Record of 81st Congress
In reviewing the work of the 81st congress
one finds it difficult to see how President Tru
man can pin a wreath "Well done" on its brow
and condemn the 80th congress as the worst or
second worst in history. For the 81st congress
in its first session did little more than its pre
decessor to advance his "fair deal" program.
It refused to repeal the Taft-Hartley law, the
very keystone of the president's program.
Truman-endorsed measures it failed to pass
Include;.
National health insurance
Universal military training
Civil rights legislation
Federal aid to education
Extension of social security
Revision of displaced persons law
Columbia valley administration
Economic controls to avert inflation
Government financed or owned steel mills
Increase of $4,000,000,000 in taxes
About the only additional fair deal legislation
enacted was the increase in the minimum wag
rates and federal aid in housing. The 81st con
gress did extend rent control and the reciprocal
trade act, and so had the preceding congress,
though the latter included the rather mild "peril
point" provision in the latter act.
Farm aid legislation resembled that of the
fgOth congress and the Brannan plan supported
by the president was rejected.
- Some of the recommended measures got
through one house and may be taken up in the
next session by the other house. This was true
of federal aid to education, revision of the DP
law and extension of social security. Likewise
the biil to repeal taxes on oleomargarine got
through the lower house as did a bill to legalize
basing point pricing.
President Truman's recommendations on for- i
eign affairs fared much better. With the aid of i
Senator Vandenberk bipartisanship continued
to support our" foreign policy. New funds for :
European recovery were voted; the Atlantic ;
pact ratified and military aid for allies under,
the pact appropriated.
The greatest failure of the 81st congress was
in fiscal policy. It overappropriated money from :
the treasury, and the fiscal year will close with
deficiency of five or six billion dollars. There
will be much argument between republicans;
and democrats ever the work of the 81st con-;
gress. For this rotten financing both parties are
to bioine. The awmocrats who controlled con
gress didn't even introduce any bill to provide
s- more revenue and increased appropriations over
the president's budget, and republican efforts
for economy were not very aggressive. Having
criedh"wolf, wolf so long on deficit financing
conservatives realize that their voice is lost in
the gale; but the policy long continued piles up
wrath against a day of wrath!
If one measures the 81st congress by the vol
ume of important legislation the score will be
low. It has, however, in its first session done a
great deal of spadework and the second session
may see a larger harvest in bills passed.
The. session was shot through with politics,
the major moves being dictated by concern for
elections in 1950 and 1952. The president will
his the "republocrat" bloc as whipping boy in
his appeal for election of fair deal democrats
next year, mnd signs begin to multiply that ha
; will be a candidate for another term, come 1952.
Franklin Roosevelt broke the precedent and
'Truman's entourage may have little difficulty
in convincing him he should run again.

! World public opinion laid a hea
j vy hand on Soviet Russia Thurs
' day in the election of Yugoslavia
j to the U. N. security council.
? Russia has taken rebuff after
; rebuff in the peace organization.
!" In the case, of the Iranian dis
; pute immediately after the war,
f for instance, the pressure proved
! s great that she changed Her
policy for once and withdrew
her troops.
! But the Yugoslav election rep
i resents the passing of judgment
I by the U. N. on a quarrel within
" communist ranks.
The passion with which Russia
, views the quarrel was personi
. fied in Andrei Vishinsky's last-ditch
effort to stave off defeat,
. and by his defiance of the rules
of procedure to take the assem
bly floor in denunciation after
'. the vote.
! Vishinsky.-for those two min-
utes of pre - election protest, was
a man fighting desperately, as
he had been doing publicly and
: privately for weeks, against de
feat on a matter which was te
him truly vital.
Sometimes Vishinsky speaks
with measured reason, sometimes
with heat. Sometimes nis warn
ings come clopping out like the
treading of a tank on macadam.
k Thursday's performance was a
high pitched protest to the judg
es. The Russian foreign minister
had put up a good fight, obtain
ing more votes for Czechoslo-
vakia than observers had anti-.
ripated. He had considerable pre-
; cedent on his side, although the
United States could make good
show of technical correctness la

