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.
Both houses this year passed res- j
olulions opposing admission of i
Red China to the United Nations. I
Pay Raised salaries last year i
of members of Congress from j
S15.000 to $22,500 postal and)
other government workers and
members of the armed forces.
This year increased the pay of
cabinet members from S22.
500 to S25.000 and heads of
government agencies.
Flood Insurance Approved
a bill generally in line with Mr.
Eisenhower's recommendations
setting up a ST. 5 billion federal
flood insurance and loan pro
gram. Major Bills Killed
Langley Gets Third
Invitation to Testify
Salem (U.Ri Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. 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. The invitation came in answer
to a letter from Langley to Gov.
Elmo Smith which criticized
Thornton' handling of the probe.
Two more sessions will complete
this year's activities, with the an
nual event ending Sundav, Aug.
12.
Regional Inspection
t Today, the camp and its mem
bers are receiving an official
regional inspection. Cliff Han
son, executive of the Crater Lake
area council Boy Scouts: Vittz
James Ramsdell, president of the
Portland area council: George
Flannagan, Crater Lake area
council president; Sam Taylor,
council camp chairman: J. A. Mc
Dougall, council committeeman:
and Dr. Stan Philips, council
health and safety chairman, will
be at the Lake of the Woods site
to inspect facilities, activities,
and grounds.
In addition to the regular
scout campers, the camp has a
staff of about 30 older scouts
plus half a dozen adult scout
masters.
San Diego (U.R) Gov. 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.
