Congress Asked to Vote 7ithdut Reading Bills, Solons Complain By William F. Arborttt WASHINGTON Aug. 20-CTVA growing tendency to legislate "in the dark" may bring about a demand for strengthening the rules of the -house. -: Some members complained privately today that they are being asked too often to vote on legislation which they have neither seen nor heard read. : . ' ; " The practice of voting in the dark" grows during the waning days of a session when the fever to adjourn runs high Hastily Prepared J: Newsmen are delayed in ob taining details of legislation which they have not seen because it had not, been printed, and which they have not heard because the house has dispensed with its reading. Authors of hastily prepared meas ures arent always too helpful be cause there have been times evhen the men who introduced the bills were not able to explain the de tails. - - - Several recent incidents illus trate the situation. - During consideration of the bill to give President Truman controls over the domestic economy, the house actually voted to restore wartime excess profits tax rates without most members knowing what they were doing. . . - It happened when the amend ment's author was cut off by ex piration of his time allotted to ex plain and read it (30 seconds) and asked unanimous consent' that further reading be dropped. He had been able to mention broadly the subject matter. The house quickly voted and approved the amendment. ' Then someone sue gested that it be read. The house. startled by full realization of what it had just voted for, reversed the decision and defeated the amend' ment ; This subject is slated to be handled separately. . Not Fault of Rules The "voting in the dark" habit Is not essentially a fault of the house rules. The rules require that bills and amendments be read un . less unanimous consent is obtained to dispense with the reading., When members vote without knowing wnac iney are voting on it is nsu ally because none has objected to voting tEafway.

As a possible solution, some members- are considering propos ing a rules change which would require that no bill .be considered unless printed copies are available to everyone, and that no amend ment be considered unless it Is read fully to the house. Unani mous consent to dispense with readings would be obtained only when - legislation ' not read has been printed.; ' . : Military Chiefs Land in Tokyo TOKYO, Monday, Aug. 21 -tfV Army Chief of Staff Gen.

"Rising standards of living are BUUUgCBk UCICIU UU3h ULLUUB- tion by communsim and fascism,' the booklet said. "Poverty and des- pair are their best allies." Morgan Phillips, secretary of the party, told a news conference that Britain itself would take the in itiative in proposing and planning such a program. He said it would carry further the idea expressed in President Truman's inaugural address of helping develop "back ward areas' of the world. ' The party statement said "work shoujd start now on the prepar ation" of the new program, al though the Marshall plan still 'has some two years to run. Phillips acknowledged that the United States already is at work on fu ture plans for economic recovery of the rest of the world. Public, Private Investment All the free peoples would be expected to contribute to the world plan according to their abil ity, the party said. "The plan would be carried out through pub lic as well as private investment, through national as well as inter national action, through , colonial development as. well 'as through the United Nations "The guiding purpose of such a plan would be to help the poorer peoples to help themselves, and the extension of democratic self government would accompany eco nomic progress: Phillips said that Russia and other communist nations would not be specifically excluded from such a plan but declared we would not want a veto," This ap parently would exclude the Rus sians, anyhow.

Duiiding jpBMaiSlfi glI?feSg for onr pulp Putp is a basic material just as pig iron is. Processors use it to make a wide variety of useful products. You may be wearing a pulp product in the form of rayon. The food you buy is packed in a box or cellophane made of pulp. Certainly the paper in the books and magazines you read had its beginnings in the forests. In one form or another, America uses millions of tons of pulp. The market is tremendous, and there are scores of pulp producers to sup ply manufacturers of papers, boxes, rayons, cellophane and Lacquers. We try to build permanent markets for our pulp in many ways: First, by rigidly adhering to customers' specifications making exactly the quality required to meet each need. This is the job of a hxgo staff of skilled chemists. Second, sales and service offices -WORKING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TO CREATE f - - . ----- - nODUCTS, PAYROLLS AND PROFITS fV) f (w) are maintained in New York, Boston end Chicago. Most manu facturers who use pulp aire located near these cities. Third, by efficient, integrated plant operation we are able to meet competitive prices. Fourth, our tree farms help guarantee an endless supply of fine pulp to our customers. And, looking to the future, a staff of chemists and engineers are'steadily developing new uses for cellu lose and lignin and better ways to produce them. Steady operation of our pulp, lumber and cilher forest products plants depends entirely upon the continuous purchases by our customers. We must "serve wdL to survive,, in the free Americaa market, because satisfied customers are the only source of income to meet payrolls, pay taxes and earn profits. ; o n n n n n fi n n vi V7 fl II id U il Li y U U L L Li li 1' 1 1 M 1 1 1 .
