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.”
