Row didthis Congress fare? United Press International asked Senate Democratic Leader . Lyndon B. Johnson and House Republican Leader Charles A.Halleck to evalu ate the record. Here are their views. - i - By LYNDON B. JOHNSON Senate Democratic Leader wasmngton ujpd The iir?t session of the 86th Congress, operating under great difficul ties, produced a record which was substantial, prudent and designed to serve public rath er than political needs. , Like every Congress, this session will have it critics. But the American people sus tained their faith in the Dem ocratic majority and the faith wa3 justified by solid achieve ments. . To list a few: Economy: Recognizing the need for careful management of public funds the Congress carried out its announced in tent to cut spending. It re duced the President's appro priation requests by a mini- in 1 1 rii 1 1 1 a i mill. nun ann - r.nf President's requests for back door financing by about $700,- 000,000. Most Effective Provisions Racketeering: The Congress combined the most effective provisions of bills passed by both the House and the Sen ate and produced legislation to 'clamp down on the thieves and hoodlums who have been preying on honorable labor and the public. , - Hawaiian . statehood: Con gress not only approved the admission of Hawaii as a state but set in motion a program to make Hawaii a great cen ter for exchange of knowl edge and culture between East and West. Cancer and heart disease: Congress provided the funds for a crash program to battle heart disease, cancer, and other killing and crippling ailments - the largest such program in history. This rep resented the only appropria tion bill in which presidential requests were increased, but the increase was more than offset by prudent reductions elsewhere. Other Accomplishments These achievements should not be allowed to overshadow the solid but possibly less dramatic accomplishments in other fields. Among the hundreds of bills which were Extension of the Agricul: tural Trade Development Act; the Alaska Omnibus Act; ex pansion of the World Bank and International ' Monetary Fund; and inter -American bank to strengthen the West ; em Hempisphere; Railroad re " tirement improvements; a bill to modernize the Navy; a veterans housing act; an im proved veterans pension bill; and many others. In some fields, Congress en countered the frustrations that can go with divided gov ernment. When the branches of government are controlled ; by different political parties, it is possible to paralyze the .nation. , Congress, at least, recogniz ed this fact and moved early to meet the views of the Ex ecutive branch halfway. This was based on the principle that it was better to do some thing and produce needed legislation for our people than to do nothing and produce issues for an election. In the field of housing, the Congress sought twice - with bills which had bipartisan Senate sponsorship to meet the views of the Executive. Twice, such bills were vetoed. Meets Immediate Needs A third attempt has been made, and if the Executive attempts to go as far in meet ing the views of Congress as Congress has gone to meet the Executive's views, America will have a housing bill. The measure will not go as far as it should in the judg ment of Congress. But it will meet immediate needs. Of course, there were issues which were not settled in the first session. This is true of every session of Congress. But the expiration of a session does not mean the expiration . of Congress, and the way has been paved for action ahead. Congress authorized a broad and thoroughgoing study of the nation's economy with a particular view to interest rates and similar matters. The study has "proceeded at a good pace and will set the stage for action. - The Civil Rights Commis sion, created by Congress in the 1957 act, has issued its Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL New York-Vice President Richard M. Nixoncommenting en the possibility that Russia might make territorial claims on the moon because its rockets, bearing Soviet pennants and emblems, was the first man-made object to reach it: "I'm not too concerned about that at the moment. In view of the climate of the moon, very few of us care who occupies it at the moment." . Chicago-James T. Mangan, who claims he owns space on the basis of a deed obtained from the Cook county (Chicago) recorder's office in 1949, protesting the Soviet moon shot: "They're entirely out of order in shooting a rocket to the moon. I put the moon, as well as Mars, under my protection in my proclamation of July 25. 1956." Little Rock, Ark.-Evangelist Billy Graham, describing the men accused of setting out Labor day explosions after meeting and praying with them in their cells: "They were very humble and, I would say. repentant."

HALLECK House Republican Leader Written for UPI Washington flJPD This is the Congress that found out the American people are still boss. . The people; spoke out on two vital issues. They demon strated that an informed, articulate, even indignant, public could bend a reluctant, Democratic - controlled Con gress to its will. They did this because they were an informed people, and my hat.is off to the magnifi cant job performed by the na tion's news media in dissect ing the issues. - The people made it clear they stood with President Ei senhower on his program for guarding the military., and economic strength of Amer ica. - Stood With President . ' Republicans in the Con gress stood with President Eisenhower on his program for guarding the military and economic strength of Amer ica. Republicans in the Con gress stood with the President, too. As a result, a large meas ure of his program has been sustained in spite of a Con gress that is dominated by substantial Democrat major ities in both the House and Senate. The people made it clear with millions of letters to their senators and representa-tives-that they wanted econ omy in government. Make no mistake about this: We have curbed the an nounced intention ( of radicals in -the Democrat ranks to bust the budget-to spend billions more of the dollars earned by our citizens on schemes that would sooner or later destroy freedom as we have known it. Dollar Defended .. In vote after vote, Repub licans in the Congress stood up to defend the- American dollar from further loss of buying power in the market place. With a conviction that spending far beyond our in come can result only in ever higher prices for a basket of groceries, a pair of shoes and a decent place to live, we have battled to keep the cost of government in line with need. The people wanted a really effective law to protect the country from abuses of power by arrogant labor bosses. Again they petitioned the Con gress with millions of letters. With the help of President Eisenhower and Republicans in the Congress, supported by discerning Democrats who sensed the public temper, we got such a law. : I0NTHLY If yon are making several instalment payments for different things you've purchased, here's a sound sug . gestion for lowering the monthly amount you have to pay out.

Drage of Colorado State' University advises home owners with evergreen trees in their, yards to give them a weekly bath. He says this will remove dust and allow the trees to "breathe." It also will reduce the possibility of insect in festation. It passed over the stubborn opposition of Democrats who were beholden to labor bosses for financial support. This new law will protect the right and property of the working man. It will stop cynical labor leaders from ad vancing their personal ambi tions at the expense of union members. It will stop, these same bosses from . blackjacking small "wusiness to the point of ruin. It will stop them from backhanding the consuming public with higher and high er prices. As minority leader in the House of Representatives, I am particularly proud of the record made by my outnum bered but never outfought Republican colleagues. We have stood with the President on issue after issue; and the country is better off for it.
