t Suno'ty, Afat 17, 1138 9A MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. TheyTl Do It Every Time - By Jimmy Hatlo ' fe fS?? Bifir?J TheAutdsraph : ' " lle VSCff 1 0F AUTOGRAPHS - Congress Acting Like Reformed Housewife Set on Cleaning Up Washington (CQ) Con jrresi these last few days be fore adjournment is acting like a reformed housewife bent on cleaning our Fibber McGee's closet. Inside the Congressional closet are a mess of bills on everything from paint roller handles to dogfish sharks. One bill pertains exclusively to a literary club and another just to the Fapago Indians Many of these bills have been lying around gathering dust since the 85th Congress reported for work Jan. 3, 1957. They were stowed away to make room for more im portant bills like the ones en social security, civil rights, foreign aid and reciprocal trade. Altogether, the 85th' Con- cress has set a record in in troducing more than 20,000 bills and resolutions during Its 1957 and 1958 sessions. Less than 1,200 of these have become law. Introduced Again Any bill not voted on be tween now and adjournment time dies. It must be intro duced all over again in 1959, referred to a committee and then await Its turn to under go hearings and finally a vote. Hence the feverish activity to clean. out the Congressional closet. These so-called minor bills are, of course, major ones to the people concerned. . Take that one on the paint roller handles. It even covers Com munism. The Senate Finance committee says there is no reason for import duties on paint brush handles and not on paint roller handles. So its bill would put the same duty on both type handles and the duty would be higher if the handles came from Com munist countries. The bill na turally has the paint brush in dustry bristling with interest. And as for the dogfish harks, that bill's progress is being followed by the West Coast salmon and halibut in dustry with the intentness of a cat watching a goldfish. Seems the dogfish sharks are eating up the salmon and halibut. So the bill says "the Secretary of the Interior shall pay a bounty of $10 a ton for unlivered dogfish sharks or ten cents a pound for dogfish shark livers." Wants to Add Word The St. Thomas Literary Society, since it has a Federal charter, has to go to Congress to get its charter altered. It wants to add the word "re ligion" to its already listed purposes of charity and edu cation. The Papago Indian Tribe stands between the National Science Foundation and a tele scope on top of Kitt Peak in Arizona. Congress has to pass a bill saying it Is all right for the Indians to lease land to the Foundation. Other bills which Congress is cleaning up these hectic last days, include ones to: establish a dental health week; author ize the Girl Scouts to use Army equipment; require the Federal Government to noti fy archeologists before it floods over land rich in old relics; give $200,000 more to finish the International Peace Garden in North Dakota; set up a hall of fame for farmers; allow Defense Department soft-shoes to carry guns; pay Pine Ridge Sioux Indians up to $3,500 each to make up for the Army shelling their land while practicing aerial gun nery; - save Old bwedes Church in Philadelphia, and a bill to allow the, Sibley Me morial hospital in Washington to count pregnancy expenses mat s wna: Din says as part of its building expenses. Reorganize Reorganization There's one bill designed to reorganize a reorganization plan by changing the name of the office named to organize the reorganization that is, HR 13214 would amend Re organization Plan Numbered 1 of 1958 by changing "Office of Defense and Civilian Mo bilization" to "Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization There are also two rather conflicting resolutions pend ing which concern Dr. Flor ence Rena Sabin, famous 19th century woman doctor from Colorado. One resolution would put her statue in Sta tuary Hall in the Capitol while the other would put it in the Rotunda. - Congress will probably de cide that question with hard ly a word of debate, along with the host of other ques tions presented by these little bills. Most of the bills are passed under a procedure whereby the number of the bill is called out, and if no body objects, it is considered passed. This is Congress' last minute way of cleaning out the. closet clutter. ' (Copyright Congressional Quarterly Inc.) fcfikM Lift Wert Uvs?

