Douglas McKay will be the speaker at the annual dinner and meet ing of the Mount Hood Pow-Wowers. It will be the first time Mr. McKay has visit ed Sandy in the official capacity of govern or of Oregon and needless to say it is an event which is being looked forward to with keen anticipation in this community. The event is an ideal one for a visit from our governor. It affords him an interest ing picture of affairs and activities of the closely knit mountain area through reports of committees outlining accomplishments during the last year and forecasting at least a part of the projects under way and planned for the future. At the same time, the Pow-Wowers an nual meeting usually is one of the largest community gatherings of the year, drawing attendance from the top of the mountain down to Gresham and beyond. Thus a large audience well representative of the diver sified interests of northeast Clackamas county and eastern Multnomah county will be on hand to hear the governor report on affairs of state and possibly discuss some of the problems of greatest public interest. It will also afford an opportunity for both the governor and local citizens to become better acquainted with each other and to exchange views on public matters. Tickets for the event already are on sale and have been going rapidly. The Post rec ommends that those who wish to attend purchase their tickets at once since it will be necessary to limit attendance to the capacity of the dining facilities at The Fire side, where the event will be held. ABOUT “ DO NOTHING” CONGRESSES— Nine months have crept by since the 81st congress began its work in Washington, D.C. It was presented at the outset with a second blueprint of a program pronounced by President Truman in Philadelphia a year ago last summer and for which he had pre viously called congress into a special ses sion. It is the same program, with a few minor changes, which Mr. Truman brazen ly declared that congress could write into legislation in 15 days. That was when he was talking about a congress in which the republicans were ih the majority. Later, Mr. Truman campaign ed successfully for re-election largely by pointing a finger at tire 80th congress, call ing it a “ do-nothing” congress and blaming the republicans for its failure to enact into law his pet program. The present congress is firmly controlled by the president’s own democratic party. Yet today, nine months after the 81st ses sion was started, only two parts of the president’s program have been put into effect. These are a housing bill and the minimum wage bill. The first was, in fact, a republican housing bill and the second was put through only after the republicans supplied sufficient votes to overcome oppo sition of southern democrats. Today we don’t hear a peep from the White House about the ease and speed with which * the president’s program could be adopted. Nor do we find much action to help put it across. The democratic 81st congress is truly showing up as a “do nothing” con gress so far as the Truman program is con cerned.
