Lobbyists Report
On Expenditures To
Influence Congress
- By Congraiaional Quarterly
Washington - Washington
lobbyists reported that they
.spent $3,770,108 in 1961 to
: Influence Congressional be-
havior. For what it's worth,
2 that is about 1 250,000th of
j the total amount Congress ap
' propriated in its 1961 session.
: The reported lobby spend
i ing may be insignificant com-
pared with the intangible in-
fluence of lobbyists upon na
( tional legislation, but the
; amount of money lobbies say
; that they spent does not nec
! essarily represent the true pic
1 ture. This is because the vag
. aries of the 1946 Federal Reg
; ulation of Lobbying Act make
' it unclear Just who has to re
; port what.
The Congresisonal Quarter-
ly survey for 1961, for ex
' ample, showed that 312 lobby
! organizations reported their
expenditures to influence leg
islation during the year. There
i are many others who maintain
that they do not have to re
port under the law, although
- their activities are similar to
; those who reported. Since the
law was passed, nearly 600
(. pressure groups have filed re-
N ports with the clerk oi tne
. House.
N Doesn't Apply
! In 1954, the Supreme Court
-i ruled that the lobby law was
limited to "direct communica-
.tion with members of Con-
egress." Many groups maintain
"vthat the law therefore no
longer applies to them be
cause they rto not engage in
direct communication with
members and their function is
not to influence legislation
but to "inform ' or "educate
members of their organiza
tions and the public.
The National Association of
manufacturers, for example,
has not filed a spending report
since 19S0. Other prominent
national groups which did not
file spending reports in 1961
were American Bankers asso
ciation, Americans for Con
stitutional Action, Americans
for Democratic Action and the

Another source of spending
which Is difficult to pin down
is that reported and a great
deal unreported by individ
ual lobbyists, such as lawyers
and public relations men, who
may have worked on behalf
of national organizations.
Top Spenders
Among those organizations
who did report 1961 lobby
expenditures, the two highest
were the American Medical
association, which reported
spending $163,405, and the
national headquarters of the
AFL - CIO, which reported
spending $139,919.
Add other labor groups' and
Individuals' spending to this
and the total reported spend
ing on behalf of labor was
$924,885.
The 171 business groups re
ported a total of $1,598,091.
The AMA fell among the 17
professional groups whose re
ported spending totalled $376,
912. Olher top spenders: Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation,
$111,364; American Legion,
$103,566; U. S. Savings and
Loan League, $101,801; Na
tional Farmers Union, $88,273;
American Trucking associa
tions, $84,988; National Com
mittee for Insurance Taxation,
$73,012; District Lodge No. 44,
International Association of
Machinists, $71,737; National
Housing Conference Inc., $68
675; International Brother
hood of Teamsters, $68,012.
National Federation of In
dependent Businesses Inc.,
$55,938; National Association
of Electric Companies, $55,
205; American Steamship
Committee on Conference
Studies, $54,028; National As
sociation of Home Builders,
$93,712; Nation-Wide Commit
tee of Industry, Agriculture
and Labor on Import-Export
Policy, $53,101; National Edu
cation association, $51,910; Na
tional Retail Merchants, $51,-
042; National Association of
Letter Carriers, $50,920.
It Worth It?
Is all this spending worth
the money? That's hard to pin
down, too, but the doctor s
organization, the top spend
ers in 1981, were hoping to
keep the Kennedy administra
tion's plan for medical care
for the aged under Social Se
curity bottled up in the House
Ways and Means committee.
That's Just what happened.
This year, the AMA will keep
trying and it's still a 50-50

- and still the pain continued.
Recently, I read an article
in which the great Swedish
nerve surgeon, Dr. Olive-
c r o n a, presented evidence
which much strengthens the
hunch I have long had, that
the injury which makes the
pain is not out in the skin,
but up in the brain. This
would explain why no amount
of treatment applied to the
skin or the local nerve is
likely to do any good. Under
these circumstances, I think
the patient ought to be given
sedatives, especially at night.
Hypnosis
In the last few years, hyp
nosis has again become fash
ionable and, as a result, of
late, many
people ask me
to find for
them a well-
trained and
t r u stworthy
and reputable
hypnotist.
Such persons
and deter
mined they
Aivre are going to
try hypnosis as a cure for a
backache, or over-weight, or
chain-smoking.
According to Drs. Harold
Rosen and Leo H. Bartemeier,
hypnosis can be useful in
medicine, but it is likely to be
helpful rather than curative,
and I would add, the cure is
not likely to come from one
session. For a while, nypnouc
suggestion can help the per
son to overcome some anxiety,
apprehension, or itching.
Several persons have come
to ask if I would find a hyp
notist to cure their psychosis.
I talked about this to good
friends of mine who are psy
chiatrists, and they said that
they sometimes use hypnotism
as an aid in treating people,
but they feel that it should
be used only as a part of the
treatment. They did not think
it wise for a patient to put
himself in the hands of some
unknown hypnotist who was
neither a physician nor a psy
chiatrist. Harm has been done
to some persons by poorly
trained hypnotists.
'Shingles' In the Aged
Hundreds of old people
write to ask, "Isn't there
some way in which I can get
cured of this miserable pain
left by a spell of shingles?"
As I have said here several
times, "shingles" are little
blisters which come, often on
the chest wall, following the
path of a nerve that has been
infected with a virus.
In young people, the blis
ters soon dry up, leaving lit
tle scars - and that is the
end of them. But in old peo
ple, for causes unknown, se
vere pain may remain for
months or a year or more. I
have read many articles on
this disease - articles by men
who have under-cut the skin.
or have anesthetized it, or we did the parallel bars
have even cut or destroyed an "L" shape. This proved to
Onion Freight Rate

