INTRIGUING Johnson Leading Senators Away From Nonsense Talks By WILLIAM THEIS UPI Staff Writtr WASHINGTON il'PH Evolution is intriguing especial ly in the supposedly unchange able United States Senate. The stately, ponderous, fre quently frustrating, sometimes majestic and often windy Senate is coming to grips with the man agement of its own time. L'nder the guidance of Demo cratic Leader Lyndon B. John son, the Senate 1 getting th. kind of cut-out-the nonsense pro cedure which keeps the House of Representatives from dissolving into utter confusion. The device being adroitly man ipulated by the Texan is the "unanimous consent" procedure. This is the process of asking unanimous agreement to accept a limitation of debate on a bill, an amendment or any other matter before the Senate.

Limitation Of Debate In a sense, the consent pro cedure's "cloture" u limitation of debate in advance of a "fili buster" the time-honored ma neuver to talk a bill to death. It is given rather freely, if some times grudgingly. In the House, a rule fixing the length of debate on major legis lation is granted by the 12-mem-ber House Kulcs Committee, the traditional "power arm" of the speaker. The rule is subject to approval by the full House. - But a short cut is available in the "unanimous consent" pro cedure that has been used in the House for years. One advantage in addition to its speedUD value is that it lets the party leaders go off to Other chores and forget about the "store" until needed. Preserves Leadership Control This helps preserve leadership control and the Senate is less at the mercy of free-wheeline in dividual speakers. Yet the device does not wipe out the Senate's tradition of in dividual freedom. A single sena tor may object to its use. But he seldom does. Such an agreement normally is not sought until the leadership has a pretty good idea that it, or something close to it, is acceptable to all. Then there is always the pres sure of majority desire working to silence objection. Most mem bers of the "club" want to be liked by their colleagues. The evolution is making the Senate more effective but less exciting If it's less like the un predictable Senate of old. it is partly because there are more' "canned'' speeches. This in, turn; springs from the addition of press aides to senatorial staffs. . i Few senators now speak "off the culf" at any length or even just from notes when they have something heavy to unload. Pirkten "Old School" Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois is probably the best of the "old rchool" ovators remaining in the Senate; brave enough to venture out in deep debate without the rhetorical life-vest of a prepared script. The younger Sen. Hubert. H. Humphrey 'D-Minni, who , just loves to talk and will do so at the drop of a syllable, is probably the best on the Democratic side. He, like others, uses many pre pared texts to help get his speeches into the newspapers. Johnson, who is responsible for much of the evolution, is no ver bal slouch when aroused. He's best when back home talking to, fellow Texans in their own color ful terms. He's at his Senate best when the heat of debate brings out his "natural" speak ing style. . . , . -.:-. Dean of the hold-em-and-sock-em school, a diminishing number in the Senate, is Sen. Hubert S. Kerr, the millionaire Democrat from Oklahoma. . . .., . ' The new willingness to control Senate debate may have some connection with the fact that more than a third of the Senate's members served in the House. They were raised that way. Social Security Official Stresses Advance Filing Are you planning to retire soon? One of the goals of the Social Security Administration is to pay benefits as promptly as possible to those persons entitl ed. To assist in maintaining a reg ular income into the household ifter retirement, . the public should be aware of a policy, be ing stressed by the Social Se curity Administration, Mr. Welo district manager of the La Grande office, stated today. To receive benifits promptly after retire ment, a worker should file a claim for his benefits 30 to 60 days before retiring if he knows he will be retiring on a certain date. This advance filing will give the Social Security Adminis tration and the person claiming benefits ample time to get infor mation and evidence necessary to establish entitlement before the first check is due. It will al so afford the wife and any child ren who might be eligible the op portunity to file for dependents' benefits. generally evidence will be re quired to prove the age of the retired person and his wife. This may be a birth or baptismal rec ord. If th?rc is no such record pvailable, any record that is old and reliable may be sufficient. If there is a child under age 18 or a child of any age who was disabled before 18, it will be nec essary to- have a birth certifi cate for this child. Evidence of the worker's earn-, ings in the taxable year ending before the date of retirement is also necessary. This proof may be a copy of th J income tax with holding statement (Form W-2) or a copy of the income tax return for the self-employed person. By submitting this evidence on the first visit, future contacts may be unnecessary. Th above plan has been high ly endorsed by large employers vho have retirement plans sup plementing social security bene fits, by labor unions and by oth er organisations. Mr. Welo again stressed that for prompt payment of your first social s.-curity check, "in quire before you retire." -,. . Your district social office is located at La Grande. FLEET LAUDED ...
