EVOLUTION IS . 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. A sin-

gle objection blocks the request.
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.
