"-"“» lence of
Greece, and that the election su&pld not
be made up exclusively of representatives of the
western governments.
The guerrilla government’s minister of justice,
who made the offer, was both naive and realistic
about ‘what would happen after the eleciions. He
said that it would be up to the new government,
whatever its complexion, to decide whether Greece
should continue to get Marshall Plan aid. He also
said, more sensibly, that “everything depends on
the Americans.” ¢ 3
Naturally, any decision on future aid would de
pend on the American government, And Wash
ington would scarcely be expected to continue help
ing Greece if, as the guerrillas predict, the Com
munists should win the election. However, the
naive statement may have been meant as a face
saver. How much sincerity there is in the rest of
the Communist proposal remains to be seen,
Undoubtedly the rebel leaders had their orders
from Moscow to start calling the whole thing off,
at least for the time being. This, with the Berlin
negotiations, seems to offer unmistakable proof
that the Soviet government is going to give Europe
a speéll of quiet and relaxation while it concen
trates more time, money and energy in the Far
East,
It also seems to prove that the recent tactics in
Europe have been inconvenient and expensive for
Russia as well as for the United States. The western
powers’ counter-blockade put an economic squeeze
on the Soviet sector of Berlin. And whatever help
Russia and the satellites were giving the Greek
rebels could probably be used to better advantage
elsewhere.
So the Soviets seem to want a breather in’their
two-front cold war. But they can scarcely ease
their own tension without easing ours as well. An
end of the airlift and of the Greek war will relieve
this country of anxiety as well as expense. It will
give our government more time to think about the
next Communist moves which, most likely, will
come in the East.
It is to be hoped that Washington will take this
time that is being offered and do some hard and
clever thinking. Right now the government hasn’t
much Far Eastern policy except to stop'throwing
good money after bad in China. That is neither
very positive nor very promising. It is obviously
necessary for the United States to get ready for
the next round.

fin their behalf. Somewhat sharp
ly he said to me, “One would sup
pose from the present clamor for
buildings that a school is made
with cement. Bonds can buy
buildings, but it seems to me that,
even more than buildings, we need
something that bonds cannot buy
—a genuine thirst for knowledge.
Unless our children want to learn,
they will get little more in a good
building than in a poor one.”
“Now the gentleman with whom
I was conversing is a native Geor
gian, he has lived in Athens many
years, and his children now attend
its schools.
“I saw the point he was making.
Good teaching does not come auto
matically with good equipment.
But, and with this he had to agree,
good teachers are often encourag
ed and enabled to become better
teachers because they have propr
facilities to help them in their

work. Even persons of only aver=-
age ability sometimes blossom into
interesting and competent class
room leaders because suitable sur
| roundings and helpful materials at
| hand improve students’ as well as
ltheir own morale.
Where Best Is Desired
“It happens too that top-notch
teachers are attracted to school
| systems that are forward-looking.
!They do not apply for jobs where
the buildings are run-down and so
| inadequate that many normal ac
| tivities of twentieth -centur yl
| American school life cannot even
be carried on. They want to teachl
1*“ a town where the citizens de-
Isix'e the best for their children. i
| “In such a tqwn, consequently,
| the Board of Education has a tre
mendous advantage in hiring
teachers. It can choose not only
| from many teachers but from the
| best turned out by our various
[ teacher-training institutions.
| “Now I know that there are ca
| pable teachers in the Athens High
lSchool who would teach there if
the buildings became so delapidat
led that they fell down over their
| heads. They have personal ties
land reasons which keep them in
| Athens. But why should we pen
! alize them for that? Why should
we not rather afford them and
their students decent quarters in
which to carry on their most im
‘portant business, that of learning
| and living together in one of the
| world’s most interesting institu
| tions, the American high school?
| “To be sure, our responsibility
| as parents and teachers will not
lend with the construction of new
| buildings. No one expects that. A
lbusiness man considers that his
{task is only just begun when he
| moves into his new building. Nev
;lertheless, no store can operate
| without shelves, no bank without
counters, no garage without work
ing space. What store, what bank,
what garage would expect greatly
lto increase the volume of its busi
| ness without making correspond
ing changes in its physical prem
| ises?
| “Our Athens schools today lack
| certain essential facilities, Our
‘| business, which is that of rearing
boys and girls, is increasing. Vot
ing school bonds on May 24 is the
| first step needed in our expan
| sion.”

Cappy Miller’s young son, Squint,
is forever coming up with new
ideas. Now they’re not all world
beaters, but Cappy is usually will
ing to give them a try.
Seems Squint found a new way
to clear brush. They take two trae
tors, about thirty feet apart, and
connect them with a heavy chain
weighted down on the ground with
old iron. First they both go par
allel in one direction, then they go
back over the same swath in the
opposite direction and up comes
the brush—roots and all. Worked
fine and saved time,

stimulate the development of
purebred herds of swine.
