THE BEND BULLETIN Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Wednesday, July 4, 1955 New Dealers Complain Democratic Party Has Lost Old Time Religion By I.VI.E C. WILSON I'nlted Prttss Stuff Cur respondent WASHINGTON (UP) There's thunder on the left within the Democratic Party where th ganized New Dealers protest that ils House and Senate leadership have lost the old time religion. This is rank ingratitude so fat- as Speaker Sam Rayburn is con cerned. Mr. Sam was one of the half dozen men on Capitol Hill who breathed legislative life into the reforms, reorganizations and proj ects which FDK's bright young sters conceived downtown in the yeai-s 19:13-37. or, maybe, 193S. Those yeai-s were ubout the span of the New Deal as Mr. Roosevelt devised and effected it. War shad ows were lengthening in the latter year and It was not long after that that the President, himself, was the target of left wing brickbats like those now being thrown at the speaker or at Sen. Lyndon John son (D-Tex) the competent Senate Democratic leader who was felled last weekend by a heart attack, lefties He'in To Yiimmer One day as the war neared and the ltfties hean to yammer that KDR was ignoring reform for other things.the President read his news conference a typical Roose-! veltian homily. It related how the dislocation and fervers of the times back there in the mid-thir ties had required the services of Dr. New Deal. Times and ills had changed. Mr. Roosevelt continued, and the country hy now was need ing the ministrations of Dr. Win-The-War. It will take more than a simple statement lo silence the critics of the Rayburn - Johnson program which charts a much more con servative course for the Democra tic Party in this Congress than the left wing elements thereof would choose. That program calls on the party to gr pail of the way with Presi dent Eisenhower on many an is- Isue, being careful, always, to tag ifill cykvI wnt'ki with the Democra tic stamp, if possible. But in neither Johnson nor Ray burn is there any reluctance to fight. Rayburn. the old pro among his party s big wigs, is a slugger. He swings for a knockdown when he swings at oil. Johnson, the handsome, smiling type of politi cian, has shown extreme skill as a boxer, a political Benny Leon ard, if unyone can go back that far. - - Because of his serious condition, Johnson probably won't be indulg ing in any political give and take for some lime. His office already lias announced he won't be back for the remainder of this congres sional session. And his assistant, Sen. Earle C. Clements (D-Ky, the Senate Democratic whip, al ready is taking over nis duties. Clements is expected to carry on with the same policy and program set down by Johnson. Johnson Demonstrates Technique Only a few days before his ill ness Johnson amply demonstrated his technique as a political battler. There was a back and forth be tween Johnson and the President in which Johnson rubbed it in rather roughly that much of the Republican program this year had been put through Congress with Democratic votps. The point he was making was that Democrats are a high minded group of peo ple who would not stoop to mere politics. At his next news conlerence, Mr. Eisenhower replied sharply, not so, and read a list of the legis lative projects which the Demo cratic majorities had cut down or ignored. Back popped Johnson with an observation about Mr. Ei senhower which was sure to sling. Of course, 1 can understand ENLIST IN NAVY These two youths, Charles W. Dunn, right, and Lowell E. Martin, Jr., recently enlisted through the Bend navy recruiting station and are now in training in San Di ego, Calif. Dunn is a resident of Coquille and Martin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell E. Martin, 223 East Franklin, Bend. He was graduated from Bend High school with the class of 1955. that the President was speaking from a prepared list that someone had given him." said the senator. After all, he pent last week in New England, and may not fully understand all he was talking about." Johnson's policies obviously have not been dictated by any desire that Mr. Eisenhower loves him. More likely his idea was that a young man in his position may properly think one day of getting his party's presidential nomination.: That day might be, say, in l!t60. And the best way a Texan could win such an honor would be by proving to the middle of the" road nd more conservative elements of I his party that he is no radical. A nominee wants, above all else. a; united party. I More Needed In Typing Class The summer typing class sched uled for the next six weeks will not be held unless at least fivv more students sign up. it was an-, nounced today by Don Pence, di rector of Central Oregon College.. The class held its first session this morning, but will disband aft-1 er two or three days, if the regis tration doesn't pick up. Mrs. Wil liam Niskanen is instructor. The class is limited to high school and elementary students, and no cre dit is given. A fee of $15 covers the six weeks course. Class meet ings are held daily Monday through Friday, from 10 to 11: 30 Coon Takes Madras Bid Special to The Bulletin MADRAS Congressman Sam Coon, representative in Congress from the second district of Oregon, has accepted (tie invitation of the Madras-Jefferson County ChamU-r M Common? to debate the sub jet "Agreed John Day Bill is in the Public Interest" with Oregon Sen ator Richard Neubei-ger. Representative Coon said that Iv is "happy to accept" the invitation and set Oct. 11 as the earliest pos sible