LA GRANDE OBSERVER Obterver, La Grande, Or., Thurs., Sept. 3, 1959 Page 9 House Committee Stands Pat On 90 Weeks For Working Session By FRANK ELEAZER ' UPI Start Writar WASHINGTON UPH The House Judiciary Committee has decided that 90 weeks are enough for an average year and is forth rightly refusing to add any more. The committee also had count ed at least 31 months on the 1959 calendar and says we'll have to tighten our belts and try to get by with the same number next year. As for days, whoever said there are never enough of these just hadn't counted. Neither has the Judiciary Committee. It would take too long. But the committee adamantly refused to add to the number. This means we won't be able to celebrate grandmother's day, as proposed in a bill by Rep. Iris Blitch ID-Ga.t. Children's day, sponsored by several lawmakers, also seems to be out. Rep. George Meader (R-Mich.) figured we ought to observe family days, but now I guess we can't. The com mittee didn't approve any of these bills. Table Allergy Bill We can continue to rejoice, of course, on mother's, f a t h e r's, mother-in-law, old maid's, and old 3 I WilM" W IJI 1 1.1.1 Iffc f ' lady days. According to Chases' calendar of special days,- weeks and months, all of these already are scheduled. Rep. John E. Fogarty (D-R.I thought we might spend the cur rent 30-day period, from Aug. 15 to Sept. IS, sneezing and ponder ing ragweed. The committee ruled however we'd be better off trying to think about pleasanter matters. It tabled Kogarty's bill to give of ficial sanction to what is already called allergy month. According to Chases' calendar, we stand committed to memorial ize assorted events in the history of Argentina, Bermuda, Bolivia. Brazil, Chile, and so forth up to and including Venezuela. General ly a day's jubilation is consid ered enough in each case. So Rep. Steven B. Derounian iR-N.Y.) figured we ought to de vote a week, anyway, to extolling the United States. But judiciary turned down his bill. According to Chases', we can use the period he had in mind, starting each Oct. 19, to signalize national fish and seafood week instead. Table VanZandt Motion The judiciary folks let it be known privately they have noth ing but the highest regard for the borough of Osceola Mills, Pa. But Osceola's millers will have to whoop it up at their centennial party next month without a sin gle official kind word from Con gress. Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R Pa.), their congressman, did his best with House concurrent reso- CHUCK GAVIN Wins Kansas City Trip Charles Gavin To Take Trip To Stock Show - Charles "Chaek" Gavin, Union County Extension Agent, has been awarded a trip to the American Royal Stock show in Kansas City as a guest of the American Here ford Association. Gavin was selected as one of 10 extension agents or vocation al agriculture instructors doing outstanding work with beef cat tle in the United States. He will make the all-expense paid trip to the show as a representative of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and western Montana. The ten men were selected on the basis of their contribution to youth work and general activities in the field of beef cattle raising. Gavin entered extension work nine years ago. The last four years have been spent working in the La Grande office. All of Ga vin's experience has been in Wyo ming and Oregon. He has work ed in Rawlins, Cheyenne and moved from Encampment, Wyo ming to La Grande. He was graduated by the Uni ersity of Wyoming in 1949 where he studied agriculture. He majored in the field of animal production. Gavins wife, Shirley, and his three boys, Mike. 16, Pat, 12, and Tim, 11, won't be able to make the trip to Kansas City but they are proud that Chuck was selected to attend. All expenses including travel will be paid by the American Hereford Association. Episcopal Family Camp Due At Cove COVE (Special) Family Camp of the Episcopal church ot tnc Missionary District of Eastern Oregon, opens with registration tomorrow afternoon at Ascension church school grounds at Cove. Members of parishes from var ious parts of the district win at tend. Dr. Max Pearse, assistant pro fessor of Christian Education, Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Bergeley, Calif., will lecture on "Prayer."

Camp will close Monday with informal gatherings. lution 341. Had it not been irre vocably tabled, the resolution would have thanked Osceola's Mills for "splendid service" to the nation for the past 100 years. The committee also has tabled bills that would have enabled us to exult together each year dur ing nationul aircraft dispatchers week, oil industry centennial day national farm-city week, and pres ident s day. It laid to rest also a measure under which we could have made merry all year. Under this pro posal, we would have been ex pected to devote I960 to appro priate ceremonies and activities in honor of the late Pony Ex press. Includot Sweater Week The committee let it be known that none of the bills it did not formally set aside are going to get much of a day in court. I bet we can get by. Take next month. Thirty days hath September, as everybody knows. But the way Chases' cal enaar counts it, September is good for 8 months, 5 weeks, and any number of days. September's events include both a sweater week and a day devoted to the Cherokee strip. All 30 days we are expected to eat better breakfasts, and to take care of our feet. Starting Sept. 26, for a week anyway, right-thinking men will wear ties. As for the tail end of August, I bet some folks clean missed out on celebration. Aug. 30. was the birthday of Huey P. Long. Little New Hampshire Is Anti-Rockefeller? WASHINGTON HW Gov. Nelson A. Hockfeller of New York talks with Sen. Styles Bridges then joins in publicizing a pull calculated to discourage a Rocke feller bid in New Hampshire. For a short period of two weeks in early August, it was under stood that Rockefeller would de cide this fall on the basis of pub lic opinion polls whether to run for the COP presidential nomina tion. Now he says he will not be guided by the polls alone. While in Washington Aug. 18. Rockefeller called on Bridges for purposes never made very clear. They reported that their conver sation included some casual talk about the New Hampshire pri mary next March, when the state contests over national convention delegates begin. Supporter Of Nixon Bridges joined Sen. Norris Cot ton (R-N.H.) in spreading the results of a New Hampshire poll over two pages of the Congres sional Record last week. Though uncommitted, Bridges is counted a supporter of Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the 1'JtiO Republican nomination. The poll was made by the Opionion Research Corp. of Princeton, N.J., and published in the Boston Herald. It showed Nixon stronger than Rockefeller on all tests conducted. One which might be of particu lar interest to Rockefeller showed him trailing Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, now the pace setter among potential Democrat ic candidates, by a 42 to 58 margin. At the same time, Nixon led Kennedy in another trial heat hy the same margin. Republicans Watch Polls However much weight Rocke feller attarhes to the polls, it is a safe bet that they will weigh heavily in the decision of the Re publican national convention when il chooses a candidate next year. The polls helped to put a "can't in" label on the late Sen. Robert A. Tatt in 1952 when he lost the nomination to lhvight D. Eisen hower. As was expected after his tour of Russia and Poland, recent nulls have indicated an upsurge in Nixon's vote -pulling power. The big question now is whether this new strength will stand up. If President Eisenhower's new approach to Russia should turn sour. Nixon presumably would sutler. It was the New Hampshire pri mary in l!i"2 which gave the Eisenhower campaign its first big push. Although he was still in Europe as NATO Commander, Eisenhower won all the New Hampshire delegates and defeated Tatt in a contest in which Harold E. Stassen ran a weak third.
