Ellsworth's Last Letter
Of Year; Plans To Spend
Week in Jackson County
B7 HARRIS ELLSWORTH. M.C,
Washington, D. C. This is
written on Saturday! Before long
a weary and more or less gloomy
Congress will close up shop and
the members will head for home.
It is always a little discouraging
to hear a Congressional recess
referred to as a "vacation." The
fact is that a member of Congress
generally has less time to him
?lf when he is home In his state
r district than when he is In
Washington, attending the ses
sion. We do not complain about
this because it is a part of the
job, and a pleasant part, but a
recess certainly is not a vacation.
I referred to this1 Congress as
being gloomy. There are two
very different sets of reasons for
that condition. First and fore
most, the sudden passing of Sen
ator Robert A. Taft of Ohio cast
a deep sadness over the closing
hours of this session. Senator
Taft was genuinely liked, ad
mired, and respected by every
member of Congress. He was a
tower of strength to the Eisen
hower Administration and was
truly "Mr. Republican" in the
Senate and in the country. The
death o Senator Taft followed
within a few days the passing
cf Senator Tobey ol new mmp
snire, also a respected and popu
lar Senator.
During the less than seven
months since this session began
four other Senators and Repre
sentatives have died, including
Senator Willis Smith of North
Carolina; Representatives Joseph
Bryson of South Carolina, Gar
rett L. Withers of Kentucky, and
Merlin Hull of Wisconsin. The
Congress with a total member
ship in House and Senate of 531
is a relatively small body num
erically. These men all were our
friends and we miss them.
The other basis for a lack of
enthusiasm lies in the nature of
the work which had to be done
during this session. It is far
more pleasant to spend money
lavishly than it is to pinch pen
nies and save. This session of
Coneress is the first one in many
years to crack down sharply and
heavily on budget requests. u
knocked almost 20 oer cent (one-
fifth) off the post-election Tru
man budget.
But even so. and to further
dampen any feeling of cheerful
ness, it has not yet been possible
to nrovide any tax relief. This
vill come at the end of this year.,
Then to ton off the financial
slory, one of the last acts of this
session was to face the necessity
cf raising the legal debt limit of
the Federal treasury. Althougn
that actually amounts to little
more than a legal tecnnicaiixy,
it did serve to point out force
fully that the Eisenhower Ad
ministration inherited a flock of
tills which must be paid before
government finances can be put
on a sound basis and taxes re
duced. The situation we took
ever was something like that
of a person who buys a quit
claim deed to a business and
then has to mortgage the proper
ty in order to get rid of the liens
and old debts which are pre
sented to him for payment.
This, I believe, is the last
"Letter from Washington" for
this year. I do not expect a spec
ial session to be called, so unless
that does happen I will not be
writing from Washington again
until Congress convenes its sec
ond session in January. Mean
while, after about the 20th of
August, we will be at home in
Roseburg at home, that is, un
less I am visiting the seven coun
ties in the Fourth District. I
hope to spend at least a week in
each county.