today railroads have denied a
California request for a cut in

Mrs. Chapman showed how
to tell which is good material
and which is not good ma
terial. She showed us how to
tell if the pattern is woven
or printed on. Then some of
us picked the material or pat
tern we need for our 4-H

We will pick a name for
our club at the next meet

chance that the bill will never
see the light of day.
For its part, the AFL-CIO
and other labor groups have
seen much favorable action on
the variety of causes they have
been pushing. In 1061, for ex
ample, labor supported suc
cessfully passage of a high
er minimum wage bill and an
aid to depressed areas bill.
But the lobbies can't win
them all. If the medical care
bill passes this year, (or ex
ample and the AFL-CIO
will be fighting for it and the
AMA against it the AMA
will have lost; If it fails of
passage, the AFL-CIO and oth
er supporters will have spent
their time and money and en
ergy in vain.

Eugene - A University of
Oregon professor has received
the largest grant ever award
ed by the social science divi
sion of the National Science
Foundation, the NSF an
nounced this week.
The $224,700 grant to Dr.
Homer G. Barnett, professor
of anthropology, is also the
largest single grant ever re
ceived by the university for
research by an individual fac
ulty member.
The National Science Foun
dation is a government agency
created by Act of Congress in
1950 to promote the progress
of all branches of science.
Dr. Barnett's project, enti
tled "A Comparative Study of
Cultural Change and Stability
in Displaced Communities,
will involve the study of ten
groups of Pacific Islanders
who have been uprooted from
their traditional homelands.
Five-Year Study
The study will begin offi
cially May 15 and will extend
for approximately five years.
Purpose of the study is to
find the changes, or lack of
changes, which have occurred
in the social, economic, tech
nological, and ideological
lives of people who have had
to face "the crisis of removal
from home," Dr. Barnett ex
plained. The communities to be stud
ied are scattered on small is
lands across the South Pacific
in the Solomon, Fiji, Marshall,
Phoenix. Tonea, and New
Hebrides island groups and on
the island of New Guinea.
Various Governments
These islands are owned or
held in trust by various gov-
ernmenls, including the U.S.,
the United Kingdom, Austral,
ia, and France. Dr. Barnett.
on a trip to the Pacific last
summer, made preliminary
arrangements for the study
with officials of the foreign
governments.
Plans call for two commu
nity studies to be conducted
simultaneously during each
year of the project. Field di
rectors will accompany grad
uate students to the Pacific
communities at the start of
the individual studies and will
spend two to three months
helping them set up their re
search programs.
Graduate students will live
in the native communities for
10 to 12 months, gathering in
formation and making obser
vations. They will then return
for an additional year at the
university during which time
they will compile their data
and write reports.
Field Director
Dr. Barnett will act as a
field director in 1965-66, ac
companying graduate students
to the Fiji and Solomon is
lands. The Oregon anthropologist
became interested in the
South Pacific area during
World War II when he served
as executive secretary of a
committee, sponsored by the
Smithsonian Institution,
which was making a Pacific
area scientific survey.
He began field research
work in the Palau Islands in
the Pacific in 1947-48 under
the auspices of the National
Research Council.
From 1951 to 1953. he serv
ed as staff anthropologist on
the headquarters staff of the
high commissioner of the U.S.
Trust Territory of the Pacific
Islands, which comprises most
of the former Japanese hold- j
ings in this area. He served an
additional year as special con
sultant to the high commis
sioner. 1
Two Injured in
Highway 99 Mishap
Two people suffered minor
injuries in one of two acci
dents on county highways
Wednesday, according to state
police.
Walter Robert Lewis, 17,
and his passenger, John
Thomas Brough, 18, of Glen
ora, Calif., were treated for
cuts and bruises at Ashland
General hospital and released,
state police said.
The Lewis car was travel
ing north on Highway 99 near
the summit of the Siskiyou
mountains when it failed to
make a turn, struck a bank
and went over a four foot
ditch. The car then rolled out
of the ditch, spun around and
threw both the driver and pas
senger onto the pavement,
state police said.
A rear-end collision oc
curred on the east Evans
Creek rd., about a half mile
east of Wimer Wednesday
morning. A car driven by
Henry Howard Baker, 46, of
Rogue River, stopped on the
road, and a truck driven by
Arthur Earl Moorman, 44, of
102 Kings Way, Central Point,
ran into the rear of it.