I have a right to work if I want to. Gloria S. It's embarassing to me. Wilfred E. I am nearly 70 and was retired on a small pension more than a year ago. I live with my daughter and her family. I have been trying to keep active and contented, but I find it's hard if you have no job to get up for every morn ing. I tend to waste the days and then I feel bad when a whole day goes by with noth ing accomplished. It happens that I am very handy at mechanical jobs. So I decided to go around to see some of the neighbors to find out whether I could do some thing for them around the house. Some of them gave me a little work and I charged a very moderate fee, as I would like to have some extra cash in addition to my pension money. When my daughter found out about it she hit the roof. I feel I should have a right to work if I want to. Gloria S. I'll say I hit the roof. How was I supposed to feel when friends started call ing me asking if I wanted them to give my father work? Was I supposed to say "Yes, please help out my poor fa ther. I'm sending him out for hire? My husband is a highly re spected professional man in this community. We have one of the nicest homes here. What will people think of us when they see my aged father going out to do odd jobs in his overalls? My father had a pretty good idea how I'd feel about this before he started it. That's why he was so sneaky about the whole thing. He didn't tell me a word about it. The neighbors take the at titude that they are willing "to help Dad out if I want them to. They would really do it as a favor to me. How embar rassing. The Council: Gloria is right on only one point her father should have discussed his plans with her before he got started. However, Gloria appears to lack understanding and to be headstrong and self-righteous that it is easy to see why Wil fred ducked a discussion and a probable contest of wills with her. We are 100 per cent behind Wilfred in his belief that he has a right to work. Even if Gloria is a millionaire and Wilfred walks out of her man sion in his overalls, he is with in his rights. If Gloria would deny him this right, Wilfred may be better off boarding out with a more understanding family. Gloria should recognize that she is, in effect, trying to deny her father health and the will to live. His hunger for activ ity and a little extra financial independence must be filled in some way and he has chosen a reasonable and honest way There is no need for her to be embarrassed about it. She should cool off and try to un derstand this. We don't think the neigh bors will think any less of Two Killed in Galice Accident Grants Pass, Ore. (CPB San Francisco businessman Irving Ernest Kesterson, 65, and an employee," Lydia Al brecht Briggs, were killed when their car careened down a 200-foot embankment and crashed on the bank of the Rogue river Wednesday. j Kesterson's grand daughter, Joanne Patricia Kesterson, 14, j a passenger in the auto, was j reported today in good condi tion in Josephine General hos pital here. She was thrown clear from the car as it fell. A' member of the rescue party, Alvin Sphanle, Grants Pass, was injured when he fell down the craggy bluff, but he was also listed in good con dition. The exact nature of in juries to Miss Kesterson and Sphanle was not revealed. Kesterson, his wife and granddaughter were vacation ing at his summer home near Galice, Ore., about 15 miles northwest of here. He, Joanne, and Mrs. Briggs, wife of the caretaker of the summer home, were returning from an outing on the river. State po lice speculated that Kesterson probably fell asleep at the wheel. The accident occurred less than a quarter mile from the summer home. Properly Tax for Debt Unnecessary Salem (LTD Estimated revenues and surplus funds on hand wity make the levy of a state property tax for debt service unnecessary, Carl W. Chambers, State Tax Com mission chairman, announced today. The special session of the State Legislature last October eliminated all state property tax obligations except for bonded indebtedness. Tax revenues for the fiscal year 1958-59 are estimated by the Commission to be down nearly 16 million dollars from 1957-58. Chambers said re ceipts from personal and cor poration income taxes were slightly over 105 million dol lars for the past fiscal year, but were expected to drop to approximately $88,700,000 during the current year. Eagle Point Schools To Open Sept. 12 Eagle Point Glenn Hale, superintendent of Eagle Point schools, announced Friday that school opening in district 9 has been postponed from Sept. 8 to Sept. 12. The postponement was made so students may continue work in the fruit harvest, which is expected to be most ly completed by that time. Several students from schools in the district annually work in the harvest. The change will be for Eagle Point grade and high school, Elk-Trail and Shady Cove. Gloria or her husband if she lets them know that her dad has chosen to set up his own private enterprise. She should make it clear, without seeming to patronize him, that she respects her fa ther for this and she is per fectly content to have them give him work or not, as they choose no favors asked.
