Congress Sidelights By Harris Ellsworth Congressman, 4th District of Oregon The administration leadership of the House has given up any thought of repealing or amend ing the Taft-Hartley Act. Its first and only attempt was a complete Hop. 1 think i snouin poini oui again that Republicans In the House could do nothing In the name of the Republicans to carry out their campaign promises re garding labor legislation. Our con tention has consistently been that the T-H law is fundamentally good but that experience under It has revealed the need of certain amendments to make It belter. The procedures under which the House of Representatives operate provide that the party In control is literally In control. Major leg islation, even including substan tial bills, must bear the names of majority members. This is no cri ticism of the Democrats who now control the House. It is the cus tom. Republicans do the same when they are in control. I make this explanation for the purpose of pointing out that the only way in which Republicans could express their wishes regarding labor legislation this session was to attempt to write heller and broadening amendments into a substitute bill offered by a Demo crat member. Mr. Wood. This we did with some success due to the fact that a great many mem bers of the Democrat majority voted the same way we did. Amusing enough this situation was publicized as a "coalition," "clever political manuever," etc. It is too bad that simple truth Is not considered Interesting enough to attract attention, so it seems to be necessary to use sensational terms which carry dark, or at least shaded, Impli cations In order to tell the simple story. Considering the fact that the substitute called the Wood bill was largely written on the floor of the House, it was a pretty good piece of legislation. But It was Killed bv a narrow margin most ly for the reason that it came too close to being a Republican bill to be passed by a House over whelmingly controlled by the De mocrat party. The reason we had to attempt to write the bill on the floor was that the House Labor Committee quickly reported the administra tion Lesinski bill without taking much lime In executive session, and without adopting or even seri ously considering nny amend ments. The result of this dicta torial and high-hamled strategy was that the House passed no bill at nil. The Identical drama Is being en acted all over acain in the ben ate. As this Is written, I do not know what the outcome will be over there but the lirst two acts of the nlnv are the same 1. Ad ministration bill Jammed through committee; I. Uounlloss amenu ments considered on the floor. But, let me give you the Senate storv rich! Horn the lips ot a Senator. Senator Wayne Morse said in debate a lew days ago: "The Thomas hill Is not the pro. duct of executive-session discus sion. The fact is that we did not have anv executive-session discus' sions of the Thomas bill. At the very first executive session held by the committee, after the hear ings were closed a Democrat oen ntor moved that Hie hill be re ported favorably to the Senate. Another Democrat Senator sec onded the motion. When Republi can Senators sought to oner amendments, they were declared out of order on the ground that the mot on was not suli eel l amendment. . . . Thus we find nuiBplves In the nresenl untorlun ate predicament of trying on the lloor ot tne sonaie io wrne me tie tailed provisions of 'ahor legis lation which should have been written In the committee. Postmistress' Curiosity Costs Her Fine And Job STEEPLE ASHTON, Eneland, June 15. (!') What was in the letters the vicar wrote to the vounc Indies? Postmistress Mary Tye had an Itch to know.

P The Soviet Navy newspaper Red Fleet complained Tuesday that both Turkey and Sweden allegedly were planning collaboration wl'h the United States in establishing military bases in tne Mediter ranean and the Baltic. The naval paper said a Turkish admiral had gone to Washington to discuss the construction of Black Sea naval bases on Turkish territory. An article by the naval affairs commentator Yermashev said it was clear that such bases were for the use of the American fleet and were only one part of Ameri can plans for the Mediterranean, which included taking over the Dardanelles. The same Red fleet commen tator asserted that certain Swed ish military leaders were plan ning to make Sweden a base for rocket and atom bomb war against the Soviet Union. The commentator declared these Swedish leaders were acting as American agents.
