CALIFORNIA-PACIFIC UTILITIES COMPANY MEDFORD, OREGON PHONE 2-5284 Washington il'.R' Here' at a glance is what Congress did and didn't do during the Democratic-controlled 84th ses sion which opened in January, 1955: Major Bills Passed Foreign Aid Appropriated S3. 77 billion for the foreign aid program this year. This repre sented a sharp cut from the S4.9 billion President Eisenhower or iginally asked but was SI bil lion more than was appropriat ed last year. Over the President's objections, Congress banned any new military aid for Yugoslavia. Farm Authorized the soil bank program the President sought as a new device to cut farm surpluses. Accepted pres idential veto of a Democratic drive to restore farm price sup ports to 90 per cent of parity. Highways Authorized a S50 billion highway construction program that will be the big gest public works project in his tory. The President accepted a Democratic-proposed plan to help finance the program with increased taxes. He originally had suggested a bond-financing plan. Defens . Gave the Presi dent all he wanted in the way of defense funds, plus an extra S900 million for the Air Force which he didn't seek. Enacted last year administration-proposed plan to vastly increase the size of the military reserve and extended the draft law. Social Security Liberalized the social security program by lowering to 62 the retirement age for women and to 50 for the totally disabled. Increased social security taxes to pay for the expanded program. Adminis tration opposed the bill. Foreign Policy Voted last year to give the President a free hand in defending Formosa.

Thornton Satur day issued his third invitation to Multnomah County District Attorney William Langley to testify before the Multnomah county grand jury vice investi gation.

Elmo Smith of Oregon, attending a conference of western governors, here, Saturday declined to com ment on the dispute between Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton and Multnomah Coun ty District Attorney William Langley. Earlier this week Langley had written the Governor a list of 15 charges accusing Thornton of mishandling the grand jury in vestigation of vice in Portland. Thornton subsequently branded the charges diversionary tactics. Langley's charges were re leased to the press Thursday. Gov. Smith said "I should like to caution all people officially connected with this investigation to use the U. S. mail to com municate sensational or other information to me before releas ing it for publication." He said he would have no comment to make on the charges until he had studied Langley's letter and conferred with Thornton. But the governor observed, "I think Mr. Langley would be per fectly within his right to accept the invitation of the grand jury to appear before it and make any and all such information as lie might have pertinent to this investigation available to the grand jury." Langley has refused to testify before the jury. Ciyil Rights Administration ! program cleared the House but ! never got out of the Senate Ju-' diciary committee.