Princess Scores Lax Morals
l Princess Elizabeth, who at 22 is a wife and
T mother, is evidently her grandmother's own
,' descendant. For in a recent speech at a mothers'
union meeting she put herself firmly on the
side of morality. The regal and conservative
I Queen Mary, who frowned on her son Edward's
f abdication to marry an American divorcee, nev-
er spoke out so bluntly as did the princess who
is next in. line to the throne.
Said the princess:
'Wi live in an age of growing self indulgence,
' of hardening materialism and of falling moral
standards. I would go so far as to say that some of
i th very principles on which the family, and there
; fore the health of the nation, is founded are in
danger.
"When we see around us the havoc which has
been wrought, above all among the children, by the
breakup of homes. We can have no doubt that di-
vorce and separation are responsible for some of
the darkest evils in our society today.
"I do not think you can perform any finer serv
ice than to help maintain the Christian doctrine that
; the relationship of husband and wife is a perman
: ent one, not to be slightly broken because of dilfi
l culties or quarrels."
That puts Elizabeth on the side of the angels,
which is precisely where her people will want
; her to be as queen. The divorce rate in England
and Wales is only one to eight marriages
; (against nearly one to four in the United
States); but growing secularization is felt there
as here, threatening the stability of home and
society. Sometimes divorce seems unavoidable,
but too often it comes from minor "difficulties
or quarrels" as the princess suggests.
If Elizabeth continues to speak her mind like
that the people of Britain will find they really
have a royal leader.
Charlie Wolverton came out of a city news
room (New York World-Telegram) and became
editor and publisher of the Mill City Enterprise.
He put punch into his paper, and whether: his
customers liked it or not they read it. Now he
has sold the Enterprise to Don Peterson from
Montana. But Wolverton is so much in love with
the North Santiam country he plans to continue
residing in Mill City. They come, they see and
they "get conquered."
Russia's Vishinsky has agreed to holding a
meeting of the U.N. assembly in Moscow in
1953. This leads the Corvallis Gazette-Times to
remark that "the Soviets still plan to be mem
bers of the United Nations in 1953 and they
don't expect Moscow to be missing as a result
of atomic explosions." That is comforting.
The San Francisco municipal railway lost
about $2,500,000 in the last fiscal year. Since
acquiring the privately owned Market St. rail
way fares have been doubled, but the deficit
bourgeons and the city has lost the taxes it
used to collect. Seattle's experience has been
the same. Not a pleasing record.
Jacob Berchtold, mayor of Mt. Angel, is well
on his way to rivalling the record of Gus Moisan
who retired a few months ago after many years
service as mayor of Gervais. Mayor Berchtold
has been renominated for the office he has held
for years and years. As public figure at Mt.
Angel Mayor Berchtold is a fixture. His popu
larity is deserved.
An overseas Constellation plane became a
maternity hospital of a sudden, a few days ago,
when a woman passenger gave birth to a baby
boy. She forgot that storks fly too.
Vishinsky's statement that Yu
goslavia "cannot and will not"
be accepted as representing east
ern Europe, whose seat she fills
under the charter prevision for
regional representation, is one of
fact. Yugoslavia cannot, of
course, represent a group of na
tions with which she has virtu
ally no diplomatic relations, and
with which she is conducting a
private "cold war."

yet when he is obliged to ack
nowledge the worst, he is so in

that he cannot give her up. Out
of his weakness, decent enough
in itself, comes his degradation.
The shuffling descent from gen

by fears, doubts and fits of con
science but spurred oa by a pair
of bright eyes, provides the very
considerable appeal of this noveL
Connolly's lively and provoca
tive novel was written in the
1930s, and Svevo's is about half
a century old. Both show a man
slipping for lack of anything to
hold onto; both show the strong
pull of even a mediocre tempta
tion when virtue and principle
and morality are perfunctory.

