o o O Monday. November 12. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN 85th Congress To Be Faced With Many of Same Pressures From Lobbyists of 1955-56 o Washington (CQ) gress in 1957 will find under many of the same sures from lobbyists that Con itself pres- the 8-ilh Congress felt in 1955-56. Washington's lobby legion whose registered members out number Congressmen by about 6-1 has been waiting for Tuesday's election to prepare its plans to push or obstruct major legislation that will lace the 85th Congress. - The last Congress pleased some lobbyists. .Efforts in favor of passage of some farm legisla tion, the Colorado Reclamation Project, social security, high ways and limited public housing were successful, at least for the time being, when legislation was enacted. Some groups were dis satisfied, with the measures and may press for revision.' But lobbyists again will con centrate on eight major projects that were not enacted by the 84th Congress: Federal aid to education, ex emption if natural gas produc ers from federal regulation, vet erans pensions, postage rate jn creases, federal help for peace time atomic energy, rigid farm price supports, federal develop ment of Hells Canyon and U. S. membership in the Organization for Trade Cooperation. Congressional Quarterly's sur vey of 84th Congress lobbying activity and preliminary plans for 85th Congress pressures shows these plans: The National Education Asso ciation again will press for fed eral aid for states in need of school buildings. Its 1955-56 ef forts went for naught when a bill to provide that aid was de feated in the House after adop tion of an amendment to deny federal funds to segregated schools. NEA state leaders will meet Dec. 6-9 in Chicago to dis cuss ways to get the segregation amendment in a separate bill so all school aid will not depend on it. The natural gas industry will make another try at getting leg islation to exempt its producers from federal regulation. In the 84th Congress, both the House and Senate passed such a bill after a bitter fight among oppos ing lobbies. President Eisenhow-1 er vetoed the measure Feb. 14 I because of "highly questionable activities" of some of those pres suring for passage of the bill. The Texas Independent Produc ers and Royalty Owners Assn. is optimistic over the chances of a new bill if the gas industry gets Committee contends emphasis the backing of the President ahead of time. A spokesman for the United Auto Workers (AFL CIO) said "we'll fight as hard as ever" against ending federal na tural gas regulation when the issue reappears. Veterans Groups To Split Veterans groups will be split once again over how pensions should be increased. The Ameri can Legion with about 60 Senators and 240 Reprsentatives in its membership wants high er pensions for disabled veter ans whether their injuries re sulted from military service or not. The American Veterans should be on service-connected disability. The AVC feels pen sions for disabled soldiers and their survivors should be based on the cost of living instead of fixed amounts. The House passed a Legion-backed pensions bill June 27, but the measure died died in the Senate. Another attempt to raise the price of postage stamps will be made in 1957. The National Assn. of Postmasters will meet in mid-January to decide the best way to push the bill through. The House July 6 voted 217-166 to increase postage rates out the measure never came up on the Senate floor. The National Assn. of Direct Selling Co.'s opposed the in creases in 1956 and intends to fighfthem again next year. The Cooperative League of the U.S.A. reports it is working with other public power groups to "refine" an unsuccessful 1956 bill that would have provided for federal construction of S400 million worth of demonstration atomic power plants. The Na tional Coal Assn., which opposed the bill in the 84th Congress, has not changed its mind. The atomic bill passed the Senate on a vote of 49-40, but was de feated in the House 191-203. Barring a sudden rise in farm prosperity, the old debate of flexible vs. rigid farm price supports will go on again in 1957. The American Farm Bu reau Federation will fight for continued flexible supports while the National Farmers Union will press for high rigid ones. Hells Canyon Argument Although construction of a federal high dam at Hells Can yon was defeated July 19 in the Senate by a vote of 41-51 and never got to the House floor, the National Hells Canyon Associa tion will continue to argue for the project. An Association spokesman said most of its money will go into litigation to prevent the Idaho Power Co. from building three low dams near the canyon. The Federal Power Commission in 1953 licensed the private power com pany to build the dams. The Committee for a Na tional Trade Policy again will push for a bill to make the U.S. a member of the Organization for Trade Cooperation. GNTP feels the OTC would provide the U.S. with a mechanism for o settling international trade dis- O putes. The Nation-Wide Commit tee of Industry. Agriculture and Labor on Import-Export Policy, which has succigtsfully opposed the idea. ays it would be a dangerous delegation of Con gressional authority tO(jn inter national body. TT.e OTC bill did not come up for a jote in either the House or Senate in 1955 or 1956. O . (Copyright !S5S.

Quaker Oats plans to discon tinue ' production of formula feeds at its Portland plant.