date. The John Day bill is one intro duced by Coon to provide for the partnership plan between govern ment and private capital for con struction of a dam on the John Day river. Coon would take the affirmative in the proposed de bate. Chamber Secretary Howard Turner said late Wednesday that he had received no reply to his in vitation to Senator Neuberger. Drive Toward Adjournment Launched by Congressmen Wiggins Raps Administration WASHINGTON (UP) A spokes man for the Aim-rican Society of Newspaper Editors has criticized the Eisenhower administration for holding back information on the Salk polio vaccine and the danger of 'fallout from H-bomb expio sions. The criticism was made by J Russell Wicgins. executive editor of the Washington Post and Times Herald, and chairman of the ASNK's Freedom of lnformalio Committee, in a nationwide inter view. Wiggins said any administration should give "all relevant materia' bearing upon great national is sues" to the public. lie said public confidence in the Salk polio vaccine program was shaken because the government failed to tell the public some of the disadvantages and defects early enough. Ellis Island, in New York har bor, which opened Dee. 31, 1890, as a U.S. immigration depot, has closed its doors. ." THey 8tanci " ANYVllhl ERE fefc ru-v.' rrg&r: x&0 IiiD.r "II" Holiday Couot WM " . ' : By KAVMON1) l.AHH Lnltfd I'retm Stuff Curn-xpuiidfiit WASHINU'IXJN (L'H) - Congivss started ils stretch drive toward adjournment yesterday with parts of President Kisenhower's domes tic program still in serious trouble. However, many tf." the items which lt d President Eisenhower to Lomplain about Democratic inac tion last week are sure to pass in some form. Some will bear more Jl the imprint of the Democratic majority in Congress than of tlu administration. As Congress returned from its Independence Day holidr,y, it was generally expected that .o more than four weeks would be needed for the mop-up and that adjourn ment would come by July 30 or very soon thereafter. The serious illness, of Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon U Johnson tTex was not expected to delay adjournment. The Democra tic Whip Karle C. Clements (Ky) is filling in for Johnson. Some administration proposals still alive include three in serious trouble public housing, federal lid for school construction, and liberalization of the refugee law. A solution of the impasse which has stalled the housing bill in the House is expected. School and refu gee legislation appear likely to die. Mr. Riscnhowcr included all three of those measures in his list last week of legislation on which Congress had taken no final action. Here is the status of some of the ulhers: Military Iteserve Training: The louse skirted the segregation issue which previously stalled this bill ind passed it Friday. The Senate 1 Armed Services Committee starts1 hearings Thursday. Senate passage! is assured. HlKhwu.vii: The Senate junked th. administration plan for u bond-is suing highway corporation ami passed a Democratic substitutf The House is still working on tin issue. Eventual enactment of a bil without the administration bund plan is fairly cr-taiu. Foreign Aid: Both 1 louse an,J Senate have passed bills closelv in line with administration re quests. Differences between th. two probably will be worked out this week. Sterner efforts at cut ting the requests are expected on the follow-up appropriation bill. Minimum Wage: The Senatt passed a bill to raise the 75-cent minimum to $1, compared with tin administration proposal of (Ju cents The House is expected to approvi iX) cents or $1 this month. Although eongresskoal fire works this year have crackled over domestic issues, the Senat Democratic leadership regards for eign policy as the major work of Congress tilts session. In this area. Congress has approved the ad ministration's Formosa resolution and its foreign trade program. Thr Senate has ratified the Paris pacts and the Austrian, Southeast Asir and Formosa treaties. The foreign aid bill is on the verge os passage Other major legislation on which Congress has completed action in cludes bills extending the draft law, renewing excise and eorH rale income tax rates, raising fed eral pay scales and extending the government reorganization law.

Federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking a to million dollar ap propriation for construction of a "giant Alcalraz" to house dange--ius and troublesome convicts no.v ommitted to overcrowded prisons it was learned today. As envisioned by Bureau of Prisons Director James V. Ben 'ictt, the proposed prison would bo built In the. next three years somewhere in Illinois probably in the Springfield area. Bureau spokesmen said it would receive the Alcatraz type criminal the habitual offender, the bank rob ber, the racketeer, and the "ex plosive, unpredictable" personal ity. It would have a GOO-man capa city whereas "The Rock" in San Francisco Hay seldom houses more than 300 convicts. Bennett revealed in April that li had asked funds for two new federal institutions the so-called maximum custody prison and a youth corrections center. The re 'luest has since been approved by Attorney General Herbert Browncll Jr., the Budget Bureau, and the White House. It is now before the ftouse Ap propriations Committee in tha form of a supplemental appropri ation request. Although details have not yet been made public, it was learned the measure con tains about 10 million dollars for the Alcatraz - type institution and seven n ml ion dollars for the youth center.