today, when I was tidying it
up after an absence of several
months.
You'd swear that the elephant,
celebrsird for bis long memory,
was running things in Washing

was from the collector of In
ternal revenue
dunning me for
money he says
I owe for the

against his wife's wishes, the

day, even though he be perform
ing In Little Rock, and collect
But a man can dream, can't
he?
I have had some beautiful
dreams about how the govern
ment had forgotten I owed that
money, and how the government
had said to itself that I was such
a nice little soldier that it would
let bygones be bygones and not
bother to turn the wheels of
Washington to extract blood
from a turnip.
As much as I hate to have to
pay the money, I can't help but
nave a new respect for the
thousands of office workers who
spend their days sorting out
tens of thousands of singlicates,
duplicates, and triplicates. One
million jokes have been told
about the inefficiency of the
clerks in Washington bureaus,
but now I suspect they aren't
true. Either they aren't true,
or I was unlucky enough to
get the one efficient one who,
with a bulldog tenacity, kept
track of my files. That would
be my luck, wouldn't it?
Honesty (plus the fact that
I haven't enough money to pay
the 1941 tax at the moment)
forces me to confess that I was
rather shocked by the bill. For
some reason. I sort of thought
I had walked off that debt. If
nothing else. If the government
had given me a credit of only
five cents a mile I am sure I
would have hoofed it off be
tween New Caledonia and Man
ila. I rather felt that a country
would give a soldier at least a
dime off his delayed-action in
come tax every time he got
hit on the head by a falling
cocoanut. Or fifteen cents off
for each time he had to see
officers taking a slug of "Black
Locker' spirits while he at
tempted to drown his lonesome
ness in an occasional warm beer.
Too, it seemed to me that a
thoughtful country would be
willing to forget the income tax
of a middle-aged soldier who,
every time he wrote his wife
from civilization's backwaters,
had to suffer the torture of know
ing that the letter had to be
read and censored by a beardless
thing who had been made an
alleged gentleman (not a soldier,
mind you) by act of congress.
Oh, by the way, let me remind
the government of this, when I
was in the army they had every
thing planned to take care of

A visitor here from India, a

he said:
How can peace be preserved?
Not by surrendering to aggres

evil or injustice. But also not by
talking and preparing for war.
Aggression has to be met, for
that endangers peace. At the
same time the lesson of the last
two wars has to be remembered
and it seems to me astonishing
that in spite of that lesson we
go the same way.
"The very process of a mar

terrible fear and that fear dark

I doubt very much if today's
parents of small children realize
their great debt to medical sci
ence. Older people and especially
the older physician will certainly
remember the great havoc once
wrought every year by the con
tagious diseases of childhood
the epidemics of serious illnesses
which brought down nine young
sters out of ten, and left death
and invalidism in their wake.
Today, many of the worst of
these diseases have been wiped
out or at least rendered so harm
less that their threat is neglig
ible. Nearly all of this amazing
progress has been made in the
past 25 years, most of it in the
last 10 or 12.
The most outstanding results
have been in the control of so
called infectious or catching dis
eases. For example, diptheria in
many cities appears so rarely
that medical students and young
physicians have never seen a
case. This has been accomplish
ed by giving injections of diph
theria, toxoid to the children
when they are eight or nine
months of age. In most cases, the
children are given one further
injection of the toxoid two or
three years later which acts as
a booster in giving immunity or
protection against the disease.
Scarlet fever seems to have be
come a much milder disease than
it used to be. Furthermore, with
penicillin and the sulfonamide
drugs, the condition can be clear
ed up when it does occur, with
out complications such as ear
and gland infections, heart, and
kidney damage that formerly
were so frequent
The results with whooping
cough have not been quite so
good. Infants still succumb to
this disease, particularly babies
under a year of age. Injections to
prevent whooping cough, if giv
en early, may help greatly in
cutting down the dangers of this
disease. Many physicians advise
that these injections be started
when the baby 4s three months
old, and that he be given four
such injections a month apart
If the injections do not prevent
the disease, they at least may do
much to make it milder and les
sen its dangers.
There is still no way of per
manenUy protecting a child
, against measles. Measles, like
whooping cough, is most danger
ous to babies under two years of
age. If such an infant is exposed
to measles, he should be given an
injection of gamma globulin,
which will either prevent the dis
ease altogether or make the at
tack milder. Furthermore, the

complication of measles may be

Today's parents are indeed for

science has provided to r save
themselves much dread and fear,
and their children many a seri

provided, neglect to have i! their
