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,

not come up for a jote in either
the House or Senate in 1955 or
1956. O .

For Elevator Sale
Portland U.R) Final ne

Portland grain circles said the
value was "in excess of $1 mil
lion." The 650.000 bushel ele
vators and 400-foot dock have
been under lease-option to Quak
er Oats since 1946.
Paul H. Rimmerman, western

Oats in Los Angeles was in Port

firmed that the sale was expect
ed to be closed within a month.
Quaker Oats plans to discon

feeds at its Portland plant. But
it wil continue grain operations
throughout the northwest and
cereal storage and sales from
headquarters here.
Rimmerman said:' "We see
continued Pacific Northwest ex

it now, and no negotiation price
can be announced yet."
