THE PROSPECTS FOR pre
serving freedom of debate in the
United States Senate are not quite
as dismal as the narrow margin
of the recent vote to send the
issue to the Rules Committee for
study would seem to indicate.
While a switch of two votes
could have resulted in rewriting
Senate Rules
o n the spot
last month, the
situation was
altered with
the change in
Ad ministra
tions. The dif
f e r e n c e be
tween then and
now is Vice President Lyndon
Johnson who, when Senate Major
ity Leader, wrote the existing rale
requiring two-thirds of the Sen
ators voting to cut off debate and
specifying that debate on pro
posed rales changes is subject to
that requirement. Former Vice
President Richard Nixon, presid
ing as a “lame duck”, had an
nounced his intention, if given the
opportunity, to declare that rule
unconstitutional and to hold that
a majority of the Senators voting
could end debate on rales changes.
SINCE MR. NIXON did not get
a chance to establish a politically- '
expedient precedent that gag rule ■
could be imposed on the whim of '
the Vice President and in view of
Vice President Johnson’s author- .
ship of the present rule on limi- .
tation of debate, there is good .
reason to believe that, whatever ,
the Rules Committee may recom- ,
mend, Senators who are opposed to <
destroying the Senate’s vital role
as one of the checks and balances
of constitutional government will t
have ample opportunity to talk

the issue out before the country
when it comes up again.
It was obvious from last month’s
vote that opponents of free debate
did not have sufficient strength to
write a majority cloture rule but
they were close to having a ma
jority for limitation of debate by
three-fifths of the Senators vot
ing. The fact that there is no con
stitutional basis or parliamentary
precedent for silencing Senators
by 60-per-cent vote gave added
strength to the argument that
serious study by the Rules Com
mittee was indicated and needed.

IN 1957 I had the honor to
serve as Chairman of a Special
Subcommittee which conducted
the most exhaustive hearings ever
held on this subject. I insisted on
getting opinion from the grass
roots and of the 132 individuals
and spokesmen for organizations
with national memberships heard
more than three-fourths were op
posed to any change in the rule
governing debate as then written
—a rule even more stringent than
the one now in effect.
It was my conclusion at that
time that the American people
recognize the United States Sen
ate as the last-remaining guard
ian of their liberty and their con
stitutional right to govern them
selves and they do not wish the
hands of their Senators tied in the
discharge of that solemn duty.
Nothing has happened in the in
tervening four years to indicate
any change in public sentiment
and citizens of all areas would be
well advised to so express them
selves to the Senators from their
States.

TEACHING YOUR BIRD TO OBEY
It takes about a week or so
to finger tame your budgie
(parakeet to you) so that he
climbs on your finger when you
press it against his stomach and
command him “Up”. 'At the end
of the first week he should also
be familiar with his name. Now
he can be brought out of the
cage on your hand. If he flies
off and settles on the lampshade
or on top of a picture-frame
don’t chase him — just get as
close as you can to him. Stand
on a chair, if necessary, hold
Iv
out your finger and order him
“Up!”. If your previous training
has been thorough, he will obey
you at once; if not, follow him
arotind, slowly, and repeat the
operation until he does as he’s
told.
Never make the mistake of
letting him ignore an order;
exercise your patience and re
peat your demand until he
does what you want. This is
how animals are trained for cir
cus acts and other perform
ances and involves the very
opposite of cruelty — that is,
patience, understanding and
firmness; in short, the qualities
of the ideal parent!

TV studios with its rushing

crews, mobile cameras and
mikes, banks of lights and so
on, and some may wonder
whether some sort of jiggery
pokery is used to curtail his
flight. I’ll admit my heart is
often in my mouth on these oc
casions, but Bobby is completely
free and able to do as he
pleases. The main thing is, he
is under control and will come
when I call.
Now that the bird is on your
hand outside the cage, walk
around with him a little (get
him back “Up!” every time if he
flies off), and then start on the
second exercise in control —
the order to “Get in!” If this
isn’t taught early your life could
become a misery, as you’ll have
to resort to all sorts of strata
gems to get him back in his
cage when you want to go
to bed!
Open the cage door so that
it is completely horizontal, ap
proach your hand with the para
keet on it in such away that
his chest comes to rest atop the
door, and tell him to “Get in!”
He’ll climb on readily enough,
because it’s the same movement
as “Up!”. But if he doesn’t go
right on in, tip him gently un
der the tail with your finger
and repeat the command. Bud
gies don’t like to have their
tails touched and he’ll jump
in quick!
Practice this often, and you’ll
be surprised at how soon he’ll
learn. Once he does you’ll
really be the Boss, and the
learning habit having been well
instilled, you’ll find him very
receptive to further instruction.
He can even be taught to mail
a letter in a toy mail box!

