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. '

Wilfred E. 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.
