(UPI) Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1!)62 PAGES 1 to IU senate dcurriinq or Medicare Claimed Failure of Leadership Washington - (UPP - Sen. Ja cob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) says that the Senate's scuttling of medicare legislation reflected a "failure of leadership" of the Democratic party by Pres ident Kennedy. Javits, key Republican co sponsor of the old age health care compromiss, said the President would not have "much of an issue" for the congressional elections on this subject because 21 Demo cratic senators joined 31 Re publicans in killing the Administration-backed proposal. The President said imme diately after the legislation was killed in the Senate that he would take the medicare Investigation of. Favoritism at Fair Proposed j Olympia, Wash. IUPP - State Sen. R. R. Greive (D-Seattle) says an investigation of Expo- j Lodging and of the World's Fair Show Street should be ! broadened to probe charges of favoritism connected with the fair. "I don't think we should overlook anything," Greive, j vice chairman of the Legisla tive Council, said. Rep. Mark Litchman Jr. (D Seattle) charged last week , that "despite some controls, select businessmen 'ins' are earning millions while the outs' are going broke." He demanded an investiga tion of the fair's business deal ings to determine if any laws had been violated. j Specific Charges Greive said he thought the Legislative Council's staff should examine each of Litch man's charges "which are spe cific." "I don't think a public hear ing is warranted." Greive said "until we investigate to see if any abuses exist." Greive said he understood that many of the fair's exclu sive contracts, which Litch man cited as examples of fa voritsm, were "perfectly open and above board." He said he had been told that the fair "gave certain people exclu sive concessions so that they would put up money to get the fair started. "The time to object to that was when it was done, not now," he said. Should Investigate But, he concluded, "if there is some evidence that an abuse may exist, then we should investigate it." Litchman indicated that he wants to know if the fair awarded contracts without competitive bidding. He also asked for an inves tigation of the private Cen turv 21 Corp. "Who gave authority to the World's Fair Commission, comprised of appointed offi cials, to abdicate its power, if any, to a private corpora tion? Is It true that a private corporation actually operates the fair to the benefit of a few?" he asked. issue to the people in tne election campaign. He and other Democratic leaders blamed Republicans for the setback and said medicare would be used as a key elec tion issue against GOP can didates. Compilation Cited ' Javits cited a newspaper compilation showing that only 20 of Kennedy's 285 legislative proposals had been approved by Congress. That, he said, is "one of the lowest records of presidents indecent times." "There is no making up for that by crying out against the Congress or saying he is go ing to get a better Congress," Javits said. "He ought to do a much better job with the Congress he's got because he a law nor, in partisan terms, much of an issue, because of the fact that he has had de fections from his own side of people witli whom everybody had a right to expect he would have the greatest In fluence." Great Fellow Javits added: "You know this President is a great fellow for brave words, but he is not equally great for the actions which go with those words." He renewed his charge that Kennedy had withheld sup- I port from civil rights legisla tion to appease the southern wing of the Democratic party.

Javits declared 1962 Lamb Crop To Show Decrease Washington 1UPI The Crop Reporting board has estimat ed the 1962 lamb crop at 21, 277.000 head. 4 per cent less than the 1961 crop, but 2 per cent above the 1951-60 aser age. The decline from the 1961 crop was the largest for any year since 1949. The lamb crop in the 13 western states (11 Western states plus Texas and South Dakota) totaled 13,430,000 head, 4 per cent below the crop in 1961 but 6 per cent above average. In Texas, where about 15 per cent of the nation's lambs are produced, the 1962 lamb crop of 3,044,000 head was 6 per cent below 1961, but 11 per cent above average. The 35 native sheep states produced 6,928,000 head of lambs this year, down 5 per cent from 1961 and 5 per cent below average. PROFESSIONAL COURTESY London -'Oil- A newspaper today reported this exchanse between two law clerks: "You're a public servant and I'm a public servant.

University of Wisconsin scien tists have announced a process for smoking meat with elec trically charged particles fired from ray guns. Many Cong Suggestion By DICK WEST 1 Washington - ll'Pil - Shake speare once wrote that actors should speak their lines "trippingly on the tongue." This is a good rule, not only for the the stage but for all types of public de claiming. It is, for instance, closely observed by members I of Congress. Seldom a day goes by that one of them doesn't trip over his tongue. There have been some truly classic examples of congres sional tongue-trips. One of the best to come forth recently was produced by Rep. Elford A. Cederberg (R-Mich.). Speaking on the floor of the House. Cederberg made refer ence to a young lawyer, who, he said, was "still green be hind the ears." Even so, Cederberg was hard pressed to top the tongue tripper of Rep. Alfred E. San tangelo (D-N.Y.), who became indignant the other day over a proposal to organize a na tional lottery. Santangelo declared that such a thing was "morally re pugnant to millions of people, not in the United States, but also in the 24th Congressional District." Chicago, too, prob ably. Among connoisseurs of tongue-trippers, Rep. John Dent (D-Pa.), ranks high. I particularly admired the way he once pictured a group of people who were confronted by some dilem ma. They were, said Dent, "torn between two fires." It is generally agreed, how ever, that the all time cham pion congressional tongue tripper was the late Sen. Ken neth Wherry (R-Neb.). There are many cherished "Wherry isms," including his reference to "indigo China." Wherry once addressed Sen. Spessard Holland of Florida ressmen Follow Bard's in Making Speeches as the distinguished senator from Holland." He and former Sen. Tom Connally (D-Tex.) habitually referred to Chiang Kai-shek as "Shanghai Chek." Among present members of the Senate, Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R-Ind.) is regarded as an ace tongue-tripper. Near ly matching Wherry. Capehart once addressed a colleague as "Ihe senior senator from jun ior." On another occasion. Capehart got so carried away by senatorial courtesy that he referred to himself as "the distinguished sena tor from Indiana." My own favorite tongue-trip is the late Sen. Joseph R. Mc-; Carthy's famous "most un-j heard of thing I ever heard ! of." I This sort of thing is not, of course, com.ned to lawgivers. Tongue-trips also can occur' among congressional witness es, as evidenced this week by Donald A. Russell, an Agri culture Department official. Testifying at the Billie Sol Estes inquiry, Russell neatly summed up the department's position by observing that "unfortunately, we are not equipped with hindsight in ad vance." That's what I call hitting the nail on the head in a nutshell.