hat has become the outstanding
symbol of the well-dressed and
attractive woman.
Irene Dunne, representing
women in Business and Govern
: ment, believes that a pretty hat
! brightens up dreary days and
keeps a woman working in a pre
dominantly male field looking
feminine and charming. Said
Miss Dunne: “I can never have
enough hats. It seems there’s
always one more I just can’t
live without."
Mrs. Hearst, an outstanding
■ leader of American and Interna
tional society, said: “No outfit
' is chic without a hat. A hat be
comes a personal signature more
than anything else that you
wear.”
Loretta Young, whose clothes

feminine world,
was the win
ner for Televi
sion. Said Miss
Young: “The
Golden Hat
Award is a
wonderful hon
or. Hats have
always been
lucky for me.”
The singer voted as best-hatted
was Roberta Peters, who finds
hats particularly delightful when
she goes on tour. Commented
Miss Peters: “One of the nicest
things about winning this award
is that my husband is so pleased
too. He always likes to see me
in pretty hats.”
Beautiful Arlene Dahl was the
winner for Motion Pictures, in
acknowledgement of her choice
of hats as glamorous accents to
her costumes. Stated Miss Dahl:
“I’m really thrilled. I’ve written
about the Golden Hat Award in
; my column, but
■ I never thought
' I would win

Jarrett Manor, faded but echoing its thrilling past, has
been included as one of the major tours during the Civil War
Frontier outpost, plantation home, stagecoach inn — this
rambling old house has weathered almost two centuries of stormy
history.
A daring English gentleman, Jesse Walton, constructed hie
hoqje in 1782 despite the threats of savages who vowed that
civilization would never gain a foothold in the Blue Ridge.
The settler who carved it out of the wilderness at gun point,
paid for it later with his life and the lives of his family. To this
day there are dark stains in the old house, and grisley legend
holds they are the blood of the Jesse Waltons.
Jarrett Manor was never elegant. Its purpose was for
strength and protection.
Settled over an enormous cobblestone basement, this old'
stagecoach inn covers a 3,000 square foot area. The basement con
tains kitchen, dining room, storerooms, wine cellar.
The hand hewn planking which encases the 2-story house
has never tasted paint. The attic which tops the building is
studded with loopholes for rifles.
The downstairs floor is divided into four rooms and two
hallways, all spacious, all opening upon a broad front porch. John-
C. Calhoun once sat on this porch. Joseph E. Brown spent his
honeymoon at this inn.
The second floor is broken into 13 rooms. They open one in
to another. There is no central hallway. Four stairways connect
the two floors. On one of the stairways is a secret room, intemt
ed as a haven for the women and children in case of attack. It
proved useless in fatal Indian strike.
Walton made his doors—the house contains 27—massive
enough to withstand a battering ram, and hung them on hinges
of wrought iron. He imported locks from England. The keys that
turn them, still in use, are big as tomahawks.
The house has oversized stone fireplaces and six towering
chimneys. Walnut and chestnut panel the inside walls.
The Indians let Walton complete his home and settle in it.
Then they struck. For days the family beat off the attack but
the savages broke through, massacreing the entire household.
Much of the antique furniture is still intact—4-poster beds
fashioned in the Tugaloo valley, dovetailed blanket chest of pine
and walnut, split-oak bottomed chairs, a meat trough and a
rocking cradle both hollowed from solid logs, a homemade “ban
quet” table built of 8-foot-long walnut boards, a spinning wheel,
Revolutionary momentos and Confederate relics.
Jarrett Manor, 6 miles north of Toccoa on Highway 123, Is
now a State Museum well worth a one-day trip. The hostess
on hand to give you a first-rate Centennial tour through this old-**
estate.
