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. .

As a possible solution, some
members- are considering propos

require that no bill .be considered
unless printed copies are available
to everyone, and that no amend

read fully to the house. Unani

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

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. ;
