Lane St., Cottage Grove, Oregon. Many people must have been puzzled and dis appointed when the House refused to vote to sus pend the rules and pass some needed and desirable amendments to the Social Security Act. Two things regarding that vote and that bill should be borne in mind. First, the good principles in the bill are not dead but can be voted upon again, and probably favorably, if the administration leadership will allow a bill to be brought to the floor without tricks in it and under normal procedure; secondly, the votes against the bill were not against the basic parts of the bill but were in opposition to enacting a small socializing section of it—language which was not needed as a part of the bill and which did not belong in it. The very history of this bill contains all the ear marks of political skulduggery. The legislation was introduced May 12th. It was reported favorably out of the committee four days later, on the 16th. Al though it dealt with a complicated matter, *no hear ings were held on the bill. It was a rush job. No effort was made to bring the bill to the floor under the normal procedure which provides for debate and amendment. Instead, on the 19th, three days after it was reported, the bill was laid before the House with a motion to suspend the rules and pass it. This procedure permits only 40 minutes of debate, 20 minutes on each side, and no amendments can be considered This speed tactic has been attempted many tunes since 1 nave been a member ol Con gress, sometimes successfully, and I have become very suspicious of it, generally with good reason— just as in this case. The objectionable part of the bill was the section Historic Shrine (Continued from page 1) which would have given Oscar Ewing, Social Security Administrator, powers which would prac tically have allowed him to set up s system of so cialized medicine. This gimmick did not belong in the bill which was an insurance bill. I understand that a new bill may be introduced soon. It will not have the socialized medicine fea tures, will provide needed increases in old-age bene fits, and will also raise the work clause to $100 (the defeated bill increased that figure to only $70). Just one more note on this subject: One unmen tioned reason why the administration majority leadership is so anxious to bring social security law amendments to the floor under gag rule procedure is to prevent the offering of Townsend Plan legis lation—which would be germane -as an amend ment. So far as I am concerned, I wish that legis lation would come to the floor and be voted one way or the other and get the issue settled. I have a hunch, however, that some members would not like to stand and be counted on that proposal. I came across a paragraph the other day which so clearly and briefly sums up what has been hap pening to the people of our country that I want to quote it here for your own thoughtful considera tion: "There has been a creeping paralysis of thought and a surrender of our responsibilities that has permitted a steady d."ifi toward centralized bu reaucratic government, and finally a President mis takenly assumes that he net only can lay down the rules but that he can actually take over and oper ate an industry without authority of law.” shrine by Charles Whipps, 40 et 8 chaplain.
